    Headbangers: Rhythm Royale is a fun music-themed title with great visuals and an eclectic soundtrack. A lot of the mini-games here are fun, but a couple are incredibly frustrating.

    Cavern of Dreams hearkens to a more innocent era of videogames, providing a short and sweet adventure that’ll have you brimming with nostalgia. Although rough around a few of its more minor edges, there’s still a substantially poignant experience to be had.

    Disney Illusion Island Starring Mickey and Friends is a fun, whimsical journey across Monoth that handles metroidvania surprisingly well. It’s an easy recommendation, even if you’re not a fan of Disney yourself.

    Bounty Star is fun whether you’re hunting down scum, modifying your mech, or tending to your farm.

    A very fun game with lots and lots of things to do, sadly let down by some bugs and poor audio quality. 70s songs and a 90s story don’t quite save this.

    CASSETTE BOY can change how you view the world with its mechanics and puzzles, but is held back by some odd and frustrating design decisions.

    How much you’ll get out of Steins;Gate: My Darling's Embrace really depends on what you enjoyed in the original game. If you’re looking for some humorous antics with a dash of romance, then this is the right place for you. Those that are more into time travel and the serious side of Steins;Gate should really look elsewhere.

    Ready, Steady, Ship! is an okay game at first but can get a little boring after a while and is very annoying at times.

    It has its issues, but it’s nice to finally get this off of the Vita.

    My Time At Portia is a beautiful experience that has a lot of content to offer players. Be it farming or fighting, you'll find something to enjoy in this carefully crafted title.

    There’s nothing inherently fun about Pure Farming 2018, the fun comes from wherever you, the player, can obtain it. For me, like I said before, it was listening to country music and watching the days wind down one after the other. Despite that slow grind based enjoyment though, this title doesn’t offer a lot in the way of keeping me engaged. It’s a game that you’ll play and probably like for a time, but your enjoyment will slowly peter out until you want to play something that does more to keep your attention.

    Spellforce 3 is an ambitious game that manages to blend fun RTS segments with traditional isometric dungeon exploration in a neat RPG package.

    A fairly engaging and challenging turn-based tactical game, Classified: France ‘44 is, unfortunately, let down by the frequent bugs and a basic presentation.

    The Crush House is a FPS where you shoot with your camera instead of a gun. It really encapsulates the reality TV format, but like reality TV, it did run the risk of getting repetitive after too many seasons.

    Outriders is a boring game to play solo, with a lack of any real end-game content and bugs that may wipe all of your progress it’s probably best to wait for a sale for this one.

    Despite its repetitive call cycle and crowded map, 112 Operator is a stressful yet enjoyable simulation/strategy game that truly shows the hardships of working as an emergency service operator. Plus, it helped bring closure to a childhood event that I didn’t know I needed.

    Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is an example of a game that is “just fine.” If you’re looking to scratch an itch, then Mandragora might be the one for you.

    Ambitious, but unfortunately falls under the weight of those ambitions. Trying to juggle too many things, there’s a decent game here, it’s just hidden under awkward controls, a restrictive camera and the need to vomit. Also the names kind of dumb.

    It’s just not particularly interesting to play through. There’s certainly some enjoyment for fans to latch onto, but it’s hard to say if that’s enough when the game feels skin-deep in its appeal.

    Whether you are a serious fan of bullet hell games or new to the genre, Raiden V: Director’s Cut is a great place to start. It offers easy to play, but hard to master gameplay and some great moments throughout and lives up to the series name!

    A good visual novel and introduction to the Werewolf: The Apocalypse universe. It may be far too brief, but its replay value goes a long way towards making up for that shortcoming.

    Poly Bridge is a title that will thrill those who enjoy the genre - it has very few flaws and a lot of playability. Cute, creative and challenging, it's a thoroughly enjoyable title.

    A gorgeous, funny and well-thought out concept falls down when it comes to the meat and bones of combat, enemy AI and gameplay flow. Similarly, some may feel cheated that the game contains scant few levels, despite how fleshed-out they may be.

    Cladun Returns: This is Sengoku is a fun and enjoyable game. It has little to no faults, it looks gorgeous, it also has a huge replay value with Co-op, and trying to beat your best times in dungeons. If you enjoyed games like The Binding Of Isaac then you will love this. While it may not be as difficult, it is still as fun.

    This is a cool twist on the story of Adam and Eve. With great music, graphics and a great story Smelter combines the platforming and real time strategy genres with great success.

    Verne: The Shape of Fantasy tells an interesting story with beautiful graphics and a charming atmosphere, yet the gameplay can feel a bit lacking and repetitive at times.

    At its best, Yooka-Laylee reminds me why I fell in love with colourful platformers, it's a love letter to childhood nostalgia. At its worst, Yooka-Laylee reminds me why we moved away from platforming games: odd design choices and occasional bugs sour the experience.

    Despite some minor issues and some disorienting audio, I appreciated the metanarrative and surrealism of [I] doesn’t exist. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys story-rich games.

    WE ARE FOOTBALL 2024 may not be a revolutionary game in the football management sim genre, but it's a much more accessible title for fans who don’t want to get too into managing their own club.

    Despite Minoria not being in my typical realm of games, I was pleasantly surprised by its entertainment value. The attention to detail was terrific, especially in the background. I appreciated the challenge my mind had in combat, especially when facing the bosses. I would greatly recommend it for gamers looking for voyages of this fashion.
