    Is Mamorukun ReCurse! for everyone? No. Is Mamorukun ReCurse! even for most people? Probably not. The game caters to a very niche audience with its gameplay and art style, but that shouldn’t take away from the fact that the package on offer is solid, and those who appreciate the genre will find it a decent addition to their collection.

    Undungeon is a story of unrealized potential, with a well-written fantasy sci-fi story and stunning visuals, it could have allowed this indie Kickstarter title to really make some noise, but its repetitive action can’t stretch to meet a running time that’s double the length it should be, allowing tedium to settle in long before the end.

    Albacete Warrior is a 3D fighting game full of humour and satire. Consequently, it'll be enjoyed by a niche audience. Furthermore, its immature approach will make some of you chuckle endlessly, whereas others will be completely turned off. On top of this, the poor controls and the horrible depth perception make it tough to play.

    City Eye could be a phenomenal simulation title. With interesting mechanics and promising gameplay, it could evolve to be something special. However, at the moment, a lack of content holds it back. If new crimes were added, and additional services implemented, it would be much better.

    Asterix and Obelix: Slap them all! is a fun yet familiar beat-em-up title. It doesn't break the mould and there are better examples of the genre. However, it looks great, has a wonderful soundtrack, and will make you laugh.

    Formula Legends neither caters to the casual fans enough with simple controls, nor offers a comprehensive history lesson that the hardcore might enjoy. Instead, it tries its best to satisfy both audiences, but its identity crisis (and lack of licenses) makes it difficult to please anyone. It may be an interesting option for those looking to experiment with a semi-realistic racing game, but it’s difficult to see why anyone would choose it over competing titles.

    The Smurfs Village Party is a solo and multiplayer experience. If you love Mario Party, you'll adore the mini-games. However, the adventure mode feels like an afterthought, which wasn't very pleasant. Furthermore, some bugs and glitches prevent it from excelling.

    Greedfall: The Dying World is an interesting addition the franchise. With a fascinating story, large open world, and excellent audio, this offers plenty of atmospheric gameplay. However, it is let down by performance issues that need ironing out. Once the problems are resolved, this will be a great game.

    Gambonanza attempts to merge chess and roguelike, and the end result is a mixed bag. A bright spark for the first few runs, but relentless repetition causes it to fizzle out in the end.

    Three Minutes to Eight is a strange old-school point-and-click adventure. Its bizarre theme should be applauded. However, it rarely works. As such, you are left scratching your head throughout. Yet, I enjoyed the developers' desire to explore an unusual subject. As such, despite the shortcomings, I enjoyed it.

    An ambitious RTS that attempts to shoulder the legacy of its predecessors. The skirmish combat remains fun and the campaign map has potential, but it's let down by wonky AI and a confusing difficulty curve.

    B.I.O.T.A had some problems that held it back. Its repetitive gameplay, playable characters feels the same, and headache inducing colors ruined my overall experience. For me, this wasn’t a game that can itch that NES or Gameboy Color nostalgia cravings but, I can see why this game can be perfect for others. It is easy to pick up and fun to play. I do wish that the developer can improve more and I will be looking forward on their next project.

    Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection features 14 classic Gameboy-era Yu-Gi-Oh! titles, serving as an incredibly faithful remaster filled with strategy, nostalgia, and card duels.

    The Last Case of John Morley is dripping with atmosphere and the story has a lot of potential, but it's dragged down by uninspired gameplay and an underdeveloped protagonist.

    Whateverland is an enjoyable Point and Click adventure, if a little rushed. The mini-games are a welcomed alternative to the standard gameplay loops, helping to keep things feeling fresh and new. The Burton-esque visual designs expertly capture the extraterrestrial ambiance, which is similarly matched with the games OST. While the overarching story and character narratives are pleasant, they suffer from a lack of development, occasionally resulting in a flat experience. Personally, I can offer a light recommendation to seek this one out.

    From the opening, you could see Clouzy’s potential. The developers pushed for a cute and laidback adventure and that’s what you get. Sadly, however, it never really develops, and this impacts its appeal and depth. Despite its shortcomings, I enjoyed it casually.

