Yuppie Psycho is a shining example of the brilliance in indie horror. In a time where every big indie horror property seems progressively more marketed to children, the unapologetic R rating is a refreshing change of pace. An interesting story, likable characters, and the lack of a reliance on a gameplay gimmick or main marketable antagonist make it clear that the developers truly cared and believed about the game they were making, and it shows. That being said, the game too closely homages horror games of old to the detriment of the experience.

Burn me Twice is a fun little game that offers many enjoyable aspects, and for a game that is free to play, you get a lot. The story is interesting, the gameplay is easy to get to grips with, and the graphics and audio contribute to the mysterious atmosphere. There was also a nice nod to Christopher Marlowe’s play, Doctor Faustus (in which a man makes a deal with the devil) in the name of the revered physician, Doctor Fausto, which I also rather enjoyed. This enchanting mystery is great fun, and is the perfect casual game for any mystery fan.

Overall, this episode carries the same feel as the previous installments yet just falls short in some aspects. Episode 1 was a strong start that pulled us in, and while Episode 2 was still interesting enough for us to continue, Episode 3 feels rushed and lazy in some parts. The gameplay is unimaginative and feels like a chore. On top of that, the short episode length really makes players feel like they're not getting enough game for their buck. That being said, the main story itself is extremely interesting, with well-written dialogue that proves to be both charming and dramatic.

Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader is an excellent title for those looking to dabble their strategic toes into an ocean of lore. Mixing different factions from the franchise with a deep character customization menu creates a fulfilling and immersive experience. It may be difficult to get into at first, but with enough time and reading you'll be commanding the battlefield like a champion of the God Emperor himself!

If you've got a group of people that you want to play with, or if you want to replay the original game, then you should check out the new update. But I came out of this review with more critiques than I realized while playing. Turns out, some of my favorite parts were just playing the game with my kids, but the game itself. In the end, the game is flawed, but it's trying, and that's all we can really ask for.

Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit is a perfectly fine Five Nights at Freddy's game. Fans of the franchise will love it. Others will ignore it like they have every other game. The game itself has plenty of greatness within, mostly in the design of the sounds and the characters, but it really falters at the end with little increase in the scares and no worthwhile resolution.

Hindsight 20/20 is a repeatable slice of choice-based gameplay that enticed me to play its short story multiple times to see just how much I could alter the outcome. Unfortunately, this approach means the same combat scenarios and puzzles must be repeated in every run, with no variations. This soon became a major bore, even though the fighting flowed so well at the beginning. A lacklustre cast of characters and uninspiring plot add to the action-adventure's problems.

Tacoma is a really good story wrapped up in a simple walking simulator. Engaging with the AR segments and exploring the station was enjoyable; the information presented was mostly interesting, while the voice acting was excellent. In terms of actual gameplay, it's sadly lacking and the investigation feature is its' saving grace. There are some minigames thrown in, but very little else. Coupled with (this reviewer) several game crashes, this definitely dampened the experience. I would say it is worth making the trip once. Make sure to play this in one sitting.

AK-Xolotl is a silly concept which achieves its goal of replayability and cuteness while being accessible to those new to the roguelite genre. A solid original soundtrack backs up the repetitive yet effective gameplay, with a bloody and sweet visual style. Although it may look like a simple 2D shooter, AK-Xolotl crams alottle of mechanics into its multi-terrain dungeon sprawling gameplay.

An inspired idea with a fun to control character dragged down by level design and enemy issues. While not reaching the heights of the Blue Blur's best, it's an very fun attempt that is very enticing to replay.

Just like farming itself, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin can feel like a laborious game of highs and lows, but the rewards are there for those willing to put in the time and work. It’s unique blending of different gameplay styles results in a memorable balance between thoughtful farming and mindless action, but I wish some more effort was made to have the two meet in the middle. With that said, Sakuna delighted with its entertaining characters, stylistic flair, and ambition to experiment with creative ideas.

Creo God Simulator does a good job at providing a city builder simulation experience with godly powers. You do feel like you have control over the lives of your citizens. However, the prayer system isn't as powerful as advertised and it doesn't do enough to differentiate the game. This is a decent city sim builder with an extra touch, but doesn't go above that.

DREAMO is a title that is probably bigger than it should be. The storyline issues and audio mishaps are problematic and do cause the entire package to suffer, but thankfully that package is built on some really solid puzzle mechanics. Moving around cogs didn't get old, and different layers of difficulty were introduced at a steady pace. Try out the demo before you commit to a purchase, and don't get stuck in the gears.

Castle Kong is an excellent game choice for Donkey Kong fans who want to look at something new. The controls and overall gameplay mechanics don't change from what you know, but it's a fresh coat of paint on a 40-year-old title with full portability on the Nintendo Switch. If you're into chasing down high scores and are confident in your abilities, this should be on your radar.

