    Project Downfall
    Overall, Project Downfall succesffuly presents a challenging first person alternative to Hotline Miami, showcasing fun updated gameplay that many old-school shooters paved the way for. The story having a branch narrative with multiple endings is great and I'm definitely going back to see all them but the lack of an interesting plot does stop it from being perfect. Some irritations with AI, lighting, and some gameplay mechanics hold it back, but there's enough here to keep you playing and smashing heads in the name of John Wickian Justice.

    GRIME Definitive Edition
    Grime isn't necessarily a great game, but it's definitely a memorable game. I can think of a few other games that play like it, but I can't think of any other games that really look like it. The disgusting body horror world was my favorite aspect of the game, which is good, because creating a memorable world is important for a Metroidvania. There's definitely some wrinkles to this Switch port, but Grime remains a satisfying time, sure to appeal to fans of both Soulslikes and Metroidvanias.

    Where the Music Dies
    I'm glad I decided to check out Where the Music Dies, and I very much doubt this will be the only time I play through it. I'm sure I'll want to experience this story again to see what other options there are, where the story could take me next time, how it would be different. Where the Music Dies may only require your attention for no more than 2 hours, but it's by no means an unmemorable one. It is dark and deep, but it will stay with you. In summary, the story is well written, the dialogue feels natural and fluid, you have freedom with the choices, and the art style and music brings the entire story to life. As this is free and doesn't take long to get through, there's no reason why you shouldn't check Where the Music Dies out.

    Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
    The game leaves a lot to be desired. At first glace, the combat seems interesting but ultimately falls flat due to the repetitive nature of the missions and combat encounters. The dialogue and cutscenes are excellently produced, however, the same cannot be said about the boss fights and ending of the game. Not being able to play the game offline even when solo feels like a slap in the face but it can be forgiven. Ultimately, the game can be enjoyed by some DC fans looking for some quick, chaotic fun, yet a lot of die-hard comic book fans will be quick to criticize certain aspects of comic accuracy and character development. The hefty price tag is definitely unjustified and doesn't feel fully worth it.

    Lacey's Wardrobe
    While the only purpose of Lacey's Wardrobe is to disturb the player at all times, it is a good analog horror experience that matches the original YouTube creepypasta of the same name. And even if it remains fairly short and quick, it has been expanded and made six times longer than the "original game". Hopefully, the existence of this fan-made game also means the future inclusion of the next seemingly innocent adventures of Lacey!

    Vampire Survivors
    Vampire Survivors is a very content-rich game for its genre, with tons of unlockable characters, stages, items, and more. It can be a fun time if you just want around 10-30 minutes of casual gameplay. The game mostly plays itself with the player's only real input being moving around and selecting items and upgrades, so it might not appeal much to somebody looking for more in-depth gameplay. If you're looking to get into the horde-survival genre that's been getting popular lately, this game is a good place to start.

    Turnip Boy Robs a Bank
    Turnip Boy's second adventure is every bit as cutesy and charming as the first, with just enough existential dread to keep you on your toes, wondering what Turnip Boy will do next, perhaps it could be "Turnip Boy Runs a Crypto Scam". It's funny that despite all of the crimes Turnip Boy commits, the real crime was the state this port released in. It's still perfectly playable, and I saw no major glitches, but the performance is so awful that my recommendation is to either wait for it to get patched or play it on something else.

    Phantom Doctrine
    If you are a fan of the newer Xcom series, I highly recommend this game. If you are a fan of Cold War spy thrillers, I highly recommend this game. The mystery of the conspiracy is fantastic and makes me want to uncover everything. The gameplay is brutal, but fair and unlike Xcom you won't miss a with a shotgun at point blank range and a 99% change to hit. This game fulfilled many niches and I hope others will agree.

    The Universim
    The Universim is a beautiful real time strategy game mixing city building with divine intervention. As a brand new take on the empire building gameplay of your stereotypical 4x gameplay, you'll focus less on military, and more on evolution and adaptability. Fight not only other civilizations, but also the environment itself; all the while trying to maintain a clean planet free of disease and pollution. As a stand alone title, The Universim has a lot to offer; and undoubtedly more to be expected from this beautiful bombshell of a game!

