Buddy Simulator is an innovative indie adventure set in an RPG world with some clever meta moments. It could use some quality-of-life improvements and bug squashing, but still hits the mark from start to finish.

A great rally game, with an abundance of content from the last few games under Kylotonn’s licensed WRC umbrella, but may adversely suffer from being very similar in presentation to previous entries, however the sheer amount of content available should quell any of those concerns.

God of War: Ragnarok is a fantastic title, building from its predecessor's already phenomenal combat, though the story wasn't everything that I hoped it would be.

Sonic Frontiers is a unique addition to the franchise that is really different compared to any of the Sonic titles before it. The game looks and sounds great, but has a couple areas that felt a little rough like the combat and controls in the Cyber Space challenges.

An intriguing little game with a great setting and aesthetic, well worth experiencing blind.

Riley & Rochelle combines ‘90s celebrity culture with a detective-style game that’s impossible not to appreciate.

Tanuki Sunset is a vibrant, arcade-style longboarding game that has you playing as an extreme raccoon with a love of speed. It's a simple game that takes practise to master, but sure to get your heart pounding as you fly down winding roads!

Bravery and Greed is a retro-looking roguelite title with great solo and multiplayer modes to check out with friends. Each run will be different, with different choices that will totally alter the focus of your run; this game is challenging but very rewarding.

Though Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord provides a fun outlet with its battles and the strategies you can employ within them, everything else is lacking in comparison. You might get a solid 5-10 hours of enjoyment out of the campaign before you it dawns on you that there’s not much else to discover but a disappointing realisation.

Aquarist on the Nintendo Switch is a pleasant and relaxing aquarium simulator with clunky controls, bad visuals, and an overall lack of story context. If you’re in the mood for something like it, I recommend being very cautious or just playing the PC version instead.

Robo Legend is an RPG mixed with a twin-stick shooter that has you choosing if you want to be the hero of the story or the villain. With multiple endings, it's nice to see a game where your choices make a difference!

While the single-player offering is a little muddled and often confused regarding what exactly it wants to portray; the multiplayer is otherwise a straightforward and enjoyable experience, even if it's currently riddled with minor connectivity issues.

Chaos;Child was a bit of a disappointment for me. I enjoyed its improvements, but the previous game did things in a more interesting way, as it was all new to me. So having problems reappear while new ones came to light didn’t convince me that this was a worthwhile sequel.

Short enough to warrant multiple playthroughs, although some of the storylines aren’t quite as well-written as others, Unknown Number is an interesting title that will have puzzle fans jotting down notes and shouting into their PCs to solve some real headscratchers!

The Last Oricru can be terrible in some parts, but when it's good, it's delightful — though, I can't recommend it outside of its co-op elements, and I'd avoid it as a single-player title overall.

A few changes here and there improve Football Manager 2023 much more than I’d anticipated. It’s still the same deeply engrossing sim that you know and love, but with a few extra bells and whistles to keep the fans happy.

The team behind Chaos;Head Noah, did a fine job doing what they set out to do, but confusing choices surrounding their game’s interactivity and accessibility features aren’t enough to save its gorgeous animation or strong plot and characters.

Overhaul is a unique Sudoku-like puzzle experience mixed with roguelite elements that I thoroughly enjoyed; this is a must-try title if the number-based mechanic doesn't deter you.

Ghost Song is the perfect mix of Metroid and Hollow Knight, creating a gorgeous-looking game full of exploration, a great story, and a creepy atmosphere. If you like Metroidvania-style games, make sure you check out this title!

In Retrospect is a short and challenging endless runner that makes you think about your life and the things that are important to you. It's a bit tricky to collect only the tokens you want to focus on, so it may take multiple playthroughs to get the desired result.

After 12 long years, Trails from Zero is a classic RPG that was worth the wait. Fantastic characters, world building, and fun combat create another game in the franchise that will appeal to long time fans and newcomers alike.

Trifox is an interesting mix of a 3D platformer and twin-stick shooters with a unique skill tree system that allows you to make your own loadouts. The pacing felt slow, and there isn't much of a story here.

Lovecraft's Untold Stories 2 has a bumpy start, but once you've surpassed that hiccup, it becomes a very decent game; you'll just have to endure an hour or two of learning things.

Terror of Hemasaurus is a beautiful and entertaining game with tons of satisfying destruction and chaos. It also tries to teach a very important message about climate change and how the human race has to act before it is too late.

I can confidently recommend SIGNALIS for its puzzle element, but its combat, inventory, and sound design manage to bog it down to a merely okay title.

Devil May Cry 5, while seemingly shallow on the surface, conceals its greatest features and true experience for only the dedicated to discover. The satisfaction of finally overcoming a block in the game that held you back for so long is where the real experience lies, and the game demands that you not be weak of heart to reach it. Put in the time and effort that the developers expect of their fans and you’ll truly be able to reap the rewards and see DMC5 for what it is; a truly off the wall, batshit insane romp through the best the genre has to offer.

A staggering amount of content makes Pathfinder: Wrath Of The Righteous an easy choice to recommend for those who have a lot of time to invest. An interesting narrative and player choices that define the outcome, this is a tale that is well worth experiencing.

If you’d like a chance to lead millions and create a nation to rival all others, then this is the game for you. Just be careful what you wish for. The role of a leader can be fickle and overwhelming at times.
