    Tekken 8 is a giant leap forward for this incredible franchise. The deep and interesting story is accompanied by awesome multiplayer action. Moreover, the introduction of new mechanics will impress veteran gamers. The only shortcoming is that minor players feel an afterthought in the plot.

    Persona 3 Reload is a remake that proves that small changes add up. This genre-defining JRPG will impress the toughest of critics. Furthermore, it looks amazing and has a story to match. Accordingly, this isn't a game to miss!

    Dead Space (2023) is an incredible remake of a much-loved game. With improved graphics, awesome sound, and amazing tweaks to many mechanics, this has to be seen to be believed. Furthermore, the seamless transition between chapters and the enhanced AI creates an immersive and petrifying experience. Consequently, this is one remake that won't let you down.

    Darkest Dungeon II is a dark turn-based roguelite game characterized by its extreme difficulty, grotesque aesthetics and cruel but enjoyable battles. If you are someone who always loved a great challenge, enjoyed that retro comic style in the 80s or simply have been a soul-like fan, DDII is indubiously going to satisfy your appetite.

    Monster Energy Supercross 6 is an incredible addition to the franchise. Thanks to its deep career mode and excellent online action, this will keep you busy. On top of this, the graphics are amazing and the audio is obnoxious but brilliant. Furthermore, the difficulty settings and academy make this perfect for veterans and newcomers alike.

    Afterimage is a phenomenal non-linear adventure title. With an incredible story, amazing aesthetics, and slick combat, this shouldn't be missed. My only complaint is that the large world can be overwhelming.

    New Star GP is an old-school racing title that is addictive and fun. Furthermore, it can be enjoyed alone or on one screen with friends. The action is fast-paced, aggressive, and ridiculous. However, it has an ounce of tactical nuance to add depth.

    Overall, I liked it. I had a fun time and can definitely see myself coming back to this one every so often. One full run took me around 2 hours to complete. For me, I probably won’t ever spend all day playing, but a run or two here and there certainly. Gameplay elements are simple and easy to understand, and therefore easy to pick-up and play any time. ITER-8 isn’t without flaws and could use with some more polishing and content, but I think what is here is pretty good. I’d happily recommend it to fans of the genre, especially to those who have played Dome Keeper before.

    Airhead is a captivating Metroidvania experience. Furthermore, it has some testing but enjoyable puzzles. Yet, it is its user-friendly approach that makes it stand out from its peers. As such, this is a great indie title that is well-balanced and enjoyable to play.

    Rough Justice: '84 is an unusual hybrid board game experience. Furthermore, the trial and error and RNG elements will put many gamers off. However, if you can battle through the learning curve and enjoy the layers of luck, you will adore every gritty moment. My only complaint is things can feel very unfair when luck isn't on your side!

    Unknown Number: A First Person Talker is a one of a kind title. This groundbreaking game will creep you out while making you think. Can you solve the cryptic clues and drive the story forward? Enjoy the simple approach, the atmospheric aesthetics, and the uncomfortable nature of the plot.

    Despite these shortcomings, Eden Genesis is a commendable achievement. It’s a game that demands your attention and rewards your perseverance. By blending challenging platforming with a thought-provoking narrative, Eden Genesis offers a gaming experience that is both exhilarating and intellectually stimulating. Whether you’re a seasoned platformer veteran or a newcomer to the genre, Eden Genesis is a game worth experiencing.

    Garden Life: A Cozy Simulator is a heart-warming and touching game. Furthermore, its attention to detail is fascinating. However, the small gaming world may disappoint some gamers. I loved the characters, the audio, and the straightforward mechanics. As such, this slow-paced title should be enjoyed between fast-paced triple-A titles.

    Let me make it clear that I am no fan of Rouge-likes or Rouge-lites and I certainly have not watched a second of Fairy Tail, but still, I had a blast with this one. Now take that as you will but as far as I am concerned, Fairy Tail: Dungeons is a recommendation from me.

    Astlibra Revision is a prime example of what time and dedication can achieve. Its narrative expertly blends time travel concepts with high fantasy tropes, creating a captivating and memorable experience. Combat sequences, whilst chaotic at times, are unbelievably addictive and entertaining. Additionally, the numerous customisation options means you’ll easily be able to find something that suits your playstyle. Visually, it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. Yet, it still manages to retain its own charmful, and alluring qualities. Lastly, the musical arrangements cover a wide array of genres. All of which feature fantastic instrumentation, and spectacular melodies. Truly, what KEIZO and his team have managed to create here is nothing short of outstanding. I highly recommend everyone to seek this one out ASAP.

    Wo Long Fallen Dynasty Complete Edition is a cruel and challenging souls-like experience. However, it is more forgiving than its peers. As such, this could be a great place to start for newbies. Alongside this, it is as good alone as it is with other gamers.

    Death Stranding 2: On The Beach hits the right balance of calm and chaos I was looking for. A fascinating world, with decent gameplay mechanics that, rather annoyingly, it keeps trying to trivialise.

