Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is an era-defining title that proves this franchise is getting better with age. Thanks to the incredible platforming mechanics and smooth combat, you'll fall for its spectacular charms. Additionally, the story is deep, interesting, and wonderfully captivating.

Time Walker: Dark World feels trapped between two genres. Too hands-off to be a proper RPG, too much inventory management to function like an idle game. I'm no lover of Auto Battlers but even disregarding that, Time Walker: Dark World's poor writing and overall blandness made it very unengaging.

Party Animals is a mindless and casual multiplayer experience. Furthermore, it is fun to join your friends as you punch, kick, and bully unsuspecting victims. However, the shameful in-game purchases are unforgivable.

Spellforce: Conquest of Eo is a turn-based strategy title that tries something new. However, it should have stuck with tried and tested mechanics. Yet, the change in genre is enjoyable and I loved the tactical nuance and the varied playstyles.

Overall, Universe for sale is a cute little narrative game that does a wonderful job of bringing you alongside its simple story, even if there are a few frustrations here and there.

Hand in Hand is a gorgeous walk through an intriguing world, even if I wasn't always sure what was going on. It has a great central gameplay idea but fumbles the execution with simplistic puzzles and frustrating boss fights.

Gangs of Sherwood is a cooperative action adventure title that had great potential. Unfortunately, strange mechanics and repetitive action hold it back. However, if you have a great group of friends, you can enjoy it casually.

SteamWorld Build is a fun and interesting city builder. Moreover, it remains faithful to the franchise. Additionally, the gameplay has a gentle learning curve and it is easy to play. However, the lack of difficulty and the short game length will disappoint some gamers.

Shivering Stones is a relaxing and shallow puzzle title. Unfortunately, much of the action outstays its welcome. Luckily, though, it is inexpensive and can be enjoyed casually.

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.

Finis is an unusual puzzle experience. Furthermore, it has some interesting ideas. However, it is flawed and this holds it back. Additionally, its short playtime and simple problems will frustrate you.

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.

Football Manager 2024 Console edition is a phenomenal addition to this much-loved franchise. Furthermore, its layers of depth and new gameplay options complement the tried and tested approach. Accordingly, it is addictive and tough to put down.

Aetheris is a visually wonderful strategy RPG with a strong core combat system. It doesn't quite blend its strategy half with its roguelite half, though, but it's an enjoyable ride full of lizard wizards.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a fantastic open-world adventure with a compelling story. Moreover, it is filled with intriguing quests and a fantastic world to explore. Additionally, learning new skills and discovering interesting animals and plants is fascinating. However, the monstrously large open world can be overwhelming.

Blood West is a cruel and tough stealth FPS. Moreover, its retro approach and slow-gameplay will appeal to older gamers. However, its brutal learning curve will put off many would-be fans.

House Flipper 2 is a great life-sim that will impress fans of the franchise. However, its catalogue isn't as impressive at its predecessor. Yet, with some time, this will change. Accordingly, though I wanted more furniture and building materials, I was impressed by the level of details and the fun tasks at hand.

Kona II: Brume is a dark and oppressive first-person narrative experience. Moreover, it outdoes its predecessor and will impress fans of the series. My only complaint is the uninspiring combat. This element felt like an afterthought and should have been better incorporated into the gameplay.

Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos is a fantastic addition to a much-loved franchise. With open-world elements and familiar farming mechanics, this is a wonderful game to play. The only negative is the action can be sparse and slow-paced.

Soul's Spectrum has a great central gameplay mechanic and a nice story built around it. It's held back by some RPG Maker jankiness and a general feeling of rushing through things. Still, the strong premise left me wanting more.

Astral Ascent is a tough and cruel rogue-like that'll test your patience and skills. Additionally, it is filled with lore, interesting characters, and fascinating level design. However, it is so tough that it'll defeat many gamers.

Make Way is a crazy racing game that can be enjoyed alone or with others. Moreover, the insane action doesn't stop until there is a winner. Therefore, you must build a never-ending race course that is filled with stunts, traps, weapons, and brutal corners. It is maddening, challenging, but oh so addictive.

A Perfect Day is a captivating visual novel. Moreover, the melancholy plot plods along at a comfortable rate. As such, this is a relaxing albeit repetitive title that surpassed my expectations. However, its laid-back approach will restrict its appeal.

Haunted House is a rogue-like title that focuses on stealth. Moreover, it utilises a repetitive gameplay loop and a simplistic approach. As such, this prevented it from excelling and that was disappointing. However, it is enjoyable on a rudimentary level and should be enjoyed casually.

TEVI offers up an adorable and fascinating world. The movement feels great, exploration is rewarding and the soundtrack is fantastic. Combat is unfortunately a bit too flat and unbalanced and there are a few tone issues. Still, TEVI is a cracking Metroidvania and the world is a delight to explore.

Back to the Future DLC is a fantastic addition to the base game. Moreover, the nostalgia-filled action will make you smile. Consequently, if you love either franchise, you'll adore this. However, the audio drove me crazy.

The Room is a classic for good reason. The nice puzzles and atmosphere have made the transition to the Switch relatively unscathed, though the controls have suffered a little.

Overpass 2 is a challenging racing title that won't be for everyone. However, if you like to push yourself to the limit then this is the game for you. Yet, a tough learning will put off many would-be gamers.
