Reptilian Rising is a charming, focused tactical game that fully commits to its identity and earns genuine goodwill through personality alone. Technical rough edges, including UI elements blocking the grid and the occasional menu-locking bug, add friction that a $29.99 game at launch shouldn't carry. At 10 to 12 hours for a single campaign run, a one-and-done player won't stretch Reptilian Rising all that far. Those willing to run it twice on hard, experimenting with a different hero lineup, will find considerably more value. It won't be for everyone, but for the right kind of player, it is hard to put down.- KeenGamer

Gunboat God gives you an action-packed game that tests your reflexes and incentivizes you to practice your skills. With several enemy variations and level objectives, there's plenty to do as you master your use of the gunboat. Unfortunately there's nothing but gunboat combat and high scores that keeps you playing. It's great for anyone looking for a good action platformer but just wants the action.- KeenGamer

Super Meat Boy 3D successfully preserves the fast-paced, challenging gameplay fans expect, offering plenty of content for those who enjoy mastering difficult platforming. However, its shift to 3D reduces precision and introduces camera and control issues. While some will enjoy the added freedom, others may find it frustrating, making it a solid but imperfect evolution.- KeenGamer

I believe that if anyone is looking for a challenging experience, then Death Howl is the game for them. I sadly didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped, but it did leave me with a lot of respect for the game. It has a clear identity, strong art style, and a combat system that'll really click for players who enjoy the grind. Like most souls-likes, I can see myself coming back to Death Howl when I'm in need of a mountain to climb.- KeenGamer

Goblins of Elderstone provides a colony building experience with solid fundamentals and an enjoyable experience. It's nice to see your colony expand as you deal with threats. But the tutorial doesn't cover everything and you are often left to fend for yourself. It doesn't help that many of the resources you need are out of reach, forcing you to learn the hard way. While the game can be fun, it also feels more difficult than it needs to be.- KeenGamer

Bogos Binted has several games that are great for quick fun with friends. The fast pace and unpredictability give everyone an equal chance to win. However playing for extended periods of time drains you and it's hard to find a suitable online game without friends. If you have friends, this game is easy to recommend but without other copies, you can't experience the game's full potential.- KeenGamer

Nova Antarctica presents a difficult survival challenge but that's mostly because it's difficult to know what your objectives are. While surviving against the brutal weather is part of the fun, it's also challenging because you must restart with every failure. It's a game where you must dedicate lots of time to learn and the mystery isn't a big draw. You may be entertained at first but it could be tough to continue playing.- KeenGamer

The Dagby Files is something you should look at getting if you enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles, with the added component of narrative through detective mysteries. Even if you're not much of a mystery fan, you'll still enjoy doing the puzzles and there's no consequences for getting investigations wrong. At the heart of it, it's just a fun new way to complete jigsaws. The illustrations by Dave Montes definitely adds that special touch to The Dagby Files, not just being attractive to look at but also from a practical standpoint when solving the puzzles. I'd like to see more puzzle games like this, where jigsaws are combined with a narrative.- KeenGamer

High School Dirty Secrets masterfully creates a tense atmosphere that makes you jump at the slightest sound and dread looking around every corner. It doesn't overstay its welcome and you have a great time running from enemies. The story isn't the best and puzzles could use more guidance. Look no further than this game if you want a great horror atmosphere to scare you.- KeenGamer

DETECTIVE - Rainy Night tries to be two different genres at once but never finds its focus. The result is a game that doesn't feel like mystery or horror, instead a rough combination of the two. You are only interested in seeing how the story ends and probably won't give the game much thought when it's over.- KeenGamer

Sanatorium - A Mental Asylum Simulator balances patient treatment with investigating a mystery. It does a good job of making you balance patient welfare with your own survival within the asylum. The gameplay aspects don't work well together and gameplay can be repetitive after some time. The game won't overstay its welcome and is worth a look if you want an easy simulator.- KeenGamer

Syberia Remastered is not a bad remaster—but it is a timid one, and that is what hurts most. This world, this story, this legacy, deserved a revival that honored Benoît Sokal’s vision with boldness and confidence. Instead, we are left with something in between: a remaster that flickers with brilliance but too often fades back into mediocrity. For newcomers, it offers a glimpse of why Syberia became a classic. For longtime fans, it feels like a missed opportunity—a reminder of just how powerful this story could be if given the chance to truly shine again. Syberia Remastered is heartfelt but incomplete—a nostalgic return that touches the heart, but never fully captures the magic it tries to revive.- KeenGamer

Bounty Star does a decent job of mixing mech combat with base management. You slowly build stronger mechs while earning money and starting a farm. Objectives can be unclear and farming doesn't feel as integrated as advertised. It's a decent game with good fundamentals but the farming aspect may disappoint you.- KeenGamer

DeadWire encourages creativity by creating connections between various objects to defeat enemies. There's always a solution and you can't lock yourself out of a level. The solution can be obscure and there's no actual reward for being fast. It's a good top-down shooter but doesn't push many boundaries.- KeenGamer

It may not be a main SUDA51 title but the collaboration with SWERT doesn't feel as different other than 2.5D perspective, which thankfully works well. The gameplay may need some polishing with input delays but it has that roguelike itch that this addict can't resist. Its a nice starter to keep SUDA51 fans going till Romeo is a Dead Man releases. Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna see what else is in store for me during my stay at Hotel Barcelona.- KeenGamer

