    Legend of Keepers is a reverse dungeon-crawler with rogue-lite mechanics. Consequently, it is often cruel, unfair, and tough. However, it is moreish, unusual, and interesting. As such, it surprised me and I struggled to put it down once I got into it.

    Fallen Legion: Revenants is an improvement on its predecessor. With slick swordplay, a more fulfilling narrative, and excellent settings, this is one sequel that'll impress you immediately.

    If you love the detective genre, then you will adore the challenge that awaits. With some interesting and bizarre crimes to solve, colourful characters and vivid era-specific imagery, it’s a treat for the senses. However, even with all these positives, it was missing something! I can’t ignore the rinse and repeat character models, the rehash of many scenarios, and the lack of interaction. It left me wanting more, as I could see its potential. Despite its shortcomings, I recommend you to buy it.

    Europa is a heartfelt and beautiful adventure title. However, it is far too short. This was a shame as I loved the vibrant world and the interesting story. Accordingly, I wish the developers had made it much longer.

    Encased is a decent RPG with extraordinary worldbuilding. It might not reinvent the wheel, but it certainly brings a worthwhile adventure that deserves to be experienced.

    MindsEye has gone through a rotten time. The early reviews were fair, but the developer has worked incredibly hard to make their game work. It is now fun, challenging, and the plot is great to witness. Although some will turn up their noses, I think you should give it a go.

    Floppy Knights is a fun, whimsical, and colourful deck-building title. Its story is silly and its mechanics are easy to understand. What's more, it is moreish, challenging, and can be played casually.

    Winter Burrow is a cute and wholesome adventure title. However, it treads familiar ground and this may disappoint hunters of original action. I enjoyed the calm and adventurous moments, the simple quests, and the visuals.

    Super Mega Zero is a tight precision and puzzle platformer with shoot 'em up elements. Simply touch an upgrade and switch forms to go from classic, straight-forward platforming to the more puzzle-like action number system or Shoot' Em Up gameplay.

    For me personally, the lack of technical issues elevated the experience from “worth checking out” to genuinely engrossing. While others may remember their time with Echoes of the End as marred by stutter and frustration, I’ll remember mine as a seamless journey through a beautifully crafted world, one that managed to capture both my eyes and my emotions without ever breaking immersion. So here’s my verdict: if you’re fortunate enough to avoid the technical troubles that others report, you’re in for a rewarding adventure. Echoes of the End may not redefine the genre, but in the right conditions, it proves that sometimes a game doesn’t need to be perfect to leave a lasting impact.

    Drill Deal - Oil Tycoon is a wonderful Voxel simulation title. Manage an oil rig in an array of colourful and dangerous locations. Strike up deals, battle pirates, and overcome every QTE. It's fast-paced, demanding, but oh so moreish.

    Cookie Cutter is a gory Metroidvania that is great for veterans and newcomers alike. With evolving gameplay and some classic genre tropes, this will keep you entertained. Furthermore, the mindless violence is captivating. However, it doesn't break the mould and that was disappointing.

    King of the Arcade is a fun 80s-inspired romp. With colourful characters, interesting games, and an underdog story, this will make you laugh throughout. I adored the unique take on classic arcade titles and the short but sweet plot. My only complaint is that it isn't long enough. Consequently, I hope the developers add more content.

    Zooseum doesn't evolve the basic formula of Two Point Museum too much, but the animals are adorable, the simulation gameplay is deep and the humour balances the perfect amount of chuckles and groans.

    Long Live the Queen has so many skills you need to achieve to be your best. Plenty of skills which you will be required to focus on and gain experience. The better you do, the better the ending of the game results will become, as you will be an awesome leader and a great Queen.

    Monster High Skulltimate Secrets is an adventure platforming title for kids aged 7+. This colourful and monster-filled affair has a straightforward plot and some interesting cinematic. Furthermore, the rudimentary platforming elements and collectables ensure that younger players can enjoy every moment. Word of warning; Parents will hate it!

    Dance of Cards is a ruthless adventure where twists and turns punctuate the action. Though I wasn't a fan of the finale, the luck and card games kept me interested throughout. If you want a challenge, then this could be the game for you.

    Severed Steel is a brutally fast and unforgiving FPS. You must use your special powers to slow down time, kill your enemies, and be victorious. Though many of the stages are short, there are plenty of reasons to return. With smooth and unusual gameplay, this is a bizarre but moreish title to tackle.

    Despite these shortcomings, No Umbrellas Allowed offers a unique and engaging experience for players who enjoy narrative-driven sims with a dash of mystery. The atmosphere of the rain-drenched city, the intrigue surrounding the Fixerain, and the act of uncovering hidden value in everyday objects all contribute to a memorable journey.

    Farming Simulator 25 is a relaxing but complex simulation experience. If you have played the franchise, you'll feel right at home. However, newbies may feel swamped by the content and lack of hand-holding. Yet, once you get over this hurdle, it is wonderful to play.

    Dragon Ruins II is a brilliant old-school experience that takes you back to classic dungeon crawling gameplay. It is dark, pixelated, and amazingly retro.

    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.

    Tactical Takedown won’t dethrone the gaming heavyweight triple A games, but it doesn’t need to. This instalment into the turtles is a fan-friendly and original turn-based spin on the beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. For strategy newcomers, Tactical Takedown is accessible; and for genre veterans, it is a palate-cleanser with nostalgia and fun.

    While Dusk Diver 2 might fall short of greatness due to the battle system and dungeon design missing a few features, there is still magic here – with its relaxing atmosphere, personality in spades and still addictive action – making this a good choice for those who wish to indulge in a harmless and enjoyable action RPG without the need to schedule an entire month to complete it.

    Wall World is a rogue-lite adventure title set in a sci-fi environment. Furthermore, the action is challenging and it will test you from the off. Though I loved it, the typical genre grind can become repetitive.

    This gaming miracle is more than just a historical footnote to marvel at from afar with a neat combo system and gorgeous 2D aesthetic that makes it a must-play for platforming enthusiasts. There are also some nice touches such as a remixed soundtrack and some notes from the developer which are all gravy and should most definitely garner the publisher some well deserved praise, but even so, it’s still a shame more effort wasn’t made to add more playable content, even if a lower price point attempts to soften the blow.

    Operator 112 is a fun but challenging experience. The simple concept can be deceiving, but the never-ending problems and management elements keep you busy. If you love hectic action, then you'll enjoy this tactical simulation game.

    Barbie Project Friendship is an upbeat game that focuses on feel-good action. Moreover, it is perfect for younger gamers as the missions and mini-games are easy to complete. Adults will find it repetitive and tedious. Yet, its intended audience will adore every colourful second.

    Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club will make fans of the franchise smile. It is fun, silly, and easy to play. Furthermore, I love the story, the characters, and the simple mini-games. The perfect game for kids and lovers of Peanuts.
