    Spilled! is a calm and simple indie game. The rudimentary imagery and wholesome audio work particularly well. Furthermore, the gameplay is refined but fun. My only complaint is it isn't long enough.

    Summertime Madness is a wonderful surreal puzzle adventure title. You must solve many problems as you venture through a selection of bizarre and beautiful paintings. Flip switches, stop cogs, explore never-ending stairs, and more. Will you escape before the time runs out and the Devil traps you?

    You'll find many anomaly horror games whether you're browsing the Steam, PlayStation, or Xbox store, and you'll realize quickly enough that a lot of them are very similar and don't really have anything unique about them. Play The Attic 18th and after the first 10 minutes you'll see just why it's so different from the rest in the sub-genre, unique mechanics, an interesting short story, and a tense experience makes it outshine the rest.

    Cubic Figures is a simple and futuristic puzzle title. Although many of the core mechanics are familiar, I adore the neon visuals and the ghostly and cold music.

    Priest Simulator is a whacky and odd simulation title. You must complete religious tasks while helping the community. Moreover, you'll stop those non-believers who stand in your way. Shoot, fight, and pray your way to victory.

    Don’t Stop, GirlyPop! is a game with zero interest in being subtle. It’s fast, flashy, and fully committed to its aesthetic and mechanical identity. When it works, it delivers moments of pure kinetic joy, those rare stretches where your brain shuts off and your hands just know what to do. It won’t convert everyone. But if you love movement shooters, experimental vibes, or games that dare to be loud and weird and joyful, this one’s absolutely worth your time.

    Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus is a clever and interesting FMV title. It has many twists and turns and it'll take a lot of skill and luck to find the murderer in this crazy family.

    Plastomorphosis is a dated horror title that incorporates puzzle elements. Furthermore, it is filled with traditional jump scares and loads of lore. However, the janky controls and fixed camera will annoy plenty of people. If you can overlook the dated visuals and the occasionally annoying mechanics, you'll enjoy a nostalgia-infused horror game.

    I’d love to write more about V-Hunter Puzzler DX but the game itself is very short and outside of an additional ‘hard’ mode that gives you a timer to make each of your moves, the game itself is somewhat simple. Not to say that its bad or anything, to my mind, the things V-Hunter is looking to achieve, it does perfectly, I only wish that there were more things in the game.

    Overall, both Dragon Quest games are a blast to play. The remakes give both a visual upgrade with more characters and brilliant soundtracks. Both games have beautiful open worlds, while offering challenging fights. The first Dragon Quest is hindered a bit by not having a party system but is still fun to play. Both games also stumble in the story department but the exploration, combat and open world are too good to ignore. If you want to check out these classics, the remakes are the best way to do it right now.

    Masterplan Tycoon is a fun, simple, and refined simulation title. What's more, its rudimentary concept ensures that it is easy to understand. However, some minor issues hold it back from reaching its potential.

    Deathbound is a party-based souls-like that twists tried and tested mechanics. It works mostly, but there are shortcomings that will frustrate veterans. However, I loved the aesthetics and lore-riddled world.

    In the end, Equate 8: A Math Puzzle Game is more than just a game; it’s a cozy and clever math adventure. Its personal touch, from the charming graphics to the relaxing feel and the wonderful lack of timers, makes it a true gem in the world of mobile games. It’s a refreshing change from titles that are constantly trying to get you to spend money or rush through the gameplay. This game is all about the pure fun of solving a puzzle and the simple joy of learning. For anyone who loves a good brain teaser or wants a stress-free way to get better at math, this game is a perfect choice. It’s a lovely, simple, and truly wonderful experience.

    Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & The White Guardian truly is the definition of a mixed bag. An uneven story led by two vastly differing protagonists fails to deliver a memorable tale and outstays its welcome for far too long. Bad visuals affect the delivery of the narrative but thankfully a strong combat system helps keep this title afloat. The beautiful art style and gorgeous soundtrack save this game from being a true disappointment. Far too many repurposed assets from the previous mobile game make an appearance, making this game feel like an update rather than a brand new title. Hopefully this storied franchise can weather the storm!

    Whilst I enjoyed my time with HEROish I can’t really say that I expect it to change anyone’s life, there are other games in the MOBA space that are far more worthy of your time and money. Not to say that HEROish is a waste of money, £8.50 on Steam isn’t much after all, but then I played it for free so what do I know?

