    Fox Legend is a pleasant old-school platformer with a modern aesthetic. I loved the 2D and 3D imagery. Moreover, the drip-fed mechanics keep you going from beginning to end. Though it is short, I enjoyed it nonetheless.

    DC League of Super-Pets is the perfect title for younger gamers. Its simple approach, colourful aesthetics, and catchy one-liners will be a hit. On the other hand, older gamers and parents will shut off to its mundane and repetitive ways.

    An immensely charming roguelite in an interesting world, but the poor balance turns everything on its head.

    Industria blends dated architecture with cold and mysterious futuristic structures. Its gameplay doesn't break the mould but it is well thought out and enjoyable throughout. Fans of FPS and adventure titles will feel right at home playing this unusual game.

    Operation: Polygon Storm is a game that grew on me. The action is challenging and the auto-battler elements will test you. Consequently, you will need to invest some time to get the best out of it, but it is worth the effort.

    If you are looking for a fun, fast-paced endless runner, then Boson X might be the game for you. Its simplistic control scheme, mixed with the challenging level design, make for an addictive and engaging arcade experience. The stripped-down graphics, along with the spacious audio and OST, enhance the mesmerising nature of the game. If you’re looking for something to play over the course of a weekend, then I recommend you spend £1.99 and blast through Boson X.

    Soul's Spectrum has a great central gameplay mechanic and a nice story built around it. It's held back by some RPG Maker jankiness and a general feeling of rushing through things. Still, the strong premise left me wanting more.

    The Great War: Western Front: is a wonderful treat for those who have experience with the RTS genre and an intense interest in history. For those like myself who have no experience with RTS games however, this can be a major struggle to get through and has the potential to be just another game in a backlog that won’t be touched again after the initial hours.

    Anarkade is a casual arena-based shooter that has a delightful old-school edge. Though it lacks depth, I liked the short, sharp gameplay. Moreover, there are some tactical mechanics to add a challenging layer when you tackle your friends.

    The Adventurers is a turn-based tactical RPG where every decision shapes your legacy. Lead your party of heroes in an open world filled with random events that affect your story. Survive a high fantasy landscape where your epic saga is waiting to be written.

    I truly think A Tale of Paper: Refolded is worth checking out on its presentation alone. The game oozes style, mystery and emotion through its beautiful visuals and enthralling sound design and score. The story itself tells a tale of purpose and determination and Line is an appealing character. It’s just a shame at times the gameplay can be frustrating and platforming can be tedious and generic. This edition doesn’t many more additions for previous owners of the game, bar a few tacked on extra levels. However, for newcomers, this game is certainly worth grabbing. A great example of creating an engaging and emotional story through high quality presentation. One word just keeps coming back to me for this game and that is simply- endearing.

    Mangavania is an old-school platformer with a dated aesthetic. What's more, its simple approach works well because of the short stages. However, if you wish to find everything, you must unlock every skill and return to explore the otherwise unreachable areas. My only complaints are a lack of depth and that it ends far too soon.

    Blind Fate: Edo no Yami is an odd adventure title with a sci-fi twist. Furthermore, it has a basic skill tree, some excellent combat, and a wonderful presentation. Unfortunately, though, sluggish controls and repetitive action hold it back. Yet, don't let this take away from an otherwise fantastic experience.

    I believe it executes well on what it sets out to accomplish, however the game does feel very rough around the edges and with further polish, could be a much more exciting experience.

    Strong visual design and an intriguing world help keep Verne: The Shape of Fantasy afloat, though a handful of missed tricks with the gameplay do threaten to sink it.

    Pretty and full of interesting people, My Time At Sandrock is a jack of all trades, master of none. It has a lot to do but is quite thinly spread. Still, it won't fail to put a smile on your face.

    Rusted Moss is as beautiful as it is infuriating. An uncompromising metroidvania that looks and plays great. Its simplicity may lead to a few issues but it has a lot to give if you can break through its high difficulty.

    Panic Porcupine is a tough and cruel precision platform title. With brutal traps and plenty of collectables, this is a hardcore experience. Collect the eggs and save the Chickabirbs as you try to defeat Dr Proventriculus.

    Ultimately, Dead Rising: Deluxe Remaster strikes a delicate balance between maintaining the spirit of the original and introducing modern updates that make it more playable today. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the series, this remaster offers a thrilling and chaotic zombie-slaying experience that proves why Dead Rising remains a standout in Capcom’s catalogue.

    Seven Doors is a sinister but enjoyable puzzle experience. Its creepy settings and interesting puzzles will test your ability. However, each playthrough is annoyingly short. Consequently, you'll want much, much more.

    Cleaning Up! is a cosy and enjoyable cleaning experience. It has a strange story and interesting mechanics. Moreover, the stage design is well-considered. Although it is short, I enjoyed every moment.

    If you fancy an evening of blood, madness and handsome anime men, give Virche Evermore a whirl. The lack of player input remains a sore spot for me, but this is an excellent example of the genre, especially if you're a lover of horror.

    HEROish is fun, simple, and a tactically challenging title. Can you pick the best deck of cards and take down your foes? Upgrade your troops, alter your deck, and observe each protagonist as they rise to the top.

    An exceedingly charming tower defence and action-adventure fusion with a nice artstyle and strong writing. Full of good ideas with a strong central mechanic. However, a cluster of frustrations arise from it, with the key problem being the lack of a plan B once the tower defence portion fails.

    It does have quite a bit of replayability which is always good for a game, I played through it twice and I absolutely would again just to see more of the scenery the beautiful Lake Garda, and Northern Italy has to offer.

    Simple though it is, Cricket Through the Ages won me over with its stupendously silly gameplay and its commitment to telling a daft, nonsensical story about humanity’s obsession with throwing balls and whacking each other with big sticks. You’re not likely to spend a long time playing it—it took me about two hours to complete all eight game modes—but it is fun while it lasts. I’d recommend grabbing a buddy and playing a two player game, as walloping a friend over the head with a cricket bat never gets old.

    A Pizza Delivery was a short narrative game which made up for that with its intriguing characters, appealing artwork, and landscapes. However, due to its short length and story which I felt could have been explored more in-depth I don't think the £12 price tag is justifiable, so you're better off picking this game up on sale. If you want a short yet touching experience then look no further.

    LASERPITIUM is a fast-paced side-scrolling shooter with a modern finish. This solo or cooperative title will keep you busy. Furthermore, there are 10 stages to overcome and a leaderboard to top. As such, this is addictive, hard to put down, and wonderfully competitive. Yet, a lack of weaponry was disappointing.

    I would say I had a fun time playing through Arcane Trigger. The game is very easy to get into and runs generally don’t take very long. Although that sentiment changes based on what difficulty you’re on. There are a variety of ways to create builds via focusing on one element or splitting focus on two or more. The success of your runs will greatly depend on what bullets you choose and how you position them.

    There is heart. It has the horsepower. It just is not quite the finished champion it wants to be. If you crave neon, speed, and anti-gravity chaos, Millennium Runners will absolutely deliver that rush. Just do not expect it to stay on the podium forever.
