In the end, Monster Train 2 is a ride that promises hellfire and havoc but mostly delivers a slot machine in disguise. Beneath the bold aesthetics, catchy animations, and endless streams of demonic jargon lies a game that seems more interested in flipping coins than rewarding planning or skill. Sure, there are moments when the cards line up, your units hold their ground, and the monster library gets a new dusty entry. Strategy might give you the illusion of control, but don’t be fooled, this train doesn’t run on tactics, it runs on dice rolls. Maybe that’s enough. Maybe the spectacle, the lore, and the familiar mechanics still hold some spark. But for newcomers like me, Monster Train 2 isn’t a calculated journey through the underworld.

Undivine is a dark Metroidvania with an RPG twist. The action is tough but enjoyable. Moreover, the bosses are great and the never-ending monsters will push your buttons.

A decent skeleton that needs a good bit of filling out to stop it from becoming a bit too repetitive. [Early Access Provisional Score = 70]

While it may seem as though technical and design snags have trampled my former compliments towards Tainted Grail, that is far from the case. Even if the experience doesn’t measure up to its idolized peers in terms of pure content, presentation, or popularity, the game’s efforts in occupying a similar philosophy to all-time greats is an aspiration often avoided by smaller studios. Not only this, but the unique storytelling, tone, and writing of Tainted Grail invested me in ways that many RPG staples never have. Even if bugs bound me to a choppy, imperfect experience, I more often than not found myself lost in the world of Avalon and what it had to offer me. Above all else, rolling the credits left me excited to see what is next for Questline.

Spirit Valor is a fun-filled retro RPG. Moreover, the story is captivating even though the gameplay is relatively simple. If you love dated RPGs with straightforward action, this will be for you.

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter on PS4/PS5 is a loving time capsule. It’s not a modern game in structure or control feel, but for fans of Star Wars lore, especially the prequel trilogy and The Mandalorian-style bounty hunting fantasy, it offers a compelling ride. The upgraded performance makes it the best way to experience the game today, and the budget price makes it a fair pick-up for curious newcomers and nostalgic fans alike.

It’s not for everyone. The content is undeniably triggering for some, and its gameplay is minimal. But that’s missing the point. Ratshaker isn’t about “fun” in a traditional sense. It’s an interactive short film, a psychological experiment, a crude catharsis. For the price of a coffee and less time than a sitcom episode, Ratshaker offers a one-of-a-kind experience that will stick with you long after the credits roll, whether you want it to or not.

Survive the Fall is a new breed of survival game. Combining base building and 3 sizable biomes, this lootathon experience will keep you busy. Moreover, there are stealth elements to master, free-flowing combat to enjoy, and plenty of rewarding moments.

With its colorful art, lively gameplay, and real cultural flavor, SEDAP! is easy to recommend, especially if you’re looking for something to enjoy together on a game night.

NanoApostle is a perfect encapsulation of the struggles indie developers face in today’s market. Like other games, the developers have had to focus their main efforts into one area, to the detriment of the rest of the game. The movement and combat in this game are fantastic and will keep players hooked as they take on terrifying boss after boss. In conclusion, sadly, a story that is non existent and inconsistent presentation prevent this game really standing out amongst a sea of indie titles. There’s fun to be had, but at what cost?

Alter Age is an odd old-school RPG. Though the story is interesting and fun, the age changing mechanic is a little strange. Moreover, the combat is easy and this will disappoint hardcore gamers.

Motocross has a solid history within video games, but MXGP 24: The Official Game falls short of the greats. Building up speed can never match the adrenaline expected when the player is, more often than not, interrupted in immersion-breaking ways. The competition can’t carry the same sort of rivalry found in sports when multiplayer options are scant and AI behaves a world away from holding a sense of realism. After a three-year absence, MXGP 24: The Official Game’s functions fine enough to let players cross the finish line, but no first-place victory validates what is flawed about this package.

Monster Energy Supercross 25 has some nice shiny new mechanics. However, evolution is limited and this will frustrate franchise fans. Yet, if you are new to the game, you will adore the stunning graphics, deep career, and interesting racing gameplay.

If you’re a fan of action RPGs with a taste for mystery and don’t mind a bit of roughness around the edges, Empyreal might just be worth exploring. But for players expecting a polished, emotionally resonant journey with rogue-lite and looter mechanics, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

After a few missions, the novelty wears thin. The clunky controls, the repetitive grind, the constant rebuilding… it starts to feel more like a chore than a challenge. And in a world full of polished strategy games and tightly tuned shooters, going back to Block Fortress 2 just doesn’t make a lot of sense. It’s good. Not great. Not bad. Just good. And sometimes, good isn’t enough to earn a second playthrough.

