Arcanium: Rise of Akhan is a good deck building roguelike, but the complexity and difficulty make it hard to recommend to all but the most hardcore.

Although Session: Skate Sim is a difficult game to get used to, the joy of pulling off tricks far outweighs the frustration. It faithfully recreates skateboarding culture of the 90s, and offers tons of freedom to play however you want.

Shovel Knight Dig is the perfect first roguelike, packed full of that tasty Shovel Knight gameplay we all know and love.

As a straight, old-school stealth experience Serial Cleaners certainly delivers. There's very little fluff or filler, with compact mission areas, clear objectives and little reason to deviate from the plan.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero is a sensational JRPG from top to bottom, and one that fans can’t afford to miss.

Soulstice is a competent brawler with a solid core concept and an interesting world history that remains somewhat under-explored. It borrows ideas from multiple sources, including other character action games and even Japanese anime where the character design is concerned, but the execution is somewhat flat. Soulstice may not always dazzle, but if you’re looking for a decent adventure to kill 10 or 12 hours there are certainly worse options.

The DioField Chronicle is an epic strategy RPG where you're fully engrossed in its story, and throughout every beautifully constructed battle. It features an in-depth battle structure and upgrading system, where you're constantly mixing up strategies on the fly.

Potion Permit has a great concept, but ultimately some quest issues and the sheer amount of grind make it a bit of a drag.

Although You Suck at Parking gets harder and harder, it plays superbly, and the inventive nature of the tracks will keep you hooked.

The Nobody Saves the World Frozen Hearth DLC provides fun new challenges and two new well-designed forms to experiment with.

River City Girls Zero is an outdated beat em up with clunky combat, and is hard to recommend to anyone but the biggest fans of the franchise.

F1 Manager 22 is a strong step back into managing a Formula One team, with plenty of depth and a thrilling race weekend experience.

Sunday Gold may not be pretty, but it's certainly stylish, and a few fresh ideas help make up for its shortcomings.

Metal: Hellsinger features a perfect blend of frantic FPS action and rhythm, utilising different skillsets to make your way through hell. The music is excellent, the range of weapons are fun to use, and the gorgeous level design and visuals make this a must to play.

Jack Move is a sensational RPG that won’t take you months to complete, with a gripping story and fantastic combat.

Splatoon 3 isn't the most exciting release on the calendar, but it is the best the game has been. As a standalone game it's a rip-roaring success, and perhaps the game that fans wanted all along.

Next to Greedfall, SteelRising shows just how much Spiders has come on as a developer. There are some kinks for sure, but Aegis’ Parisian adventure is easily Spiders’ best game to date.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is brimming with Disney magic, but it's also a well-constructed game with plenty to keep you playing. [Early Access Score = 90]

Circus Electrique combines tricky turn-based combat and circus management to create a wonderful game for those willing to learn all the mechanics.

Way of the Hunter sacrifices fun for realism, and coupled with some other aggravating elements is a game I cannot recommend.

Gerda: A Flame in Winter tells an intimate tale of love and sacrifice, and forces you to make difficult decisions you often struggle to make.

Ooblets is a delightful and silly farming game with plenty to keep you busy, but the Switch performance might some off.

I think ORX is looking very promising so far, but in its current state it does (understandably) have some issues. There’s no playable tutorial to speak of, just a few screens of text and pictures that pop up when you first start a level, and it’s simply not enough. It takes a lot of trial and error to figure out how all of the intricate systems work together, and I can’t imagine everyone will have the patience to do that without much in the way of guidance. [Early Access Review]

Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation - The Endless Seven Day Journey might not be action packed, but it's incredibly endearing.

Scathe is a serviceable shooter with a few nice touches, but there's little to set it apart from other Doom-likes.

The Dragoness: Command of the Flame is an enjoyable adventure, but it does feel a little underwhelming compared to other turn-based strategy titles.

The Last of Us Part I is a technological marvel, making Naughty Dog's classic story of survival better than it has ever been before. The visuals are sublime as is the audio, and all of the other changes make this well worth playing all over again.

Immortality is a story of a girl who became a tour de force of a woman. Throughout all the submissive moments where she stood at the mercy of lovers and filmmakers, she became stronger than anyone could have expected. The acting by everyone involved is sublime, and the way everything connects is masterful. Her Story was great, but this is on another level. I was captivated from the beginning, and left with my jaw on the floor by the end. There’re are secrets everywhere, and if you’re willing to spend time finding them, the rewards come in abundance.
