    METRO QUESTER: OSAKA
    "Metro Quester: Osaka" is a dungeon-crawler RPG inspired by the classic 80s aesthetic. A great title for an explorative, challenging experience and unique art style.

    King Arthur: Knight's Tale
    King Arthur: Knight's Tale is an interesting hybrid title that has some unusual elements. However, the bland level design and repetitive overworld hold it back. Had these layers been improved, this would have held my attention throughout. As it is, I recommend it as I know others will forgive these shortcomings.

    Roots of Pacha
    Roots of Pacha is a wholesome and touching life-sim that offers few surprises. However, the sense of belonging and the heartfelt storyline was pleasant to experience. Alongside this, I loved the mini-games and the fun world to explore. Yet, if you are after something new, this may not tick that box.

    Welcome to ParadiZe
    Welcome to Paradize is a fun and testing zombie survival game. The large open world is a joy to explore and killing hordes of undead brain munchers never gets old. However, the sense of grind is enough to put you off and drive you mad.

    Go Mecha Ball
    Go Mecha Ball is a wonderful rogue-like title. Its fast-paced nature is tough to manage, but once you get on top of things, and you understand the fundamentals, you'll progress at a healthy pace. If you scream at brutally tough games, you will have a very hoarse throat after playing this.

    Volgarr the Viking II
    Volgarr the Viking II is a cruel and often unfair game that will push your buttons. This extremely tough title will attract a niche audience. Accordingly, many gamers will be put off. Unfortunately, this sequel isn't as good as its predecessor and that disappointed me.

    Megaloot
    Megaloot is an addictive Inventory Management Roguelike RPG, where meticulous loot management paves the way for creating diverse and powerful builds. Combine deck cards and loot strategically to craft dominating builds and become the ultimate power hunter.

    Disaster Band
    Disaster Band is a rhythm-based musical experience that can be played alone or with friends. The songs vary from basic tracks to complex and fast-paced tunes. The simplicity may be off putting, but I enjoyed the user-friendly approach. The limited gameplay will appeal to a niche audience and the repetitive action may disappoint some.

    Landnama
    I can appreciate its simplicity, and I love a good Norse theme, but Landnama could benefit from more variety and innovation.

    Closer the Distance
    Closer The Distance is a beautiful story full of interesting characters. Its core themes are very touching and are explored excellently, even if the gameplay method it uses to do so is a little strange.

    Tomba! Special Edition
    In conclusion, the Tomba! Special Edition is a lovingly crafted tribute to a game that deserves to be remembered. While it may not be for everyone, especially those who prefer more polished, modern experiences. It’s a must-play for fans of retro games or anyone looking to explore a unique piece of gaming history. This edition goes above and beyond, offering a mix of nostalgia and new features that make it a worthwhile experience for both old fans and newcomers alike​.

    Hairdresser Simulator
    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.

    Thief Simulator 2
    Breaking the law isn’t my go-to route. However, Thief Simulator 2 lets you experience that naughty and seedy path. The action is captivating and I loved the sense of tension. Furthermore, the freedom to explore each small area or plan an elaborate heist was impressive. Yes, there are shortcomings, but this rarely matters.

    Core Keeper
    This is a genre that attracts a large but particular audience. Yet, the freedom to do as you wish, and the multiplayer action make it more viable for casual gamers. What’s more, the fascinating character progression, the hidden secrets, the unlockable vendors, and much more make this stand out from its peers.

    KAKU: Ancient Seal
    If you’re looking for a game that balances action with moments of thoughtful puzzle-solving, KAKU: Ancient Seal is well worth your time. It’s a journey that, much like its art style, feels like a warm, playful nod to the past while carving out its own space in the present.

    Tales from Toyotoki: Arrival of the Witch
    Tales From Toyotoki: Arrival Of The Witch is a feat in visual art design and a compelling story of love, friendship and social hardships mixed in with fantasy mystery. With this being a visual novel, gameplay here is non-existent so it’s important to set your expectations right, but if you are looking for a gripping and intriguing story, this is the game for you. While I wish the game could have been just a little bit longer, the audio design and soundtrack help propel this into a truly memorable experience.

