    The anime scenes could have easily been unlocked chapter-by-chapter as you progress through the main mode, but making the broken ‘demo’ mandatory before the actual game starts is such a waste of time that unless a cheat code or a patch comes out to separate them, this premature release is simply not worth the effort.

    Gunslingers and Zombies is such a simple game to enjoy. It’s filled with a few weapons, plenty of planning, and a bunch of zombies to demolish. The game does require a little planning to survive each level and move forward. The challenging part occurs as you move on and go through different waves or goals needed to be done. However, it is still a very easy game to pick up and play, perfect for beginner strategy gamers. So if you are up to saving the town and love strategy games, then get ready to shoot down and stab every last zombie in the west.

    You Suck at Parking is a crazy arcade racer that'll push you to your limits. Navigate windy roads, avoid obstacles, and park perfectly as you attempt to complete every stage.

    Honestly, it’s hard to say that this one game is horrible because in total it was just so much classic FUN! Games back then use to be slower and the colors or way they move are very obvious in each game. Sometimes the sayings, as phrases are a little much and at that time the game was pretty much exciting. So modern games to classic will be hard to find it that entertaining and enjoyable as many would like them to be. However, they are collections of the past, not much changed, and really a blast from the past when playing.

    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]

    Nine Noir Lives is a fantastic contemporary take on the Point and Click genre. It masterfully blends comedy with intrigue, which culminate together in a captivating and suspenseful story. The characters are equally as entertaining, and are expertly performed by a talented array of voice actors. Artistically, the hand painted backdrops are absolutely stunning, and composer Travis Ford DeCastro does an immaculate job of complementing them through his music. For fans old and new to the genre, you owe it to yourself to play this game.

    At the end of the day, Zookeeper is not a bad game. It just falls a bit short on keeping the player’s interest for extended periods of time. Zookeeper has potential for sure. It’s cute, relaxing and there is some fun to be found. However, as it stands, things feel a bit too middle of the road to justify any hype.

    A Tale of Paper: Refolded is an excellent platform adventure title with puzzling elements. You will love the excellent graphics and atmospheric audio. Furthermore, the drip-fed mechanics and excellent stage design will keep you entertained. However, it is painfully short and this undermines every element.

    Railbound is a testing but fun puzzle title. With a charming theme and excellent settings, you'll fall for its charms. Push your brain to its limits as you try to solve every top-down problem.

    Dyna Bomb 2 is a great solo or cooperative platform adventure title. With plenty to see and do, it'll keep you busy for hours. Its heavy reliance of grinding will disappoint some, but I enjoyed the overall challenge and replay value.

    Not only do you get one fun action-packed game, but you get a second game, the classic puzzling game too! Oh and don’t let the bright graphics fool you, this game isn’t super easy to defeat or super difficult, but it’s just what you want when you play a platformer, a bit of a challenge. So if you think you have what it takes to save Pac-Man’s family then you should really give this game a try!

    White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is a wonderful classic horror title that will scare you silly. With horrifying ghost encounters, challenging puzzles, and a demented janitor, you'll be tested and petrified. What's more, it has multiple endings to keep you coming back for more.

    I’m not going to lie and say that Video Game Fables is ground-breaking, or worthy of game of the year. But what I will say that it is an entertaining, light-hearted, and satirical take on JRPGs. It’s turn based gameplay is complex, and offers a numerous amount of customisation options. The art style, while certainly an acquired taste, fits the surrounding narrative exquisitely. Musically, it’s a bit of a mixed bag, but composer Levc EGM certainly shows some promise as an up-and-coming artist. If you’re a fan of RPGs, and can mange to pick this up on sale, then I’d recommend giving it a shot.

    Yars: Recharged is a fantastic arcade title that oozes nostalgia. Can you complete every mission and destroy the enemy hive? Chew, shoot, and blast your way to victory. Enjoy this solo or with a friend as you aim for the top score.

    While Dusk Diver 2 might fall short of greatness due to the battle system and dungeon design missing a few features, there is still magic here – with its relaxing atmosphere, personality in spades and still addictive action – making this a good choice for those who wish to indulge in a harmless and enjoyable action RPG without the need to schedule an entire month to complete it.

