PowerSlave Exhumed is an old-school FPS with a bizarre theme. Enjoy venturing into Ancient Egypt as you fight aliens, find treasures, and save the world. Sadly, it won't test veteran gamers but its great for everyone else.

Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge is a cozy, slow-paced creature collector all about restoring the wetlands and providing a safe and fun sanctuary for frogs.

RunBean Galactic is a fun, challenging, and moreish indie title. Furthermore, its simple concept and basic traps are deceptively understated. Can you avoid every obstacle and survive for as long as possible? Keep on running in this Flappy Bird-like endeavour.

As an indie game Tormented Souls is never going to reach Bloodborne or Resident Evil level of polish but that’s ok. Despite its lower end graphics (compared to the latest titles on current generation, and even last generation consoles) it holds up. It holds up because it plays on that nostalgia for the survival horror games of old.

KASSO GAIDEN: Escape from the Skaterverse is a bold experiment that mostly succeeds. Its flaws, which are just technical hiccups and a punishing difficulty, but that’s just a small prices to pay for the sheer joy of its movement system. It’s a game for people who miss the arcade era but want something that feels modern and stylish.

It’s a well-thought-out reimagining of the ancient pastime of kings, generals and geniuses. So, for lovers of challenging puzzles, for lovers of chess, and for lovers of some light masochism; There is SokoChess.

Kid Ball Adventure is a straightforward retro platformer with a simple approach. Bounce across 100 stages, avoid the obstacles, and defeat the dragon. However, this is easier said than done, as precision is necessary and luck is a must.

Vivid World improved massively in many areas compared to its predecessor. The many combinations made each units, gems, and orbs different from the last dungeon, which completely removed the boredom factor. Whilst it's one of the shortest and smallest RPGs I've ever played, it was an enjoyable experience and one most fans of the genre would get a lot of fun out of.

Kansei: The Second Turn HD is a fantastic sequel and a wonderful supernatural detective visual novel. With interesting characters, a grand setting, and many red herrings, solving this crime is no mean feat.

Deck based games have been growing in popularity over time and the Indie scene has done a wonderful job of helping the genre gain traction. The ability to play both online and in local multiplayer is something I would love to see in more games moving forward. The most unfortunate thing here has to be the difficulty found in Yomi 2 since this could be detrimental to a new players experience. I was unable to find a difficulty slider but I believe this would be beneficial for the story mode. This would be a nice way to experience the game whiteout having to deal with the consistent failure that is to be found here. While it was a fun experience and one I’m glad I had, it is hard to recommend for those who would like a casual experience.

Nova Strike is a tough old-school shoot 'em-up that will make you scream. Furthermore, the rogue-lite elements add an unhappy edge to an already cruel experience. Though it wasn't for me, I know many people will enjoy the challenge.

The game is a joy to play! Even as impressive as Castle on the Coast maybe it isn’t a long game.

Boss Rush Mythology is a tough arena-based Souls-like fighting game. With nothing but bosses to fight, you have to be on top of your game to succeed. Furthermore, you must study every strength and weakness as you tackle each cruel mythological overlord.

Paper Cut Mansion pleasantly surprises with its horror take on the papercraft art style of more family-friendly platformers. If you’re a fan of puzzle games with a bit of combat thrown in, it’s one I recommend.

Sclash is a simple side-scrolling experience. However, though it is straightforward, the familiar tale is fantastic. Moreover, the stunning visuals and classic oriental soundscape work perfectly with the theme. My complaints are that it is too short and it lacks difficulty. Yet, if you can overlook these issues, you'll love this striking, albeit familiar game.

Exo One is a tremendous title that stands out from its peers. Its easy controls and excellent aesthetics make it a joy to play. If the developers had added extra elements to the latter stages, then it would have been perfect.

An emotional story presented in a unique way. Bizarre and fascinating visuals give way to an interesting gameplay mechanic that's never quite used to its fullest.

Fading Afternoon tells the interesting story of Seiji Maruyama, an older Yakuza trying to re-establish himself in the newer world. There is a lot of interesting commentary on aging and reflections on the life you live, which I liked. To get to these moments, you have to battle through repetitive encounters. The game doesn’t give you much direction, so sometimes you aimlessly explore, hoping to trigger another cutscene on Seiji’s journey. If you can get through the repetitive combat, Fading Afternoon is worth checking out.

VORON: Raven's Story is dazzlingly beautiful and makes flying around a delight. It's only fault is that it doesn't dive enough into either its world or its puzzles.

Just Dance 2026 is great if you love the franchise. There is a nice library of songs to select and a new central hub to enjoy. Furthermore, the mobile phone controller system was an interesting concept. Although I'm not a massive fan of yearly franchises, this one does a nice job.

In deciding that ambition is the dragon that needs toppling, Shadow Warrior 3 is aggressively average, restricting its own potential with poor level design and underwhelming weapons and enemies. Quite how it manages to fluff its lines, despite having all the ingredients for success – humour, great visuals and Doom-lite gunplay – is frustrating, but if you are able to look past this, it does still provide an opportunity for you to switch off with some mindless entertainment in short spurts.

The Rogue Prince of Persia is a fluid and fun-filled parkour experience. The movement is great and it has that "one more run" edge. However, it isn't as memorable as other titles from the franchise. Furthermore, there are better and bigger games in the genre. It is still worthy of your time, but it won't stay with you forever.

Saborus is an interesting horror experience. It combines many genres to great effect. The result is an uncomfortable game that'll keep you guessing throughout. My major complaint is the short playtime, had it been longer and more expansive, it would have thrived.

Phantom Breaker: Omnia is a user-friendly but challenging 2D fighting game.

The Plague Doctor of Wippra is a clever critique of the global pandemic that hasn’t quite gone away, told through the lens of late medieval Germany dealing with the bubonic plague. At its’s surface though, it’s a great point-and-click adventure game with interesting dialogue, raised stakes, alternate endings and enough puzzles to feel satisfying. Sadly, it is on the short side and can be completed within a couple of hours. But it’s a couple of hours well spent.

Whilst it’s certainly interesting, it remains largely incoherent. Subsequent playthroughs, which are mandatory to experience all the game has to offer, don’t really clear up any of the confusion either. Still, Moonscars does offer something worth playing. If you’re in the market for a new Metroidvania or Souls-like game, then I’d recommend giving this one a shot.

Smash Boats Waterlogged Edition is a fun and colourful nod to arcade gaming. The arena-based combat is simple to understand and will entertain you throughout. What's more, childish humour is apparent in every chapter. Though it lacks depth, the casual approach makes it attractive and moreish.

Sam & Max: Beyond Space and Time tries to be too clever for its own good, expecting the player to follow long-winded and sometimes-incomprehensible logic of its puzzles, and with its dated references and cliched characters, although this entry might still be enjoyable, it is one of the less memorable Sam and Max entries.
