    Valkyrie Drive -Bhikkhuni- hopes the abundance of cheap titillation will distract you from the uninspired repetitive brawling. There isn’t anything wrong with the game per se but it doesn’t do anything you can’t find done better elsewhere and that’s a shame.

    The pros just barely outweigh the cons for me in this puzzle game. Since the puzzles are less than impressive and the animations seem to have taken a step back, it's only because the addition of the alchemy minigame and the extra easy completion that I would recommend this game. Without a doubt, this is one of the most forgettable Artifex Mundi titles.

    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.

    Playing Seven: The Days Long Gone feels more like a workout than a relaxing session of gaming but there is a good game here, the player just needs to work for it.

    This title doesn’t add anything to the previous titles and doesn’t offer up a great story. Although, it does have the usual chilled out gameplay and can keep casual gamers happy for a few hours.

    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.

    Although a passionate display of Drop Bear Bytes’ native culture and heritage, and a beautiful visual and audio experience, Broken Roads is stuck as a missed opportunity where its shortcomings outweigh the diamond-in-the-rough potential.

    If you’re a Switch owner, there are better mech games, and there are better fighting games. Override is a game best overlooked.

    The Captain Is Dead does so many things well independently, but is held back massively by the pure luck factor of the games events. There’s a great game in here, but it’s marred by miserable gameplay experience in which victory is snatched out of the players’ hands regardless of their skill level.

    Overall, the gameplay mechanics of SOULVARS were enjoyable, but the story is repetitive and the characters and story felt lacking. If you enjoy deck-builders, this should be up your alley, but if you’re here for the narrative I would look elsewhere.

    While some people may be looking for a similar experience to Super Meatboy, full of stressful levels that require some serious reflexes and problem solving, OVIVO offers the exact opposite. It’s a relaxing experience that doesn’t really challenge the mind or reflexes, instead it's more like weaving your way through a maze of fantastic artwork. Overall the game has nice simple mechanics and some lovely visuals and audio, however it falls short when it comes to difficulty, replayability, and price.

    Whispers in the West - Co-op Murder Mystery has a great premise, funny dialogue, and fun gameplay, but most of the content is hidden behind DLC.

    An average RPG spoiled by janky combat and technical issues. I’d only jump into this if there was literally nothing else to play.

    Beyond the impressive visuals and large collection of different Gundam units featured in the game there is not much else going for this title. Gundam Versus is an interesting title that will tick all the boxes for any fan of the series but sadly does not feel like a complete package that is lacking in reliability and content.

    Enjoyable for a time, Garden Simulator doesn’t have the staying power to keep players coming back for more. Whilst it can become addictive, the lack of variety means that this wears off far sooner than I would have liked.

    Sephonie is an enjoyable experience gameplay-wise, but every other element weighs down an otherwise great puzzle platforming experience.

    While BEYBLADE X XONE would be enjoyable for fans of the series, its hefty price tag and repetitive play style means it’s only really one that hardcore fans would enjoy.

    Space Hulk: Deathwing is a game full of potential, wasted on terrible creative decisions that pitch the game's strengths directly against one another.

    FOX n FORESTS is a game with a few really great things going for it - including its charming story and mostly clever level design that puts its clever season-changing mechanic to good use. Unfortunately, a few aggressive flaws quickly sap the fun out of the entire experience, including forced backtracking; annoying one-hit-kill autoscrollers out of nowhere; and its overall short playtime. It's difficult to recommend the game overall, but it might be worth it for hardcore retro platformer fans.

    One Last Breath is pretty, occasionally tense, but always slow, and fails to develop its puzzles or narrative in any meaningful way beyond the introductory sequence.

    Startup Panic is fun for its first few hours, but tails off quickly. It’s cute art and music will keep you interested, but once you stop playing you are unlikely to return to this office.

    Marko: Beyond Brave is good at its core, but its execution can be quite shaky. It has great presentation and methodical fights with bosses and enemies, but the iffy platforming and issues I encountered just left a bad taste afterwards.

    Despite getting some enjoyment out of it, Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator quickly became both monotonous and irritating thanks to the driving sequences. A disappointing simulator that just doesn’t live up to its potential.

    A potentially great game with excellent visuals and sound design let down by awkward controls and a humdrum narrative.

    Tad the Lost Explorer is a nice-looking 3D platformer that sends you around the world to solve puzzles, discover treasures, and prove that you are a great explorer. There are issues with some of the puzzles where completing it doesn't trigger the next event correctly, so you may need to replay sections.

    NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja STORM suffers the most from questionable game design choices throughout its campaign. The free battle mode, however, offers a nice variety of characters, and some customisation options and a competent enough AI to make it worthwhile.

    Music Racer Ultimate is a high-energy racing game with brightly-coloured visuals that uses your choice of music to create the courses. There are some neat vehicles to unlock, but the flashing, pulsing visuals made it hard to play for a long time.

    A decent game to play where you’ll be asking yourself “what is going on?” but not out of curiosity.

    Knight Crawlers is a fine game that does what it wants well but has nothing else to offer in the long run.

    Fun with friends for a short time, Firefighting Simulator - The Squad quickly loses its appeal when played alone. Commanding a team of unthinking AI that seemingly ignores your orders makes for a frustrating time.
