    Compile Heart has produced something that’s more than a boob-based JRPG, with a very compelling story and a lot of interesting ideas.

    Resident Evil Village is an expertly-crafted narrative that seamlessly weaves subtle horror into action-driven sequences and backs it up with an excellent story supported by even better characters. An exemplary merit that Capcom still hasn’t lost its creative spark.

    Bugsnax is special. Young Horses have a unique, interesting and charming concept that’s been executed perfectly. There are a few nitpicks here and there but if you have any interest in Bugsnax you’ll find a game unlike any other and one I can’t stop saying good things about.

    Lords and Villeins is an excellent colony simulator that doesn’t hold any punches. Pick this up if you want a real challenge, or get sucked into intricate strategy and economic management, though you will need a lot of time on your hands.

    A comedic and utterly bizarre adventure game backed with passion and love for the genre and the craft, with some important options missing letting down a near perfect game.

    Slick gameplay, stylish visuals and an interesting narrative with a timeless underlying theme of cooperation, respect, and understanding of each other’s points of view.

    ArcRunner is a great roguelite and shooter, with style and substance to keep you coming back for more.

    Some minor technical issues aside, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is everything a fan of the series could ask for, whilst also giving newcomers the best version of the game.

    If you’re interested in a relaxing upbeat unique experience, then I definitely recommend picking up ArtPulse VR to discover your creative side.

    Torn Away is a really impactful experience that is definitely worth playing. It’s not the most interesting gameplay, but the story alone makes it an amazing game that is definitely worth buying.

    A fantastic addition that gives an excellent reason to revisit this great beat ‘em up. The difficulty is definitely a challenge, but for fans, this is a no-brainer!

    The Last Leviathan is just a really enjoyable game. Yes, there are small gripes like the sensitivity in the camera, the loading time when booting the game up, and the lack of crew members on your vessels but once the planned updates are implemented, there should be little reason to avoid this game. Sailing the seas in your own craftwork is very satisfying, as are the bright and vibrant graphics.

    As mech games go, MechWarrior 5: Clans is an easy-to-recommend title full of action and drama. It may take itself too seriously, but this is still a brilliant sci-fi adventure.

    An extremely polished, well put together sequel in a long running franchise that old fans and newcomers will enjoy. Its slow pace won’t be for everyone but it’s an enjoyable time from start to finish.

    Where the story falls short, the gameplay rises up. The fighting is fun to pick up and play, but hard to master. There’s no shortage of combos and character specific special moves, making finding your character of choice and fun and personal experience. For those that are fans of the series, Central Fiction is an absolute must have. For fighting game fans that want a fighting game to keep them busy until Tekken 7 comes out, Central Fiction is definitely worth a try, just be prepared to do a lot of reading if you want to understand the lore.

    Par for the Dungeon is a simple, easy, and casual mini-golf title that I enjoyed more than I ever expected. If you're new to the genre and want to branch out, it's definitely a great title, but it might be less so for veterans.

    It was yet another good game from Ubisoft and I always like to be an Assassin again. I look forward to seeing if the next Assassin’s Creed game will be just as big as Odyssey, although not too big please.

    How you feel about Atelier Lulua ~The Scion of Arland~ will be largely influenced by which parts of JRPGs you like most. If you are drawn mainly to an engaging story and the interaction between characters, you’ll probably enjoy it. If you’re a fan of lots of combat and fast paced action, it might not be your cup of mana. If, like me, you enjoy tweaking stats and finding the best combinations of items to maximise your characters, then you will love it. I spent more time crafting than anything else and I loved it. It took me back to the days of spending an hour in the menus of Final Fantasy VII, trying to find the perfect materia combinations and for that reason, I loved it.

    SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash is an incredibly addictive deck-building card game that has you collecting and fighting SNK and Capcom characters against each other. Making it look like you are playing on a Neo Geo is a neat touch but makes the game area very small making Switch hand-held mode quite hard.

    Black Skylands has a compelling story and is a great mix of a twin-stick shooter with a flying game that switches between the two often enough that you won’t get bored. Piloting a large airship can be frustrating at times, but it gets easier as you practise.

    Moonstone Island is an excellent game that combines what I like from other games and improves on them. Whatever your path may be, it’ll be a fun one.

    If you are a fan of Final Fantasy definitely pick this game up. Just maybe next year sometime. This games biggest disadvantage is that it’s been released only a month before Final Fantasy XV. But if you do play this game you will be treated to a wonderfully adorable and charming RPG with a cast of colourful characters, an immersive battle system, beautiful worlds and a soundtrack that is simply amazing. While the story is cliched and simple it’ll still have you hooked! Maybe we should give Square another chance.

    Whilst this isn’t a game that represents great value, it’s still excellent fun. Bowser’s Fury is a nice, if a little short, addition to a game which didn’t get the attention it deserved due to the failure of the Wii U.

    Pendula Swing - The Complete Journey is a unique, fun, and beautiful experience that I think everyone that is a fan of RPG and point-and-clicks should try. It charmed my pants right off.

    Sniper Elite: Resistance is a fantastic time, with its minor flaws rarely impacting the experience.

    Yars: Recharged is a remake of the best-selling Atari 2600 game, and it’s easy to see why it was so popular! This game will keep bringing you back for more with fun and challenging gameplay.

    Destroy All Humans is a fantastic, faithful experience. Both older fans and new fans will find a lot of enjoyment here and hopefully we will see a lot more of Crypto’s antics going into the new generation.

    The Knightling is a wholesome and beautiful action platformer that hearkens back to the PlayStation 2 era. Great humour, amazing movement controls, and fun combat make this a title you won’t want to miss, though there is still room for a few QoL updates and patches.

    Another solid entry into the franchise in what should be the exciting conclusion of the trilogy. Blood for the Blood God and all that good stuff!

    One of those games that can be appreciated regardless of how long it’s been around – Xanadu Next makes some brilliant use of videogame elements that we have all come to love, and although the player often lacks meaningful choice the game is never truly restrictive.
