    Freshly Frosted
    Freshly Frosted is a fun and sweet puzzle title. With an array of mechanics to overcome and many doughnuts to ice, you must be logical and patient to be victorious. Furthermore, it's wonderfully surreal and calm thanks to the pastel colour palette, serene music, and slow gameplay.

    Spacelines from the Far Out is an excellent cooperative space sim. Design your transport agency and make as much money as possible. Work solo or with friends to appease passengers, repair your vehicle, and arrive safely at your destination. It is tough, fun, and filled with madness.

    The Casting of Frank Stone
    The Casting Of Frank Stone is an evolution of the formula Supermassive Games have been cultivating for years. A strong diverse cast with wonderful voice acting helps propel the intense and chilling moments on display in this horror tale. Great quality of life improvements and innovations create strong benchmarks for interactive games. Whilst a rushed and muddled final act and the lack of co-op hurt the games overall appeal, there’s more than enough for horror fans to enjoy. Dead By Daylight fans will have an absolute blast with this game, as I did. See you in the fog!

    Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun - Aiko's Choice
    For fans of the original game, Aiko’s Choice is a solid, if not spectacular return to the series. A middling story and short length threaten to derail the game but thankfully with its addictive gameplay and gorgeous visuals, this game is certainly worth fans’ time. Coupled with superb sound design and a beautiful atmospheric score, the return to feudal Japan is a positive one.

    Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft
    Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Staring Lara Croft is a fantastic trip down memory lane. Furthermore, the arenas, puzzles, and gameplay are as good today as they ever were. However, the controls are somewhat problematic and that was a shame. Yet, these issues are minor and will not undermine your enjoyment of a dated but fascinating adventure title.

    Kandria is a grim and melancholy platforming experience that'll fascinate you from the off. With interesting characters, a sombre plot, and excellent aesthetics, it is worthy of your time. Its only downfall is its lack of a skill tree, its lacklustre combat, and its minimal upgrade elements.

    Tales from Toyotoki: Arrival of the Witch
    Tales From Toyotoki: Arrival Of The Witch is a feat in visual art design and a compelling story of love, friendship and social hardships mixed in with fantasy mystery. With this being a visual novel, gameplay here is non-existent so it’s important to set your expectations right, but if you are looking for a gripping and intriguing story, this is the game for you. While I wish the game could have been just a little bit longer, the audio design and soundtrack help propel this into a truly memorable experience.

    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.

    Teardown is easily one of the most creative and fun games I have played in very a long time. It’s a prime example of showcasing what is truly possible through the video game medium, and while the campaigns narrative is easily forgettable, the uniqueness of its gameplay more than make up for it. If you are looking for a game that is just downright entertaining, you could do a lot worse than Teardown.

While slow in pace is still thoroughly enjoyable. If you like dystopian fiction, if you like puzzle-based point-and-click adventures, if you like strong narrative then Beholder 3 might just be the game for you. It’s one I will be playing again and again.

    Ingression: Platforming with Portals
    Ingression is difficult, but it is satisfying to play. The levels I have played are unlike anything I have experienced in a platformer. Its flawless combination of platforming and portal gameplay is an excellent homage to the games that came before them while creating something unique and fun to play. While sometimes you can get disoriented by the portals, and the story is serviceable, the gameplay is excellent and a must-play for platformer fans everywhere.

Likewise, the sound design and original OST accompany the games conceptual thematic phenomenally well.

And at £15, I cannot recommend this game enough.

    Frog Legs is the kind of game that feels like it was made on a dare—and maybe it was. It doesn’t aim to be polished, or consistent, or even stable. But what it lacks in structure, it makes up for in sheer chaotic ambition. It’s seven games duct-taped together, soaked in nostalgia, then lit on fire by a fart joke.

    Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles 2
    Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a tour de force in how to bring anime into the gaming space. A compelling faithful retelling of a story fans love, superb combat and stunning visual and audio design make this game a really special experience. Whilst the lack of additions may upset some returning players, along with the weak gear system, there’s still so much fun to be had in this game. You can really feel the love and care the developers have poured into this sequel! See you in the arena!