    Graven
    Graven is a difficult game that combines resource management with RPG-style adventure combat. You will fight hordes of undead enemies that force you to be creative and push your resources. It's a punishing game where lowering the difficulty might be a good idea, given how easy it is to get hurt or become lost. But if you fight past the frustration and get knocked around enough times, you can find a decent adventure that you are proud of completing.

    Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic
    Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic on the whole is an impressive game, not just as a hidden objects game, but a great game in general. There are a few issues, but these are rather minor. All in all, I had a lot of fun playing this. I loved going through the four eras, and challenged myself to find every object. The clues made it more fun to work out where everything was. If you like being creative, the Architect mode won't disappoint, as it's staggeringly detailed but not overcomplicated. Whether you're familiar with hidden objects games or new to them, Hidden Through Time 2 is a good choice.

    Computer Repair Shop
    Computer Repair Shop has a lot of potential for a simulation game, especially because you can choose how you run your business. However, it's held back by several gameplay aspects and lifeless audio that quickly drain the fun from it. You might have a good few hours fixing up computers and sending them back to customers, but your interest can easily dwindle. If there were better improvements, this game could be great, but it's not there yet.

    War Hospital
    Overall, War Hospital is a unique and gritty game that depicts the terror that was once happened during World War I. This new approach makes the game's many mechanics stand out, though there are several bugs that are very frustrating when you encounter them. Still, War Hospital ticks many boxes that are enjoyable for both Strategy genre lovers and for those who seek to try their hands at managing something, where every choice determines who lives and who dies.

    The Last Faith
    The Last Faith does not pretend to overcome its prior inspirations but impeccably attains a satisfying length and experience. It carefully adopts classic sensations, covering players in some of the genre's finest moments. Thus, in a gaming landscape inundated with overly ambitious Metroidvanias featuring ambitious maps, this game's convincing approach makes it an exciting challenge to complete at least once and a fair experience with increased difficulty for those who seek tougher battles after the initial completion.

    PowerWash Simulator
    If there's any simulator out there that is very simple but still engaging enough to keep you doing the same task for hours without waiting for any particular reward (other than personal satisfaction), that is definitely PowerWash Simulator. The co-op is also a great way to spend a chill time with your friends and clean together in a relaxing and satisfying manner that clearly real life cannot offer!

    20 Minutes Till Dawn
    20 Minutes Till Dawn is a fun and exciting horde survival game that offers a good variety of weapons and abilities to fight off massive swarms of enemies with. The varied upgrade system allows for a multitude of different builds to use in each run. While the game has relatively low content in terms of enemies to fight and environments to fight in, the game still has a good amount of content overall for its price.

    Super Mario RPG
    The Super Mario RPG remake goes beyond nostalgia and captivates the player from the first playthrough. Overflowing with humor yet masterful in every aspect, the game reaffirms its status as a cult classic among the best SNES JRPGs, showcasing the genuine Mario spirit beyond platforming. Its triumph is not solely in updating the original's visuals and gameplay but in unequivocally bringing these features to Nintendo Switch players. Nintendo not just remade the game for aesthetics; it made it accessible to everyone: new Mario fans, long-time players, and even those wary about the "RPG" label could find an exciting gaming piece this time.

    Blood West
    Blood West is a perfectly standard take on the western horror genre, offering new monsters, takes on firearms, and the aspect of being part of the undead. Will you be able to free the land from the evil curses brought on by the settlers? or will you become just another vengeful spirit roaming these hardened lands, a ghost of the past. Either way its up to you to decide with your knife, bow, and plenty of fire power to settle the wild west!

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III
    While the existence of Warzone by itself shouldn't represent a threat to the franchise, Modern Warfare III is the ultimate proof of how Call of Duty's free battle royale mode is harming the main entries by turning them into Warzone spin-offs and diverting the series from what they have been re-constructing since 2019. Sadly, the enjoyable multiplayer mode doesn't compensate for the open-world mess the campaign and zombies mode represent for this wasted and mistreated sequel.

