While it is quite repetitive in nature and with little to no challenge, we can't overlook the fact that this game was created for very young gamers. In this regard Paw Patrol: On A Roll! is almost perfectly crafted.

Probably one of those remasters that no one asked for, but nevertheless OSome studios deserves some kudos for delivering XXL 2 with considerably refined visuals. It’s a game, though, that is mostly aimed to those players with fond memories of playing in their PS2. Even then nostalgia and the abundance of humorous references could get those players so far before repetition kicks in.

You can’t really say that Soap Dodgem is a bad game, but its lack of ambition for something bigger makes it bend more to the “killing time” category rather than "play for fun".

Pro Basketball 2019 is a game that delivers a great management system, where your actions have consequences, and with a "Historical mode" that will certainly please the hardcore fans of the sport. Too bad that there is no kind of a 3D match mode and the available championships are too few.

Even though Arc Savior has enjoyable ship handling and overall good gameplay its potential is crippled by dated graphics, awful A.I. and intense repetition in the mission structure.

Legendary eleven is a love letter to the pure fun of the 80s and 90s arcade sports games. There is, of course, room for many improvements, but in any case Legendary Eleven is brilliant in its simplicity, fun and extremely addictive.

Probably one of the worst movie tie-ins that has come out in recent years.

Even though it contains an interesting and well designed area with new enemies and a few collectibles, The Kraken Expansion for the Surge 2 is super short and feels more like a deleted mission from the original game than an expansion.

The first chapter in CAT-astrophe Games' strange metaphysic endeavor is wacky, well crafted, and with interesting characters. A promising - albeit too short - start.

Lost Brothers tries to emulate the feel and look of Firewatch, but ultimately fails miserably on almost everything it does.

Star Souls is a 2D sci-fi strategy game that has a mediocre story, problematic dialogues with content not suitable for all ages, and gameplay issues that make it more difficult than it should be. All in all, it is hard to recommend it for fans of the genre in its current state.

Based on the Disney TV show by the same name, Gigantosaurus The Game is an action platforming game (with a bit of racing) that is perfectly fitted for very young gamers.

A unique puzzle/platformer with lots of clever puzzles that will keep you occupied for a few hours inside a surreal and beautiful world.

Since Landflix Odyssey picks its setting from TV series, we can easily say that if it was a show, it would definitely be a variety show, based on its rich and colorful new ideas that change with every new level. It does only one thing wrong, but sadly, its the most important thing.

60 Seconds! Reatomized can be a funny and enjoyable experience, but only for a few hours due to its dull gameplay and repetitiveness.

The creators’ love for their creation oozes from each nook and cranny of this Dino adventure. It is not without its faults and issues, but its childhood charm and Sunday morning 80s/ 90s cartoon vibe more than make up for it, giving a rare, kind game for all the family to enjoy.

The excitement for 60 Parsecs! doesn’t come from the game's greatness, cause we clearly talk about a small scale game, but from how spot-on the improvements are from the original title.

A lovingly made remaster of one of the greatest first person adventure games of all time.

More of a videography experiment for an art exhibition rather than an indie release on Steam, Mango is a strange and curious "fruit"" that definitely deserves a bite from those willing to explore and experience something different and unique.

A cute, paranoid and short horizontal shoot 'em up with heavy Gradius influences that offers a solid retro experience, but brings nothing new to the genre.

Even though this tied to the Spirit movie franchise game is basic and repetitive at times, it is however ideal for "family friendly" gaming and quite suitable for younger gamers.

Outright Games has evolved into some kind of an expert when it comes to licensed, kids games. This is apparent in The Last Kids on Earth and the Staff of Doom, a decent dungeon crawler, suitable for all the family, that has its share of shortcomings of course, but is fun nonetheless.

A mysterious fruit of a game, Nemezis is certainly an interesting experience as a mechanical puzzle game, despite its poor voice acting and average writing. The fact that it pivots more towards strictly mechanical/ brute force puzzles than its predecessors might put off fans of the series, but it can attract fans of that type of puzzles with equal ease.

