    As a real-time strategy game, Anthill provides a simplistic and enjoyable formula that can be quite a hoot in short bursts.

    I had some fun with BIOMORPH but it definitely doesn't live up to the dozen or so must-play indie Metroidvanias already out there.

    Although it isn't much different to your standard twin-stick platform shooter, Collapsed certainly offers some enjoyable roguelike action.

    Nippon Marathon is a ridiculous bakage game that's a ton of fun with friends but its annoying gameplay is only tolerable in short bursts.

    Descenders is one of those rare games that procedural generation makes it less fun. I wish it was a fine-tuned experience instead.

    In the end, if you're looking for a modern take on classic games like Monkey Island, Sam & Max, or Broken Sword then Detective Gallo will certainly do the trick but it definitely doesn't bring many new and exciting elements to the table.

    If Straimium Immortaly had clearer visuals, it would be a solid 2D dungeon shooter. As it is, it's a bit too frustrating to fully enjoy.

    Override: Mech City Brawl presents a fun premise yet unfortunately; it doesn't offer any sort of substantial long-lasting gameplay.

    Fighting games have come a long way since 1999 and this portable fighter is fun but King of Fighters R-2 can't help but feel dated.

    When you think of a twin-stick shooter, you probably picture something exactly like Space Pioneer. It's solid yet typical of the genre.

    If you want to play a simple and enjoyable competitive multiplayer version of Threes! then 2048 Battles is certainly worth checking out.

    For better or worse, Samurai Shodown! 2 is exactly what you'd expect from a portable adaptation of the arcade fighting game.

    Slowly working your way through Torn's mansion setting while gradually uncovering the strange plot makes for an immersive experience. However, its lack of challenge means that it's a lot less satisfying than it could have been.

    Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is an ambitious take on XCOM but it simply doesn't do enough with the established formula to make a worthwhile campaign. That being said, it definitely has some amazing visuals and cool stealth mechanics.

    If Warplanes: WW2 Dogfight offered more original and enjoyable core gameplay, it would be a highly recommendable game. That being said, it does feature solid combat and its simulation component is an undeniably interesting complexity.

    It may not have long-lasting appeal but Timberman VS certainly provides plenty of frantic multiplayer fun for the time that it lasts.

    Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy is a fun and interesting take on roguelikes and survival games with a colossal amount of things to do and I know that a lot of people thoroughly enjoy it. However, there are just too many problems for me to overlook, especially the overbearing load times on PS4.

    qomp2 is so maddeningly difficult that its main campaign feels like it should be some sort of extra-hard bonus mode. It's still fun, though.

    One Line Coloring is the kind of puzzler that's nifty at first but it becomes quite formulaic once its gameplay starts to click.

    Although it looks and sounds great, Klondike Solitaire is still very basic and it lacks touchscreen support which is just silly.

    Whenever you want to play a laidback yet undeniably challenging puzzler, Flood of Light will certainly do the trick.

    Whipseey and the Lost Atlas may be a cute and somewhat fun 2D platformer but it's a bit too unforgiving as well as incredibly short.
    • 63 Metascore

    Save Koch is definitely a unique indie game to keep an eye on with its intense procedurally generated mystery-based campaign.

    It may be a simple game but working through Love's tricky stages is pretty fun. I just wish there were more of them to master.

    If you're satisfied with a basic Mega Man style 2D retro throwback then you can definitely have some fun with Venture Kid.

    Ghoulboy is a solid 2D platformer but it simply doesn't take enough risks to make it a must-have game for fans of the genre.

    Telefrag VR features fast-paced gun-based combat but its content is rather limited, especially because it's for only up to 2 players.

    If you're already a drone racing fan then DCL - The Game may scratch an itch but other than that, it's difficult to widely recommend.

    Playing Day of the Shell is super-exciting at first but after an hour or so, you'll start to realise that it's quite shallow despite its cleverness.

    Although it contains plenty of content to master, Swapperoo's simple gameplay doesn't deviate much from the match 3 formula.
