This is a very different game, something that I wouldn’t find copied or made by another. As it’s all hand-drawn and the storyline is not very large or similar to any other game as well. The worlds you visit are very interesting and each has these individual sounds that play like music notes, as you bounce and float into different objects. It’s quite interesting and fun to achieve when roaming and exploring the levels for your friends. Lastly, the game to me felt quite easy, relaxing, and just plain fun! It might not be super long or take much use of the brain, but it is something that will keep you calm and entertained as you rescue your friends.

If you’re a fan of JRPGs then you will really enjoy Live a Live. Full of comedy, action, and adventure across multiple time periods Live a Live is overall a solid game. Sure, some cutscenes drag out. Some of that RPG grind is tedious but it’s still a must-play entry into the genre.

It is important to remember that Best Month Ever is a student project. Therefore it shouldn’t be put in the same bag as a product of an experienced studio. Either way, I feel many of the game’s faults came from inadequate writing. It wants to say a lot but by the end it doesn’t much at all. If all the logical and realistic inconsistencies can be ignored. The game’s overall story isn’t that bad. Even thought they have failed to explore most of the themes, there are still some heartwarming moments.

Witch Strandings is a game that really wanted to emphasize the importance of connections as well as nurturing the relationships between characters, but the control scheme made it hard for me to really get into it. While there were story details to be found around the world, it felt like there wasn’t enough guidance to help a player get the ball rolling. I understand that exploration should be the driving force but something like this could really use a guiding hand for the first few minutes outside of the tutorial to help bring the player along.

The game XEL is quite unique and original but brings that classic 3D RPG action-packed game genre to the Nintendo Switch. It’s a very easy-to-play game that doesn’t require many control buttons to use or a long time to acknowledge what you must do next. Everything is easily explained and the major portion of the game is to explore the world while finding hidden objects and upgrades to help you along the way.

With the addictiveness of a beat ’em up, great visuals and fun RPG upgrades, Lost Epic is a 2D action game that reaches the hallowed and revered heights that many an action game would wish to reach, with a core mechanic so pure and refined that you can’t help but admire it.

If you like SRPGs then yes. This is a solid entry from Nippon Ichi Software and has been a popular entry into the genre since its PS2 days. The control system can take some getting used to as there are a lot of menus to navigate, and the voice acting is a little over the top. There isn’t much really to complain about though, it’s a solid experience and there’s a lot of fun to be had trying to reclaim your power and Netherworld!

Dreadout 2 is a horror adventure title with some open-world elements. Its limited budget impacts its grand ideas and this was frustrating. With such potential, it could have been great. However, its many flaws will leave you wanting.

Fobia - St. Dinfna Hotel is a creepy horror title that occasionally lacks direction. Furthermore, it moves away from combat and relies more on quests, puzzles, and exploration. On top of this, it has an excellent story and a protagonist that you can empathise with. I loved its nod to Resident Evil and its many unique elements.

I honestly had high hopes for this game, before actually playing. Did it meet my expectations or did it let me down? Well, I can say it is so much easier to play for a child or an adult who wants a build their own school that isn’t tedious with so much to learn and too many buttons to recall. There is plenty of things you can add to make this school as interesting and fun as you like! Just think of it as child style Sims game, made easy with a more cartoony style graphic design.

Subsequently, it is a massive game that is full of surprises and secrets. Therefore, you'll lose yourself in a wonderful computerised rendition of Steve Jackson's epic world.

FF7R is a fantastic reimaging of the iconic title. Refusing to classify itself as a nostalgia act, it expands upon the original narrative in new and exciting ways. The combat system has a seamless fluidity to it, allowing for engaging and entertaining gameplay sequences. Artistically, FF7R retains the level of quality players have come to expect from Square Enix, but it does falter ever so slightly in some environments. The updated rendition of the classic OST is outstanding from start to finish, with the sound design team matching it in every regard.

Book Quest is an old-school adventure RPG. It looks like Zelda but sadly, this is where the similarities end. There are plenty of minor issues that undermine the action, but with a few small fixes, this will be a great retro title.

I love these types of games, simulation games that also can be considered to play like a sandbox game too! It’s got career mode to get you understanding and also learning how to play.

If you love fighting games, even ones that are slightly adventurous with a continuous fighting path that doesn’t just stop at one enemy. Well, this game Samurai Riot is a great game that will just have you battling nonstop!

TombStar has all the foundations of a quintessential rougelite experience. It just doesn’t do anything particularly special. While the gameplay is entertaining, it quickly becomes stale and repetitive, offering very little in the way replayability. It is certainly visually appealing, but the art style lacks any real charm or personality to it. And although the OST is serviceable in the confines of the game, the SFX sound abysmally weak and unimpactful.

Severed Steel is a brutally fast and unforgiving FPS. You must use your special powers to slow down time, kill your enemies, and be victorious. Though many of the stages are short, there are plenty of reasons to return. With smooth and unusual gameplay, this is a bizarre but moreish title to tackle.

Adventures of Chris is a fun and challenging platform title. Its crazy characters and childish plot will amuse you throughout. Furthermore, the challenging gameplay and interesting level design will hold your attention from beginning to end.
