    Persona 5 Tactica is a fantastic twist on a much-loved franchise. However, the gameplay isn't as challenging as I'd have liked. Yet, the excellent visuals, jazzy audio, and spectacular story are captivating.

    Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip is a silly but captivating adventure game. I loved the amusing dialogue and the zany characters. Furthermore, the quests are interesting and exploring the world was great!

    Flame Keeper is a fun little game to play. It is a welcome addition to the roguelite genre. The combat is simple but fun and the abilities you can unlock are satisfying to use against enemies. The boss fights are challenging and a fun time. The tower defense type wave where you defend the cauldron for five minutes is also a welcome addition and can help keep things somewhat fresh after completing the other normal waves. Some of the levels can get repetitive over time as it does follow the same formula and waves. The story is also forgettable but the art style can keep player’s attention. The game is only about 5-6 hours long, depending on how many times you may die in the game but it is a reasonable length for this type of game. Flame Keeper is a good time for any interested in roguelite games.

    Overall, Project Songbird deserves its very positive Steam rating. The game gets a lot right, particularly its horror and its narrative. The game’s flaws are too minor to outweigh its positives. I can easily recommend this one to anyone who is a fan of psychological horrors with a story. The narrative and deeper message perhaps aren’t life changing, but I do think many creatives will be able to relate in some way—hopefully without the trauma and the monsters. Just remember that your art, whatever that may look like, is for you. Even if there isn’t a whole lot of fans or popularity gained, don’t forget who the artist is—yourself.

    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.

    Cats and the Other Lives is a fantastic pixel art point-and-click adventure. Moreover, it twists the perspective as you play the role of the family cat. Can you explore your surroundings and piece together the dark and sinister past?

    Gunborg: Dark Matters is a fantastic arcade twin stick shooter. You'll have to tackle many hard-hitting levels while destroying every alien you face. Nearly every element is spot on and this makes it worthy of both your time and money.

    Leenzee has built an excellent foundation with Wuchang: Fallen Feathers and proven themselves as worthy competitors in the soulslike space. Although the game may not deliver meaningful innovation, it was able to nail the trademark combat and exploration fans have grown to love. The future is bright for these developers, and a sequel could propel them to new heights.

    Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition is a great walk down memory lane. I love the gameplay, the dated visuals, and the incredible number of levels. However, the audio overhaul was not necessary.

    A strategy game for impatient people. The core gameplay is fun and the graphics are lovely, though it does have a few balance issues.

    Imagine Earth really hits home with its thought-provoking narrative and overarching themes that really are close to reality. With gorgeous visuals and game design, great sound and a serene and calming soundtrack, Imagine Earth is an impressive game when everything is going for it. Crashes and a chaotic UI can hinder that experience but overall it’s one I really would recommend checking out. To infinity and beyond!

    Conceptually, Chernobylite will intrigue you. Its blend of Sci-Fi and clichéd moments are complemented by authentic dialogue and real to life visuals. There is much to love about this survival game and you’ll soon forgive the shortcomings.

    If you’re here for single-player storytelling, look elsewhere. Battlefield 6’s campaign is a soulless tour through beautiful wreckage. But if you crave the franchise’s signature chaos, the thunder of artillery, the synchronized madness of squads, the sheer cinematic energy of modern warfare, this is Battlefield. The refined gunplay, the expanded mode variety, and the potential of Portal make it a great comeback in the franchise.

    It’s got brains, it’s got personality, and it definitely has enough jelly to go around..Not perfect, but I’d still recommend it. Jelly Troops has a good idea, a good loop, and just enough charm to make the wait times worth it.

    Windjammers 2 is a complete blast that excels in the same way that the original 1994 neo geo title did and with the local and online modes it really is an easy recommendation for fun pick-up-and-play evenings with others, but there are just a few niggling gameplay issues that prevent this from fulfilling its full potential.

    The Mooseman paints a beautiful and surreal image of mythology. Thanks to its striking monochromatic colour palette, atmospheric audio, and simple mechanics, you'll fall for its charms. Stunning to look at, endearing to experience, but painfully short.

    Together We Live is a good visual novel with a strange setting. Though the grim atmosphere may be stomach turning, I liked the plot. However, the lack of choices may upset fans of the genre.

    DC's Justice League: Cosmic Chaos is an amusing action-adventure title. The world is in danger and the Justice League must stand up and be counted. However, an all-powerful trickster has other ideas and you must battle this childish fool if you wish to be victorious. Search lairs, kill fishy monsters, and tackle familiar villains in this colourful and interesting DC game.

    Astrea: Six Sided Oracles swaps out cards for dice, which turns out to be a stroke of brilliance. It's an enjoyable and thoughtful roguelike, although the world does feel a little cold at times. Still, it made me seriously think about my deck, which is almost unique, and the core gameplay loop is enjoyable enough to keep people playing for many hours.

    Blow It Up's voxel-based physics make for some wonderful destruction, even if it can be a little unpredictable. The level creator is an excellent feature, though the art does fall a little flat.

    REDACTED is a fun but challenging roguelike experience. The RNG elements may piss you off. Furthermore, the grindy layer could be too much. However, if you can work through these elements, you'll love the action that lies ahead.

    Despite being a basic port of a title that lays smack-bang in the middle of a gargantuan series, Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero manages to be both approachable and thrilling, resulting in a classic 2D JRPG that shows up some of the latter 3D entries in both story and design, and has me excited to play the Trails series again.

    Stolen Hearts: Wolf Knight is a precision platformer that is tough but fair. Furthermore, the gameplay evolves as you absorb the power of each creature you kill. This added mechanic changes the way you think and the surrounding world. However, if you lack patience, this won't be the game for you.

    Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a fantastic looter shooter that enhances the Borderlands franchise. What's more, it utilises many much-loved mechanics and has some new elements chucked in. The combination of FPS action and the isometric overworld work perfectly to deliver the crazy plot. Alongside this, the acting is fantastic and you'll chuckle repeatedly from start to finish.
