In life, time is limited and one can only spend so much time playing a certain game. For that, you must create something worth the time. I am all for testing new ideas but this is not a new idea. This a fake promise followed by a game so lazy, one could create it over the weekend. In conclusion? You’ll probably get more adrenaline from watching an ice cube melt.

Hellstuck: Rage with Your Friends is a hellish game that broke me repeatedly! The action is simple but the execution will destroy your soul. Accordingly, it is far too brutal and it will put off mere mortals.

Overall, Leo & Mia is super accessible and easy to play; a short and sweet game to keep your young kiddos entertained. Just don’t expect much.

Grab friends or family for a colorful co-op brawler. Easy to pick up and full of frantic fun, Ra Ra BOOM has you bashing bots, blasting baddies, and laughing together in 4-player local co-op. It’s got retro roots with a modern arcade spirit.

Fiz and the Rainbow Planet is a game that knows exactly what it is, and just as importantly, what it isn’t. It’s not flashy, it’s not huge, and it’s not trying to reinvent the genre. Instead, it offers a short, colourful adventure that prioritises accessibility, charm, and heart. This isn’t Celeste but if you enjoy Gameboy era platformers I can recommend you give this a try.

God of Weapons is a bipolar experience. On one end, you have a fantastic inventory management system that asks you to make tough decisions while building out your character’s kit. On the other, you have lackluster gameplay that’s only exciting if you enjoy watching damage numbers grow larger. These ideas fail to coalesce into a singular vision, ultimately making the project feel like a missed opportunity.

Bubble Trouble is a great series of games that will push your buttons. It is devilishly simple, but hard to complete. Avoid the balls and destroy everything with your harpoon. What could go wrong?

Starship Troopers: Extermination left me wanting. Though it is a fun multiplayer experience, it is flawed. There isn't enough polish and the single-player campaign is laughable. Furthermore, the Galactic Front element felt like an afterthought. It is a shame as the gameplay can be hectic, challenging, and rewarding. If the developers polish things up, then maybe this can reach its potential.

While Soul Stalker is undoubtedly flawed, its price point feels like a recognition of its imperfections. For less than the price of a fast food meal, the title provides enough familiar fun to frame itself as a worthwhile investment against a genre where every game is determined to move upwards and remain unprecedented in quality. I can see myself launching Soul Stalker for a few runs every once in a while, and when so many roguelikes exist, eternally vying for attention, commitment is one of the best compliments I can give such a game.

Section 13 is an old-school isometric shooter title that lacks longevity. Though it is fun and there is potential, it never reaches its peak. I enjoyed it, but I was left wanting. More depth is required.

Hairdresser Simulator is oddly addictive. The simple mechanics and easy controls help you to master every element. However, there are too many glitches and the gameplay is extremely repetitive.

On one hand, the fact that Kowloon High-School Chronicle has made it out to the west is quite the result, but with nearly every feature either outdated or improved upon in genre games since, this cult-classic has not aged gracefully and might just prove a little too ‘retro’ for those bar the niche audience it’s aimed at.

Grid Ranger is a challenging shoot ‘em up with great visuals. Though harder to get used to, the mouse controls for this fast-paced shoot ‘em up was executed well. Unfortunately, the game is very short with only 3 levels. Grant it, the game is only $4 USD, so I wouldn’t expect a large amount of content. It only has the main 3 levels and an infinite mode, so there’s not a lot to do after playing through all of it. For what it is, it’s an enjoyable shoot ‘em up experience that had me coming back for more every time I died in a level.

Hex Gambit: Respawned is a casual strategy title that is flawed but fun. The short, sharp levels will push you to your limits, as will the lack of army freedom. This was frustrating, as I never truly felt in control of my destiny. However, when you play this online, things come to life. It is good, but there are better examples.

Castle Renovator is a ye olde building simulation title. Sadly, though, it is filled with bugs and visual issues that can't be ignored. However, once you work through these problems, you experience a fun, albeit repetitive game.

Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero on PC is a rewarding but flawed experience. Its unique grid-less combat, deep customization, and endgame content make it a standout within the strategy RPG scene. Marona’s story offers emotional moments and whimsical charm, even if the pacing drags and the narrative stakes feel low. On the downside, the PC version suffers from occasional crashes, physics bugs, and AI glitches that should have been ironed out before launch.

Garten of Banban 6 is a weird adventure experience that will confuse and impress you. However, the action was a little too strange for my liking and I found it hard to keep up. Moreover, though it is the best of a bad bunch, it is flawed.

It’s not quite a masterpiece, but hey, it’s certainly a “game” that will take up time in your life that you’ll never get back. Truly, an experience worth… well, nothing much.

Agriculture is a simple and cliched farming title. 50 stages stand between you and victory. However, unfortunately, the action rarely changes and this was disappointing. Yet, I still enjoyed it enough to recommend it.

Time Treker isn’t a genre-defining masterpiece, but it is a fun, affordable roguelike with a lot to offer fans of mech customization and top-down action. Its chaotic battles and deep loadout systems make for addictively replayable runs, even if the meta progression could be more satisfying long term. If you enjoy experimenting with builds, diving into bullet-hell arenas, and taking on ever-changing challenges, there’s real joy to be found here. Just don’t expect an emotionally engaging story or a slow, methodical campaign, this one’s all about fast, frantic fun.

63 Days is a harrowing and melancholy game that tells a fantastic but chilling story. Sadly, though, there are too many shortcomings and this prevents it from excelling. However, if you can look past the issues, you'll find a fascinating game to play.

Overall I had fun with Sanctuary Saga thanks to its great battle system and charming pixel art visuals. However, the lackluster story and the repeat walkthroughs of every area hurt the experience for me. If there were more enemies to fight, more dungeons to go through, or even more story sequences to play through I feel as though I would have had a better time as is. Fortunately, the developers are continuing to work on this game, even after its launch, but as it is now, this game is simply a decent experience.

Yaoling: Mythical Journey has an amazing presentation with a lot of creatures to fight and recruit, as well as many secrets in its world design. However, the general gameplay structure, while fun for a bit, limits the game from reaching its full potential.

I give it a 6/10 Not horrible, not amazing, dead straight in the middle. It seems like a good starting point; with plenty of opportunities to improve either their formula in this game or future ones.

For fans of the series, Goblin Slayer -Another Adventurer- Nightmare Feast provides an enjoyable tactical RPG that expands on the lore. However, for those looking for a deep and engaging strategy RPG with extensive character development and exploration, this might not be the best choice. Ultimately, whether you’ll enjoy this game depends on your expectations and your appreciation for the Goblin Slayer franchise.

Outward is quite the divisive title and will likely continue to be a dichtomy amongst gamers. Some will love the lack of hand holding, the long walks and the creative combination of crafting and survival gameplay, while others will pick apart its average implementation and frustrating mechanics.

Performance wise, I encountered several crashes and the game sometimes freezes for a couple of second when I enter a match. These crashes and freezes occurs randomly throughout my playthrough so I cannot tell you exactly what is causing the crashes.

Witchcrafty is a cute and adorable Metroidvania-lite game. However, performance issues and poor controls let it down. If you can overlook the shortcomings, you'll wade through a plethora of challenging stages and brutal mechanics. As such, this isn't a game for the faint of heart.
