Project Tower stands out in some places, namely with its gorgeous level design and bullet-hell boss fights, but leaves something to be desired with its core mechanic, which feels underutilized and unnecessarily restrictive. The game is worth checking out if you’re interested, but the short experience may feel a bit railroaded.

While I’ll leave the NFT aspect for consumers to judge, I will say that Fusionist is engaging and worth trying if you’re interested in a free-to-play game. However, the restrictions in the Early Access playtest might make it better to wait until the full launch before giving it a shot. [Early Access Review]

Even in its current Early Access state, Voin already offers plenty to enjoy. While I felt I mastered the combat and crafted a strong build within the first two hours, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The developer’s roadmap promises to expand on the already enjoyable experience, adding much more before the game’s full release. That being said, potential buyers should keep in mind that Voin currently lacks content and contains bugs typical of any early-access title. [Early Access Review]

The Thing: Remastered captures the essence of a timeless horror game and gives it a fresh coat of paint alongside some quality-of-life improvements for a modern audience.

Deathless. Tales of Old Rus. delivers a great deck-building roguelike experience, thanks to its mastery and twists on the genre’s mechanics, its fantastic art and characters, and the unique way it brings its Slavic mythology setting to life.

Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island delivers a unique and heartwarming adventure with its creative take on Greek mythology and engaging relationship-building mechanics. Despite some minor performance issues, it remains a delightful, cozy experience.

The Spirit of the Samurai is the most incredible Metroidvania title I have ever played, featuring amazing stop-motion animation, fantastic storytelling with horror elements, and fun combat—all coming together to create a game you’ll easily love as much as I do.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1-2 Remastered delivers a graphically remastered version of two legendary games, perfectly preserved for fans to enjoy. While the experience is a true remaster, dedicatedly faithful to the original, it left this reviewer hungry for a Soul Reaver remake.

Though it could use a bit more polish, Stars in the Trash is a beautifully crafted game showcasing a love for old-school animation and pets. It’s an easy choice for fans of both.

Despite these flaws, Among Ashes shines where it matters most. Its shortcomings don’t detract significantly from the overall experience. I highly recommend it to horror enthusiasts, though you might want to avoid playing it alone in the dark.

Marvel Rivals has hooked me back into the hero shooter genre with its huge roster of characters, exciting gameplay, and excellent sense of style.

With its explosive high momentum level design, creative visual design, and a dash of irreverent humor, ANTONBLAST is an exciting platformer that will keep you coming back for more destruction and mayhem.

Neon Blood stands out for its art, featuring incredible environments, great pixel art, and incredible hand-drawn cutscenes. However, the rest of the gameplay and narrative features a disappointing lack of depth, preventing the game from reaching its full potential.

Enigma of Fear is an excellent little horror puzzle game. With cute characters, fantastic art, and thoughtfully challenging puzzles, it should easily become a favorite of genre fans and newcomers alike.

Planet Miners could have been unique and fun. By ignoring the RPG and building mechanics of Starbound, it could have doubled down on mining. Instead, it feels like a tech demo—a shallow game that, frankly, I don’t recommend. I’d like to see it pulled from Steam and given more development time.

30 Birds is a beautiful and surreal experience—a thoughtfully created puzzle game with a unique setting and incredible visuals. This hidden gem should be your next purchase if you enjoy point-and-click adventures, puzzles, or art.

New Arc Line offers a fresh RPG experience, blending high magic and steampunk. While still in Early Access, its unique setting, expansive landscapes, and innovative d100 system show promise, especially for RPG fans seeking personalized experiences. However, localization issues and stiff animations detract from the immersion, making the game feel unfinished. Despite these drawbacks, New Arc Line has the potential to become a standout. [Early Access Review]

My only real issue is with the underwhelming flight mechanics. Despite being set in space, movement is surprisingly slow, and maneuverability doesn’t reflect the freedom of zero gravity. While you can move in all six directions, the controls aren’t as fluid or immersive as in other space combat games. I understand this might be due to technical limitations, but it’s a major flaw that took me out of the experience, especially considering how much I enjoyed everything else.

Despite these quirks, I’m confident Towers of Aghasba will improve during Early Access. The game’s creative vision, rich world-building, and innovative mechanics have the potential to make it extraordinary. With continued refinement, I believe it will deliver an unforgettable experience. Whether building, restoring the land, or exploring, Towers of Aghasba offers a rich, engaging experience that is well worth your attention. [Early Access Review]

Despite these shortcomings, Menace from the Deep remains enjoyable for fans of the genre (I’m tentatively calling it “Spire-like”). It’s still fun for those seeking a roguelike with a twist. With some mechanical tweaks, it could become a standout, but currently, it feels like an unrealized opportunity.

With its fresh concept, thoughtfully designed puzzles, and excellent use of suspenseful horror, Is This Game Trying to Kill Me? creates an escape-room-style game worth escaping into.

With its beautiful pixel art, great humor, and outstanding voice acting, Loco Motive is a captivating blend of next-gen and yesteryear, taking everything we love about classic point-and-click adventures and giving it a fresh, modern spin.

Sorry We’re Closed is a remarkable fusion of punk aesthetics, survival horror mechanics, and deeply authentic character-driven storytelling. Its unapologetic blend of style and substance, from its diverse cast to its unique visual flair, makes it a standout in a genre often dominated by darker, more serious tones.

In Sink is a clever co-op puzzle game that challenges two players with exciting and difficult, but not frustrating, puzzles. Its clever use of a language-free puzzle system allows anyone to enjoy the game, making it a fun way to meet new friends or connect with old ones.

Songs of Silence offers a game that is fun enough to play and impossible to put down, easily captivating players with its unique world, interesting concepts, and phenomenal art.

Planet Coaster 2 excels in amusement park management, presenting a superb combination of gameplay depth and accessibility. You’re sure to enjoy the ride in this brilliant coaster tycoon.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a fun co-op roguelike; however, it shows the limitations of a straight mobile port and could use some work, both on the depth of its content and its controls.

Mirthwood is an open-ended farming sim with a unique dark fantasy setting. While character interaction is limited and combat is underwhelming, you’ll find yourself spoiled with things to do, allowing you to live free in a hand-drawn and mysterious country.