    For players craving something different, a game that combines light storytelling, frantic shooting, and a darkly witty take on retail and survival then Service With a Shotgun is well worth your time. At its best, it’s a brilliantly bizarre love letter to indie game ambitions; at its worst, it’s still a fun little experiment that’s more satisfying than many high-budget titles could hope to be.

    Funko Fusion is a whacky and amusing 3D adventure title. Like LEGO, this game demands that you explore small arenas while controlling your favourite protagonist. However, unlike LEGO, it lacks polish. Accordingly, some glitches and bugs hold it back. Once these issues are ironed out, this will be a great, albeit repetitive experience.

    I felt NIS Classics Volume 2 to be an excellent game with two to choose from and full of new content to explore and discover. If this is the first time playing the game, it may all be new. Nevertheless, I found them to be a wonderful pair to have in one game. Especially how they are slightly similar in the style of gameplay as well as their large amount of levels to play through. Both also being perfect RPG games that bring plenty of entertaining battle scenes and maps to investigate. Of course, there are a few issues, but other than that, it’s not a bad game collection.

    If you love the weird and wonderful world of Atomfall, Wicked Isle is more of what the base game delivered, with new intriguing quests and a fantastic new location. Sadly though, this expansion plays it safe and doesn’t add enough to truly make it stand out alongside the wonderful original title. A lack of new additions, reused enemies and some terrible quest design bog the expansion down. There’s still the British charm, but I wanted more.

    SimAirport is a great title if you love aviation or simulation games. Furthermore, once you get past the steep learning curve, you enjoy a rich and rewarding experience. Alongside this, the layers of depth and challenging gameplay will test you from the off.

    Metal Tales: Overkill is a fun and gruesome rogue-lite title. You must search labyrinthine dungeons while avoiding traps, zombies, and more. You'll obtain power-ups and new guitars that will aid you on your journey. It is hard-hitting and tough, but more importantly, it is enjoyable and addictive.

    Sokobos offers a chill and satisfying experience. I can safely say that I recommend Sokobos but, if you are a puzzle game fan, the challenging nature will sate you itch. For others that are not however, I understand that the game’s learning curve will put you off the game. So, if you are interested give it a go and if you didn’t like the experience, you can refund it with Steam refund policy.

    Gatekeeper is a truly fast paced and fun Roguelike. It kept me engaged with its mechanics and aesthetics, even if the replayability and accessibility didn't reach those highs.

    Guayota blends together some excellent puzzle mechanics, a nice setting and a lovely Lovecraftian story. Unfortunately, the final ingredient is a series of irritating traps, which hurts the otherwise stellar gameplay.

    Kombinera is a fantastic minimalist puzzle title. Its bizarre story could have been better explained, but you'll love the action that unfolds, nonetheless. The problems are challenging, the graphics simple, and the audio surreal, and this makes it a basic but enjoyable experience.

    Is Anima Flux a game you absolutely must play? Probably not. But if you’ve got a spare couple of hours and an unhealthy desire to collect power-ups from giant insect guts, well, this could be your next distraction. Just don’t expect it to redefine the genre or leave you thinking.

    Dolphin Spirit: Ocean Mission is a cute and wholesome educational adventure title. As such, it is perfect for children or those who have a thirst for knowledge. However, its lack of difficulty and repetitive tasks will put some people off. If you can cope with the shortcomings, you'll enjoy a relaxing and rewarding experience.

    S.W.A.N.: Chernobyl Unexplored is a claustrophobic horror title full of jump scares. It brilliantly blends an emotive location with science fiction madness. Solve every puzzle and explore the top-secret facility while trying to uncover the mystery.

    If you’re a fan of the souls-like and Metroidvania genre, Watcher Chronicles may be worth checking out if you’re looking for a frustratingly fun title to sink your teeth into. With tonnes of content, bosses to kill and hordes of enemies to rid Purgatory of, you’ll have a lot of hours of content to explore with Watcher Chronicles. Despite the steep learning curve for those newer to the genre, the presentation and style of play would absolutely be a good first stepping-stone into the world of souls-like games.

    The Chrono Jotter is a bizarrely fascinating visual novel, with an interesting premise and decent character writing. An emotional story that is held back by a lack of gameplay depth and awful localisation.