Skygard Arena is thoughtful, punishing, and rewarding once the systems click. Its status-driven tactics and persona/relic builds offer genuine depth, especially for players coming from tactics or MOBA backgrounds. For newcomers, early campaign spikes and limited sustain options make the first hours rougher than they need to be. With improved onboarding and a touch more access to healing/cleansing in story missions, Skygard Arena could be an easy recommendation across the board.- KeenGamer

Coloring Voxels is a soothing, cute, and fun little paint-by-numbers game. Whilst it isn't a gaming revolution it has everything that it needs to be charming and to help you to relax after a busy day. The gameplay may be too simple for some. And the harsh truth is that some diorama pieces can get monotonous given how many layers of the same colour you can end up needing to colour in.- KeenGamer

Death Relives is a horror experience that confuses itself for an interactive history lesson at times. It may be filled with entertaining puzzles and an enjoyable intimidating antagonist, but It sadly doesn't justify the frequent bugs and frustrating stealth mechanics. I can see the vision the developers were going for but Death Relives definitely needed some more time in the oven. Hopefully in their next venture they'll learn what worked and what didn't, and maybe leave the AI generated content behind.- KeenGamer

The Necromancer’s Tale provides a different CRPG experience that focuses on the detective aspects. It’s a good twist on the genre but it may not be for everyone. Other than the gameplay, nothing stands out but it’s great if you want a different experience.- KeenGamer

While it is its own vibrant and enjoyable game, Spray Paint Simulator feels extremely similar to Powerwash Simulator. The levels and equipment are fairly basic, and I feel as though there was missed potential for more creative and novel ideas linked to the spray painting theme. However despite its flaws, Spray Paint Simulator is still a solid addition to the simulator genre. The mindless and satisfying gameplay is ideal for switching off and zoning out, perfect for those moments when you're looking for a game which doesn't need you to pay to attention to cutscenes or puzzle solving.- KeenGamer

Wizard of Legend 2 presents an enjoyable roguelike experience where you combine elemental spells to create powerful combos. The magic experience is enjoyable but it doesn't stand out from other roguelikes that have come before it. This makes Wizard of Legend 2 hard to recommend when another roguelike offers something more distinctive.- KeenGamer

Spirit of the North 2 builds on the charm of the original with a larger world and more polished graphics. It's a soothing experience for those who enjoy light puzzles, environmental storytelling and walks through picturesque landscapes. However, inconsistent mechanics, a lack of direction and technical problems prevent it from being truly great. Play it if you like relaxing exploration games, minimalist storytelling, or you just want to be a pretty fox in a beautiful world. Skip it if you prefer tight gameplay, strong storytelling, or are easily frustrated by unclear mechanics and occasional bugs.- KeenGamer

Spellcaster University is a game of contradictions: chaotic yet structured, charming yet quickly tiresome. Its systems are deep, its personality undeniable—but its transition to Switch is clumsy at best. This version demands patience, sharp eyesight, and a high tolerance for fiddly menus. If you can meet those criteria, there’s a mildly entertaining time-waster hidden beneath the clutter.- KeenGamer

Deck of Haunts provides a solid deckbuilding roguelite experience combined with horror you inflict. It's fun to come up with ways to prevent intruders from reaching the heart of your haunted house. There are some balance issues and that does make the experience feel repetitive quickly. But for a solid roguelite deckbuilder, Deck of Haunts delivers a successful twist on a familiar formula.- KeenGamer

Cauldron is a fun RPG that deftly weaves mini-games into the standard formula. It's easy to learn and the story has lots of snark that keeps you entertained. You may have to look over information like defense types since they aren't explained well. Burnout is also another risk since there is little gameplay variation. But if you want a game that successfully elevates mini-games in an RPG, Cauldron is hard to beat.- KeenGamer

Wavetale provides a cozy, enjoyable ride of exploration and puzzle solving. The story is one big side quest, but its subtext is well written - global warming, industrialism and the hubris of humanity. Gameplay is fluid and enjoyable with an excellent soundtrack and decent voice acting. Screen tearing and audio glitches distract but ultimately do not deter me from recommending this as a decent weekend getaway.- KeenGamer

Sports: Renovations isn’t a bad game—but it’s definitely one you play with Netflix on. Instructions are vague, the story is easy to skip, and even finishing your main goal early earns no acknowledgment. There’s solid voice acting and some charm in the radio broadcasts, but most players will miss it while zoning out or playing their own music. There's no reward for creativity, and your effort rarely matters. I’m not sure who the target audience is—sports fans or dad game fans—but merging the two doesn’t quite land. Still, if you just want something low-pressure to unwind with (and you dodge the glitches), it’s a decent time-waster.- KeenGamer

Even though the developers followed the general outline of a proven formula, the overall experience is genuinely enjoyable and becomes a fun challenge once you get past the first run. That said, the game can’t really be compared to more popular titles. Pairs & Perils is great if you’re looking to kill some time or if you’re the kind of person who likes to keep their hands busy while talking or listening to something—but it’s not the kind of game you’ll likely spend hours on just for the sake of it.- KeenGamer

SUPER Dungeon Muncher is a sold indie-arcade flavoured action game. With great visuals and solid gameplay it is great value for money and then some. It is an easy title to pick up and play, with a wide variety of control schemes to use. Each feeling well designed in their own right. However I feel that how the levels are generated can make some runs harder than they need to be. And that it could prove too repetitive for some gamers.- KeenGamer

METAL SUITS: Counter-attack provides a fun fast-paced platforming experience that tests your reflexes. Running through levels with various suits and finding all the collectibles is enjoyable. It doesn't improve or change much of the platforming experience and will mostly appeal to people who want more platforming.- KeenGamer