    Train life- A railway simulator is a beautiful game as well with all the scenery as players pass by. The trains offer a lot of detail from both the inside as well as the outside and I found myself being pulled further into the simulation as I passed by signs telling me I was going too fast or during moments when I realized that the train needed some fuel. This is definitely a fun game for those looking to get into the genre but is also good for those who have a lot of experience in the genre.

    I highly recommend checking out “Be my Horde”, especially given its affordable price. It’s a game that rewards strategic thinking and planning ahead, and with continued development, it has the potential to become a standout title in its genre. Keep an eye on future updates, as they are likely to bring even more depth and variety to this already promising game.

    Achilles: Legends Untold is an isometric action-RPG that has tough combat, good progression and a great plot. Let down slightly by over-promising, bad voice acting and underused mechanics, it’s still one worth checking out.

    Overall, for a very low price, this game provides a lot of content which is very easy to pick up and fun to get on with and I look forward to what the developers at Nerial do next.

    The fetch quests sandwiched between the story also provide you with materials for you to create and customize new weapons, or Maglams, but with move-sets that feel identical, this does little to make the action seem any different from first to last.

    Backrooms Level X is a retro horror experience that is fun but short. Furthermore, it doesn't offer anything more than any of its peers. Accordingly, it ticks a few boxes, but it'll leave you wanting.

    I hate to use this term but Enclave HD really feels like a cheap attempt at remastering a cult classic. The story still holds up well and a fantastic updated soundtrack helps fans of the original game find reason to revisit. With dated combat, awful enemy design and AI and visuals that really have been left in the past, Enclave HD is a another lack lustre attempt to remaster in today’s era of video games. Better to have been laid to rest in the past.

    Wildcat Gun Machine is a brutal and hard-hitting bullet-hell adventure. You must scour dungeons searching for keys and killing your foes. Make your life easier by upgrading your hero and finding new weapons. It is tough, looks fantastic, but is also confusing as hell.

    Death Howl will undoubtedly attract more players in the future and retain its positive reviews It's a fun, unique and somewhat addictive deckbuilder with appealing artwork, multiple different card combinations, along with some vibrant locations. Whilst the difficulty and constant grinding put me off of it, I still think there's a great game to be found amongst the enemies you'll constantly have to overcome to progress further.

    Though I think that overall, the game's positives outweigh the negatives, I had a difficult time really getting into it. I felt that everything was pretty standard for what I might expect in other strategic roguelites and there wasn't anything in particular stood out to me as a player. Still, perhaps one to consider if you are a fan of the genre!

    In my humble opinion, The Thaumaturge is a AAA Open World wanna-be game but with limitations. In other words, a gem that is shaped but lack of fine edges. The story and background settings are amazing. Yet, from the world structure to minor details. The limitation of the game has many, such as loading section in between of traveling, the map for exploration isn’t that big enough, the animation lack of details, etc. Despite of all the mentioned, the game still has something to offer. The story campaign, the thaumaturgy and detective investigation puzzles. The Thaumaturge still worth to play if you love any gameplay elements I just mentioned.

    Opus: Echo of Starsong-Full bloom edition gives players a heartfelt adventure without asking for 40+ hours of their time. Since there is a heavy focus on music, players can expect to hear a beautiful soundtrack accompanied by Voice acting which was added to the Full bloom edition. The game runs well on the switch and is perfect for the on the go play but since players cannot save manually, it is important to dedicate time to playing the game.

    Besiege Console has a fun experimental edge and tough physics-based mechanics. I loved building crazy machines to complete each level. However, I struggled with the floppy controls. Furthermore, it felt a little hectic and too much luck and not enough judgement. This wasn't my cup of tea, but lovers of the genre will fall for its charms.

    While it could entertain for a short while, it lacks the depth or innovation needed to keep players invested in the long term. If you’re looking for something fresh or groundbreaking, The Executive likely won’t scratch that itch. It’s a perfectly fine experience, but one that’s all too familiar, and in this oversaturated market, that’s simply not enough to make it stand out.