In the era of debate of what is a remaster and what is a remake, Days Gone Remastered does exactly what the title says. New modes such as the horde assault add variety and difficulty and the great accessibility additions contribute to an already strong package. The visuals and audio were already brilliant but the improvements to these departments help solidify their greatness. The story remains exactly as before, warts and all and still is divisive to this day, but to me, it’s a great adventure that tries to tell an intimate story in a vast and daunting world. Hopefully one day, Sony will greenlight a sequel, but for now and to me, this remains Sony’s most underrated game. See you on the open road!

Trident's Tale is a fun, cheeky, and enjoyable pirate adventure. However, it lacks originality because of the well-trodden mechanics. If you can overlook that issue, you'll lose yourself in a vibrant world filled with colourful characters.

Ultimately, All in Abyss: Judge the Fake is a game that thrives on its concept more than its execution. It’s ambitious, stylish, and refreshingly different — but it can’t always live up to the narrative weight or mechanical depth it seems to promise. For those who enjoy poker and are looking for a fresh narrative twist on it, this could be a compelling, if uneven, experience. But players seeking emotional depth or a tightly designed tactical game may find its bluffs easier to read than intended.

RoadCraft is a fantastic open-world sandbox experience. 8 campaigns and plenty of missions stand between you and victory. Moreover, there are loads of vehicles, plenty of scrap, and multiplayer gameplay to keep you entertained.

Leila is a dreamy and strange story-driven puzzle adventure title. The subjects are odd and the puzzles misleading, but I adore the plot, the story, and the wonderful soundscape. Though it is great, a game-breaking bug undermines the polish.

Praising the game’s competency is difficult under the weight of its indifference towards anything but mimicry. It’s a title that more immediately identifies as a dime a dozen, uninspired app store experience more than anything else, one amongst many that are starting to populate platforms such as the Playstation Store, Steam, and the eShop. The dusty corners of these catalogs once fostered games capable of delivering on players’ faith that they might discover an overlooked gem. An overpopulation of undercooked experiences and titles drained of spirit has made a history of such hope, an especially harsh realization given how the niche audience for a series like Pilotwings genuinely yearns for a modern counterpart crafted with care. Pilot Sports is, unfortunately, not that game.

Drop Duchy has a great idea at its core, and when it works, it works. It’s fun, stressful in a good way, and does things I haven’t seen in other games. It just needs a bit more polish to turn a cool concept into a truly great game.

Spellcaster University is a niche magical experience. Can you build a university and work with every faction? Though the tutorial could have been better, trial and error and an excellent UI keep you on track.

Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate wasn't the game for me. Sadly, it is repetitive and the action was too easy. Though it wasn't my cup of tea, I can understand why people will love it.

Creature Keeper has a nice world and the gameplay has promise but its so loosely put together that it all falls apart by the end.

RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic is a faithful remaster of the original two RCT games. Build rollercoasters, customize your theme park, and make money in this gold-standard management simulator.

The Precinct is a fantastic police adventure title. It is grim, gritty, and full of crime. You must rise to the top as you arrest every scumbag and discover the truth behind your dad's death. A must-play indie experience.

In the current era of gaming, straightforward mechanics paired with a linear gameplay loop combine to form a product often misinterpreted as only being able to amount to a shallow, uninteresting time investment. Devout gamers, who now wander an evergrowing market of sophisticated, expansive experiences, deserve the reminder that simple, refined games can be just as enticing, exciting, and artistic as big-budget, cutting-edge titles. This collection is a passionate reminder of such a fact, serving as a love letter to the NES era of colorful, addicting gameplay while also shining a glowing spotlight on how chiptunes fueled so many of those classic experiences.

Amerzone - The Explorer's Legacy is a wonderful remake that will impress modern audiences. The beautiful scenery is captivating and the puzzles will test you. Furthermore, the plot is outlandish but great to experience.

Botany Manor is a fantastic game with an interesting story, great and balanced puzzles, pleasing soundtracks, visually it’s like a painting. it has about 4 hours of content. I definitely recommend trying this game even if you are not a fan of the puzzle genre.

Steredenn: Binary Stars is a high-energy roguelike shoot ’em up with tight mechanics, endless variety, and brutal bosses. While it doesn’t take advantage of PS5-specific features, it runs smoothly and delivers pure arcade joy for fans of challenging gameplay.

