Another great entry into the long-running series, Ys X: Proud Nordics is highly recommended, provided you haven’t played the original. For those who have, there just isn’t enough new content to justify paying full price.

Accessible NASCAR fun for all with some good fun offline AI races to be had, but it feels like the multiplayer aspect may be positioned to have people looking to move up to NASCAR 25’s bigger brother — iRacing.

A decidedly average racer that missed the mark of the hype that it had surrounded itself with before launch, but there may be potential for the title in future.

Gumball in Trick-or-Treat Land is a successful trip down memory lane. It may be a short title, but it doesn’t miss out on charm, with an adventure that will delight players of all ages.

MindsEye is a title with a lot of promise that stutters a bit when trying to deliver, but there is a fun game here if you’re willing to get past the initial slowness.

Bean Beasts is a unique tower defence game with great visuals and addictive gameplay, but the punishing boss fights can make it feel unfair and frustrating.

A management sim with not enough variety, Disco Simulator is fun for a short while, but quickly becomes too repetitive to want to see it through to completion.

World War Z x The Walking Dead is a solid DLC, but it’s not enough for new players to buy the game.

One of the most unique experiences I’ve had in gaming, and I can’t believe it’s over; I look forward to more titles by The Rat Zone.

Apart from troubles with framerate and visual clarity, Romeo is a Dead Man is worth your time if you’ve had this game on your radar. You’ll want to kill the past over it.

Confidential Killings - A Detective Game won’t offer challenging investigative puzzles or tedium-free clue gathering, but you do receive excellent visuals and an interesting cast of characters.

For a fantasy tavern simulator on console, there’s only a handful, and this one happens to be the best one I’ve played by far. Give it a try if you don’t have Steam and/or friends.

The Prisoning: Fletcher’s Quest is a bizarre and humorous game that traps you inside the subconscious of a burnt-out game developer. It is very challenging and rewarding at the same time.

Mewgenics is an eclectic, strategy-filled experience. I’ve never played a game that combines cat breeding with tactical, turn-based battles like this. It was worth the wait.

While it can be repetitive and the art style is a little generic, Temirana: The Lucky Princess and the Tragic Knights shines when it comes to world-building and the distinct storylines through each route of gameplay.

Craftlings is charming in many ways, from its retro style to its complex systems. However, it can be pretty frustrating to learn how everything works.

Cozy Caravan is one of the most unique experiences I've had, and it's elevated even further by the evident love the 5 Lives Studios pours into it.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure brings all the great features of mobile games while leaving behind FOMO, and it makes it one of the most cosy titles you can find on Steam!

The Perfect Pencil is a great metroidvania full of exploration, a rich story, and odd, hand-drawn characters that give the game a surreal feel you need to experience for yourself.

I Hate This Place has good ideas, but its execution misses the mark. A lacklustre story, not enough horror, and disjointed mechanics likely won’t appeal to survival horror fans.

Cairn is just really nice to play, with an emotionally gripping story and beautiful sights. You will struggle and get frustrated, but you will overcome whatever is in your way.

Don’t Stop, Girlypop! was unfortunately a miss for me, but it shows clear potential that some post-launch care could help it reach.

Steel Century Groove has fun mech dance battles, but the story and non-battle sections leave a lot to be desired and feel fairly bland.

Core Keeper is a labour of love that continues to improve with each update, with Void & Voltage adding more for new and old players alike.

Streetdog BMX is just a polished arcade-style BMX game that will teach and challenge you in every aspect. Although the controls may take getting used to, you’ll find an incredibly fun game here.

There’s nothing wrong with Kinsfolk, and the visuals and story are worth experiencing, but it’s brief, and there’s no reason to come back once you’re done.

Slick gameplay, stylish visuals and an interesting narrative with a timeless underlying theme of cooperation, respect, and understanding of each other’s points of view.

While Cozyrama is perfect for die-hard decorators, those looking for a cosy time may find that this game feels more like art software than a game. If you want to create dioramas, great, but if you want an immersive experience, you may be left wanting more.