PJ Masks: Heroes of the Night is the ideal choice for very small ages and kids that play for their first time. Despite the simplicity that helps this ages though, you can’t ignore that it is extremely repeatable from start to finish.

Created mostly for young gamers who are keen on the Netflix series, Fast & Furious: Spy Racers - Rise of Sh1ft3r is a fun, arcade racing game that will appeal to everyone who enjoyed games like Mario Kart and Blur.

In an adventure that narrates an interesting story, supported by a brilliant and well-developed cast of characters, players will eventually bring peace upon the universe, but only after overcoming a series of serious bugs and some inconsistencies that push back a rather formidable title. Still, a must-see for aspiring space fighters and genre fans.

A decent but flawed experience that nevertheless shows the potential that the indie team behind it has for future projects.

With its accessible gameplay and the official use of characters from the TV series, this is the ideal racing game for very young gamers.

With the Endwalker expansion Final Fantasy XIV becomes an even more "Final Fantasy"game with its world building, super writing and great characters. At the same time it expands its foundation as an MMO thus becoming a superb game that probably has no equal at this moment in time.

A Lovecraft-inspired visual novel with a few rogue-lite and heavy resource management elements that have a detrimental effect on the narrative and the general atmosphere.

Heaven Dust 2 is an ode to the first Resident Evil through an isometric perspective, nothing more, nothing less. And that’s all the charm it needs to have to be an absolutely fun 6-8 hours ride.

Although the idea behind In My Shadow is an intriguing one and the messages that it tries to convey to the players are important, it lacks in the delivery of said messages as well as in its overall technical and aesthetic departments.

An artistic approach to the famous book with gorgeous graphics that resemble oil paintings, beautiful music, good narrative with multiple endings, but very simple and limited gameplay.

Milky Way Prince: The Vampire Star portrays the problems of a relationship with strong visuals and excellent musical features. However, it ignores what really makes a visual novel stand out.

Ruggnar brought us back to the era of Amiga and Amstrad, with a game that would sit nicely alongside Rick Dangerous, albeit providing a much easier experience. Be that as it may it seems as if it’s a shareware version of a full version game which, alas, doesn’t exist.

The well-made shooting part of Esse Proxy could have led to a memorable top-down shooter, in the vein of Hotline Miami, if it had better level design, if the story made any sense at all and if its overall design had anything memorable at all. These are a lot of "ifs" though to let this game stand out.

The hours it offers are few, but they can hold some interest initially, which in turn quickly fades. On the other hand, if you're looking for a light “timekiller” for your Switch on your vacation this summer, Treehouse Riddle might just be what you need.

My friend Peppa Pig is an excellent chance for the very young kids to enjoy the world of their favorite show, but after the initial excitement, the troubled, lazy and absurd design leads to a repeatable and a little annoying game, even for that age.

Αn interesting horror visual novel with mature themes, lots of choices and multiple endings. The characters are fleshed out, but the zombie apocalypse story has been used to death in the past and the game would benefit from voice overs which it doesn't have. Some problems with the controls when you come up with choices could also be easily averted.

Afterdream may be quite short adventure game but a quality one nonetheless. It's definitely a work of passion delivering a well written story, nice aesthetics and satisfying puzzles.

Beyond the cracks of mediocrity someone might be able to spot a glimpse of the developer's vision in No Son of Mine. Alas, this only exaggerates the fact that this indie horror ends up being really mediocre and derivative.

Operation Wolf Returns is a fun blast from the past, at least for the short time it lasts. With replayability being next to non existent it's difficult to recommend it, in its full-price tag, to anyone other than highly nostalgic gamers fond of their arcade memories.

A Perfect Day presents a bittersweet story, ground to reality and in a position to create some truly heart-warming feelings. Unfortunately, many of the secondary characters are devoid of any personality while also some quality of life shortcomings, relating to the simplistic gameplay, drags the whole experience down a bit.

Phantom Rose 2 presents itself with some unique visuals, but it could prove a bit difficult to convince fans of card-based games that it offers anything unique in the genre.

