Spellcaster University is a niche magical experience. Can you build a university and work with every faction? Though the tutorial could have been better, trial and error and an excellent UI keep you on track.

Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate wasn't the game for me. Sadly, it is repetitive and the action was too easy. Though it wasn't my cup of tea, I can understand why people will love it.

Creature Keeper has a nice world and the gameplay has promise but its so loosely put together that it all falls apart by the end.

RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic is a faithful remaster of the original two RCT games. Build rollercoasters, customize your theme park, and make money in this gold-standard management simulator.

The Precinct is a fantastic police adventure title. It is grim, gritty, and full of crime. You must rise to the top as you arrest every scumbag and discover the truth behind your dad's death. A must-play indie experience.

In the current era of gaming, straightforward mechanics paired with a linear gameplay loop combine to form a product often misinterpreted as only being able to amount to a shallow, uninteresting time investment. Devout gamers, who now wander an evergrowing market of sophisticated, expansive experiences, deserve the reminder that simple, refined games can be just as enticing, exciting, and artistic as big-budget, cutting-edge titles. This collection is a passionate reminder of such a fact, serving as a love letter to the NES era of colorful, addicting gameplay while also shining a glowing spotlight on how chiptunes fueled so many of those classic experiences.

Amerzone - The Explorer's Legacy is a wonderful remake that will impress modern audiences. The beautiful scenery is captivating and the puzzles will test you. Furthermore, the plot is outlandish but great to experience.

Botany Manor is a fantastic game with an interesting story, great and balanced puzzles, pleasing soundtracks, visually it’s like a painting. it has about 4 hours of content. I definitely recommend trying this game even if you are not a fan of the puzzle genre.

Steredenn: Binary Stars is a high-energy roguelike shoot ’em up with tight mechanics, endless variety, and brutal bosses. While it doesn’t take advantage of PS5-specific features, it runs smoothly and delivers pure arcade joy for fans of challenging gameplay.

This isn’t a management sim; it’s a waiting room with spells. It scratches the surface of genre expectations but never commits to depth or consequence. For players seeking an actual challenge or meaningful engagement, this is not your class. To put it simply: if you came looking to graduate from novice to master, you might want to transfer. In this school, the only lesson is how little a game can offer while still looking like it’s teaching something.

The Great Circle is nothing short of being one of the greatest games ever created with a swashbuckling adventure, brilliant and innovative gameplay, jaw dropping visuals and audio design and score off the charts. All I can say is thank you so much to Machine Games and Bethesda; playing this game felt like taking a time capsule back to my childhood, sat by my dad watching Raiders with not a care in the world. Indiana Jones has found a new lease of life in video games and I’m confident this wont be the last I see of this iconic character.

The deceptively simple gameplay is dangerously addictive, and StarVaders bolts it to a bright, colourful exterior.

I was drawn into this Nordic world from the off. Spirit of the North 2 is a phenomenal game that reinvigorates your childish imagination. Every juicy layer of lore and ever-changing environment was spectacular to witness. Additionally, the cutscenes between the fox and the freed guardians touch your soul.

Shadow of the Orient is an old-school platformer that will appeal to veteran gamers. However, it isn't as polished as I expected and this caused frustration. Additionally, too many bugs and repetitive action undermine the core ideas.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a fantastic Metroidvania Sci-fi adventure. It can be enjoyed alone or locally and online with another. The drip-fed mechanics, exploration elements, and vibrant worlds are a joy to experience. Though the action can sometimes feel overwhelming, this shouldn't put you off. Accordingly, it is a gem of a game and a must-play experience.

Save your time, your sanity, and your PC’s dignity. There are far better ways to relive your Snake nostalgia than this disaster.

Sorry We're Closed is strange but great to play. The dated visuals and stiff controls will not appeal to everyone, but I enjoyed a trip down memory lane.

Tiny Echo gets an 8/10 from me. Not because it’s the most exciting thing I’ve played, but because it has a clear identity, executes it beautifully, and reminds us that sometimes games don’t need to be loud or long to leave an impression.

Lost Records Bloom & Rage is another gem in the now revered catalogue of Don’t Nod Entertainment. Sporting a set of characters that are so wonderful, and propelled by powerful voice acting, the tale will stay long in memory. Gorgeous visuals and a superb soundtrack help make this game a beauty to behold. The camcorder gameplay mechanic is a fantastic addition to an otherwise solid, if not spectacular gameplay design. Whilst the main plot can get bogged down by some minor issues, the characters themselves help seal this game as another memorable adventure.

LONESTAR had potential, but it burns out fast. Once the novelty fades, you’re left with a shallow loop, forgettable unlocks, and no real reason to keep playing. It’s not broken, just hollow — and not worth the effort.

GoobnBalloonsDX is an interesting and fun indie title. However, it will not set the world alight and the repetitive action may disappoint. I liked the old-school approach and the relatively easy to follow mechanics.

The Darkest Files is more than a game; it’s a profound exploration of justice, memory, and the human capacity for both denial and redemption. Through its compelling narrative and innovative gameplay, Paintbucket Games offers players a chance to engage with a pivotal moment in history, challenging them to consider the cost of truth and the courage required to pursue it.

A brilliant dissection of the emotional baggage that comes with time travel. Old Skies showcases excellent writing and a handful of clever gameplay moments, even if it leans on time loops a bit much.

Damn! is a simple twin-stick shooter that will not test you. Though it is repetitive, I liked the stage design and the 5 unique missions on offer. Furthermore, it ran smoothly and I enjoyed the additional arena-based mode.

Frane: Dragons' Odyssey should have been a great old-school RPG experience. However, it fails to hit the mark and much of the gameplay is lacking. Thankfully KEMCO has a great library of amazing RPGs to pick from.

Maliki: Poison of the Past offers a rich blend of strategic gameplay, emotional storytelling, and immersive world-building. Its unique mechanics and compelling narrative make it a standout title for fans of tactical RPGs and story-driven games. The beautiful art style, and incredible score, and light hearted story telling ensures a memorable gaming experience.​

Polterguys: Possession Party is hectic, fun, and great with friends. However, dead servers are holding it back. If the player base improves, this will be a game that goes from strength to strength.

A pointless, mindless nonsense that many people will play for no logical reason. Call me old-fashioned, but I still believe games should involve playing. Not just watching, waiting, or opening your wallet.
