    I'm definitely looking forward to whatever they make next which will hopefully be a bit more polished and much less derivative.

    Super Mario Party Jamboree is definitely one of the best games in the entire franchise and my personal favourite one so far. If you're looking to have a party with local friends or online friends-to-be, be sure not to ignore your invite to this shindig.

    I had an excellent time with Ys X: Nordics and it's outstanding that after all these years, Adol's adventures are still taking him to such refreshingly different worlds that are home to distinctly memorable characters. It makes me wonder: where will he end up next?

    Besides a few minor frustrations, TRANSFORMERS: Galactic Trials presents a superb blend of racing, platforming, and shooting that really packs a punch when it all comes together. Whether you're testing your skills or taking on a chum, you'll have a great time.

    Even though I enjoyed its online multiplayer much more than its story mode, there's no denying that DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO is a great fighting game. It's also one that the more you play it, the more you'll enjoy it because of its steep yet rewarding learning curve.

    If Max Mustard was a non-VR platformer, it would be excellent but add in virtual reality and you're left with an unforgettable experience.

    I absolutely love Pearls of Atlantis: The Cove with its delightful setting and highly enjoyable physics-based puzzle gameplay. Superb.

    If you love classic Dreamcast games then you'll have a blast with Parcel Corps and its colourful yet oddly sinister setting.

    I wish that The Plucky Squire was a smoother and more challenging experience because it certainly has a clever premise and game world.

    I had a blast with KILL KNIGHT and plan on playing it much more as I climb the leaderboards higher and higher; what a great shooter.

    Metaphor: ReFantazio is a more mature take on RPGs that delivers something quite different while maintaining enjoyable and somewhat familiar gameplay. Plus, mastering archetypes, exploring dungeons, and fighting for the crown is handled with perfect pacing.

    REYNATIS features some of the best combat that I've enjoyed in an action RPG. Unfortunately, outside of fighting and a few interesting moments, there really isn't much to hold your attention for long so it's best to rush towards your next thrilling encounter.

    A hilarious co-op action game that everyone who enjoys the genre should play whether you prefer playing with local chums or online chums-to-be. Just be sure to plug your nose with all the bug guts around.

    Between Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports and Space Jam: A New Legacy - The Game, Bugs Bunny and friends sure haven't been treated well in recent years when it comes to video games. Here's hoping we get a remake of Time Busters; that was a fun game.

    Touhou Genso Wanderer -FORESIGHT- may not be as fully featured as its predecessors but its more focused gameplay and characterful storyline that's full of laughs and charm make it one satisfying and entertaining dungeon-crawling adventure.

    Although it's a mostly great experience, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is a clear step below the S-tier Zelda games like Twilight Princess, Tears of the Kingdom, and so forth. There's still plenty of fun to be had if you're a fan of the classic Zelda games and perhaps this return to that formula is the shake-up that the series needed following Tears of the Kingdom.

    Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed remains a strange game but one that's compelling and rewarding. It's excellent that this Wii classic is this enjoyable all of these years after its initial release and it looks great this time around to boot.

    The striking aesthetic of Loddlenaut's 3D world pulled me in and its gameplay kept me immersed in its impressively deep waters. Superb!

    Although the variety of hazards and layouts mix things up well, playing Marble Abduction! Patti Hattu can feel tedious after a while.

    Although it isn't as flashy as its inspirations, Peglin provides an enjoyable roguelike formula that makes fighting monsters entertaining.

    I had fun with I Got Isekai'd into a Shmup and it supports up to 4 players which is great but there are better shoot 'em ups out there.

    The amount of love and care that went into developing BZZZT really shows thanks to its awesome world and fine-tuned stage designs.

    There are better arcade-style games out there but Cash Cow DX remains an entertaining platformer that'll definitely test your skills.

    Who knew a modern sequel to an obscure NES classic could be this much fun? Well, Gimmick! 2 definitely is and I highly recommend it.

    I'm impressed with what Matchbox Driving Adventures has to offer as it's an entertaining racing game for folks of all ages while containing plenty of challenges and an ever-exciting sense of variety. Plus, its multiplayer can be a real hoot.

    Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is the sort of game that becomes better the more you play it so if this is your first time playing it or you haven't played it for years, bring plenty of patience with you and you'll end up having a phenomenal trip to the mall.

    I had a solid time with Elsie and would love to see a sequel that irons out its more confusing aspects and pacing issues. As it is, its gameplay and pixel-perfect graphics are certainly the stars of the show so check it out if you dig 2D action games.

    Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines is an adorable sequel that really turns the fun dial up to 11. If you thought Pablo's solo adventure was great then you'll absolutely love his world-hopping journey with the oddly grumpy Luna by his side.

    I wish that Arcade Paradise VR tightened up the campaign a lot more because its slow burn simply doesn't work as well in VR.

    Considering that currently, less than half of players beat level 1, you know that Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn is one brutal game.
