Paper Ghost Stories: 7PM is a fantastic but short horror title. This is the first instalment in this weird anthology, and I can't wait to see how the franchise evolves. With amazing visuals and creepy music, you'll be uncomfortable from start to finish.

CloverPit doesn’t live up to the dizzy heights of Balatro. Although I enjoyed it, it doesn’t grab you in the same way. Instead, it felt more casual and a little less powerful. Accordingly, despite my slight reservations, I enjoyed it and recommend buying it.

Lost Ruins is a 2D side-scrolling survival action game, where you play as a young girl that has awoken in a strange and foreign place without her memories. With the aid of weapons, spells and tonics, and the guidance of the magical and mysterious Beatrice, you will explore a dark and dangerous world, battle hideous monsters, and topple incredible bosses.

TEN is a hardcore platformer that will drive you insane. Every level is brutal as it will test your reflexes, memory, and patience. It is an excellent, albeit short game that will test the greatest of gamers.

Humankind is a 4X strategy title that falls a little short. With too many menus and confusing mechanics, it is hard to pick up. However, it can be tested on Game Pass and that is a massive positive.

Overall, I enjoyed Steel Century Groove and can definitely see myself continuing to play every so often. It isn’t the best game out there, but it certainly is not the worst. I would recommend this to players who are fans of rhythm games as it goes above and beyond what your typical rhythm game might look like.

Microtopia offers a fresh take on the factory-building genre. Its focus on efficient movement, worker lifespans, and creative logistics management makes it stand out from its peers. The challenge of creating optimized pathways without the reliance on traditional conveyor belts provides a unique gameplay experience that rewards careful planning and experimentation. While there are some rough edges, Microtopia is already a promising entry into the genre, and for those looking for a new challenge in automation and strategy, it’s well worth diving into. My main issue with Microtopia is the same as other games of the sort. every few hours I see my mistakes and either delete to rebuild, or start over.

ZERO Sievert is an enjoyable game with its deep world-building, fun gameplay, and great presentation. However, it struggles with some aspects of its presentation and its teaching tools. Although, this game is still in early access and might have changes in the future that fix these problems. Overall, ZERO Sievert is still a very fun time. If you are a fan of the Survival genre of games I recommend giving it a go.

Arietta of Spirits is perfect if you’re looking for a short pretty RPG to tackle on a rainy weekend inside. But if you’re looking for something with more substance, I’d say this little Indie misses the mark. I enjoyed this game despite its small flaws.

Space Robinson is a fast-paced thrill ride all the way through. It doesn’t easily get old, but can get frustrating if one lacks patience and an acceptance of failure. It’s difficult, but a lot of fun, with a killer soundtrack to go along with it.

Why pizza? is a bizarre platform puzzle title that is full of surreal images. Its plot makes no sense, but its action is familiar and enjoyable. Excellent aesthetics and smooth controls ensure that you'll fall for its charms while loving the madness of each level.

Zapling Bygone is a cruel Metroidvania title. What's more, there are plenty of collectables on offer and a range of skulls to find. Consequently, it'll test your ability and keep you on edge throughout. My only annoyance is the sheer difficulty, and the lack of guidance can become frustrating.

Heretic’s Fork is a hellishly fun, visually striking game with a killer soundtrack that will appeal to fans of roguelites and deckbuilders. Despite its grind-heavy progression and somewhat passive gameplay, it delivers a memorable experience. If you’re ready to embrace the chaos of Hell and enjoy an epic soundtrack while at it, this game is worth the plunge.

If you’re in it for the spectacle of giant robots and tactical combat, MechWarrior 5: Clans might just scratch that itch. Just be prepared to forgive its many missteps and focus on what truly matters—making things go boom.

Virgo Verses the Zodiac is a tough but rewarding JRPG. This isn't a title for newbies of the genre. However, if you are a veteran, and you wish to test your skills, this will push you all the way.

Life of Delta is a touching and enjoyable point-and-click adventure. However, the short playtime and janky mechanics will disappoint. Yet, the beautiful audio, exceptional settings, and interesting puzzles override these shortcomings.

A sleek and good-looking zombie smashing experience. Great combat and sense of humour are shackled to a sadly formulaic feel.

Winters' Expansion is a great addition to the base game. With an interesting but short story option and the phenomenal arcade Mercenaries mode, there is something for everyone. Sadly, though, the third-person viewpoint created issues, and the atmosphere was impacted as a consequence. However, it is still a great purchase and is worthy of your money and time.

While there is a decent game and some great ideas in Deadcraft, its ambitious attempt at a big interactive world and long playing time forces the gameplay’s narrow formula into constant repetition, all while leaving the best till last, which dulls the middle of the experience and risks players not finishing the game.

Necrosmith 2 combines roguelike and tower defense elements to deliver a fun necromancer simulator. The game involves micromanagement of your resources, minions, and enemies. It is a nice RTS spin on the roguelike genre that is starting to feel crowded. However, there are drawbacks, such as some stagnant moments in the run where you are waiting for more resources or enemies to appear. Building different body combos to create the best minions to fight off enemies is fun, but it can be annoying when you’re close to having a good minion but are one part off. Despite that, finding a new secret recipe or tower upgrade made up for the waiting games I had to do. For those looking for a fun tower defense game or a roguelike, especially one that is good for Steam Deck, Necrosmith 2 is up your alley.

If you are a fan of challenging platformers, and are in desire for a queer-friendly plot, Kitsune Tails is an excellent option to enjoy.

It’s not for everyone. The content is undeniably triggering for some, and its gameplay is minimal. But that’s missing the point. Ratshaker isn’t about “fun” in a traditional sense. It’s an interactive short film, a psychological experiment, a crude catharsis. For the price of a coffee and less time than a sitcom episode, Ratshaker offers a one-of-a-kind experience that will stick with you long after the credits roll, whether you want it to or not.

Ultra Pixel Survive is a survival RPG with an old-school aesthetic. What's more, there are plenty of characters to unlock and loads of monsters to fight. However, a lack of content and repetitive action holds it back. Yet, it is oddly moreish, and I enjoyed my time with it.

If you like SRPGs then yes. This is a solid entry from Nippon Ichi Software and has been a popular entry into the genre since its PS2 days. The control system can take some getting used to as there are a lot of menus to navigate, and the voice acting is a little over the top. There isn’t much really to complain about though, it’s a solid experience and there’s a lot of fun to be had trying to reclaim your power and Netherworld!

Mario vs Donkey Kong is a delightful and captivating game that brings classic characters to life on the Nintendo Switch. With its captivating gameplay, charming graphics, and nostalgic appeal, it offers a fantastic experience for players of all ages.

Call of Duty: MW3 is a fantastic multiplayer experience. However, its lack of originality and the short story mode were disappointing. However, if you love nostalgia-infused action, you'll adore every multiplayer map you play. Unfortunately, though, this is far from being the best COD title ever.

WRATH: Aeon of Ruin channels the original Quake and fills its levels with interesting guns and gross enemies. Combat feels great - especially the shotgun - and there's a lot of content to sink your teeth into, though it feels a little formulaic by the end. The limited save system is quite the misstep, but doesn't detract from the fun too much.

Pocket Witch is a tricky little precision platformer that'll make you scream. With an excellent old-school aesthetic and basic gameplay mechanics, this straightforward platformer lulls you into a false sense of security. Furthermore, the sloppy controls unnecessarily add to the frustration. However, once you master this issue, you'll enjoy a rewarding but tough experience.