This isn’t a management sim; it’s a waiting room with spells. It scratches the surface of genre expectations but never commits to depth or consequence. For players seeking an actual challenge or meaningful engagement, this is not your class. To put it simply: if you came looking to graduate from novice to master, you might want to transfer. In this school, the only lesson is how little a game can offer while still looking like it’s teaching something.

The Great Circle is nothing short of being one of the greatest games ever created with a swashbuckling adventure, brilliant and innovative gameplay, jaw dropping visuals and audio design and score off the charts. All I can say is thank you so much to Machine Games and Bethesda; playing this game felt like taking a time capsule back to my childhood, sat by my dad watching Raiders with not a care in the world. Indiana Jones has found a new lease of life in video games and I’m confident this wont be the last I see of this iconic character.

The deceptively simple gameplay is dangerously addictive, and StarVaders bolts it to a bright, colourful exterior.

I was drawn into this Nordic world from the off. Spirit of the North 2 is a phenomenal game that reinvigorates your childish imagination. Every juicy layer of lore and ever-changing environment was spectacular to witness. Additionally, the cutscenes between the fox and the freed guardians touch your soul.

Shadow of the Orient is an old-school platformer that will appeal to veteran gamers. However, it isn't as polished as I expected and this caused frustration. Additionally, too many bugs and repetitive action undermine the core ideas.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a fantastic Metroidvania Sci-fi adventure. It can be enjoyed alone or locally and online with another. The drip-fed mechanics, exploration elements, and vibrant worlds are a joy to experience. Though the action can sometimes feel overwhelming, this shouldn't put you off. Accordingly, it is a gem of a game and a must-play experience.

Save your time, your sanity, and your PC’s dignity. There are far better ways to relive your Snake nostalgia than this disaster.

Sorry We're Closed is strange but great to play. The dated visuals and stiff controls will not appeal to everyone, but I enjoyed a trip down memory lane.

Tiny Echo gets an 8/10 from me. Not because it’s the most exciting thing I’ve played, but because it has a clear identity, executes it beautifully, and reminds us that sometimes games don’t need to be loud or long to leave an impression.

Lost Records Bloom & Rage is another gem in the now revered catalogue of Don’t Nod Entertainment. Sporting a set of characters that are so wonderful, and propelled by powerful voice acting, the tale will stay long in memory. Gorgeous visuals and a superb soundtrack help make this game a beauty to behold. The camcorder gameplay mechanic is a fantastic addition to an otherwise solid, if not spectacular gameplay design. Whilst the main plot can get bogged down by some minor issues, the characters themselves help seal this game as another memorable adventure.

LONESTAR had potential, but it burns out fast. Once the novelty fades, you’re left with a shallow loop, forgettable unlocks, and no real reason to keep playing. It’s not broken, just hollow — and not worth the effort.

GoobnBalloonsDX is an interesting and fun indie title. However, it will not set the world alight and the repetitive action may disappoint. I liked the old-school approach and the relatively easy to follow mechanics.

The Darkest Files is more than a game; it’s a profound exploration of justice, memory, and the human capacity for both denial and redemption. Through its compelling narrative and innovative gameplay, Paintbucket Games offers players a chance to engage with a pivotal moment in history, challenging them to consider the cost of truth and the courage required to pursue it.

A brilliant dissection of the emotional baggage that comes with time travel. Old Skies showcases excellent writing and a handful of clever gameplay moments, even if it leans on time loops a bit much.

Damn! is a simple twin-stick shooter that will not test you. Though it is repetitive, I liked the stage design and the 5 unique missions on offer. Furthermore, it ran smoothly and I enjoyed the additional arena-based mode.

Frane: Dragons' Odyssey should have been a great old-school RPG experience. However, it fails to hit the mark and much of the gameplay is lacking. Thankfully KEMCO has a great library of amazing RPGs to pick from.

Maliki: Poison of the Past offers a rich blend of strategic gameplay, emotional storytelling, and immersive world-building. Its unique mechanics and compelling narrative make it a standout title for fans of tactical RPGs and story-driven games. The beautiful art style, and incredible score, and light hearted story telling ensures a memorable gaming experience.​

Polterguys: Possession Party is hectic, fun, and great with friends. However, dead servers are holding it back. If the player base improves, this will be a game that goes from strength to strength.

