Cavity Busters is a tough and cruel rogue-like that will test you throughout. It is this challenging concept that'll discourage newcomers. However, if you love a brutal time, then look no further. On top of this, the visuals are grim, the level design is great, and the controls are slick.

Tram Simulator: Urban Transit allows lovers of Train Sim World to experience something slightly different. This management and tram driving title is set in a monstrosly large world. Moreover, there are plenty of routes to plan and 6 unique trams to drive. My only complaint is the poorly highlighted speed limits.

Jurassic World Aftermath offers a thrilling, albeit brief, VR experience. The immersive atmosphere, tense stealth gameplay, and environmental storytelling will keep you on the edge of your seat. However, the repetitive nature of the core gameplay and the lack of combat options might limit its appeal for players seeking a more varied VR adventure.

DE-EXIT - Eternal Matters is a death-inspired title that has a touching and amusing plot. With Voxel graphics, incredible audio, and brilliant controls, this won't disappoint. However, a lack of combat mechanics may annoy some gamers.

There is so much more to see, view, hear and just feel entertained. I did come across a few issues of it shutting down on me, messing up my game. Not starting up, had to unplug my console each time to get it to actually start up correctly. It’s a bit buggy sometimes with the movements and I wanted it to be perfect, but these issues take more time to just get to play the game. However, that is the only issue I faced, the rest is about as great as I could wish it to be!

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.

GENIE Reprise is a stunning, slow-paced walking simulation title. Moreover, it has a fantastic story and each chapter is unique and surreal. Accordingly, it is a wonderfully captivating, fantasy tale. Sadly, though, it has no replay value and this was unfortunate.

Tour de France 2022 is a challenging and strategic sports title. With plenty of modes to choose from, and difficult races to complete, this will test you. If you can overlook the dated imagery and the unfortunately repetitive audio, you'll experience a great title.

The Stellar Blade × Nikke DLC is a stylish, high-energy injection of variety into a game that, for many of us, was starting to feel settled into its post-launch comfort zone. It’s not a massive expansion, there’s no sprawling new story arc or map to explore, but it’s a fun replay-able chunk of content that blends flashy fan service with genuine gameplay change, with a very small price tag. If you loved Stellar Blade but have been waiting for something to break up the melee grind, this crossover is worth a look. If you were hoping for hours of new narrative, you might find it thin. Either way, it’s an encouraging sign that Shift Up is willing to experiment beyond cosmetics and seasonal fluff.

En Garde! Reminds me of classic hack-and-slash games but with the charm of Monkey Island and plenty of modern refinements. It’s genuinely funny, genuinely enjoyable, and full of charm. You will smile and cheer as you dance around the room, duelling with waves upon waves of dim-witted guards. While there is variety in the foes you face, the game only has four chapters, and you will have reached the end in around 4 hours. It’s a shame, but I think it works for fear of ‘too much of the same thing’ if it goes on longer.

FixFox is an exceptionally memorable puzzle adventure game. The characters and environments radiate a wholesome and positive energy, similar to something you’d see in a Pixar short. The gameplay is laid-back and enjoyable, though it does lack some substance in the puzzle solving sequences. If your interested in a game that will tug on your heart strings, or simply want something you can relax too, then I highly recommend you pick this up.

A detailed and wonderful story that sometimes may have long and unnecessary conversations. The gameplay is fun and it’s an interesting combination of real-time combat and turn-based combat, but the real-time part is not so entertaining and the long cutscenes makes the gameplay little. Lovely art design but the textures are very low in detail. The soundtracks are great. Overall, this game is great and its problems can be ignored.

Caverns of Mars: Recharged is an excellent polished version of this addictive 80s title. With incredible aesthetics and fun gameplay, this is an excellent casual experience. However, veteran gamers will wish that the challenges were tougher. Furthermore, it doesn't add as much as other from the Recharged series.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a tough but enjoyable horror title. Choose to be one of the family or escape before it is too late as a victim. Either option is great fun as they test your patience, teamwork, and skills.

