Roundguard feels very mobile-like, but it’s a fantastic take on the Peggle formula. It can be quite limited if you want to spend many hours on it, but it’s perfect for quick games.- Vandal

My Hero One’s Justice 2 feels like an expansion rather than a sequel. There is more content, but that’s about it. It can be a good choice if you like the anime, but it isn’t very deep if you want a fighting game.- Vandal

This is a decent metroidvania, quite limited by its indie budget, that targets “ecchi” fans. Unless you’re looking for this specific theme, there are many other better metroidvanias out there.- Vandal

This is a solid strategy game, and even if it doesn’t match the greatness of the titles it’s based on and loses a bit of depth, it offers a lot of fun and a much friendlier learning curve.- Vandal

Overpass is different, and we like that. Yes, it’s hard and challenging, but it’s not like other racing games –you’re not supposed to be able to win the first time you race. It’s a shame that technically is very flawed and can get repetitive, but its core is solid.- Vandal

Genesis feels like a Darksiders, just with a different camera, and it brings back the cooperative mode that didn’t make it to the original game.