This new adventure of Asterix & Obelix benefits quite a lot from the charming visuals, staying faithful to the original material. It could be enjoyable in its short amount of time it takes to reach the end credits, but at the same time, it lacks the depth and challenge of other recent and better games of the genre.

While Tiger Blade shows promise of becoming a truly good speedrunning arcade VR game (after some major patches), it currently suffers from significant character character handling issues that hamper the overall experience.

Epic Party Quest is definitely fun game for all ages, in a similar vein to Mario Party, though it has a certain JRPG aesthetic which helps it to differentiate. Be that as it may, it could benefit for a bit more variety in its mini games collection.

Tales from Candleforth is a, quite good, throwback to Myst, with charming visuals and well constructed puzzles, offering high challenge. However, it could benefit from a more concise story.

Anglerfish excels in its dark aesthetic and humour, delivering a challenging yet fair experience. While it may be a bit on the short side, the game offers a memorable and twisted roguelike adventure within those few hours.

OVRDARK delivers a functional horror experience that can scare players, while also adequately drawing inspiration from Resident Evil 7. However, its weak voice acting, subpar sound design, and short length detract from the overall experience.

It's quite difficult to find even the smallest positive aspect in The Smurfs: Village Party. The game suffers from poor design across the board, from its dated visuals to the boring mini-games and the uninspired fetch-type quests.

More of an audiobook than video game, Dagon: Complete Edition is a fitting tribute to Lovecraft's work. The experience is elevated by excellent narration and quality prose, immersing players in an atmospheric journey.

While Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings technical improvements, its visuals feel somewhat derivative. The writing remains impactful, and the characters are well-developed, but the story struggles to match the emotional depth and resonance of the original game.

Carpathian Night is a heartfelt homage to the original Castlevania games, offering a nostalgic 8-bit experience. While Bela Lugosi's inclusion feels more like a marketing gimmick than a meaningful addition, the game is well-crafted and sure to delight fans of retro platformers, particularly those who hold fond memories of Castlevania on the NES.

The Inheritance of Crimson Manor may be brief, but it still offers enough clever puzzles and a great atmosphere to make it worthwhile.

Recall suffers from some mediocre dialogue but remains captivating, thanks to its Twin Peaks aesthetic and well-presented subject matter.

The House of Da Vinci VR is a great adaptation of the original game, where the VR element elevates the entire experience. Fans of puzzle games and VR won’t want to miss it.

Hook: Complete Edition features some intriguing and challenging puzzles, but repetition and limited content quickly set in. Its minimalist visual style, initially appealing, soon grows tiresome.

DECADE attempts to deliver an old-school point-and-click adventure, but stumbles in several key areas. Its clunky UI turns gameplay into a chore, and the unappealing visuals detract from what could have been an interesting story.

Unfortunately, Ghost Frequency is a thoroughly underwhelming horror experience. With a paper-thin plot, minimal gameplay, and a runtime of barely an hour, it feels more like a tech demo than a fully realized game.

Through the Nightmares will certainly challenge even the most hardcore platforming fans, and thankfully, its tight gameplay is up to the task. It also offers plenty of collectibles that support replayability, all wrapped in a unique and moody dark aesthetic. It's far from a casual experience, with some noticeable difficulty spikes, but fans of tough platformers will feel right at home.

Carrier Deck is a welcome addition to the niche "simulators" genre, offering a unique opportunity to manage a military carrier. It's fast-paced and features a clean, simple UI that makes it easy for newcomers to grasp its managerial tasks. However, it could benefit from a broader variety of mechanics, tools, and missions to enhance long-term engagement.

An excellent port of Stellar Blade, bringing this great action title to PC players with impressive quality. The inclusion of the Goddess of Victory: NIKKE DLC is a welcome bonus, making this the definitive way to experience the full package.

Without outstaying its welcome, Kvark may be simplistic in its gameplay, but it retains a certain indie charm. It’s an amalgamation of FPS classics (Doom, System Shock 2, and Half-Life) and while it never aims to reach their heights, it still delivers a pleasantly nostalgic experience.