    Rick Henderson is a classic retro title. This side-scrolling shoot-'em up only ends when you are blown out of the sky. Consequently, it is addictive, challenging, and oozes nostalgia.

    The game Tinykin brings players a joyful and fun adventure, where one must solve and discover ways to find your way through each spacious location. There are so many things to see and solve for friends that are just as small as Milo the character you’ll be playing as. It’s a bright and joyful game, without monsters attacking, but with plenty of puzzle-solving planning to get you from one location to the next. It’s a very fun game that will keep you entertained for hours and provides plenty to do in each new location you visit.

    Hell Pie is a vile and crude 3D platformer that will make you laugh. With many well-trodden mechanics and interesting levels to explore, this will keep you busy. If you love your collectables, then this is the game for you!

    This game really was not my cup of tea. I felt that it failed on almost everything it set out to accomplish. While some parts are objectively bad, the game does have some good ideas. I hope next time, this team can try to execute their ideas better and give us a more satisfying to play twin stick shooter.

    AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative was a wild ride and honestly, one of the most thought-provoking games I’ve played for a long time. While I wanted to love this series, it fell short of my expectations. I don’t think it’s something that everyone would enjoy, but even so, I still recommend it. AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative is not something you can easily put down, and it makes you want to uncover the truth until the very end. But be warned, “Truth is only an Illusion.”

    Mad Streets is a crazy physics-based arena brawler. With an array of levels to tackle, massive fighters to take down, and ridiculous tasks to overcome, it'll keep you busy. Furthermore, it is great fun with friends and this makes the lack of an online community a real disappointment.

    All in all, Fashion Police Squad is a fairly humorous parody of internet and video game culture, wrapped up in an entertaining boomer shooter package. It confidently showcases smart game design knowledge with its sharp controls and engaging gameplay, but falters slightly in its lacklustre level layouts. Visually, the game is absolutely gorgeous, and the OST is chock full of upbeat and dance worthy tracks. In spite of its short runtime, the story is an amusing affair, though your enjoyment of it may vary depending on your comedic tastes. If you’re a fan of either 90s retro FPS titles, or games that don’t take themselves too seriously, then this would be one worth picking up on sale.

    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.

    City Eye could be a phenomenal simulation title. With interesting mechanics and promising gameplay, it could evolve to be something special. However, at the moment, a lack of content holds it back. If new crimes were added, and additional services implemented, it would be much better.

    Rollerdrome is visually wonderful. Comic book-styled cel-shaded art paired with punchy vibrant colours. Everything from the character art to the environments and enemies on the course is superb. You can’t help but feel slightly uneasy, however. While everything is bright and fun the underlying story is one that is intrinsically dark and dystopian in nature. Sadly, you never get enough of the story (it’s just not that kind of game) and I would love it if this world could be fleshed out in some way.

    Unfortunately Sword and Fairy is not a case of ‘What you see is what you get’, as although the music and presentation is top notch, the game is unable to maintain its high level of quality across the board, so even though the story does intrigue, it dabbles in a bit too much mediocrity to truly recommend this to everyone, despite its eye-popping strengths.

    Destroy all Humans! 2 - Reprobed is an amusing smutty title. You must control Crypto and seek revenge against the KGB. En route, you encounter some weird and eclectic people. Befriend some of them, but leave behind the people that hold you back.

    Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? is a niche-market game. Yet, it can be phenomenal with the right group of friends. I loved the range of questions, the competitive edge, and the custom avatars. Yet, I know it won’t be for everyone, but I liked it nevertheless.

    Spider-Man Remastered is another superb PC port from the PlayStation catalogue. Its combat and traversal systems flawlessly capture the feeling of playing as Spider-Man, but it does become somewhat repetitive quicker than you’d expect. Graphically, the game looks absolutely stunning, especially when utilising the RTX options. And while the audio design is remarkably well crafted, the games soundtrack does suffer from being unmemorable. Overall though, Spider-Man Remastered is massively entertaining. If you’re a fan of the Webhead, the MCU, or the Arkham games series, then this is a title worthy of checking out.

    Kid Ball Adventure is a straightforward retro platformer with a simple approach. Bounce across 100 stages, avoid the obstacles, and defeat the dragon. However, this is easier said than done, as precision is necessary and luck is a must.
