ZHP: Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman is one of the more enjoyable parody games I have played in recent years. The story is full of genuine comedic moments that left me smiling and laughing throughout my playthrough. While the port does suffer from some graphical issues and cut content, there is enough depth and replayability to keep even the most veteran of players engaged. In short, what Conkers Bad Fur Day was for pop culture, ZHP is for JRPGs and anime.

While I went in with low expectations, Achilles Survivor was able to clear them with minimal effort. Dark Point Games have proven themselves in my eyes, and created a solid experience worth the attention of genre fans. Despite minor balancing flaws, it’s a more than serviceable time-waster, one that I plan to sink many more hours into.

Hillbilly Doomsday is an excellent retro platform title. With vivid pixelated graphics and a zany audio, it is the complete old-school experience.

Mago captures the retro 2D platformer feeling perfectly. The pixel art is beautiful, and the gameplay offers a good amount of variety. I would recommend this game to anyone looking to scratch that itch.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who is still or was a fan of games like this growing up. I may not have grown up playing System Shock or Doom, but I can tell that HYPERVIOLENT does a fantastic job at emulating them, giving even gamers like me a strong feeling of nostalgia and simpler times. Maybe sometimes all you need is a good story, easy mechanics and a bunch of enemies to mow through.

MeteoHeroes Saving Planet Earth! has no right being a decent game, but manages to pull off a visually appealing and relaxing environment for kids and adults alike. A lack of overall content is immediately apparent, but for what it’s aiming to achieve – a pretty platformer with casual environmental messages as accompanied media for the TV show – it’s mission accomplished.

TRANSFORMERS: EARTHSPARK - Expedition is an action-packed adventure title that is perfect for younger gamers. However, a lack of polish keeps it from excelling. Yet, if you love Transformers, you'll forgive the shortcomings and fall for the cliched gameplay.

For players looking for something experimental and offbeat, Crazy HDC offers a glimpse of what could’ve been a great indie gem. But for anyone seeking depth, polish, or long-term replayability, it might leave you wandering the dungeon in search of more.

Gunslingers and Zombies is such a simple game to enjoy. It’s filled with a few weapons, plenty of planning, and a bunch of zombies to demolish. The game does require a little planning to survive each level and move forward. The challenging part occurs as you move on and go through different waves or goals needed to be done. However, it is still a very easy game to pick up and play, perfect for beginner strategy gamers. So if you are up to saving the town and love strategy games, then get ready to shoot down and stab every last zombie in the west.

A.I.L.A has a great story that becomes more interesting the more you continue, and it has a really great idea and demonstrates it very well. The gameplay is good but has much more potential due to the game’s settings and different timelines. Visuals are good, but I expected more from a UE5 game, especially regarding how the enemies look. The sound design is amazing, always making you feel watched, which makes the game a lot scarier.

Pyramid Platformer - The Gem Heist is an old-school experience with a colourful setting. I loved the familiar gameplay but disliked the minor controller issues. Though this was frustrating, it was fun and I liked the level design and the drip-fed mechanics.

Keplerth is an overall enjoyable survival crafting game. The gameplay mechanics are incredibly fun, albeit rather simple and repetitive. The RPG systems are surprisingly complex, but feel as though they are still waiting to be developed into something more substantial. While the art style is a clear rip off of RimWorld, it has been executed well to suit the game’s needs. As of this review, Keplerth is being sold for a little under £12. At this price, I’d recommend that you give it a shot if you are a fan of games like Terraria or Don’t Starve.

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.

Re.Surs is an old-school side-scrolling shooter. Moreover, it uses a linear approach and has a deep and lore-rich story. However, it doesn't break the mould and this may disappoint.

Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand is a commendable action RPG that showcases a marked improvement over its initial release. While its combat system and customization options stand out as highlights, the game is somewhat let down by its repetitive encounters and underwhelming narrative. Nevertheless, it offers a solid mix of action and exploration, making it a worthwhile pick for fans of the genre. For newcomers or those who missed the original, this enhanced version is an excellent entry point. While it may not redefine the action RPG genre, it delivers a well-rounded and enjoyable experience, particularly for players seeking fast-paced combat and a customizable playstyle.

QUADROIDS is a tough adventure title. This brutal endeavour will twist your mind as the fixed-screen perspective shifts and turns on every stage. Consequently, this isn't a game for the faint of heart.

Even as a newcomer to the series, I think SNK VS. CAPCOM: CARD FIGHTERS’ CLASH is a pretty solid game. Other than a few annoyances here and there, I can say I enjoyed this classic title. If you’re an SNK or Capcom fan, or a card trading game fanatic, I’d say this retro goodie is worth adding to your collection.

Gravitar: Recharged is a fantastic modern take on an arcade classic. With an excellent challenge mode and cooperative action, this will keep you playing. Furthermore, the arcade mode is endless, tough, and enjoyable.

All in all, it feels difficult to recommend Remnant: From the Ashes as a Nintendo Switch title. If you like soulslikes, guns, trees, and grey things: maybe play this on any other console. Chances are, it’s a pretty good game there. But here, it’s not a great experience.

Manic Mechanics is a hectic multiplayer title that treads familiar ground. I liked the interesting level design and the upbeat audio. However, its lack of originality and the poor plot were not as good as its peers. Though I was slightly disappointed, I enjoyed the casual and amusing action.

Andro Dunos 2 is an homage to side scrolling shoot’em ups and does most things well, the weaponry options are particularly impressive. So if you’re looking for some high octane action over a short period you won’t go far wrong with Andro Dunos 2. Unfortunately there isn’t much depth to Andro Dunos 2 in terms of modes so once you’ve completed it you won’t replay it.

Infinity Sweeper is a modern take on Minesweeper. I like the rogue-like mechanics, the casual but addictive action, and the quick to understand ideas. However, it doesn't hit the heights of its classic counterpart.

Hatch Tales: A Heroic Hookshot Adventure looks fine, sounds fine, and plays fine. The game is not remarkable, but definitely worth your buck in terms of content and challenges.

I like to be tested, but I found Glam’s Incredible Run far too difficult. It was fiddly, unfairly precise, and uncomfortably challenging. However, it will be perfect for hardcore gamers and veterans of the genre.

Sonokuni is a manic trip boasting fun, frantic combat. The boss fights don't do it justice, however.

For all its predictability in terms of plot, Inayah – Life after Gods is still a fun, engaging title that proves gameplay can often make up for what the story lacks. Whether you’re in it for the upgrades or the challenge, there’s something undeniably addictive about this game that will keep you hooked long after the credits roll.

Games don’t always require a complex and in-depth story to be great. This is proven in Hidden Shapes: Animals + Lovely Cats as it’s simple but wonderful at the same time. I adored its minimalist approach, basic controls, and calming audio. What’s more, it’s brilliant for all the family and that’s a massive positive.

Castaway station is a game that is heavily carried by it's narrative and presentation. If you are willing to put up with the gameplay issues, then you can be in for a pretty good time.
