    As a rarity in the genre, WiZmans World Re;Try is a pick-up-and-play RPG that'll have you experimenting as you happily forge ahead.

    I enjoyed playing The Prisoning: Fletcher's Quest and had some laughs but its basic gameplay and small scope certainly make it feel limited.

    Lovish is a very special indie game that really stands out with its unique campaign and top-notch random humour. How could you not love it?

    Mastering each carefully-designed room within the eerie campaign of LOVE ETERNAL will keep you on edge and it's one very rewarding game.

    REANIMAL's more 3-dimensional approach to its horror puzzle-adventure gameplay really supercharges the scares and sense of exploration.

    Tales of Berseria was a great entry in the series back when it originally released and it still is today. This is an excellent RPG to pick up if you're looking for a thoroughly entertaining story although the enhancements aren't anything to write home about.

    Considering it takes a long time to start getting really good, God of War Sons of Sparta can test your patience but if you stick to it, you'll find one rewarding Metroidvania with oodles of content, gorgeous areas, and a solid variety of enemies and puzzles.

    Under The Island is an adorable, challenging, and silly action adventure game that's packed with variety and secrets to uncover. Great stuff.

    First and foremost, Calamity Angels: Special Delivery is a comedy game and it delivers (sorry) on that foundation exceptionally well as it'll constantly make you laugh out loud if you don't take it too seriously. Even though it gets repetitive, you'll still make plenty of memories.

    Ys X: Proud Nordics is the same great game with extra content that adds a lot of value and rewarding challenges for those who master its memorable seafaring campaign. It may have released a bit too soon but what's here is excellent stuff regardless.

    ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard is a first-person puzzle game that combines so many enjoyable mechanics in such clever ways that it presents a constantly rewarding campaign where you'll always look forward to what's to come.

    High On Life 2 presents such a constant barrage of ridiculous humour and memorable gameplay scenarios that it can be a great deal of fun. At the same time, its core gameplay is quite simple and not everyone will appreciate its world's cynical albeit colourful lens.

    BlazBlue Entropy Effect X is one of the best roguelikes thanks to its action-packed combat, strategic upgrades, huge variety of characters, superb animation, and constant sense of reward. If you love 2D action games then you'll have a wonderful time with this impressive package.

    Mario Tennis Fever is absolutely the best game in the series so far and if you enjoy the back-and-forth of the sport as you take in all of the wonderfully charming sights and sounds then this is a must-play game that really shines in multiplayer.

    Relooted's clever blend of gameplay elements as you plan, solve puzzles, and then execute via exciting parkour segments completely blew me away and it certainly stands tall as one of the most unique and rewarding indie games that you'll ever play.

    SUPER BOMBERMAN COLLECTION is bursting with explosive old-school fun that has held up outstandingly well over the decades. Whether you're playing it solo or with a couchful of chums, you'll be in for one superbly entertaining time.

    Dark Auction is a visual novel with gameplay elements that reward observant players while the plot and cast come together in an intriguing way to deliver story twists that you'll never see coming.

    MY HERO ACADEMIA: All's Justice is a flashy and entertaining fighter that folks of all skill levels can easily enjoy thanks to its intuitive and accessible control options. Plus, it looks excellent to boot and is full of superbly memorable characters.

    Nioh 3 is a superbly enjoyable culmination of action RPG fun and its open environments are bursting with so much rewarding content that it's hard to put it down whenever you start playing. It may be a big change of pace but I'm incredibly happy with everything it offers.

    The graphical upgrade and streamlined gameplay of DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined provide a breath of fresh air that do a great job of making this classic RPG appeal to both new and familiar audiences.

    I had fun with the basic gameplay and quirky premise of Rightfully, Beary Arms but it definitely doesn't live up to its genre contemporaries.

    I had a great deal of fun while being immersed in the striking world within MIO: Memories in Orbit as it is one captivating Metroidvania.

    I appreciate Brave x Junction's Blackjack battles but the overall fun factor wears thin after traversing only a few of its repetitive dungeons.

    There are so many puzzle and strategy elements in Drop Duchy - Complete Edition yet it ties them all together into one super-fun formula.

    Candylands Journey is a fitting follow-up to the delightful Farlands Journey and I downright adore both of these super-fun retro-inspired indies.

    Escape from Ever After establishes its lighthearted fairy tale world wonderfully with its endearing visuals, characters, and music and it plays superbly to boot thanks to its impressively strategic party setup and battle mechanics. What an absolute delight.

    Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a supremely fun one-on-many fighting experience with familiar grand scale battles combining with freshly challenging elements that can really put your skills and reflexes to the test and it works wonderfully on Nintendo Switch 2.

    Super Farming Boy is one of my new favourite indie games with its adorable visuals and super-rewarding gameplay where strategically placing crops will make you feel like a farming legend who may just be capable enough to save their mom and friends.
