    Book Quest is an old-school adventure RPG. It looks like Zelda but sadly, this is where the similarities end. There are plenty of minor issues that undermine the action, but with a few small fixes, this will be a great retro title.

    I honestly had high hopes for this game, before actually playing. Did it meet my expectations or did it let me down? Well, I can say it is so much easier to play for a child or an adult who wants a build their own school that isn’t tedious with so much to learn and too many buttons to recall. There is plenty of things you can add to make this school as interesting and fun as you like! Just think of it as child style Sims game, made easy with a more cartoony style graphic design.

    Dreadout 2 is a horror adventure title with some open-world elements. Its limited budget impacts its grand ideas and this was frustrating. With such potential, it could have been great. However, its many flaws will leave you wanting.

    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!

    With the addictiveness of a beat ’em up, great visuals and fun RPG upgrades, Lost Epic is a 2D action game that reaches the hallowed and revered heights that many an action game would wish to reach, with a core mechanic so pure and refined that you can’t help but admire it.

    Gigapocalypse is a fun and aggressive side-scrolling arcade title. With a badass soundtrack and brilliantly retro graphics, this oozes nostalgia. I loved its simplicity as well as its layers of depth. Furthermore, the choice of Gigas and the vast amount of upgrades ensure that no playthrough is ever the same.

    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.

    This is a very different game, something that I wouldn’t find copied or made by another. As it’s all hand-drawn and the storyline is not very large or similar to any other game as well. The worlds you visit are very interesting and each has these individual sounds that play like music notes, as you bounce and float into different objects. It’s quite interesting and fun to achieve when roaming and exploring the levels for your friends. Lastly, the game to me felt quite easy, relaxing, and just plain fun! It might not be super long or take much use of the brain, but it is something that will keep you calm and entertained as you rescue your friends.

    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.

    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.

    Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? is a niche-market game. Yet, it can be phenomenal with the right group of friends. I loved the range of questions, the competitive edge, and the custom avatars. Yet, I know it won’t be for everyone, but I liked it nevertheless.

    Unfortunately Sword and Fairy is not a case of ‘What you see is what you get’, as although the music and presentation is top notch, the game is unable to maintain its high level of quality across the board, so even though the story does intrigue, it dabbles in a bit too much mediocrity to truly recommend this to everyone, despite its eye-popping strengths.

    Ultimate Fishing Simulator 2 is a fantastic sports simulation title. With an array of branded gear to buy and over 60 species of fish to hunt, there is something for everybody. What’s more, it’s visually impressive and beautiful to look at. I cannot wait to see how much it evolves during its short 6-month Early Access period. After this, gamers from all platforms will be able to enjoy the phenomenal fishing action.

    Mad Streets is a crazy physics-based arena brawler. With an array of levels to tackle, massive fighters to take down, and ridiculous tasks to overcome, it'll keep you busy. Furthermore, it is great fun with friends and this makes the lack of an online community a real disappointment.

    This game really was not my cup of tea. I felt that it failed on almost everything it set out to accomplish. While some parts are objectively bad, the game does have some good ideas. I hope next time, this team can try to execute their ideas better and give us a more satisfying to play twin stick shooter.

    The game Tinykin brings players a joyful and fun adventure, where one must solve and discover ways to find your way through each spacious location. There are so many things to see and solve for friends that are just as small as Milo the character you’ll be playing as. It’s a bright and joyful game, without monsters attacking, but with plenty of puzzle-solving planning to get you from one location to the next. It’s a very fun game that will keep you entertained for hours and provides plenty to do in each new location you visit.

    Rick Henderson is a classic retro title. This side-scrolling shoot-'em up only ends when you are blown out of the sky. Consequently, it is addictive, challenging, and oozes nostalgia.

    Yars: Recharged is a fantastic arcade title that oozes nostalgia. Can you complete every mission and destroy the enemy hive? Chew, shoot, and blast your way to victory. Enjoy this solo or with a friend as you aim for the top score.

    White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is a wonderful classic horror title that will scare you silly. With horrifying ghost encounters, challenging puzzles, and a demented janitor, you'll be tested and petrified. What's more, it has multiple endings to keep you coming back for more.

    Not only do you get one fun action-packed game, but you get a second game, the classic puzzling game too! Oh and don’t let the bright graphics fool you, this game isn’t super easy to defeat or super difficult, but it’s just what you want when you play a platformer, a bit of a challenge. So if you think you have what it takes to save Pac-Man’s family then you should really give this game a try!

    Dyna Bomb 2 is a great solo or cooperative platform adventure title. With plenty to see and do, it'll keep you busy for hours. Its heavy reliance of grinding will disappoint some, but I enjoyed the overall challenge and replay value.

    A Tale of Paper: Refolded is an excellent platform adventure title with puzzling elements. You will love the excellent graphics and atmospheric audio. Furthermore, the drip-fed mechanics and excellent stage design will keep you entertained. However, it is painfully short and this undermines every element.

    At the end of the day, Zookeeper is not a bad game. It just falls a bit short on keeping the player’s interest for extended periods of time. Zookeeper has potential for sure. It’s cute, relaxing and there is some fun to be found. However, as it stands, things feel a bit too middle of the road to justify any hype.

    The Dark Prophecy is a classic point-and-click title that will fill you with nostalgia. What's more, it has some excellent characters, crazy locations, and some witty and sharp dialogue. However, it is sadly too short if you are a veteran of the genre. But don't let this deter you from playing this retro-inspired game. [Early Access Provisional Score = 80]

    Honestly, it’s hard to say that this one game is horrible because in total it was just so much classic FUN! Games back then use to be slower and the colors or way they move are very obvious in each game. Sometimes the sayings, as phrases are a little much and at that time the game was pretty much exciting. So modern games to classic will be hard to find it that entertaining and enjoyable as many would like them to be. However, they are collections of the past, not much changed, and really a blast from the past when playing.

    I try not to judge a book by its cover, but Maggie the Magnet sounded and looked awful at first glance. Yet, I’m glad I gave it a chance, as every element surprised me. I adored its challenging ways, its tough but fair learning curve, and its bizarre aesthetics. Accordingly, it is one of those hidden gems that’ll be ignored by many gamers, and this is a tragedy.

    Kofi Quest is such an interesting and original RPG-style game. It’s got plenty of great action-packed battles against a variety of monsters and creatures, heroic music playing in the background, an extensive world map to travel and explore, and plenty of unique friends to meet. I think, for the most part, the game brings such a wonderful array of side quests to tackle and can keep the player occupied as well as the freedom to do as you please. I just feel there are a few issues that aren’t easy to avoid and can wreck the joy of the gameplay because it doesn’t work out or plays as it should.

    It’s hard to truly judge a title that won’t let you progress a little more than halfway, but what I know of the remainder of the experience, this a knight to forget; an average and repetitive title that is about as rewarding as the princesses’ throwaway comments as you adventure with them – by the 4th time, you’ve seen and heard enough.
