Bite Night is funny enough, but it's short and there’s nothing to return to here.

Until Then is a story-rich adventure full of standouts: its beautiful pixel art, relatable protagonist, realistic character dynamics, and thoughtful representation of Filipino culture. It’s a coming-of-age tale worth experiencing.

Read Only Memories: Neurodiver is like a beautiful dream: it can sweep you off your feet with impeccable music, beautiful visuals, and an entertaining story, but once it’s over, it loses some lustre.

The Dark Cave is a fine roguelite that encourages thinking ahead and thinking on your feet. However, it just doesn’t quite hit its marks with its aesthetic and a little bit of its difficulty. Fun but not as memorable as it should be.

Anger Foot kicks ass, both figuratively and literally! It’s fast-paced and brutal, with a setting that just begs for you to go wild. Don’t sleep on this incredibly stupid and fun bout of focused chaos.

While definitely on the short side for its price, I had a lot of fun with how simple a game it is, and it’s perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Pine Hearts is an exploration game with bittersweet undertones, merging childhood memories with that of a more grown-up perspective. It’s a narrative for all ages and one that’s flaws don’t detract from the overall experience.

Hot Lap Racing has a huge selection of classic and modern cars to drive on some awesome tracks, but the difficult tutorial may scare players off.

Magical Delicacy is a cooking metroidvania which you can easily lose yourself in. Like any good fantasy, it encourages exploration and it doesn’t punish you for your mistakes. With an intriguing story, you can really put yourself in Flora’s shoes as you learn about the Kingdom of Grat with her.

Despite a few instances where my interest waned, Kunitsu-Gami pulled me back in time and time again with its fast-paced combat and simple, yet rewarding, strategy elements.

Dystopika is a great city-builder, but lacks the depth and complexity to make it one of the best.

Thistlemine has an interesting gameplay loop, but sometimes the difficulty can feel unfair.

Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus is one of the most beautiful games I have played. With great characters and a compelling story, it is sure to draw you in and challenge you.

SCHiM uses shadows in delightfully creative ways, turning ordinary objects into astoundingly helpful tools. This wholesome, vibrant 3D platformer offers an adventure that shouldn’t be missed.

A fun mix of roguelike and real-time strategy game, Necrosmith 2 will make you giggle at the sarcastic cat and have you coming back for more, especially if you have a Steam Deck, I suspect.

The Last Alchemist is a good time. It’s relaxing and cosy but also likes to make you rack your brain and experiment to come up with solutions to create, uh, solutions. It can feel like a chore at times, but the effort and time put into it is well worth it.

Paper Trail is a really nice game with a lot of fun to be had. It has some small issues and feels a little too short for its price, but is a great experience if that doesn’t bother you.

Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge is an adorable, cosy game, starring adorable frogs that has you working to save the wetlands. This game makes it feel like you are trying to help and make a difference.

While largely enjoyable, there are too many technical issues to be ignored on its quest to become the quintessential 90s 3D platformer.

Don’t miss out on Beyond Good & Evil. It’s a great game that deserves to be played, and while I do have issues, some of which are not inherent to the game (like requiring Ubisoft Connect), it is well worth the price.

A simple action-adventure game with a stunning visual design, #BLUD is an enjoyable title packed full of jokes, charming characters, and vampires to slay!

The Lullaby of Life is a relaxing puzzler with lovely visuals, excellent pacing, and a calming soundscape. This beautiful, bite-sized adventure is definitely worth exploring.

With My Past is an interesting puzzle platformer that tackles heavy themes. It is a beautiful game that poses a unique challenge to players, but one that you should play with care.

Echo Generation: Midnight Edition has a great voxel look, great references, and a fun story, but be prepared to do a lot of fetch quests and grinding to progress!

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game might not be perfect, but fans of the genre or series (or looking to confront their fear of clowns) should check it out.

A dark, more mature story, a great new cast of characters, and much improved turn-based action make Trails through Daybreak a fine addition to the franchise that’s accessible to fans and newcomers alike.

Rolling Hills: Make Sushi, Make Friends is as satisfying as great sushi. You’ll have fun running a restaurant and making friends at a nice pace with very little to stop you.

It’s nice that the developer is still supporting the game almost 18 months on, improving the post-launch state of the game, and the lesbian polyamory is just nice to see without delving too deep into fanservice.