    Baldur's Gate 3
    Baldur's Gate 3 is one of those unicorn games you encounter very rarely. It's well made, rich in content, and welcoming to gamers of all levels. Even if you've never heard of Baldur's Gate or dabbled in Dungeons and Dragons, there's at least one part of the game that will intrigue you. The narrative is expertly structured, combat is innovative and promotes ingenuity, and you can seamlessly enjoy your adventure alone or with friends. A game with this much freedom and content is going to entertain you for hours (literally I've played 50 hours of this game and I'm just scratching the surface). As I said before this game earned its Game of the Year award and Larian Studios should give themselves a big round of applause.

    Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
    Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a visually breathtaking game with the DNA of standard Ubisoft games. The open-world activities get repetitive at times, the villain is uninteresting, and you need to continue to upgrading for gear that stops the momentum of the game. But, to experience this beautiful world outweighs the gameplay that can get tiring. You'll be left in awe of Pandora and be delighted to sink your teeth into this world.

    THE FINALS
    With further updates that introduce more maps and equipment, The Finals has the potential to be a juggernaut in the FPS scene, influencing other companies to follow. Because of maps you can almost completely destroy, builds that introduce new ways of strategizing, and an engaging gameplay loop, The Finals absolutely soars.

    The Sims 4: For Rent
    All-in-all, The Sims 4 For Rent Expansion Pack has a lot to offer to the series. The new Residential Rental Lots and being a Property Owner are definitely my favorite parts of this pack. The new world Tomarang is a welcome addition as well, and I like the selection of clothes and objects added with this pack. The new aspirations are a great way to experience the new world and gameplay. There may be one or two minor issues, but it's nothing a future patch can't fix. One of the things that made me really pleased with For Rent was it was better than I was expecting. I was worried I'd be disappointed or not enjoy it, but I'm glad that wasn't the case.

    Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader
    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!

    Undying
    Undying is an emotional survival game that tugs at your heartstrings while you play. You must take care of your young son while you make your way through the zombie apocalypse. It’s not the easiest survival game and your efforts will require multiple tries. But if you are willing to learn, the game offers a post-apocalypse narrative that is rarely touched upon.

    Pseudoregalia
    Pseudoregalia is probably one of the best indie platformers to be released this year. With fantastic controls and a great collection of challenges there is so much that will get you hooked and keep you coming back for more. However the lack of a map can make it easy to get lost and end up going places you don't intend to. However the core gameplay loop and unlockable powers can make the experience far smoother over all.

    Loddlenaut
    Loddlenaut excels at its main gameplay loop. I excitedly spent a full three and a half hours exploring ocean zones, gathering trash and materials, and building up my home cove. As for the titular loddles, I had little cause to care for them. Raising them, feeding them, and giving them a home were accessory parts of your quest. Ultimately, I wish the loddles could have played a more significant role in your mission to clean the ocean.

    Fear & Hunger
    Fear & Hunger is a great survival horror RPG. It is disturbing, filled with twisted lore that makes one want to plunge further into its depths to learn more. The game allows you to make many choices, no matter how heinous, to survive or gain power to achieve your goals. The atmosphere is dark and horrifying, with gameplay that complements it to make you feel like you are exploring a dangerous place with very little safety to rest. I've tried it on my computer and Steam deck with little to no issues.

    Unpacking
    Unpacking is not a game for everyone, but the people it appeals to will fall in love with it. The game has its own unique charm, and players will find themselves breezing through the whole thing before they know it. However, that does mean the game is way shorter than it should be. With only 8 levels, they definitely could have made it to at least 13-15. The beautiful pixel art enhances the game's aesthetic, though certain items don't translate as well, leading to some confusion.

    Session: Skate Sim
    The updates for Session: Skate Sim have contributed to the overall immersion and added touches of realism to the experience. While there are still performance issues in places, and I am still having to wear the same beanie/hairstyle, the updates and DLC maps successfully keep the game interesting. By adding new spots and slowly but surely implementing new gameplay elements, Session keeps you coming back for one more try, and to see how you can skate a spot differently. One slight inconvenience when using the board breaking option however, is the lack of skate shops in the DLC maps, meaning you will have to frequently return to other locations or use a blank deck. But overall, Session: Skate Sim remains engaging and is still a fantastic virtual skateboarding sandbox.
