    Real Farm is just another farm simulator with some interesting field monitoring mechanics, but it doesn’t differ much from the core formula and other games in the genre.

    If you like Metroidvania games, this one is a must play.

    Bravium is a hero defense RPG with strong emphasis on resource management and grinding, but surprisingly without microtransactions. Although the game is distributed via Steam, UI is made for mobile devices and lacks flexibility on PC. Best element of this game is that anyone can play it while doing something else and have fun.

    Remnants of Naezith is a great game for speedrunners, and also for people who like being angry over a game. All jokes aside, this is a great fast-paced platformer with some great and refreshing elements and nice electro beats. You won’t be sorry.

    Still Not Dead is a perfect game if you want to relive the days from the original DOOM era. A really challenging game with brilliant system of curses and blessings, and being chased by Death is a unique experience, if you don’t count real life, of course.

    Really simple yet crazy game with all sorts of funny and amusing mechanics. But its physics can stand in the way of good fun, and cause you to rage. Pewdiepie collaborated in making of this game so expect plenty of memes, and the best part is that community is making amazing new levels to play daily

    This is a punishing and often not a fair title, but it still offers enough to invite all the challenge seekers out there. Not the greatest of the genre, but still quite enjoyable - if you can take all its ruthless punishments.

    No hints-guessing has never been this fun! Though it's still not all that fun. But it is charming and makes you giggle a bit, so that counts as well! If you have an hour to spare, enter the haunted mansion... if you dare.

    Interesting combination of gameplay mechanics and advanced level editor are good, but lack of servers really hurts multiplayer aspect of the game.

    Clumsily narrated yet strongly delivered tale, told through the eyes of a seeking fox and set in a gorgeous dream-world, The First Tree is an hour long video game you will not forget for some time after beating it.

    Energy Cycle Edge has a simple yet complex concept that will test your wits to the fullest. That is, if you find it interesting at all. It has no setting and no explanations, which equals to next to no reason to play it.

    This grinding-cooking game truly is a recipe to make you smile. It's simple and full of grinding but warm and positive at the same time. It will truly make you feel good and pass the time like a pro. But don't let it pass too much, life is short you know!

    Paratopic is a lo-fi horror game that represents golden PS1 era with its style, graphics and ability to complete it in one sitting.

    Nice idea, but really poor execution. Overall bad production, gameplay that quickly become boring and DOA multiplayer.

    Hide and Seek acts as a prequel to Hello Neighbor, game that got quite popular amongst streamers because of its horror elements, which are absent this time. You play a game of hide and seek between brother and sister, and main goal is to collect objects required for further progression and not get caught. It's a fun game but nothing really new.

    Fear the Wolves brings many great ideas on the Battle Royale table, but executes them quite poorly. PvPvE and radioactive zones are a good addition but don't work quite well with low number of players.

    The best thing about this game is its beauty, from the first to the last second of it you simply get to enjoy watching art deco stained glass puzzles with their vibrant colors. It is a gaming equivalent to a day under a blanket with a hot chocolate cup in your hands sifting through book pages on a rainy day.

    Coffence introduces some genuine interesting ideas to the genre but fails to deliver on them, presenting players with flawed and really shortlived package to play with.

    Not a Beat Saber with blasters in any way, but still a really simplistic yet enjoyable, rollercoaster-like experience not for the faint of heart. If you are in any way into fast and challenging shooters, do not miss this simple and exciting ride. It can really get you hooked.

    Back to parodic RPG basics, fun for all us nerds. Play it on Switch or mobile, not really for PS4 though.

    Hell Warders brings a twist to tower defense genre where you can jump in with your unique character and directly fight of the hordes of hell. This game is much more enjoyable when played with friends in co-op, but sadly there are no dedicated servers.

    Mango Cart is an unfinished product that is an insult to the game-making industry and presents laziness and cash grab in its full glory.

    The unique and beautiful art style of the previous games in the series is raised to the next level in Lorelai. Unfortunately, games fail to capture the same psychologically dark and disturbing atmosphere of the first 2 games, but it's still a great game!

    A gorgeous puzzle solving game with occasional battles. A rare gem in which both kids and grownups can fully immerse themselves with completely different views on the story.

    Easy and fun party game. Nothing spectacular but it does not miss the point of fun gaming.

    A unique combination of falling block mechanics and platformer elements that will keep you occupied for quite some time.

    Great combat mechanics and immersive story, but sometimes frustrating levels can get really annoying when you can beat them.

    This standalone expansion is not worth the asking price, but if you played Martyr and liked it, Prophesy will be a great addition to your 40k library during a Steam sale.

    Vault-Tec won’t save you now! Grab your loved ones, or not, and as many supplies as you can and pray to the gods of RNG that you will live to see the post-apocalyptic future!