    MotoGP 22 is a phenomenal addition to the franchise. The career mode will keep you busy for hours, and the other modes are equally as good. It's tough to master but the driving aids help casual players get up to speed. An excellent addition to the series even if it rehashes some much-loved elements.

    The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a phenomenal addition to this much-loved franchise. With excellent acting and some fantastic plot twists, this will keep you entertained throughout. Furthermore, it has plenty of replay value. My only complaint is that each of the chapters should have been longer.

    Galactic Glitch is a sci-fi-inspired rogue-like that is fun but often cruel. This physics-based experience will test your luck, patience, and skills as you flit from node to node. Moreover, you will have to grind away as upgrades and progress don't come easily.

    Kamikaze Lassplanes is an Ecchi visual novel with a bizarre twist. Gambles like this rarely pay off, but the developer has done a great job with both genres. If you love a strange but interesting plot and Shmup gameplay, then this should be part of your gaming library.

    It’s super fun, engrossing, punchy and just absolutely awesome. I give this game an 8.5/10 With super minor flaws like the story and characters, but this still absolutely skyrockets to one of my favorite roguelikes out there!

    Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is a fun-filled casual mobile experience. Moreover, it helps scratch that COD itch. With smooth controls and an adjustable UI, this is a great addition to the franchise. The touch controls are workable, but they are improved with a mobile gaming controller. Unfortunately, install issues and latency problems undermine the polished finish.

    Golden Lap is a refined sports simulation experience that is full of tension and drama. I loved the addictive gameplay, but I cursed the developers for their cruel approach. Anything can happen as the season unfolds. Consequently, you will be kept on your toes throughout.

    PlateUp! is a fantastic rogue-lite cooking simulation title. What's more, it is infuriating, addictive, and original. Play solo or with friends as you cook, burn, and serve every meal to impatient customers. Can you make everyone happy, or will your restaurant be shut for good?

    Shadows of Doubt is an incredible and must-play detective simulation game. Thanks to its procedurally generated world, you never know what to expect. Moreover, a vibrant but grim atmosphere hangs in the air like a bad smell. Can you solve every crime you encounter? Search for the clues, piece together the evidence, and point the finger! This is one indie title that you cannot afford to miss. [Early Access Score = 85]

    The biggest problem comes from the grind. The prices for these unlocks are too expensive once you pass the early game. After a while It takes multiple runs to unlock a single stat upgrade for a single weapon. This expensiveness problem becomes even more unbearable when unlocking new abilities.

    Wild West Dynasty has a good foundation, but it needs work. If you want a polished and engaging experience, wait for further development. However, if you're an Early Access enthusiast who enjoys the Wild West setting and can forgive the problems, you might find some fun in building your own frontier town.

    Mission: Rift Seeker is a game that has launched in early access. The game has solid fundamentals and is a fun colony simulation game. The game teaches you how to start your base and gives you a solid foundation with room to experiment and learn how to let your seekers thrive. However, for a game that revolves around sending your minions to do things, I wish I had more control over my seekers. I also wish things in the game were more clear about how they worked. For those looking for a colony simulation game, this is one to keep track of, as it’s still in early access. In its current state, it is a game that I can’t recommend at the moment.

    Disney Dreamlight Valley is a wonderful family focused experience. With colourful Disney and Pixar characters, and safe and fun gameplay, you can laugh, smile, and relax as you save Dreamlight Valley. Mostly, this is an excellent title. However, the resource gathering is a grind and there are some bugs. Yet, these are minor when you consider the overall presentation and the incredible gameplay. [Early Access Provisional Score = 80]

    I think, at the end of the day this title’s biggest problem is that there’s just not enough of it. However, if future content is up to the same standard as what we’ve got right now, I think Oaken will end up in a very good place. [Early Access Provisional Score = 75]

    The Dark Prophecy is a classic point-and-click title that will fill you with nostalgia. What's more, it has some excellent characters, crazy locations, and some witty and sharp dialogue. However, it is sadly too short if you are a veteran of the genre. But don't let this deter you from playing this retro-inspired game. [Early Access Provisional Score = 80]

    Ultimate Fishing Simulator 2 is a fantastic sports simulation title. With an array of branded gear to buy and over 60 species of fish to hunt, there is something for everybody. What’s more, it’s visually impressive and beautiful to look at. I cannot wait to see how much it evolves during its short 6-month Early Access period. After this, gamers from all platforms will be able to enjoy the phenomenal fishing action.

    In a market muddled with subpar survival games, V Rising is a noticeable step above the rest. The vampire aesthetic is executed upon phenomenally well, and the ARPG mechanics match the themes to perfection. Progression and base building are intuitively designed, and feature some nice range of depth to them. All in all, this is a superb game and a much-welcomed change of pace. It should only serve to get better once it eventually leaves early access. [Early Access Provisional Score = 80]

    Phasmophobia is a truly spectacular horror title. This Early Access game is brilliant when you tackle it alone. However, if you have like-minded friends, it is phenomenal. This is one horror game that you do not want to miss. [Early Access Provisional Score = 90]
