    Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem isn't too much about the mayhem and the speed and more about building the tracks and hitting good curbs. Still, it's worth checking out for its graphics and interesting puzzle elements!

    Atlas Wept should be given more love and attention with its fun gameplay and great story. Don’t be afraid to give it a whirl, you’ll never know what its world has to offer.

    Saga of the Moon Princess is an interesting title, clearly inspired by classics like Link to the Past, but unfortunately, it is buggy, and the lack of direction makes it frustrating at times.

    Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior uses a unique gameplay mechanic that has you working with clones of yourself to take down the foes that stand in your way. A compelling story and addictive gameplay make this a must-play title.

    Spurdo :D is a comedic adventure through multiple lives and genres that offers a laugh and a surprising variety of mechanics to enjoy! While short, the low price and general feel of care spent on this title managed to twist a recommendation out of me!

    A great cast of characters let down by a fairly unengaging narrative, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is still a superb RPG packed with content. Grab your friends, it’s time to go adventuring in the skies.

    Hard to recommend for non-fans, but if you’ve read the manga or watched the anime, you’ll want to experience this. If you can get past the control scheme, that is.

    A pleasantly wholesome love story that knows what it’s aiming for and delivers it expertly. If you’re on the hunt for a fuzzy romance story with a hint of the mystical, My Lovey-Dovey Demon promises a worthwhile experience.

    Alan Wake 2 is a thrilling follow-up to its original, with a rich, intertwining narrative and genuinely terrifying moments. Aside from some combat pitfalls, it’s a nearly flawless sequel.

    A fairly unique title with a bit less in it than I would like. It’s fun and relatively low-priced, however, so it’s probably worth taking a risk on a cheap 90 minutes of something that’s unlike most other games.

    Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is a fun and challenging twin-stick shooter with great characters and a sense of humour. There’s so much to do here that it will keep you busy for a long time!

    MiceGard is an enjoyable game that has you controlling a group of Viking mice as a unit to fight off frogs that are attacking their village. There are some text issues, but it’s a minor annoyance when playing.

    While a bit repetitious and simple, Bug & Seek is a relaxed and informational game about collecting bugs, solving a mystery, and getting to know the town. It’s not for everyone, but it is a good game for a spot of casual gaming or a younger audience.

    Blood West is a fantastic stealth FPS with some light immersive sim elements. The world feels incredibly bleak, yet super atmospheric, definitely worth the pickup!

    Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is an awesome action platformer that pulls you in with its beautiful world and lore, evolving the metroidvania genre with a lot of great changes. You must play this game.

    A good RTS with four different factions with distinct playstyles. If you want a taste of the Warhammer world, this may be a good place to start, though watch out for frantic combat and demanding action!

    Outpath is an enjoyable way to spend a chill morning, with its compelling gameplay loop and Minecraft-like world. If you’re looking for a casual, satisfying title, this one’s for you.

    Astral Ascent pairs the snappy controls and satisfying upgrades of roguelite staples with a stellar art style and feel-good atmosphere. Some design frustrations stifle its greatness, but this is still an easy recommendation for fans of the genre.

    Invincible Presents: Atom Eve is a short and sweet game that may get repetitive, but is overall a fun one for newcomers and fans of Invincible. If you have a few hours, I recommend giving it a go.

    Wildshade is a serviceable kart racer with an interesting core mechanic and purposefully built courses that reward careful attention. However, it doesn’t offer nearly enough to warrant its price tag and fumbles in other key moments.

    Immortals of Aveum’s greatest flaw is missing the target in marketing. It may not be the best FPS adventure, but it has a very enjoyable narrative and great (albeit few) full-fledged spell-flinging fights that I couldn’t get enough of.

    Though I genuinely loved my time with Venba, I could not swallow the steep asking price for the short, one-hour experience that you will have. It's a great, tear-jerking story that immigrants will resonate with, but there isn't enough here to justify the entry fee.

    Not once did I have any technical difficulties while playing (something I cannot say about Company of Heroes 3), so I highly recommend this game to anyone interested or a casual gamer.
