Priced at just £8.50, subpar pool is something I recommend as a no-brainer for anyone who likes the premise.

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.

Wildmender is a beautiful game that manages to balance cosy gardening with epic adventure and ruthless survival. One of my favourite games of the year. And you can hug frogs.

Bish Bash Bots is a unique blend of a tower defence title and a brawler that can be played alone or with friends. It can get challenging at times, but it’s a ton of fun!

If your PAW Patrol fan is looking to have fun in Adventure Bay (and beyond) then just yelp for PAW Patrol World.

The Gap has a compelling and sombre narrative and an interesting premise that will appeal to fans of slow-burning mysteries. Whilst the puzzles could have been slightly more complex, this short game of one man's quest to save his loved ones is still a tale worth experiencing.

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.

Asterix & Obelix: Heroes is a serviceable game for what it is but lacks the passion and impact needed to make it fun for more than a short play session.

Savant - Ascent REMIX is a challenging twin-stick shooter with a great soundtrack and beautiful visuals. If you love bullet-hell games, this is a title that you will want to try!

Green With Energy is nice but isn’t anything special. With its cheap price, it’s still a good purchase if you’re looking for a purely puzzle-based game, though.

While there are some standout visuals and atmosphere, Tribe is sadly just another run-of-the-mill survival game…

Like the island in the title, Skull Island: Rise of Kong should be left alone by anyone curious enough to buy, play, and refund the game.

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is a decently fun time. While not perfect, it’s a unique take on a sandbox survival game.

Sugar Shack is another addition to the cosy genre. If you’re into simple, no-extra-frills restaurant simulators or are really passionate maple syrup, it might be your cup of tea.

Scene Investigators demands the attention of a real investigator, with the determination and knowledge to crack cases open. For the patient and studious, you’ll be greatly rewarded for your efforts.

Space Wreck is a great example of an isometric RPG but simplified enough for new players to the style.

Dash & Swing may seem simple based on its title, but requires a lot of skill and practice to really master.

Station to Station is a fantastic game, with a beautifully calming atmosphere, yet slightly lacking in content.

TY the Tasmanian Tiger 4 Bush Rescue isn’t a busted title, but it doesn’t do anything to make it feel memorable or special from other platformers out there. It mostly felt repetitive and not challenging enough to make it rewarding.

Mystic Gate is a fun roguelite bullet hell game that will challenge your reflexes and that has a huge assortment of weapons and skills that you acquire to use on your runs. It’s a challenging game, but feels addictive and not incredibly frustrating!

Cattails: Wildwood Story is a cute cosy game featuring adorable cats trying to survive on their own in the wilderness. Channel your inner cat to ensure your clan thrives!

Ghostrunner 2 is an exemplary sequel, improving upon the original in every way. With better Energy systems, delightful and responsive bike levels, fantastic bosses, and the same quick-paced gameplay from the original, it's a no-brainer for anyone who remotely enjoyed the first.

Sweet Dreams Alex isn’t bad, but at times, it feels repetitive and doesn’t have an engaging story to make you want to continue playing.

Although a few issues can mar the overall enjoyment, CRYMACHINA is nevertheless an enjoyable tale of reincarnated humans and their struggle to define what it is to be a “real human”. Slick, responsive combat and a fantastic musical score make this a title you shouldn’t overlook.

Jackbox Party Pack 10 is a fun addition to your party game rotation, with great mini-games like Dodo Re Mi and Timejinx you are sure to have a great time! The Hypnotorious game was a miss for us.

Agatha Christie — Murder on the Orient Express offers an excellent mystery, but not much in the way of good gameplay. Often dull and tedious, it’s hard to recommend.

Hellboy Web of Wyrd is a genuinely enjoyable action title, but its lack of difficulty makes it challenging to recommend binging through it, as it starts becoming monotonous a few hours in.

The Troop as a generally solid, if difficult, strategy game on the whole is a diamond in the rough for diehard fans of the genre, but a steep price of entry and less-than-stellar presentational polish means that casual strategists might give it a pass.