Critter Cafe is a soothing and relaxing game in the best of times, filled with cute critters. There's no rush to complete the game and you can take as much time as you want. It does feel like some parts of the game are more complex than necessary. But if you are in need of a cozy critter game, it's hard to beat Critter Cafe.

Dinosaur Fossil Hunter makes you feel like a paleontologist who wants to succeed in their dream career, immersing you in a relatable story that resembles real-life career struggles. The paleontology work is as accurate as possible, and the graphics really make you feel the gravity of a discovery or completed exhibit. While the charm can quickly wear off with repetitive activities that only avid paleontologists could continue to enjoy, it is a solid simulation experience that shows you a day in the life of a paleontologist.

I knew nothing about Ninja JaJaMaru going in, but I came out pleasantly surprised. It's a simple and solidly built 8-bit throwback with a lot of content for retro fanatics to sink their teeth into. It might be a bit too simple for some people's tastes, but if you want dumb fun ninja action, than this is a strong recommendation. If JaJamaru ever makes another return, I will be interested to see it, whatever form that might take.

While it may be a little on the short side, Arietta of Spirits is an enjoyable experience. Overall, there's not much to fault here - an original story, beautiful visuals, fitting soundtrack and engaging gameplay. What it lacks in length and replayability, it makes up for with its charm and solid execution.

The Eternal Castle [REMASTERED] obviously comes from a place of great passion and love for the games and era that inspires it. Its art style masterfully uses the CGA colour pallet and its animations are smooth and characterful. However the core gameplay whilst solid on its own is often defeated by its art style. Often obscuring key details and progression paths making it overly hard to see where you are supposed to be going or what is hidden in the dark. Plus the game's fonts whilst great to look at can be difficult to read and can rob the play of vital information and backstory the game needs.

Drug Dealer Simulator 2 is an imperfect heir to the first Drug Dealer Simulator game, with many problems held back this game's potential, however, with the addition of multiple things such as weapons, new Reputation system, a more complex and in-depth drug distributions, Drug Dealer Simulator 2 remains a solid Narcos management game that can provide entertainment to all kinds of players to breeze through this year's Summer season.

A positive outlook on life provides a positive experience. Izzy’s emotional journey is worth exploring to see what happened next. The use of the journal made the emotional twists land. The Land of Estoria is a pleasant albeit safe environment, possibly mirroring Izzy’s mental state. The gameplay is straightforward, pleasant to explore despite an occasional lagging camera. Could there have been better variety here? Sure, but story is the focus here, with a nice art style and enjoyable music & voice acting to accompany it.

Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition adds plenty of new levels and features, but the root problems remain: the cryptic and maze-like level design coupled with the repetitive game play lead to an acquired taste. While it's nice to have full compatibility with modern systems and online multiplayer for goofing off with friends, there's only so much the developers can do to restore a dated experience. While this is clearly a great purchase for fans of Rise of the Triad and people who like older shooters, I'm hesitant to recommend it.

Wee Tanks! is a fun and simple game from Studio Kit. It has three modes of play and a Map Editor. The gameplay is mainly based on shooting and dodging, with the ability to bounce bullets off walls and destroy the environment. All these mechanics increase the chaos, and it just makes the game fun without being overwhelming. But with its simple graphics and gameplay, the game manages to keep the chaos in control.

GYLT offers an emotional insight into the impact bullying can have on a child using thought provoking art to convey concepts of loneliness, anger and paranoia. This well crafted story links well with the simple gameplay mechanics, with an artstyle that fits the creepy atmosphere created through the soundtrack. All of this and an environment which urges you to explore in spite of the sparse selection of meaningful items to be found, GYLT is perfect for a horror fan looking for a more mellow game, and would work well as a first-time spooky experience.

Ultimately, Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town feels like a missed opportunity in a pretty package. The crafting system is a good idea but the actual execution was a misstep, causing the entire experience to suffer as a result. Of course, one could play this game almost in passing, making small progress and just reveling in the world, happy with the slow but steady impact they make on those around them. But, you'd have to decide for yourself if that's the true point of a farming simulator, anyway.

City Limits is a puzzle-strategy game with low-stakes and high scores. It does only a few things, but it gets them right. The gameplay loop is there for anyone chasing high scores or a rewarding game to chill out to, and the aesthetic and soundscape is soothing. It takes a short time to experience the entire game, but you might want to stay a long time anyway.

Tanuki Sunset is a relaxing game about skateboarding down a hill as a racoon, and it makes that premise work reasonably well. You'll have fun customising your outfit and board, but probably won't be blown away by the obstacles and gameplay. It's worth playing, but you can play a mini-version free in your browser. Look it up!

Total War: Warhammer III Champions of Chaos is a totally decent DLC. Whilst it doesn't set the world on fire nor shake things up too much it is fun for what it is. Fans will find a cool new challenge to sink their teeth into. However, it is not a "Must Have" by any means. As what it expands upon is fairly minimal. And features a range of new units that I believe should have been in the base title.