It may be a step forward for the series, but this latest entry still carries significant drawbacks. Its strongest asset is its strange, atmospheric tone but that alone can't alleviate the overly simplistic puzzles or the utterly disjointed story.

Stunt Flyer is a short arcade shoot-'em-up with dated visuals, repetitive gameplay, and little to make it stand out in the genre. Still, in its simplicity, it might offer a few hours of light fun, though the experience is likely to be forgotten just as quickly.

The beautifully drawn world of Vasilisa and Baba Yaga is enchanting, but it can't disguise the overly simplistic and repetitive gameplay. Ultimately, it's a visually interesting yet forgettable experience.

Missing Bangan is an adequate addition to this obscure game series, with charming visuals and clever level design. However, its short length and simplistic gameplay prevent it from standing out in a crowded genre.

This remaster is only a marginal improvement over the original. Its audiovisuals have certainly been upgraded, but the main issues, forgettable level design and subpar gameplay, remain, reminding us that the original Castle of Heart was ultimately a derivative platformer.

Silly Polly Beast definitely has its rough edges, but it’s hard to deny the passion behind it. The fact that it was created by a solo developer is admirable in itself, especially given its pretty aesthetics and the creative use of multiple camera perspectives to present the action. With a more balanced difficulty and a more coherent story, it could truly be a diamond in the rough.

Truck Driving does the bare minimum to even be considered a game.

The Order of the Snake Scale tries to capture the spirit of classic survival horror, but in doing so its real "achievement" is to remind us that even the best of those games came with serious caveats, ones that later evolutions of the genre left behind. It has a nice atmosphere in places and a decent plot, but it's ultimately weighed down by outdated gameplay and visuals that feel less nostalgic than simply subpar.

Switch owners can now see firsthand what can only be described as the ultimate ode to Dragon Ball. While the 30 FPS performance is noticeable, it doesn’t hinder the game’s easy-to-learn, hard-to-master fighting system or the richness of its content.

Dollmare is effective in its horror atmosphere, with its short duration working in its favour by keeping the simplistic, repetitive arcade gameplay fun. The factory setting also benefits from the brief length, retaining its effectiveness as the game ends before it becomes tiring.

Ultimate Zombie Defense is at least honest about its B-movie philosophy, offering simple gameplay that can hook you for several mindless gaming hours. Decimating hordes of zombies is certainly fun, but the limited content, highly derivative visuals, and lack of depth prevent it from rising above a guilty pleasure.

A-RED Walking Robot is charming and quite unique, putting players in the role of a small mechanical toy robot. Its well thought out level design, using everyday environmental objects and rooms, gives the game a much needed personality. However, its frequent reliance on trial and error leads to unfair situations that more often than not become frustrating.

Ebola Village feels like an amateurish imitation of Resident Evil Village, offering nothing to set it apart.

Our Adventure Guild doesn’t attempt to reinvent the tactical RPG genre and struggles with repetition in both its quest design and recruitable characters. That said, it could still serve as a welcoming entry point for newcomers to the genre.

This new Speedball entry successfully captures the essence of the classic sports titles by the Bitmap Brothers, certainly no small feat. Its controls could stand to be simpler, as the game overcomplicates its handling in ways that feel unnecessary. Likewise, its visuals lean a bit too heavily into trends set by other popular online games. In the end, however, it remains a faithful modernization of the core Speedball experience.

The only positive thing that can be said about this cheap Dark Souls imitation is that it actually starts when you press the button.

Everdark is an honest indie addition to the horror genre. While it doesn’t compete with big-budget productions, it delivers a brutal, nostalgic experience through well-crafted gameplay and effectively implemented survival horror elements. It’s on the shorter side and has some technical issues, but overall, fans of the genre will appreciate what it offers.

Vampire Therapist presents itself as a beautifully written visual novel, making excellent use of its psychoanalysis theme in a way that feels perfectly in sync with its fantasy characters. The voice cast delivers their performances with professionalism and charm, bringing a host of memorable characters to life. Together, they guide players through a wide range of life issues, each explored through uniquely imaginative perspectives.