Blake: The Visual Novel can be funny and captivating, but it’s also sad and melancholic. Besides the few nitpicks that I’ve already mentioned, I think the game has something for everyone. Whether you’ll see the game’s twists coming your way or not, that’s only something you can answer yourself. My only warning is to not be discouraged by the game’s slow start, as the plot really picks up the pace the further you’re into the game. Whether you’re a huge fan of visual novels or not, I’d really recommend you give this one a shot.

VanillaBeast: Retro Knock-Out! is a wonderfully retro boxing experience. If you love Punch-Out then you'll adore this. Thanks to its pixelated graphics and crude story, this will fill you with nostalgia and make you laugh. My only complaints are the challenging fights and the levels of unadulterated smut.

The game’s hand-animated visuals are vibrant and expressive, capturing the whimsical yet poignant tone of the narrative. Character designs are detailed, and the environments are richly crafted, bringing the world of “Cricket” to life. The art style draws inspiration from classic RPGs, with a contemporary twist that appeals to both nostalgic players and newcomers. Complementing the visual artistry is a thoughtfully composed soundtrack that underscores the emotional journey of the characters. The music adapts to the narrative’s shifts between light-hearted adventures and sombre moments, enhancing the overall storytelling experience.

Cats on Duty is cheap, easy to get a hang of, and can be played in short bursts. I recommend this game to fans of the genre. I cannot really say that it would reach an audience beyond that though. While I have never been a tower defense fan, I did find appeal and enjoyment with this title.

What makes this game special is personality and freedom. It trusts you to push its systems. It rewards curiosity. It lets you look at a distant structure and decide how you want to approach it, not how the designer expected you to.

The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales is a fantastic indie title. Its surreal story, bizarre puzzles and strange environments were amazing. However, its poor controls were frustrating and held it back. Yet, if you can overcome this issue, you'll enjoy a special Game Pass title.

Duck Paradox is a delightful entry into the roguelike genre that offers a unique twist with its blend of precision platforming, humor, and clever mechanics. The ability to slow time, the bullets, and the challenging level design make this game stand out as something genuinely different. While the game may be tough at times, it’s always rewarding, and the lighthearted storyline keeps you smiling even through repeated failures.

Ad Infinitum is a weird but enjoyable adventure title. Moreover, its blend of realities and harsh monsters was wonderfully executed. Alongside this, it is reminiscent of Layers of Fear.

Strange Antiquities is a pleasantly cosy experience, with a nice dusting of horror on top. It doesn't have a tremendous amount of replay value, though.

Railbound is a testing but fun puzzle title. With a charming theme and excellent settings, you'll fall for its charms. Push your brain to its limits as you try to solve every top-down problem.

Session: Skate Sim is a game any skating enthusiast will love, and any curious gamers ought to try. Once you accept the inevitability of failure, it becomes a great example of the satisfaction that comes from perseverance.

Snow Bros. Wonderland is a blast from the past with a modern aesthetic. This 3D platformer combines puzzles, fighting, and a touch of magic. Moreover, it is great with friends. If you love the original, you'll adore the latest title in the franchise.

If your heart flipped at designing elegant pipe systems in Opus Magnum, or debugging logic in SpaceChem, Kaizen: A Factory Story hits similar notes, punctuated by it’s narrative beats, period authenticity, and spotlighted cultural insight. It’s thoughtful, polished, and refreshing in its blend of story and systems. If you’re curious, the built-in demo offers a solid taste of the game’s blend of puzzle rigor and historical charm. If you enjoy methodical puzzle games, value story and context as much as gears and belts, and like the idea of returning to perfect your creations, Kaizen delivers a rich, rewarding, and unexpectedly emotional factory-building experience.

Food Truck Tycoon is a jam-packed game that'll keep you busy. With 150 stages to complete and 3 modes to overcome, there is plenty to see and do. Moreover, it surprised me and I was happy that my preconceived ideas were wrong.
