Tormented Souls 2 does a good job emulating the survival horror greats that came before, ensuring that younger players are able to experience the older style of gameplay even as bigger brands continue in other directions. It certainly has a learning curve for newcomers, but those who persevere will discover why the genre was so popular during the 90s and 2000s.

Criminal Expert is an immersive FMV experience. Moreover, the setting is fantastic and the cinematic is top-notch. Accordingly, it is tough to put down. However, repetitive action reduces its replay value.

DESOLATIUM is an old-school point-and-click game that won't be for everyone. However, I enjoyed the challenging puzzles and the interesting story. Moreover, the graphics were good, and the acting was impressive. Accordingly, if you love the genre, or you want to try something different, this is the game for you.

Reus 2 is a fun god-like city builder where your giants rule the roost. Although it is a little grindy, it is enjoyable controlling every human and massive beast. If you've played the original, this will be familiar. However, if you are new to the franchise, some trial and error is needed.

Wonderfully pretty, with decent world and character design, Momodara: Moonlit Farewell is held back by some balance issues and genre specific bugbears.

Asdivine Dios is a familiar and old-school RPG with a battle-heavy focus! Though I found this tedious, I loved the magical boss battles. Moreover, the plot was great. If you love retro gaming, you will enjoy this 15 to 18-hour experience.

At its heart, Necrobouncer is a fun little roguelike with a couple of nice ideas. Sadly, it struggles to find its USP, leaving it feeling competent but ultimately forgettable.

Graven is a brilliant fusion of the best elements from Doom and Gothic, creating a game that shows great promise in both combat and exploration. Its old-school graphics, enhanced by modern technology, offer a charming and visually rich experience. While not without its flaws, the level design is generally excellent, and the gameplay is nothing short of exhilarating. The combination of fast-paced combat, intricate world-building, and a satisfying progression system makes Graven a easy recommendation for fans of classic and modern games alike. Whether you’re in it for the nostalgia or a new engaging action-adventure game, Graven is sure to have you hooked.

Now I can't let all of the bugs & glitches I come across completely change my opinion of Winter Survival, though I'm certainly not letting them slide. It's no doubt graphically one of the best survival games I've played, pair that with the big and appealing open world, along with the challenging aspect to it then you've got yourself a solid sandbox game full of hungry animals which will sniff you out rather quickly, note to self, make sure to always have some kind of weapon equipped instead of always running away...

Let Them Come: Onslaught is a sci-fi romp that feels very familiar. However, I liked the small unique moments and the aggressive, but hectic elements.

Skautfold: Moonless Knight is a tough hybrid experience that will push your buttons. If you have poor reactions or you struggle with patience, this won't be the game for you. Although it made me moan, I enjoyed the dark and sinister style and the challenges I faced.

The Samurai Quest is a simple, casual, and old-school platformer. Though it is straightforward, it is fun and great for genre newcomers.

Not great, not terrible. Home Behind 2 is greater than the sum of its parts, but it doesn’t bring anything new to the table. It’s a good game for what it is, an RPG with real-time pausable combat and tons of management.

The Invincible is a sci-fi experience that shifts tried and tested perspectives. However, sadly, it didn't resonate and I struggled to enjoy every moment. However, if you like an unusual game that tries something new, then this could be right up your street.

Berzerk: Recharged is a fun 80s rework that will appease its fans. I love the vibrant colour palette and the claustrophobic level design. Furthermore, the action is easy to master. However, a lack of missions was disappointing and this differs from other Recharged titles.

35MM is an eclectic blend of genres that'll keep you guessing throughout. It's a cold and eerie title that highlights isolation, friendship, and the desire to survive no matter the costs. It begins slowly but soon evolves to be a thrilling and captivating experience.

Tormented Souls is a solid play… but maybe leave the lights on!

Its super fun and smooth gameplay is never repetitive, although the level design could be better. Visually, it is an average ps4 game.

Hero's Hour remains a lovely little strategy game; a bitesized Heroes 3. There is a definite clunkiness with the Switch port, however, so the PC version still reigns supreme.

Gigantosaurus: Dino Kart is a fun family-friendly title. Pick from an array of familiar characters as you race around Cretacia to be crowned champion. Thankfully, the mechanics are easy to understand and the controls are fantastic for younger gamers. Consequently, this is perfect for younger gamers.

Overall, Dragon Quest Treasures is a charming spin-off to the mainline series that satisfies the DQ itch but does leave me wanting more as the grand scope of the campaign isn’t quite there for me. That might be the point, a smaller, more intimate story, but it’s not my cup of tea. Hopefully, Monsters later this year is good, but I yearn for Dragon Quest XII but given the complete radio silence on that since 2017 I don’t expect much soon.

The Renovator: Origins is a fun horror experience. However, it is a little cliched and some of the puzzles were annoying to solve. Yet, I liked the timing of the jump scares and the grim visuals. If you want a horror title that is uncomfortable, this could tick that box.

Wings of Bluestar is a phenomenal Shmup with so much potential. Disappointingly, the hit-and-miss controls undermine its otherwise excellent gameplay. I adored the artistry, the audio, and the story. However, I can't overlook the occasionally poor control system.

Voltaire: The Vegan Vampire is an excellent casual title. Its combination of genres was interesting. However, it lacks depth, and this makes it a jack of all trades. Unfortunately, this impacts its longevity. Furthermore, the developers must add more content to ensure it reaches its potential.

Kaku: Ancient Seal is clearly aimed at kid gamers, perhaps those looking for a Zelda-like experience on their console of choice. I imagine that younger audiences will be very satisfied with Bingobell’s work, and older players may also find themselves hooked on the game’s various modes of progression or inviting visual design. Be prepared for some nagging performance problems, though if those don’t bother you, this is a great adventure to jump into.

Road 96: Mile 0 is a narrative-adventure game from DigiXArt that is a prequel to Road 96. Play as both Zoe and Kaito and decide if the regime is one you believe in, or one you feel needs to be toppled. Which of the four endings will you get?

Play as Flynn the little dragon and dive into a quirky, mysterious adventure reminiscent of an Nintendo 64 3D platformer!

War Mongrels is a RTS with a gritty story. Moreover, it has an interesting viewpoint and some grim and hard-hitting cinematic. However, the clunky controls and bugs undermine its potential.
