Your Future Self’s approach to storytelling is unique, but it manages to be a bit too cryptic for its own good. Those who go with the flow will appreciate its avant garde nature, but those looking for something a bit more coherent might be left out in the cold.

Those with the gambler’s spirit will enjoy raking in the dough with PEGGO!’s pachinko action, but this cathartic experience is a bit repetitive. It’s great for fans of multiplier frenzies, but less so for those looking for something a bit meatier.

Hexanome is a minimalistic puzzler that skews on the side of obtuse. Throwing players to the wolves without much direction is a bold move, one that will make or break this game for a number of people.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker Definitive Edition is a good game marred by technical problems on the PlayStation 4. As it stands, it is difficult to recommend to anyone in its current state.

Muse Dash has solid rhythm mechanics buried beneath a serious grind. Those that don’t mind a bit of repetition will enjoy their time, but get ready to pay your dues if you’re looking to see everything.

Those that can look past Montaro RE’s somewhat tasteless scoring mechanic will enjoy an endless runner that doesn’t skimp on the challenge.

The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game is certainly a unique title, but its quirky humor will only appeal to a select few. Fans of adventure titles best approach this fetch quest with caution.

Hot Pink is an interesting take on the brick breaking formula, but the changes made are somewhat questionable. Those looking for something new in the space might get a kick out of its procedurally generated levels, but most will likely go back to Breakout or Arkanoid for their fix.

FAIRY TAIL: Beach Volleyball Havoc lives up to its title with plenty of havoc, but this fanservice-laden sports title isn’t quite an ace. Fans of the time-tested series will appreciate its chaos, but don’t expect to spend too much time on its shimmering sands.

Skyrift’s defensive style of play provides fast-paced arcade action, albeit with a few quirks. It’s not the deepest game around, but those looking for a different kind of bullet hell could do far worse than this title.

The brick breaking mechanics of Highscore Processing Unit take some getting used to, but the robust leaderboard support and score-based gameplay will appeal to those looking to rise the ranks.

Golf Peaks’ card-based mechanics lead to some interesting puzzles, but the package is a little on the light side. There is a solid golf game to be found here, but it is over before it even begins.

If you can see past the casually designed mechanics and truly immerse yourself in the environment and narrative aspects of We Happy Few, there’s plenty to see here. Unfortunately for those probing a more wholesome experience, We Happy Few falls short.

Toaster Jam is a fun diversion, but it lacks the depth and content needed to keep players coming back. Flying around breakfast-themed environments can be fun, but this may have been better suited as an arcade or mobile title.

Sonic Origins is a raw deal, providing little content with questionable edits. The widescreen support, drop dash, and Mission Mode are welcome additions, but they all come at a (steep) price.

Sisters Royale: Five Sisters Under Fire is a solid shmup, albeit one that plays things a little too safe. The power shot mechanic has merit, but the inclusion of summons makes the overall package far too easy.

Blask, though a bit on the light side, provides enough challenging puzzles for players to work their grey matter. Those who don’t mind digging around for the right solution will enjoy playing with these beams of light.

Antirocketh’s accessible nature makes it easy to jump in for a quick session. Don’t expect a high skill ceiling or a number of bells and whistles – its brass tacks approach to blasting makes it best suited for bite-sized playthroughs.

Those invested in the Cthulhu mythos might be interested in the tale found in The Sinking City, but most others should wait until the game is patched.

Conan Unconquered is an often fun and always brutal experience that will keep you returning for beatings time after time, if you can excuse the already questionable paywall content, economic issues, and lack of game mode variety.

Up Left Out has got an interesting proof of concept, but the spartan stylings and lack of content hurt its long term replayability. This is a simple game, one that is good for a single playthrough and nothing more.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! has rock-solid drumming mechanics and a fair difficulty curve, but the amount of DLC available at launch is a little extreme. Buyer beware – this is one game that will cost completionists a pretty penny.

Cruis’n Blast focuses on style over substance, making the end result feel a bit hollow. Navigating a careening ferris wheel is the stuff action movies are made of, but there’s just not enough content here to justify picking up this home release over sinking a few bucks into the arcade version.

Radiant One’s concept of dreams is an interesting one, but it is just not fleshed out enough. This is one title that is more of a snack than a full-fledged release, making it a hard sell for those looking for an immersive tale.

