    When it comes to gameplay, Sorcery! won't be taxing for anyone. While the melee and magic combat don't shine on their own, they support the text adventure side of the game well, breaking up the extended periods of reading. Doesn't try to be an epic adventure, and will entertain over an afternoon.

    There is a lot of potential in Dark Nights with Poe and Munro. But, I needed the player to have a more active role rather than a passive one. But, perhaps there is an audience out there for this game and I just may not be it.

    Murder is Game Over is a short murder mystery RPG-style game. There really isn’t much deduction to be found here, especially since the dog will find all the clues.

    It has some nice smashing physics, but it has plenty of issues and very repetitive gameplay.

    Orbitect is a decently fun roguelite that you can lose some time in, but there are a few annoyances and less-than-great game design decisions that don’t make me want to play more than necessary.

    From its expansive lore to its varied play styles, it is clear that Last Regiment has a lot of heart behind it, but the game breaks too easily, both in terms of game balance and bugs.

    Gears 5 feels like a desperate attempt by The Coalition at trying to carve out a new identity for the series, but the execution feels half-hearted. The pseudo open-world skiff exploration is enjoyable early on, but the uninspired objectives end up making it feel dull after a while.

    A nice little real time tactical game that takes cues from The Lost Vikings and brings it up to date, let down by a frustrating control scheme and some odd choices that have made their way to the final game.

    At best, Disaster Report 4 recalls the mundane and absurd human dramas seen in Yakuza and Deadly Premonition, though shares more of the latter’s rough low-budget execution. Ultimately, it’s an acquired taste but might just scrape through on its peculiar charms to be a cult favourite.

    A brilliant concept with some excellent ideas, let down badly by the game engine, inconsistent writing and plotting.

    This Ain’t Even Poker, Ya Joker is a card-clicking game where you flip cards to earn enough gold to escape the carnival, mostly by watching everything play out automatically.

    Knock on the Coffin Lid Nightmare of Millenis DLC adds more challenge if you get the good ending for every character, so you can play it.

    All in all, Tennis World Tour 2 marks a notable improvement over its predecessor. Though, admittedly, that’s not saying too much when you consider just how poor it was. This seems like a franchise on the right track now but there’s a long road ahead before it can match and compete with other top sporting videogames.

    HELL OF FEAR: Mind Breach offers some fun gameplay, but the repetitive nature and weak gunplay make the initial experience more of a chore than it should be.

    The game features a lovely, minimalistic art-style, but that doesn’t save it from the awkward, touchy controls that take too long to get the hang of to really enjoy the game for what it is.

    There’s definitely fun to be had in Lock’s Quest, it’s just unfortunately locked behind a wall of frustrating control issues.

    Despite this being a disappointing re-release of beloved classics, I still had an enjoyable trip down memory lane playing the single-player content. That said, the minimal improvements aren’t enough to recommend at the current price.

    I will say if you even remotely like the look of the art then Blightbound is a must buy to experience that alone, it's worth every penny in that regard, but if you are looking for anything more then I’d sadly give it a miss. I really wanted to like Blightbound, it's clear there is some real passion and brilliance in places but it just never reaches anything close to its potential. The rabbit hole is horribly shallow, the promising first leap into the magical world being cut horribly short as you hit the earth with a deafening thud.

    Runic Rampage serves as a smooth hack and slash title for those looking for a goofy, low-spec adventure.

    The best thing that Robot Squad Simulator has going for it is its uniqueness - you’ll probably not find another simulator title like it out there. Its variety of missions, interesting concept and bug-free execution gloss over what at times feels like an average game. If you like your simulators, give this one a try.

    In summary, Project Nimbus is a solid air and mecha combat game in its present form that makes you feel like a badass gundam pilot at its peak and like the protagonist in a bad anime at its lows. Depending on what gameplay and story changes the developers make as it nears completion, it could go either way. But for now this is definitely something to keep an eye on.

    LAN Party Adventures offers an interesting mystery and sense of nostalgia, but little mechanically to keep you invested for long.

    An enjoyable game that leaves you longing for a bit more depth and complexity. While it may feel like it’s a missed opportunity at a great concept, it may yet turn out to be a real gem.

    King Arthur: Legion IX is competent and works as it should, but it lacks any draw for new players and is likely better for fans of the series.

    It’s short and cathartic, but the Switch isn’t really the best place for Looking Up I See Only A Ceiling. Definitely don’t forget to check out the epilogue though.

    There’s a lot of heart and dedication on display here, but the later Tomb Raider games issues are still on display.

    Sovereign Syndicate is an enjoyable tale of three people, murder, revenge, and redemption. Though the lack of voice acting and minor bugs may keep some away, if you’re in the market for a good story and an interesting mystery, I recommend giving it a try!

    Uncompromising to a fault, Below is a unique and often hauntingly beautiful game but its punishing design eventually becomes a tedious slog, sucking out any intrigue or enjoyment of its initial hours.

    A briefly funny but ultimately shallow experience that throws all of the progression into the less interesting mode and wears its inspirations on its sleeves.

    A solid, if uninspiring run ‘n gun title with some very nice visuals. The game’s length and difficulty make it hard to recommend without reservation but if you are after something a little quirky you might enjoy your brief time with this.