A pointless, mindless nonsense that many people will play for no logical reason. Call me old-fashioned, but I still believe games should involve playing. Not just watching, waiting, or opening your wallet.

Moving Houses is a strange adventure title with a horror twist. Though the gameplay is simple, the story and hidden meaning are wonderful to experience. It may be odd, but it is worth your time and effort.

Commander Quest is an addictive, polished strategy roguelite that understands the appeal of combining smart planning with unpredictable outcomes. It won’t replace the genre’s giants, but it carves out a niche with its breezy pace, clever mechanics, and bite-sized battles that beg for “just one more run.” Whether you’re a deckbuilding enthusiast, a tactics fan, or just looking for a fresh spin on strategy, Commander Quest is well worth your attention.

For fans of games like Gris, or even Undertale, Willow Guard offers a similarly resonant experience—one where the story and atmosphere linger long after the story is wrapped up. It’s a game that rewards patience, contemplation, and empathy. And in a genre often dominated by spectacle, Willow Guard reminds us of the power of subtlety.

Unsolved Case: The Scarlet Hyacinth is a great murder mystery experience. The story, characters, and pacing are well-considered. Moreover, the puzzles are the right side of challenging. Had the hint system been perfectly balanced, this would be a flawless game.

Dripping with atmosphere and a wonderful visual style, REPOSE sadly has little time for its own gameplay.

Sephirothic Stories isn't the best RPG, but I enjoyed it regardless. The characters are colourful and the short play time makes it bearable. Consequently, though there are better examples, it is still fun.

If there’s a criticism to be made, it’s that Chains of Freedom leaves little room for error. It’s very difficult to pull back from an encounter if the ambush it set up wrong. Or getting caught while sneaking which results in every enemy in the encounter opening fire while your team stands in the open. This is an issue because poor planning almost always results in a restart instead of a difficult fight. Still, for fans of tactical strategy games with survival elements, Chains of Freedom is a compelling and thoughtful experience. It succeeds creating encounters that give players a sense of pride when finishing them with casualties. It also succeeds in making players think about resources and whether they’re worth the reward. It certainly succeeded in keeping me hooked throughout the whole journey.

Wild Keepers Rising came out of nowhere and completely blindsided me in the best way possible. It’s a smart, stylish spin on the Vampire Survivors formula that cares about story and strategy. If you’ve burned out on bullet heaven clones but still crave that rush, this game is your next fix. Don’t sleep on it, play it!

Like its sprawling mansion, Blue Prince is loaded with secrets, beautifully organic puzzles and hidden emotional depth, making each run a mysterious treat.

Tempopo is a beautiful and inclusive puzzling experience. No matter your age or ability, you can enjoy this title. Furthermore, the music is delightful and each world is a twisting masterpiece.

Caligo is a bizarre walking simulator that tries something new. The morbid and surreal approach is impressive and I enjoyed the colourful and interesting world. However, it is very short and this prevents it from excelling.

All in all, Synergy is a breath of fresh air in the city-building genre. It doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel entirely, but the way it rethinks environmental interaction and research injects a surprising amount of life into the experience. It’s not just about expanding — it’s about learning, respecting, and coexisting with your environment. The sense of discovery and stewardship that comes from studying the land around you is unlike anything else in the genre right now. If you’re a fan of city builders and looking for something that challenges you to think differently about how you manage your resources and surroundings, Synergy is absolutely worth your time.

Taxi Life - Delivery Driver is a nice addition to the base game. However, the simple mechanics and rudimentary gameplay may disappoint. I enjoyed the first instalment, but expected much more from the DLC.

Overall though, Bionic Bay is a triumph. It’s a masterclass in environmental storytelling, minimalist design, and mechanically rich platforming. It respects your time, rewards your curiosity, and most importantly, it feels incredible to play. Whether you’re here for the art, the puzzles, or just the vibes, there’s something truly special about this game. For fans of Inside, Black The Fall, or Planet of Lana, this is an easy recommendation—but even if you’re new to the genre, Bionic Bay is a great place to start.

To sum up, IXION both fascinated and ultimately truly frustrated me. It’s a mixture of a plot that does nothing to further the sci-fi genre, other than showcase how at odds it is in its portrayal of earth and characters. Then there is a gameplay design that at times works well but then out of nowhere spirals into a frustrating convoluted mess. I wanted to love this game and the visuals tried to lull me into a false sense of security but sadly, the terrible audio and bland musical score helped rip me straight out of that. Some simulation veterans will find some fun but overall, it’s a true shame and a tale of what could have been. Back to earth!

