    If you enjoy arcade rail shooters and want to play an especially challenging one in virtual reality then I can't recommend Drone Striker highly enough. Blasting away its evil robot aliens is so much fun that it'll make your headset spin.

    Unusual Findings is a master class in old-school adventure games and even gives Return to Monkey Island a run for its money.

    Pokemon Legends: Arceus definitely provides a great experience with a novel take on the classic franchise but I still feel that grinding is not needed in a Pokemon game which I've always felt should primarily be about simply having fun in a laidback world.

    Joe and Mac Returns will clonk you over the head and win you over with its charming visuals, highly enjoyable gameplay, and cheeky sense of humour. It's a shame that more gamers aren't aware of this delightful arcade sequel.

    SpellForce III Reforced is a very ambitious RPG that I'm sure you'll enjoy if you're a fan of classic CRPGs like Baldur's Gate. However, learning how to manage an economy in this RTS game has a fairly steep learning curve. Then again, maybe you want this because you're an experienced RTS player and you've never played Baldur's Gate; I won't judge.

    There's an old-school feel to Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky that'll make series fans nostalgic as they go on the memorable adventure within. Where it lacks in innovation, it definitely makes up for in heart.
