Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! is a fantastic game that is perfect for newcomers to the Puzzle Bobble series. This title has fun, addicting gameplay, lots of different modes and levels, and is presented beautifully. While it has some flaws such as its annoying voice acting and lackluster story, the game is still enjoyable throughout the runtime. Overall Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! is a fantastic game that you should pick up if you are interested in puzzle games or arcade games.

Brotato is an exceptional arena-based rogue-like shooter. This fast-paced and aggressive game will get under your skin and make you swear! With addictive gameplay and simple controls, this is hard to put down and easy to learn. Yet, it'll take plenty of practice and effort to master this deep and fulfilling indie title.

Nova Lands is an adorable base builder with a hint of RPG action. Can you open every island and automate your base? Explore every piece of land and rub shoulders with some friendly aliens. I adored it, but clumsy controls and limited replay value hold it back.

SENSEs Midnight is a horror adventure title that didn't reach its potential. Unfortunately, the move from 2D to 3D wasn't great and the camera angles are challenging to master. Furthermore, I wasn't impressed by the controls. However, I liked the puzzles and though the ghosts follow a repetitive routine; I enjoyed being chased. Accordingly, it wasn't a bad effort, but I was left wanting.

There’s a solid game somewhere underneath all the unnecessary additions so if the art style appeals to you and you’re the kind of person who can sink hours into a pet project then maybe Everdream is for you, for me? I’ll go back to watching the timer for Final Fantasy XVI tick down. So long.

LASERPITIUM is a fast-paced side-scrolling shooter with a modern finish. This solo or cooperative title will keep you busy. Furthermore, there are 10 stages to overcome and a leaderboard to top. As such, this is addictive, hard to put down, and wonderfully competitive. Yet, a lack of weaponry was disappointing.

An exceedingly charming tower defence and action-adventure fusion with a nice artstyle and strong writing. Full of good ideas with a strong central mechanic. However, a cluster of frustrations arise from it, with the key problem being the lack of a plan B once the tower defence portion fails.

Under the Warehouse is a strange and surreal puzzle adventure title. With grim visuals and weird characters, this is an odd but enjoyable experience. Sadly, though I liked it, its core concept was familiar and nothing wowed me. Consequently, there are better games available.

Panic Porcupine is a tough and cruel precision platform title. With brutal traps and plenty of collectables, this is a hardcore experience. Collect the eggs and save the Chickabirbs as you try to defeat Dr Proventriculus.

Greyhill Incident - Abducted Edition is a homage to the best 90s sci-fi adventures. However, a lack of guidance and poor combat elements let it down. Luckily, though, the excellent audio and scary environment work perfectly with the horror moments.

Terminal Velocity: Boosted Edition is an old-school title with a modern finish. Thanks to its simple approach and low-poly graphics, this is a wonderful trip down memory lane. Sadly, though, its limited appeal will only impress a niche audience.

Truck Driver - Heading North DLC is an excellent addition to the base game. With new tasks and a large map to explore, this brilliantly enhances the simulation experience. Unfortunately, the frustrating UI haunts the DLC. Yet, this won't taint an otherwise enjoyable sim title.

This game is shockingly cheap given what you’re getting. To me, this is the same as the bargain you get with Cuphead or Hollow Knight. Especially considering that this game was rolled out day one on PS Plus Extra (Sony’s comparatively anemic answer to game pass). There is no reason that any fan of puzzle games should skip this. I’ll go door to door if I have to.

All of this leads to Saga of Sins being a very short game. I’d say if the repetitive gameplay loop doesn’t get you down then finishing Saga of Sins within a few hours is completely possible. Which honestly is a shame as the concept here has more potential than has been realised. An exorcism game in which you battle the Seven Deadly Sins screams Persona at me, and yet as an avid Persona fan, I never felt any of the deadliness, rather just apathy although I suppose Sloth would be more appropriate here.

This is definitely a game that has a lot of potential and I would love to see more from these developers but I really hope they do better with the next entry in the series. The switch port of the game ran fine with no performance issues in both handheld and docked mode. While the visuals were a little blurry in the handheld mode, playing docked made things look a little sharper but did not solve the issue of the game being too dark. While this could have been solved by turning the brightness on my monitor up, things ended up being washed out and muddy. The scares found here rely on loud sounds and sudden pop ins which is bound to get some players but may leave others wanting for something more.

Flashy, Saturday Morning TV Show vibes pair well with a simple and enjoyable gameplay loop. It does become repetitive though, due a lack of variation between runs. Still, it's cracking fun to play and got its hooks in me right from the get-go. Be warned though, the title theme is a devestating ear worm.

Farworld Pioneers is an amazing survival simulation title. What's more, fans of Rimworld and Terraria will love it. With masses of content, and some brilliant end game experiences, this is addictive and hard to put down. Unfortunately, though, the controls weren't great and there are bugs and glitches. However, I'm sure these will be rectified in the future.

Tin Hearts is a fantastic and charming puzzle adventure title. Learn new skills, manipulate your surroundings, and get those toy soldiers to the exit. With a heart-warming story and 50+ levels, this is a wonderful indie game.

Mia and the Dragon Princess is an excellent FMV title. Despite its minor issues, I loved this captivating and often witty endeavour. Its short playtime mitigates tedium and the colourful characters and fun acting will make you chuckle throughout. If you love the genre, then you must give this a go!

Stranded: Alien Dawn is a fantastic survival simulation title. This deep and rewarding experience will impress fans of the genre. Furthermore, if you love Rimworld, you'll adore this brutal time sink. However, a tough learning curve and long tutorial may put some gamers off.

War Mongrels is a RTS with a gritty story. Moreover, it has an interesting viewpoint and some grim and hard-hitting cinematic. However, the clunky controls and bugs undermine its potential.

Amanda the Adventurer is a delightfully creepy homage to an era of childhood innocence tinged with nostalgia. Its unique blend of children’s cartoon aesthetics, intricate puzzles, and interactive horror makes it a memorable experience that will surely haunt you long after the credits roll. Despite its brief length, it’s a nice experience that is worth embarking on, especially for fans of psychological horror or puzzles.

I can’t really recommend buying this. My only hope is that the largely middling reviews for this game don’t discourage other developers from making original Lego games when there’s so much potential there. How else am I to get my King Baldwin IV vs. Salah-al-Din Jerusalem siege Lego game?

Teslagrad 2 is an excellent Metroidvania title with a physics-based twist. Moreover, there are some interesting puzzles and an interesting world to explore. However, it isn't long enough and this will disappoint some people.

All in all, Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord is a solid TRPG with some peaks and troughs to its gameplay. I do feel as though those who have played the original title will get more out of this, so if Fairy Fencer sounds like your bag, I’d probably investigate the remaster; Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force before trying out Refrain Chord.

REPLIKATOR is a tough top-down shooter. What's more, it has rogue-like elements and a roster of harsh and cruel monsters. However, it is this tough gameplay that makes it rewarding and moreish. Yet, the brutality will put off many casual gamers.

A chaotic explosion of broken glass and laser beams. Slayers X's guns feel great to use and it has a chaotic 90/00s feel to it. A few of the genre's persistent issues are stuck to its shoe but, on the whole, it's good fun to play.

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.
