    It may be a mostly standard shmup but 1993 Shenandoah definitely offers some unique components that help make it stand out.

    Overall, SNK Gals' Fighters is a fun retro portable fighting game that's a bit too basic to thoroughly enjoy in this day and age.

    When it comes to co-op puzzle platformers, REZ PLZ offers some fun mixed in with oodles of frustration so bring plenty of patience.

    Although it features a very cool premise, Ritual: Crown of Horns is held back by its generally basic and tired gameplay.

    Moving a knight around grid-based stages as if you're a ninja chess piece is unique so Chess Knights: Shinobi can be a pretty fun game.

    Overall, gamers looking for a simple yet challenging stage-based puzzler will surely experience a lot of enjoyment in SpellKeeper.

    At the end of the day, if you're not playing Endless Ocean Luminous to look at and learn about oceanic creatures then you won't enjoy it as there is little else to it. While not necessarily a bad game, it becomes less and less fun the more you play it and I wouldn't exactly call that the hallmark of a good game either.

    If it weren't for its reliance on trial and error, Golf Peaks would be a top-notch puzzle game but it's still definitely worth checking out.

    As one of the simplest games that I've ever played, Ping Redux is surprisingly enjoyable; that is, when it's not being too finicky.

    Totes the Goat is a simple clone of Q*bert but one that has its own charms and more importantly, is much less frustrating.

    Yuso is an adorable puzzle game that anyone can play with ease. However, its reliance on trial and error and lack of replay value hold it back from being a must-have noodle-scratcher.

    I had a solid time with Soul Stalker even if its gameplay and structure aren't particularly fresh. Plus, it's very cute.

    Dark Burial's clever use of its multi-purpose crossbow will have you carefully traversing its grueling world which is quite a fun thing to do.

    Nephenthesys is the sort of game that you'll play whenever you want a quick and flashy shoot 'em up fix that isn't too taxing.

    Darksiders III fans will find The Crucible to be a great way to show off their skills. That being said, it's still just a combat arena.

    Area 86 provides some fun sandbox escape room gameplay yet it doesn't quite offer a rewarding campaign with its open-ended nature.

    As a delightful game to wind down with, Caravan SandWitch presents a stylish and chill world but it's certainly lacking gameplay-wise.

    #Funtime is a solid twin-stick shooter with plenty of modes and some cool mechanics but its awful camera can be downright maddening.

    Europa's lovely sights pop on Switch with gorgeous environments and animation but its barebones gameplay becomes rather tedious.

    If it didn't have such poor performance issues, I'd easily say that owning DORONKO WANKO is a must due to its downright hilarious gameplay.

    Its clunky platforming can sure be frustrating but A Tale of Paper still provides a memorable and captivating adventure.

    Ultimately, Maneater is a passable distraction. It features a decent bit of fun with a surprisingly heartfelt plot but that's about it. With long gaps between major releases in this part of the year, Maneater will provide some entertainment for those looking to fill the void.

    Gonner2 is definitely a fitting sequel but it doesn't quite feel like a substantial step up from the original and its action is far too chaotic.

    Although it often feels like luck dictates your success, Exit the Gungeon still boasts tight gameplay and a quirky fun-filled aesthetic.

    I laughed a lot while playing Tamagotchi Plaza and wish more games were this funny and silly but I also can't deny that it's also quite limited.

    If you're a fan of endless runners then you'll probably enjoy Double Pug Switch but don't expect it to redefine the genre.

    The engaging atmosphere and detective aspect of Call of Cthulhu are phenomenal yet it manages to devolve into an irritating mess.

    Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story is an adorable cozy game with a long list of quests to complete with no pressure whatsoever. I just wish it had a better orientation system so I could spend less time retracing my steps and trying to manually keep track of quests.