Metro Exodus has the potential to be a solid game, but it just isn’t there in its current state. Those on the fence best wait for a few patches before picking this one up.

Controlling Parallel Shift’s protagonist duo at the same time sounds like an interesting concept, but the execution ends up feeling like an awkward affair. When paired with its bog standard retrowave aesthetics, the end result feels like something players have seen before.

Rekt: Crash Test will appeal to score chasers, but the lack of content in this teaser means that it’s over before it even begins. It could use a kick of speed, but what is present now is serviceable enough for those looking for arcade-like thrills.

Slackers – Carts of Glory is made up of the concepts of a plan, featuring an interesting idea and stretching it a bit too thin for a full release. The end result feels like a fun minigame, something that is good for a lazy afternoon rather than a skill-based addiction.

Watch Dogs: Legion is more of the same, albeit with more technical problems. Even the most diehard of Watch Dogs fans should wait for a patch or two before jumping in.

Nyaa-kuza!! is a solid game paired with a mediocre one. Those with a penchant for puns will love diving into its visual novel segments, but the lack of polish in its action sequences drags the whole experience down.

A destruction derby made out of cardboard miniatures sounds makes for a sound concept, but the lack of options and poor AI suck away a lot of its potential.

Attack on Titan 2 Final Battle is a tough title to recommend to anyone. It runs poorly, the new targeting system doesn’t work as it should, and the new modes simply aren’t worth the investment. If you still want to give it a shot despite all of this, do yourself a favor and avoid the Switch version.

Super Inefficient Golf lives as dies by its mine gimmick, but it is still a fun gimmick nonetheless. Those looking for a way to spice up their golf game can do far worse than this title, but don’t be surprised if it takes a while to get the hang of it.

Virtual Cottage has got the lo-fi beats and the atmosphere, but the song selection and number of options is somewhat lacking. Those that don’t mind tunes on repeat will dig its tracks, but it just doesn’t have the same impact as the infamous YouTube live stream.

Grabity is a casual party game that largely succeeds at what it tries to do. It’s not the deepest or unique title around, but those looking for a new game for their group can do far worse.

The world of Super Totally Ultimate Dad Showdown is a mixed bag. Some of the minigames are far better than others, but all those that bring some friends along can have some fun with this free-to-play title.

Superstorm Melon Date’s dystopian world tries to be original with its bizarre premise, but this visual novel follows the standard tropes of the genre a bit too closely to make a splash.

Tempest 4000’s time-tested gameplay still rings true, but some of the visual and design elements in this release add some unintended challenge. For what is ultimately an updated quarter-muncher, it has a steep price, but those looking to relive the past in 4K could do far worse than this title.

20XX’s physics are almost a perfect recreation of a certain blue bomber, but the roguelike elements don’t always work as they should. The procedurally generated levels don’t have the same spark as Capcom’s offerings, and its permadeath is an acquired taste.

Shining Resonance Refrain displays all the qualities one would expect in a JRPG game, albeit in a dated and unimaginative fashion. Fans of the genre will find plenty to sing about, but for those not sold on Japan’s ideals of an RPG, there’s little more here than a solid story and some good dungeon grinding.

Yars: Recharged has all of the underpinnings of a successful score chaser, but the premise just isn’t taken far enough to stand out in this day and age.

Pyro Fighters channels the spirit of the 8-bit platformers that took the Nintendo Entertainment System by storm, but the brutal difficulty and rampant bugs makes the challenge more frustrating than fair.

Hole in the Clouds is a golf game in the very loosest sense of the word, but this puzzle-platformer fails to have a personality of its own.

Void Prison is good for short bursts of play, but there’s simply not enough meat on the bone. It doesn’t do too much to stand out, and while it does have a solid foundation, it does not have too much more beyond that.

Bacon May Die plays it safe, featuring combo-heavy action that has a low skill ceiling. While it can be a fun way to get out some pent up aggression, this little piggy just isn’t king of the hill.

Comet Crasher is a simple game with a solid enough pick-up-and-play mechanic. Repetition can quickly set in, but this is one title that knows exactly what it is, for better or worse.