    Kitsune Tails
    If you are a fan of challenging platformers, and are in desire for a queer-friendly plot, Kitsune Tails is an excellent option to enjoy.

    The Fall of Aether Station
    While it may not be the most accessible game for casual players, those who enjoy a good challenge will find The Fall of Aether Station to be a rewarding and highly engaging experience. It’s a game that requires patience, strategic thinking, and a willingness to adapt—qualities that are richly rewarded as you defend your space station against an ever-evolving enemy.

    Deadlink
    Deadlink delivers a fast-paced, action-packed FPS roguelite experience with a striking cyberpunk aesthetic, though its steep difficulty and intense visual style might not appeal to all players.

    Shift Legacy Collection
    The Shift Legacy Collection is an evolution of an interesting game mechanic, from the simple, easy levels of the original Shift to the sprawling levels of Shift 4. The puzzles hold up better than the platforming, but it's a nice trip down memory lane for some, and an afternoon of light puzzle-platforming for everyone else.

    Crown Wars: The Black Prince
    Crown Wars: The Black Prince is a game I should have loved. However, glitches, poor acting, and problems undermine every ounce of potential. When it works, the action is fantastic. However, these moments are fleeting and this will leave you frustrated.

    Galacticare
    Galacticare is a fun-filled and hectic space simulation title. This manic game competes with its peers whilst offering some hilarious and unique elements. Yes, the gameplay occasionally plateaus, but this is a minor complaint.

    To the Stars
    While the game initially draw’s you in, the lack of strategic challenge quickly turns the experience stale. If you’re looking for a quick, casual rogue like strategy game, To The Stars might scratch that itch. But if you’re after a more nuanced, challenging RTS experience, you may find yourself disappointed. To The Stars shines in some areas but ultimately falls short of the brilliance it could have achieved.

    Leximan
    While it suffers from a strange fascination with minigames, Leximan skillfully stitches together its many parts. A good sense of humour, nice writing and an enjoyable, if somewhat unexplored, central mechanic make Leximan a delight to play.

    The Lullaby of Life
    The Lullaby of Life is a cozy, sound-based puzzle game tackling the complexities of creation and evolution with the simplest of gameplay.

    Cartel Tycoon
    Cartel Tycoon is a fine simulation title. The light-hearted story and interesting characters break the mould. Furthermore, the varied missions and challenging action will push genre veterans. As such, there is something for everyone.

    Artifice: War Tactics
    Artifice: War Tactics is an odd blend of Xcom and chess. This hybrid approach may frustrate purists, but I loved the rogue-like mechanics and the challenging gameplay. Additionally, it works perfectly on Steam Deck.

    Timemelters
    Whilst the story of TimeMelters is not much to shout home about, the game’s fantastic time-altering mechanics and strategy focus make this game unique and such damn fun at times! A robust skill tree and fun co-op help create longevity and great soundtrack and audio design help you immerse yourself in the fantasy world of Hogendale. Whilst it’s a shame its presentation is lacking and its enemy design is forgettable, it’s still worth your time due to how much of a blast the game can be.

    White Day 2: The Flower That Tells Lies - Complete Edition
    White Day 2: The Flower That Tells Lies doesn't quite fulfil my expectations. However, when it excels, it is a fascinating horror experience. Sadly, though, it doesn't quite live up to its predecessor. Additionally, it is reasonably repetitive, and the jump scares are predictable as a consequence. If you can put the shortcomings to one side, you'll adore the atmospheric audio design and the exceptional puzzles. Furthermore, there are multiple endings to enjoy if you can work through the pain.

    Closer the Distance
    Closer The Distance is a hard game to get through. Not because it is difficult but because of the emotional rollercoaster it took me on. Each character has their grief that the player has to help them through, and the interactions between the various characters in Yesterby are intricate and complicated. It’s a powerful narrative, held back by some clunky controls on the console and some lulls in the gameplay. The game is still vital in pushing game narratives in directions that I don’t see too often. This game is worth checking out if you can handle the emotional journey it takes you on.
