Disney Illusion Island Starring Mickey and Friends is a fun, whimsical journey across Monoth that handles metroidvania surprisingly well. It’s an easy recommendation, even if you’re not a fan of Disney yourself.

Tall Trails is a cute and chill golem-filled exploration game that doesn’t hold back on freedom and fun. Its intuitive platforming controls and replayability make it easy to recommend.

Altheia: The Wrath of Aferi is a good game in spite of its issues. If you’re interested, give it some time. You’ll find a fun adventure at the end. If you don’t, be ready for some jank.

Remembering Emily purports to be a mystery exploring trauma, but in truth, is an odd mixture of missing content warnings, similar characters, and a disappointing end.

Hell is Us is a game that offers something unique, but that same challenge might turn away a lot of players looking for something with a more streamlined experience.

Fantastic art direction can’t save Cronos: The New Dawn from its boring gameplay, and awkward story.

The Knightling is a wholesome and beautiful action platformer that hearkens back to the PlayStation 2 era. Great humour, amazing movement controls, and fun combat make this a title you won’t want to miss, though there is still room for a few QoL updates and patches.

I do like Fresh Tracks. The gameplay is snappy and intuitive, the voice acting and lore are great, and each track is a serious bop, but I’m not exactly feeling the roguelike nature of the game.

Bad Cheese stands out thanks to its visuals and the world it builds, which is only enhanced by the gameplay. However, a couple of technical issues hold it back from being a perfect experience.

Kitchen Wars’ basic gameplay is subpar and gets boring quickly, as well as being nigh unplayable with an odd number of players.

Bongo Cat is like adopting a hyperactive feline that's more enthusiastic about work than you are. Keeping track of your bongos can be fun, especially when inviting friends, but FOMO events definitely ruins the experience a bit.

EDENS ZERO is an addictive adaptation that will get you hooked on the story, even if you haven’t read it yet. If you look past the fanservice and repetitive combat, you’ll find a real gem of a storyline here.

A beautifully designed title with an engaging narrative, Heading Out is definitely a journey worth experiencing.

Shuten Order is a great-looking game with a compelling story that you can’t wait to finish. I couldn’t wait to solve the mystery behind my character’s death!

Deadzone: Rogue was worth the wait. It has an addictive gameplay loop that will keep you coming back even after you die again and again, and there’s always something new to upgrade or check out with every attempt.

First Racer is an entertaining arcade racing title with a bunch of customisation options and multiple modes like local multiplayer and drifting challenges.

I enjoyed Passant despite my struggles with it. It’s a refreshing challenge for any fan of Balatro and can be just as addicting, but it can be rather daunting to get into if you aren’t actively playing chess on a regular basis.

Space Adventure Cobra — The Awakening is a fun action platforming game that does a great job of recreating the original series that everyone can enjoy.

Story of Season: Grand Bazaar is such a sweet and whimsical game that has you farming, cooking, and running a booth at the bazaar. You will be addicted!

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is a beautiful-looking game that feels like a great addition to the series. It is challenging and full of non-stop ninja action.

A practically flawless remake of an already incredible title, METAL GEAR SOLID Δ should be on your radar.

Luck & Loot is an excellent dice-based adventure through dangerous dungeons, where pressing your luck is handsomely rewarded but painfully punished. Like any gambling addiction, you’ll always be coming back to roll some more.

I enjoyed The RPG, but I won’t be coming back to it. It has some good moments and jokes and I enjoyed the gameplay well enough, but its glitches and game design issues make it a slog to play.

The Dark Queen of Mortholme is a game unlike any other I’ve played. It has a great story and a loop system that kept me coming back until I got to the end.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition is the ideal remaster, but nothing has really changed mechanically, so many of the old issues with balancing still exist.

A wonderfully surreal RPG, with some interesting thematic depth to match.

The Necromancer’s Tale is a promising, well-written RPG with a fleshed-out trust system and rich characters, but simplistic, clunky combat hinders the game a bit.

With a punishing early difficulty and odd controls, Dustwind: Resistance is not for the average gamer, but fans of the genre looking for a challenge could get something out of it.