MissileDancer changes up the shmup formula just enough to stand out. It’s lack of difficulty and short length hinder its replayability, but those looking for something new could do far worse than this title.

BATSUGUN Saturn Tribute Boosted has detailed spritework and a novel leveling system, but there’s not enough in this 90s throwback to justify the steep price tag.

Venture Kid is a solid enough tribute to Mega Man, but it could have used a bit more polish to really stand out. It’s not a bad game, but rather an uninspired one.

Buck Up and Drive! is a vanity racer that focuses more on spectacle than depth. While we appreciate the nature of a car that can grind rails, there are a number of questionable design choices that cheapen the experience.

G.O.D.S. is an interesting proof of concept that could have used more content. Though there is not a ton of variety, the sheer amount of chaos and unpredictability of its hockey mode is worth a go for those jonesing for a unique multiplayer title.

Vampyr is a collection of wonderful ideas held back by a limited budget and a dated engine.

BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle has got the fanservice down, but it feels more like a tribute to Arc System Works’ other games than its own unique beast. Its simplified fighting game mechanics, along with its reused assets, makes it only worth it for the most diehard of fans.

The arcade action of Centipede: Recharged is inoffensive, but there simply isn’t enough content here to justify its price tag. Even the most devout score chaser will likely get bored with this title’s lack of variety, and its bland aesthetics seal its fate.

Warlords of New York can only be recommended to the most diehard of Division fans. Constant bugs, exhausting combat, and a weak main villain leaves much to be desired.

I have absolutely no doubt that 18-24 months from now Blood Bowl 3 is going to be the game the community has dreamed of for so long. However, as it stands today, it’s the game we all hoped it wouldn’t be.

The concept of meme icons fighting one another will no doubt turn some heads, but this joke is just not taken far enough. The engine powering this bout for the ages is simply not built for the task, hampering its appeal.

The horror stylings found in Haunted Gas Station are strictly by the books. It does not do anything horribly wrong, but players will know what to expect from this title with a mere glance of the Steam page.

For a game based on a snack mix, Chex Quest HD is truly one of a kind. However, as a FPS, it lacks the polish needed to be anything more than a Doom clone with some silly trappings.

Hellpoint might have been a decent Souls clone if it didn’t suffer from so many technical problems. A few more months in the oven would have done it wonders, but it is an easy skip in its current state.

Despite having four years of updates behind it, Street Fighter V: Champion Edition is far from the definitive version of the game. Though the core fighting engine powering this title is sound, its poor netcode and lack of polish stick out like a sore thumb.

Track and field titles were designed as casual button mashers at their core, and World CHAMPIONS: Decathlon doesn’t do much to shake things up. The lack of personality and depth prevent this competitor from ever taking on the Track & Field champ.

Retrowave’s got the looks and the sounds that make the outrun aesthetic so great, but the gameplay manages to be a little too one-note for its own good.

Space Digger turns the Asteroids concept on its head, but some of the changes made are questionable. It’s not a bad game, but it changes the formula in a way some might not agree with.

Ultimately, Journey to the Savage Planet is a little less savage and a little more tame. What it does, it does quite well; it's just a shame it doesn't do very much. A decent title for those that get excited at the thought of exploration, but an otherwise unremarkable experience.

Watch Me Jump has got an interesting story, but it may be better suited as a stage play than a video game. Its brief length and rough presentation both hold the game back, which is unfortunate with a tale as solid as this one.

A very basic shooter. While the single player campaign felt lacking throughout, the rewarding progressive components added to the multiplayer aspect of the game delivers a worthwhile experience – if you have Brothers willing to follow you into battle.

Acceptance covers some serious topics, but its combat makes it feel more like a shallow game than something with a deeper message. Everything is a bit heavy handed, and as a result feels a bit more surface level than anything else.

Battle Ram has got an interesting arena-based setup, but it is just not taken far enough. With a lack of scoring, modes, or even variety, this feels more like a proof of concept than a full-fledged game.

Double Turn might pay tribute to the wild and wonderful world of wrestling, but the end result is something not worth tuning into. Those hoping for the next WrestleMania will be sorely disappointed in this one.

GUIDE conveys the feeling of anxiety quite well, but it does so at the expense of gameplay. Those looking for a new take on this feeling may appreciate this title, but note that it comes with a dose of frustration as well.