    Mr. Run and Jump
    Mr. Run and Jump is a precise speedrunning title that will make you scream! However, the Dynamic Assistance makes the action bearable. Though this isn't as tough as Super Meat Boy, it'll still test your patience.

    Mia and the Dragon Princess
    Mia and the Dragon Princess is an excellent FMV title. Despite its minor issues, I loved this captivating and often witty endeavour. Its short playtime mitigates tedium and the colourful characters and fun acting will make you chuckle throughout. If you love the genre, then you must give this a go!

    Is Expedition Zero good? It’s better than you think. Reasonably priced, offers some unique features and very creepy. Definitely a worthy entry into the survival horror genre and with frequent patching the bugs are being ironed out.

    Terraformers
    While Terraformers has its faults like the unclear tutorials that don’t explain the mechanics of the game very well, it is overall still a very fun game. This is thanks to the fantastic presentation, the many unlockable options and difficulty options leading to a very replayable game, and the challenging yet enjoyable gameplay. I strongly recommend giving this game a go. While it has a slow start, I encourage you to push through its grueling start to find a fantastic game with a lot of depth and an emotional soundtrack.

    Beyond The Ice Palace 2
    Beyond the Ice Palace 2 is a gritty and tough action platformer. If you can cope with the brutality, you will enjoy the gothic setting and the captivating lore. It is cruel and unfair, but the action is oddly rewarding.

    Swords & Souls Legacy Collection
    These old ported Flash games were a great reminder of the old time. Places like Newgrounds and Kongregate still stand and are doing great things, but it’s nice to revisit the old stick figure shows and Stickman Adventure games. New times aren’t completely bad, even SoulGames made a new game for Steam called Neverseen. It has a lot of what they specialized in, and has their signature art as well. But Swords and Souls Legacy Collection is definitely good to playthrough.

    Closer the Distance
    Closer The Distance is a hard game to get through. Not because it is difficult but because of the emotional rollercoaster it took me on. Each character has their grief that the player has to help them through, and the interactions between the various characters in Yesterby are intricate and complicated. It’s a powerful narrative, held back by some clunky controls on the console and some lulls in the gameplay. The game is still vital in pushing game narratives in directions that I don’t see too often. This game is worth checking out if you can handle the emotional journey it takes you on.

    Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer
    Slayers X truly is a throwback to the past. For players seeking a retro arcade shooter, all the ingredients are here but with added vulgarity and punk rock mayhem. This is never going to blow people away with its gameplay and visuals but it doesn’t care and I can truly admire a game that just wants to have fun. Whilst the story is forgettable, the soundtrack kept me wanting to replay levels just to hear those songs again. In a gaming world where developers are constantly trying to iterate and innovate, it is bizarrely refreshing to experience a game that is so old school. See you in the 90’s!

    Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is a wonderful RPG. A spiritual successor to Suikoden, that will capture your imagination immediately. I loved the plot, the characters, and the modern aesthetics. Sadly, it isn't as original as Suikoden, but it is still worthy of your time.

    Resonant Blade
    Although I will say that I had a good time with Resonant Blade, I had some issues that I feel like addressing. This might have been an issue on my end, but playing this game with a controller was a bit difficult. It played fine until I reached a certain point where I had to hold down a button. It was as if it was treating my keyboard and my controller as being active at the same time. From then on, I had to use a keyboard for the rest of the game (which wasn’t too bad to play on either). Thankfully, the developer is making constant updates to the game to fix issues. If you enjoyed this game or not, be sure to leave helpful feedback to the developer. Overall, I would recommend this game if you’re looking for a unique 2D action adventure game.

    Garden Witch Life is a wholesome sim title with a glorious fantasy edge. This slow-paced affair lets you explore at your own pace.

The only negatives are the lack of direction and the occasional bugs.

    Overall, “DIG – Deep in Galaxies” is a solid game that provides hours of entertainment. The multiplayer system is a great addition, and the graphics are lovely. The roguelike mechanics keep things challenging and unpredictable, although the learning curve can be a bit steep for new players. The game can feel repetitive after a while, but the distinctive 2D landscapes and ecosystems of each planet make up for it.
