    My gaming chum and I had a blast with The Jackbox Survey Scramble and plan on playing it much more. Survey says? Great game.

    I mostly enjoyed my time with MiniGhost as it does a solid job of offering a simple and satisfying Metroidvania adventure.

    I'm truly happy that The Rocky Horror Show Video Game exists but as a game, it doesn't really do much to hold your attention.

    Although I didn't expect much, Care Bears: To The Rescue delivers one absolutely adorable co-op funfest that up to 4 chums can enjoy.

    If you enjoy 2D puzzle platformers with lots of variety and collectibles then you'll adore Hatch Tales: A Heroic Hookshot Adventure.

    Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a silly and surprisingly challenging RPG with a unique world traversal mechanic and a superb variety of puzzles. However, the unavoidable enemies and lengthy battles might put off folks who are looking for a more casual affair.

    Those who relish a challenge and love Sega Genesis shoot 'em ups will absolutely dig what the retro-inspired Super XYX has in store.

    With awesome gameplay and the best DualSense utilisation I've ever experienced, Rogue Flight is one excellent 3D arcade shooter.

    Who would ever guess that there would be a super-fun twin-stick spin-off of an iconic shoot 'em up in 2024? Well, it's here and Raiden NOVA is one of the best surprises of the year, especially if you're a fan looking for something new.

    I had a good time with CounterAttack: Uprising and am looking forward to seeing it evolve as the developers work more of its kinks out.

    SpongeBob SquarePants: The Patrick Star Game is the funniest game of the year with its hilarious open-ended gameplay that's sure to crack you up. Who knew that a sandbox game for kids could be this much fun?

    You don't often see hidden object games incorporate as many elements as Hidden in my Paradise does and it comes together beautifully.

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

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

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

    I love how Card-en-Ciel combines characters from Inti Creates' games into one strategic campaign that's impressively tough to put down.

    Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered offers a fresh coat of paint to a game that was already boasting beautiful graphics, bringing it on par with its sequel. If you've never played it before, it's a great excuse to get into the series and if you have already completed it then the low cost of the upgrade is a good excuse to relearn the lore and dig into a New Game+.

    Life is Strange: Double Exposure pulls you back into the world of Max Caulfield only this time, it has matured into a deeper storyline that provides more welcome gameplay than previous titles so if you're a fan of the series then you won't want to miss this one.

    Arsene Lupin: Once A Thief lets you play as both the thief and the detective while trying to thwart their crimes which is an interesting premise. However, the execution is lacking and it presents too many frustrating moments for me to recommend it.

    Killing Time: Resurrected is a curiosity from the past that makes for a great time capsule even if it isn't all that great of a game.

    With its unconventional premise, El Paso, Elsewhere is a blast as you shoot at all sorts of monstrous foes while popping pills like a pro.

    You wouldn't think a licensed package like RetroRealms would be as entertaining as it is so I'm very happy that it exists; top quality stuff.

    Out of all of the retro-style indie games that I've played, Fear the Spotlight is one of the most impressive and I hope to play a sequel.

    Back in 2015, Until Dawn would have made a bigger impact for its bold movie-like experience but now, it certainly falls a bit flat.

    If you play one game this Halloween, it should definitely be SILENT HILL 2 which remains in a class of its own even all these years later.

    The Smurfs - Dreams is one of the best co-op games that you can play with its variety of super-fun levels, adorable game world, and clever gadgets that elevate the gameplay to new heights. I can't wait for more Smurftastic entertainment like this.

    As with most SaGa games, Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven isn't for everyone but those who enjoy it will love it a lot. Spanning generations and a huge stand-out game world, it's one of the grandest RPGs ever made.

    I had a great time playing SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS with its modern adaptation of a genuine classic and its super-fun new campaign featuring Shadow the Hedgehog. This is such a bountiful package that any Sonic fan will absolutely love.

    I had a wonderful time with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed and its enjoyable co-op gameplay with memorable characters that all have top-notch voice actors. The pizza did come out of the oven a bit too early, though.