Robot Daycare lacks any sort of focus, trying to tell two different tales at the same time. While the idea of a robot AI companion is a novel one, the execution here is far too disjointed to make it stand out.

WWE 2K19 struggles to meet expectations. It’s a mid-card talent with potential, but is too set in its ways to leave any lasting impact.

Lost Connections has a powerful message about overcoming social anxiety, but there just isn’t enough substance to really drive its messaging home. As a result, this visual novel fails to make a lasting connection.

The Pizza Delivery Boy Who Saved the World lays on the cheese thick, but its humor often misses the mark. The actors and actresses behind Doug’s adventure no doubt had fun making this visual novel, but the end result feels more like an in-joke than a laugh riot.

Only the most die-hard fans of the Mana series should consider picking up Trials of Mana. While the remake may be faithful to the original, it doesn’t make for a good game or a good time.

When the Past Was Around – Prologue might be a demo of things to come, but its obtuse story and busywork gameplay fail to establish a foundation for the full game.

Big Dipper’s tale of romance and the holidays has merit, but the game could have used a good copy editor. In its current state, this visual novel is a bit too by-the-books to suggest for those looking for a good story.

Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires does not give us faith that the series can be saved. Put simply, it might be best to put this series out to pasture and focus on other Warriors entries.

Karate Cat is simplistic by design, but this also takes away from the overall package. Its incredibly cheap price point reflects this, but it does not offer enough to encourage players to pursue it for the long term.

The bite-sized action of skelets is good for a brief visit, but the lack of variety kills its chances for any sort of long term appeal. Skeletons with shotguns is the stuff dreams are made of, but the end product is far less interesting.

Super Rebellion is the dry white toast of the shoot-em-up world. The bullets and space motif are present and accounted for, but there is absolutely nothing here that differentiates it from the countless other shmups on the market today.

Diehard otaku might enjoy the kawaii antics of NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD: Typing of The Net, but everybody else should press F to pay respects to this clumsy multi-genre title.

Mercury Race’s combo of combat and racing feels like walking and chewing gum at the same time. These two concepts simply do not gel, leading to a disjointed experience when all is said and done.

Indecision. is one of those titles that is unique for the sake of being unique. Players may not have seen what it has to offer before in other titles, but its cryptic gameplay ultimately takes away from the title when all is said and done.

Outward may show a ton of promise, but it is pretty rough in its current state. Those interested should check back after a couple of patches.

Red Bow proves to be more of an incoherent dream than a lucid one. The cryptic puzzles and lack of focus manage to sully the overall presentation, making it a tough playthrough for even the most diehard of horror fans.

Describing a game as abstract and surreal might make it seem like it is cutting edge, but A Long Time and its inoffensive world plays things far too safe. While it doesn’t waste the players time, it also feels like there should be more to it.

Sonar Beat tries something new with the rhythm game genre, but the small tracklist and spartan stylings do not leave a lasting impression. When paired with its somewhat buggy nature, you have yourself a project that could have used more time in development.

SnOut’s combination of Breakout and Snake is great in theory, but the execution leaves something to be desired. There just isn’t enough real estate to move around, and the awkward layout means that runs will be over sooner rather than later.

Stranded Sails: Explorers of the Cursed Islands is a solid entry into the farming and exploration space, and a perfect entry level title for younger gamers or those new to the genre. Its simplicity helps it stand out in the crowd, but not always for the best reasons.

Neodori Forever might look the part, but the stiff driving quickly gives away the fact that this racer is a poser. Those pining for days gone by best stick with the tried and true.

Pathologic 2 is a game that will appeal to a very particular type of player, and be despised by everyone else. Those on the fence should scope out the game on either YouTube or Twitch to know what you are getting into.

While Man of Medan has a decent horror story, a number of technical problems and inconsistencies derail the experience. It's best to wait for a patch or two before purchasing.

The pint-sized action of Moto Roader MC is too small for its own good. The almighty Micro Machines have cornered the market on pint-sized thrills, and this single screen racer doesn’t do enough to dethrone the king.

Land of Screens is far too one-note for its own good, repeatedly hammering the message that screens are pure evil. Its heart is in the right place, but its execution leaves something to be desired.
