    Arcade Archives: Renegade is like a time capsule full of tchotchkes; it's cool to open it up and take a look but there's very little substance that remains useful in this day and age.

    If you're a true shoot 'em up fan then playing 1917: The Alien Invasion DX will just make you mad. With a completely broken scoring system and a super-tedious campaign that plays like Simon Says, it's hard to imagine who would actually enjoy this.

    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.

    If you're looking for a casual puzzler that you can take on the go then Fill-a-Pix: Phil's Epic Adventure is worth checking out. Just make sure that you won't be disappointed by the casual easygoing experience before asking Phil to pour you a hot cup of tea.

    Wizard Fire is a promising classic isometric fantasy action RPG. However, its gameplay quickly falls apart due to repetition, frustration, and even a potential game-ending glitch.

    Gunbird 2 is a huge step up from the first game but it still doesn't do enough to stand out in such an oversaturated genre. That being said, what's here is a challenging classic shoot 'em up with intricate scoring mechanics that'll appeal to hardcore genre fans.

    As a big fan of BurgerTime, I'm happy that I finally had the chance to play Super Burger Time as it's an incredibly underrated arcade sequel. So, if you can't get enough burgers in your retro gaming diet then you'll definitely want to dine here.

    If you're looking for a simple SRPG that you can sink a ton of time into then Rainbow Skies is a must-buy game. On the other hand, those who want something more immediately gratifying should probably look elsewhere.

    Lumines is the most addictive puzzle game that I've ever played and this Remastered version is perfect for hardcore fans and newcomers alike. Here's hoping Enhance Games are working on a true sequel to this epic puzzler series.

    Lego The Incredibles is a smooth entry in the long-running Lego video game series. It doesn't do much to break out of the mold but there's no denying how ultimately solid and satisfying it is.

    Although The Lost Child is a far cry from El Shaddai, Sawaki Takeyasu clearly crafted something special here. If you're a fan of first-person dungeon crawlers then you surely won't be disappointed with this fulfilling monster-recruiting adventure.

    Agent 47 is still killing it and he now has more ways to look stylish with three exclusive Definitive Edition outfits. However, if you already own the Game of the Year version then there really isn't much new to see here.

    Haimrik has an immersive story but that's really all it has going for it as all you essentially do is solve simple puzzles and battle through minimalistic boss fights. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the story and I hope to see more similar storybook-style games in the future.

    Mario Tennis Aces retains the enjoyable core gameplay of the series while ushering in plenty of fresh and exciting mechanics. It could definitely use more content outside its cool Adventure mode but what's here is still a racket-smashing good time.

    Pode is a solid cooperative experience but its frustrating aspects unfortunately hold it back from being a great game. That being said, if you can't get enough cute co-op adventures then you certainly won't regret at least giving it a try.

    If you're a fan of super-tough 2D platformers and still haven't played Slime-san then purchasing this Superslime Edition should be a no-brainer. With oodles of addictive content that'll keep you busy for days, you'd be a goof not to download this sucker.

    It might sound like I'm being overly hard on Omega Strike but I did have a decent time with it. Its ideas and structure are solid yet it's ultimately let down by a lack of variety and a sense of monotony that you'll regularly experience from start to finish.

    Hollow Knight is a huge and rewarding adventure that's full of satisfying secrets and challenges. It's not a perfect Metroidvania experience but it's definitely up there with the best in the genre.

    If you don't own a Switch and enjoy Bomberman then Super Bomberman R Shiny Edition is certainly worth picking up. Even though it doesn't improve everything from the original release, there's so much content here that you're bound to have a blast.

    When it comes to impressive video game sequels, Unravel Two is up there with the best. Its awe-inspiring world and pitch-perfect gameplay make it one of the best 2D platformers ever created. I can't wait for Unravel Three.

    When it comes to number-based puzzlers, Hexologic is a must-have game for any fan of the genre. It may be short on content but the clever gameplay and polished presentation make it an enjoyable albeit brief experience.

    Everspace does so much right. It has an engaging story and immersive visuals that make you feel like you're in a Star Wars film and combat that always keeps you on the edge of your seat because even the weakest enemies can overwhelm you.

    Harvest Moon: Light of Hope brings the core Harvest Moon concepts to the table but it doesn't do anything more than that. The lack of item variety and multiple missing gameplay elements really shows. It's still addictive but not a worthy successor to the franchise.

    If you're looking for a wacky and colourful competitive puzzler that can be enjoyed by casual and hardcore gamers alike then Sushi Striker is a solid experience. Just don't expect it to be as fulfilling as consuming 100 plates of raw fish.

    If Milanoir were a Tarantino film, it would be Death Proof; a self-indulgent exercise in tedium that would make most people who experience it want their money back.

    If you're looking for a relaxing and cute experience where you can watch a world evolve in front of you then Happy Birthdays is definitely a game to add to your want list. Just make sure that you're ready to deal with its frustrating aspects before giving it a go.

    While Riddled Corpses EX's gameplay and upgrades are enjoyable, its lack of content and excessive amount of forced grinding simply to pad the game's longevity result in it being a mostly bland and repetitive affair.

    If you've been craving a crazy destruction-filled action-packed racer then Onrush is a must-buy. It's intense and features a variety of play styles all set in an attractive world that won't forgive you for blinking.

    PixelJunk Monsters 2 is a decent follow-up to the classic tower defense game. It may take a few steps back but there's no denying that its fresh visuals and addictive gameplay make it worth checking out for long-time fans and real-time strategy enthusiasts.

    Overall, Strange Journey Redux certainly doesn't disappoint as completing the sprawling and challenging dungeons while recruiting a variety of demons is a ton of fun. Even if you've played the original, there's plenty here to make you come back for more.
