    Aphelion tells a gripping story of humanity's last chance for survival on a distant frozen planet through the eyes of 2 astronauts. The adventuring segments aren't as enjoyable as the story but if you're a fan of DON'T NOD games, you won't want to miss this one.

    I had so much fun with Go! Go! Mister Chickums that I highly recommend it, especially to anyone who loves throwing eggs at snails and stuff.

    Kiln is bursting with smashtastic gameplay and so much charm that I want a Celadon poster just so I can remember how cool it is to be silly.

    Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth is an adorable and nostalgic tale of how unforgiving deep winter can be but how with friends, you can make the most of it until spring comes around.

    If you're looking for a simple multiplayer game that anyone can easily enjoy then you'll love the super-charming Fruit Mountain Party.

    ROGOLF is fun but with its basic gameplay and sometimes frustrating win conditions, it's a couple strokes away from qualifying for the Masters.

    There's so much packed into Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege and as you progress, you'll be impressed with how much variety there is to enjoy.

    Spica Adventure does some nifty things with its gameplay but it still feels quite middling, especially in Taito's epic library of great classics.

    3D platformers don't get much more relaxing or stylish than Gecko Gods and for that, it really stands out as something quite special.

    SAROS takes what made Returnal such a epically awesome action game and turns the dial way up while simultaneously offering such a distinct and immersive game world that it'll haunt your dreams even long after the end credits roll.

    I had a lovely time with Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream and its quirky look at human existence made me realise just how silly we all are.

    Dosa Divas combines exploration, cooking, and turn-based battles into one colourful and entertaining tale that will make you ask for seconds.

    PRAGMATA is a visceral and rewarding action game set within an intriguing world that will make you want to keep coming back for more.

    There are so many mechanics in Beyond Words that it can be overwhelming but once you start to earn gold trophies, it sure feels awesome.

    Super Meat Boy 3D modernises the 2D classic in such a fleshed-out and meaty way that it's really quite scrumptious what they cooked up.

    GRIME II is a strange-looking game and as you play it, you'll find yourself immersed knee-deep in its alien world filled with unique challenges.

    I had a wonderful time with Temtem: Swarm and it's easily one of my favourite Survivors-likes so far; definitely play it, chums! It's so cute.

    Shop & Stuff: Supermarket Simulator is an absolutely hilarious VR game that I highly recommend to anyone who wants to laugh out loud as they haphazardly manage their shop while a bunch of oddball customers make a complete mess of it.

    I had a blast with ChainStaff in all of its disgustingly gruesome action-packed glory; it's indie 2D action at its most ridiculous and I love it.

    People of Note is an incredibly stylish indie with the bones of a PS1-era RPG and it does a phenomenal job of pulling you into its imaginative music-filled game world as you gradually get the band together and proceed to make beautiful music in the heat of combat.

    Sigma Star Saga DX is a spot-on iteration of one of the most unique and enjoyable classics in the Game Boy Advance library that modernises a lot of its dated aspects to make it more enjoyable while its gorgeous sprite animations have held up exceptionally well on their own.

    Darwin's Paradox! is a beautiful and variety-filled 2D platformer that expertly blends platforming, puzzles, and stealth so if you don't mind a little trial and error then be sure to give this delightful octopus a chance.

    Life is Strange: Reunion is an enjoyable and fitting end to the Max and Chloe saga so if you've played the previous games in the franchise, you'll definitely want to pick this one up, too.

    Although its combat is basic and floaty, Royal Revolt Survivors is a solid game with its cast of unique characters and fun multiplayer aspect.

    Forging your weapon in Grind Survivors is such a cool process that it'll have you blasting through runs just to see what you can make next.

    I had a lot of fun with Minishoot' Adventures, especially considering just how much your little ship will grow into a force to be reckoned with.

    It has a highly unconventional premise yet everything in DAMON and BABY works so well together and it's super-charming to boot.

    Although the games in RAIDEN FIGHTERS REMIX COLLECTION are excellent timeless classic shoot 'em ups, the emulation and extras really bring down the whole package a lot so I can only recommend playing this if you have no other means to enjoy this trilogy.

    I'm blown away by how well Kena: Bridge of Spirits - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition holds up, especially considering it released almost 5 years ago and I had just as much fun playing through it now than I did back then. Slight visual downgrade aside, this is a near-perfect port.
