It’s the kind of game you’ll forget as soon as you hit the “quit” button. If you’re looking for a fun, engaging roguelike, look elsewhere. This one is nothing but a cash grab in martial arts clothing. It’s a swing and a miss, and it’s best left ignored.

Tap Wizard 2 is an idle auto-battler that is easy to play. However, it is strangely addictive and I struggled to put it down. I loved the pixelated graphics, upbeat audio, and easy controls. Though this won't be for everyone, it is a great casual indie title.

The freedom to explore a gigantic, living world proves to be a bit of a double-edged sword. Exciting exploration, nice boss fights and the thrill of conquering a world spars against dry writing and a touch of repetition in the combat.

Until Dawn is one of my favourite games of all time and thankfully Ballistic Moon have managed to craft a remake that keeps everything I love so dearly about the original. Great story additions add to an already brilliant horror tale, whilst small but impactful gameplay additions help keep the game fresh. Stunning visuals and voice work remain, along with strong sound design and score. It’s just a shame framerate issues take away from overall presentation and a truly baffling decision by Sony to price this game as a full price AAA game will stop old and new players from enjoying this seminal tale. But for me, this remains the king of narrative horror. See you at dawn!

FlipCat is a simple but fun retro platformer with a perspective twist. If you adore old-school gaming this should be on your radar. Disappointingly, it is too short.

Refind Self: The Personality Test Game is positively unusual with high re-playability.

Petit Island is a wholesome family-friendly game that is wonderful to play. The slow action may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you like to relax and explore, this should be on your radar. It is easy to play and children will need little guidance to enjoy the story.

Pretty and full of heartfelt moments, it nevertheless struggles to engage with its rigid structure and frequently dull dialogue.

The gameplay is nothing more than an exercise in frustration. With tedious puzzles and a clunky chase mechanic that only serves to waste your time. The whole experience feels like it was slapped together in a weekend with no care or effort. If you’re looking for something enjoyable, Softie isn’t it.

For fans of the original game, Aiko’s Choice is a solid, if not spectacular return to the series. A middling story and short length threaten to derail the game but thankfully with its addictive gameplay and gorgeous visuals, this game is certainly worth fans’ time. Coupled with superb sound design and a beautiful atmospheric score, the return to feudal Japan is a positive one.

The Legend of Cyber Cowboy is a twin-stick shooter with some minor roguelite elements. However, the gameplay lacks balance and this causes frustration. The developer needs to balance the weapons otherwise people will rage quit and uninstall it extremely quickly. Despite the issues, I kept at it and enjoyed the fun, albeit challenging action.

Songs of Silence is a fun but challenging auto-battler strategy title. I normally overlook minor issues, however the frame rate and lack of balance make this a particularly tough game to play. PC gamers may not experience the same issues, but console gamers will need this ironing out.

Bronana is a fun and addictive roguelike that is ideal for a casual experience. However, the gameplay lacks balance and this was frustrating. If the developer can resolve the minor issues, this will be a great game.

If you’re in it for the spectacle of giant robots and tactical combat, MechWarrior 5: Clans might just scratch that itch. Just be prepared to forgive its many missteps and focus on what truly matters—making things go boom.

Albatroz is a stunning game of self-discovery. Moreover, the story is interesting and the setting is wonderful. Though it won't be for everyone, I fell for its melancholy charms.

REDACTED is a fun but challenging roguelike experience. The RNG elements may piss you off. Furthermore, the grindy layer could be too much. However, if you can work through these elements, you'll love the action that lies ahead.

Killing Time: Resurrected is an old-school Boomer-Shooter with a rudimentary approach. However, the big map and strange ideas are captivating. Moreover, I love the FMV and the storytelling. If you want a challenging experience, you'll have to look elsewhere.

Orange Season was disappointing! This tried and tested genre should have been fun. However, the gameplay was flat and the game is so buggy that you will become annoyed. Unless it gets some serious updates, this is one to avoid!

The story, the jokes and ear massaging voice acting, make LocoMotive something worth a recommendation.

Jackbox Naughty Pack is an adult themed gaming experience. Though the content is a little silly, it will make you laugh with the right group. Moreover, each game is relatively short and this makes a great ice breaker. However, there is limited appeal if you don't have a great group of friends.

Kong: Survivor Instinct is a puzzle platformer that lacks bite. Unfortunately, the developers never unleashed the reigns and this prevented it from reaching its potential. This was a shame as Kong and the other titans didn't sit in the spotlight for long enough.

Jackbox Survey Scramble is a fun family-friendly title. The mini-games are great and it is perfect if you have a good group of friends. If you are used to the franchise, you will know what to expect.

If you’re in the market for a game that combines spaceship repair with existential crises and absurd humour, Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop is well worth checking out

Parcel Corps is a fun casual game. However, it can become repetitive if you play it for long periods. As such, this is ideal if you want a break from COD or other time-sink endeavours.

Dagon: Complete Edition is a love letter to some of HP Lovecraft’s earliest tales. It tells gripping narratives across four separate tales with superb visuals and sound design. This type of media is certainly not for everyone but for fans of Lovecraft there is enough to satisfy your hunger with the in game collectibles on offer to uncover. It’s just a shame the experience is extremely short; I long for games that can tell these tales but in a AAA format. But for now, this will certainly do.

Necro Story is a fun auto-battler with an interesting story. Moreover, I enjoyed the tactical approach and the interesting world. My only complaint is the slow opening segment.

Totally Spies! Cyber Mission is a fun but simple family-friendly title. Your kids will adore this 3-player experience. Furthermore, the dialogue is light-hearted, albeit annoying for adults. It is straightforward and lacking in difficulty, but this isn't a complaint. Accordingly, your children can tackle it with little guidance.

The video game equivalent of sinking into a nice, warm bath. While it could lean a bit harder into its own coziness, it creates a lovely atmosphere and pairs it with some simple, pleasant puzzles.