Forever Skies stands as a bold and elegant entry into the survival genre. It doesn’t try to compete with the fast-paced chaos of PvP survival or the crowded silly co-op experiences of similar titles. Instead, it offers something quieter, deeper, and more reflective: a solitary journey through beauty and ruin, driven by discovery and sustained by curiosity. It’s a game that trusts you to take it slow, to get lost, and to find meaning in the silence. For those who love exploration, customizable bases, and stories told through the environment rather than exposition, this is a game that deserves your time. Even if the skies make your knees weak.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection features 14 classic Gameboy-era Yu-Gi-Oh! titles, serving as an incredibly faithful remaster filled with strategy, nostalgia, and card duels.

Monaco 2 is a smart, stylish sequel that evolves the series in meaningful ways. The move to 3D, the dynamic heists, and the emphasis on co-op gameplay make it feel fresh while still capturing the spirit of the original. Whether you’re a returning fan or a newcomer to the world of stylish digital burglary, this is one heist worth pulling off. For the price and the hours of replay-ability I can recommend the game to fans of stealth and pulling of complex plans, as well as those looking for chaos with friends.

Break the Loop is a tough rogue-like that'll break your soul and your balls! The cruel mechanics take some getting used to. However, once you understand the fundamentals, you'll experience a rewarding title.

In conclusion, Koira is a testament to the power of minimalist storytelling, where art and music converge to create a compelling experience. Its engaging gameplay, evocative visuals, and innovative musical interactions make it a standout title in the adventure genre. For those seeking a game that explores the depths of friendship and the beauty of non-verbal communication, Koira offers an unforgettable journey through its enchanted forest.​

What’s perhaps most impressive is how inclusive the game is without being preachy about it. The Vale was built from the ground up to be accessible to blind and low-vision players, but the experience it delivers is powerful for everyone. It demonstrates that great gameplay doesn’t need to rely on visuals—it just needs immersion, purpose, and heart.

Voxile is a fun adventure title that looks spectacular. Voxel games rarely look this good! Furthermore, I loved the creativity and the quests. Unfortunately, it requires some tweaking to maximise its potential.

Finding Frankie is a fun game, but it has obvious shortcomings. It’s a little too easy, fairly short, and there’s not a whole lot of variety in its mechanics or courses. That doesn’t mean that there’s not some good here though. I think for the right price (I am unsure of price. The Xbox store doesn’t have a price listed and I can’t find any info online) you can have a good time with it.

A thoughtful combat RPG that doesn't shy away from the realities of war, both on and off the battlefield.

The Talos Principle: Reawakened updates the acclaimed puzzle classic with impressive visuals, expanded narrative through the new "In the Beginning" expansion, and a robust puzzle editor for community creations. While graphical upgrades significantly enhance immersion, performance issues and uneven visual quality may concern some players. Though debated among original fans, the remaster provides enough fresh content and improvements to justify revisiting or discovering the philosophical puzzle experience anew.

South of Midnight represents everything gaming is about. Gaming at its core is a true amalgamation of all major art-forms. Music, visuals, story, art-style. The ability to take all of those and make something that stands out is no easy feat. South of Midnight not only accomplishes it, it excels at it. Compulsion poured their hearts into making something they were truly passionate about. You feel it every second of it you play.

In short, Characters are forgettable, dialogue is sparse, the and world is lifeless. And the only good thing, the gameplay, is very repetitive.

Morkull Ragast's Rage is a tough action-adventure title. This shouldn't be a problem, but too many issues hold it back. Furthermore, the dialogue doesn't hit the intended mark. It was a shame as it could have been great.

Level Devil - Not a Troll Game is tough but enjoyable. This troll game will push your buttons. However, it is brilliantly rewarding and horribly moreish.

Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is a sombre and tough survival experience. The zombies are fast, cruel, and hungry. However, survival is just around the corner. Consequently, a little hard work and plenty of danger are the perfect ingredients. [Early Access Score = 85]

Atomfall is a brilliant and fresh take on post-apocalyptic survival. It is a beautiful mix of Fallout and souls-like games, with wonderful exploration and mysteries to discover at every turn. Not many games have made me really feel like I am the master of the story and I craft it to how I see fit but this one does! The wonderful recreation of the beautiful Lake District, accompanied with a sci-fi horror twist, makes this game one of the best additions to the genre in recent memory. I implore anyone to go in with as little knowledge as possible to be wowed at each twist and turn of this thought-provoking narrative. Some minor flaws dampen the spirit slightly but this is still Rebellion’s finest work to date.

