    Sumerian Six
    I absolutely love the thoughtful pacing of Sumerian Six. Weighing up every movement and action, knowing that one wrong step could mean the end of your life and the level, is thrilling.

    Manairons
    3Cat are absolutely a studio to watch. They clearly have abundant talent in their artists, audio developers and level designers. But Manairons is unwieldy, and it doesn’t end up being the showcase that the developers deserve. It’s merely a decent platformer, when so much of Manairons feels drafted from an excellent one.

    Aery - The King's Messenger
    EpiXR Games deserve smaller, but still notable laurels. Aery - The King’s Messenger soars past the craters where other Aery games have crashed. It’s about as flawless as an Aery can be.

    A Clareira
    I just couldn’t bring myself to play A Clareira for long stretches. It swings, pendulum-like, between too-easy and impossible.

    Heart of the Forest
    There are pacing issues at times, and the inherent lack of traditional gameplay might be a problem for some. However, if you plan on going down to the woods today, Heart of the Forest is an adventure well worth taking.

    Cubic Figures
    If you enjoy a puzzler as you look to take a break from the massive AAA games out there with their 70-hour playthroughs, then I think you will enjoy Cubic Figures.

    One Button Games 5-in-1 vol. 5
    One Button Games 5-in-1 vol. 5 is a fascinating exploration of what you can achieve with one button. The result sounds gimmicky, and in a few cases it is. But when it comes off, the result truly scratches the score-attack and achievement hunting itch.

    MindsEye
    MindsEye is no longer the broken mess it was when it launched in June of 2025. The developers have clearly worked hard to iron out the bugs and elevate the game to a higher standard. I enjoyed the campaign and much of the core gameplay, even if it felt more like a game from yesteryear rather than a cutting-edge release of today.

    FRONT MISSION 3: Remake
    FRONT MISSION 3: Remake is a bit of a mixed bag. There are good bits, like the story and gameplay which are lifted straight from the original. But then there are those elements that don’t work anywhere near as well - like the weird halfway house graphical update, dodgy FMV and weird upscaled portraits of the characters.

    Tales of Berseria Remastered
    Tales of Berseria Remastered isn’t perfect, and visual pop-in is very noticeable, but look beyond this and you’ll find an engaging RPG that deserves your time.

    Dynasty Warriors: Origins - Visions of Four Heroes
    DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS Visions of Four Heroes is an easy recommendation for fans of the franchise.

    John Carpenter's Toxic Commando
    You’ll have a fantastic time playing through the story missions found in John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, no doubt tempted to increase difficulty levels as you go forward. If you can fully embrace the vibe of a cheesy, over-the-top action movie, then you are going to have a brilliant time here.

    Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE
    FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE improves on a cult classic in so many ways. Although one poorly thought out decision holds it back, this remains one of the best examples of its genre.

    Crabwave
    We’re far from crabby having played Crabwave. The path-making template works, and there’s at least an attempt to fiddle with the format in terms of five paths and some cool rotating hexes. There are usability hiccups, but overall Crabwave is thirty-minutes of puzzling sunshine.

    Sleeping Beauty: Hidden Object Game
    If you just want to find needles in haystacks, then Sleeping Beauty: Hidden Object Game smiles winsomely and lets you do exactly that.

    New Yankee: Through the History Mirror
    I’d love to say that New Yankee: Through the History Mirror is best-in-class for the resource-management genre, but the bugs say no. Its mirror is cracked.

    Alex the Rabbit
    Alex the Rabbit wasn’t a big hit in our house. While we appreciated the Mario-like presentation, it was sorely lacking some important elements. It didn’t offer any challenge for three out of its four worlds, and it didn’t offer any innovation to replace it.

    1 CatLine
    Too often, we’d be cuddling up to its fresh take on puzzle-platforming, only for it to unsheath its claws and dig into our thigh. 1 Catline is a fun idea that seems reluctant to embrace that fun.

    Mole Cart Mining
    Mole Cart Mining is a solid puzzle game that is near-identical to previous games by the publisher. What’s different are the minecart layouts, and those layouts are rather clever. Is it enough to part you with your cash? Only you can make that decision. Check in your minecart to see if you have disposable gold to spend.

    Mirage 7
    The storytelling is musty, the combat mustier, and it’s more illogical than logical in its puzzles. If that doesn’t put you off, and you’re on the market for this time-capsule of an adventure, then there’s some Tomb Raider-like treasures to be found.

    The Stairwell
    The Stairwell is one of my favourite games in the looping genre. There is something about the vertical, Escher-esque design that really got its hooks into me.

    Sovereign Syndicate
    Ultimately, Sovereign Syndicate is a very good narrative experience, filled with three great characters navigating an interesting and varied steampunk London. It is a slight shame their stories don’t overlap a bit earlier, but it is a pleasure spending time with them regardless.

    GreedFall: The Dying World
    There are certainly things to love about GreedFall: The Dying World, but after many hours in its world, I left feeling a little deflated.

    Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection
    Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection feels just like a turn-based Monster Hunter game. For the first time in the Stories series, they’ve nailed the feeling of every fight feeling like a boss battle.

    Slide Viking
    The devs have truly cared about Slide Viking, and there’s almost no chance that you will dislike your time with it.

    Planet of Lana II
    Plant of Lana II is the success we suspected it would be. A brilliantly told tale combines with stunning visuals, cracking gameplay mechanics, intriguing puzzles and a soundtrack to die for. But it lacks wow moments and any sense of difficulty.

    Pogui
    Pogui isn’t interesting. It’s easy to sneer at it, wondering what it’s bringing to the 2D platform conversation. But those people would be ignoring how fun it is.

    One Button Games 5-in-1 vol. 4
    One Button Games 5-in-1 vol. 4 continues the upward trajectory of the One Button collections. I don’t think it swings-and-hits as much as One Button Games 5-in-1 vol. 3, but it’s superior to the first two, slightly shonkier collections.

    Speedball
    There is no doubt that this newly rebooted Speedball is a respectful take that manages to capture the feel of the original, without ever trying to reinvent it. The league structure adds longevity, arena variety keeps things fresh, and the management elements provide just enough depth. If only the online multiplayer was well populated…

    Dice A Million
    Is Dice a Million here to usurp Balatro? Not a chance - rolling dice lacks strategy, and the various unlocks are too chaotic to truly master. But there’s still a lovely alchemy in Dice a Million which means that the chaos brings fun. When a collection of dice works, it really, really works, and the ludicrous combos and resulting multipliers give you a satisfying pat on the back.