The Renovator: Origins is a fun horror experience. However, it is a little cliched and some of the puzzles were annoying to solve. Yet, I liked the timing of the jump scares and the grim visuals. If you want a horror title that is uncomfortable, this could tick that box.

KARMA: The Dark World is a bold and thought-provoking experience that excels in storytelling, atmosphere, and immersive world-building. While it may not appeal to those looking for fast-paced action, it is a must-play for fans of psychological thrillers and dystopian narratives.

My Little Universe is a fun-filled adventure title that can be enjoyed alone or with friends. Explore each world and piece them back together one tile at a time. Monsters, vendors, and secrets must be discovered on this wild ride.

Memory Adventure in the Jungle is about as exciting as watching paint dry. It deserves to be left in the past where it belongs.

Wonderfully smooth and frantic combat is the glue that holds Reignbreaker together. It's got a great aesthetic, if a little samey at times, but works hard to keeps things fresh, even if the progression is strangely gated.

Potionomics is an interesting hybrid experience that surprised me. Though it can be tough to spin many plates, the result is a rewarding and challenging fantasy game. Moreover, the dialogue is fun and I loved the setting.

Train Sim World VR New York is an immersive train driving experience. Though there are some minor detail issues, I enjoyed the arcade-style gameplay and the sense of realism. This is a great step in the right direction and I can see the VR landscape evolving nicely as a consequence.

The First Berserker: Khazan is a breath of fresh air in the Soulslike genre. While it carries the core elements that fans expect, it distinguishes itself with enough unique ideas to feel new and exciting. As I mentioned, I’m not amazing at these types of games, and I definitely struggled at times, but I never felt disheartened or that the game was unfairly difficult. In some cases, my own playstyle might have made things harder—I often prioritized fashion over optimal stats—but that only added to the personal challenge and enjoyment. Whether you’re drawn to the game for its rewarding combat, gripping story, or immersive world, it delivers a near-perfect combination of all three. It’s an experience well worth trying, no matter what aspect of the genre you love most.

Mullet Madjack is a tough but enjoyable FPS. Time is not on your side and killing every robot is the only way to survive. The action is cruel, uncomfortable, but brilliantly addictive. It is unusual and a break from the norm. However, this is one title that I absolutely adore!

For all its predictability in terms of plot, Inayah – Life after Gods is still a fun, engaging title that proves gameplay can often make up for what the story lacks. Whether you’re in it for the upgrades or the challenge, there’s something undeniably addictive about this game that will keep you hooked long after the credits roll.

Illusion of L'Phalcia is a decent old-school RPG with a polished dated aesthetic. Unlike some of its peers, this is challenging and will test your tactical mindset.

AI Limit is, at best, an okay Soulslike experience. The combat provides some enjoyable moments, especially when experimenting with different weapons, but the game is ultimately held back by its uninspired world and weak main story. If you’re a die-hard fan of the genre and are willing to overlook its shortcomings, you might find something to enjoy here. But for most players, AI Limit fails to stand out in a sea of better, and now cheaper alternatives.

Spilled! is a calm and simple indie game. The rudimentary imagery and wholesome audio work particularly well. Furthermore, the gameplay is refined but fun. My only complaint is it isn't long enough.

Sonokuni is a manic trip boasting fun, frantic combat. The boss fights don't do it justice, however.

Ultimately, Driving is Hard is a game that will test your limits and perhaps make you question why you keep trying. But for those who enjoy that kind of masochistic fun, the rewards, both in terms of gameplay and absurdity, are worth the struggle. So, buckle up (or don’t, it’s hard either way) and give it a go, but be prepared for the ride of your life.

Pinball FX Volume 8 is a retro pinball experience. This small DLC adds 3 tables to the base game. However, gamers will need to dip their hand in their pocket to get the most from this title. The 3 tables on offer are interesting and challenging. Furthermore, despite the limited content, it is addictive.

These games aren’t long and the beauty in my opinion is failing, learning and getting farther and farther every time. But as a time capsule of mid-‘90s game design and a long-lost piece of gaming history, Rendering Ranger: R² is a must-play for anyone who loves retro action games. It’s a reminder of an era when developers pushed hardware to its limits, delivering experiences that still hold up decades later. If you missed it the first time around, now’s your chance to experience a lost gem that truly deserves its cult status at a more than fair price.
