    Piczle Colors expands on the classic Picross formula in clever ways to create its own concoction of highly enjoyable picture-based puzzles.

    Color Jumper is the sort of indie that feels both familiar and fresh with solid platforming gameplay and brilliant puzzle elements.

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

    Its premise is incredibly promising yet Kandagawa Jet Girls does nothing but disappoint with its monotonously slow racing that feels like it's aimed towards small children but should kids really play a game with excessive thong shots and bouncing boobs? Probably not.

    If you already own Remnant: From the Ashes then getting this DLC is a must because the adventure within truly feels like its own distinct experience. Overall, this is one impressive chunk of content.

    Its mobile roots definitely show but The Alto Collection offers some enjoyable albeit simplistic gameplay with eye-popping visuals.

    The shooting action in Zero Strain is frantic, fun, and challenging and its campaign setup will keep you hooked until you master it.

    It may be a cute and fun game featuring great music but Neko Navy - Daydream Edition doesn't quite break out of the genre mold.

    Bite the Bullet is a solid action game but not everyone will enjoy watching their character eat and barf their way through the journey.

    If The Ambassador: Fractured Timelines featured more gameplay variety besides its basic gimmick then it would've been much more fun.

    Even with its clever premise, Peaky Blinders: Mastermind's campaign doesn't feel all that consequential yet it remains somewhat enjoyable.

    Darkestville Castle is a standard point and click adventure that genre fans who are thirsty for more may enjoy but it's nothing special.

    The humour in Helheim Hassle is spot-on for a laugh-out-loud adventure and it provides many impressively rewarding puzzles as well.

    Even though Liege Dragon isn't the best old-school RPG to be released in recent years, it still has its charms. The simplicity of it all can actually be kind of refreshing but it also makes tedium sink in much sooner than you'd hope.

    Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions may seem like a niche title but it's sure to appeal to anyone who enjoys arcade sports games, especially ones with a steep degree of difficulty. Its flashy, challenging, and intense matches truly hit a home run. Oops, wrong sport.

    Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time definitely doesn't offer anything particularly groundbreaking but it does feature satisfying old-school hack and slash fun that's hard not to enjoy. Throw in some RPG elements and you're left with a solid albeit lackluster experience.

    Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition is the sort of game that you play to wind down with after a long day. It's not very demanding or challenging yet the adventures within remain memorable, charming, and ultimately rewarding.

    Tell Me Why tells an engaging story of twins unraveling a mystery and forming a bond after being separated for most of their childhood. It's a more mature narrative set in a cozy Alaskan backdrop that could draw the attention of gamers who are interested in story-driven experiences yet may have been put off by all of the teen drama featured in previous Dontnod titles.

    Carrion is a game that I would love to play through in one night with a group of friends as long as I'm not the one playing it. While it's not the best Metroidvania to navigate, it's a joy to watch. If you love horror, especially old monster movies, this is worth checking out for the atmosphere alone as it makes for a rather spook-tacular night.

    It really is amazing how well Railway Empire works as a real-time railroad-building sim for console. So, if its concept appeals to you and you don't yet own it, picking up this Complete Collection with its oodles of DLC is a must.

    Giraffe and Annika certainly isn't the kind of game that you'll enjoy for its gameplay. Instead, its main appeal is found in its adorable and whimsical world that's filled with lovely sights and sounds that are sure to put a smile on your face throughout the adventure.

    Mortal Shell may offer a solid experience but as I played it, I couldn't help but want to dive into the Souls series again as the amount of variety and excitement in FromSoftware's games makes this feel like a hollow shell in comparison.

    Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is a hard game not to love. Even the most cynical and jaded gamers would have to jump through a lot of rotating hoops to call this fun-filled extravaganza anything less than a revolution in online gaming.

    If you're a fellow fan of the original Death end re;Quest then playing Death end re;Quest 2 is a must. Although it doesn't feel like a huge step up for the series, there's definitely a lot of fun to be had in its delightfully twisted world.

    Pistol Whip is a top-notch VR game and one that's 100% worth getting for fans of rail shooters. Its stylish visuals and clever scoring system make it an immersive and challenging experience that's hard to put down once you get into the groove.

    Ultra Foodmess is a fantastic multiplayer game for kids who are looking for intuitive and accessible yet ultimately frantic gameplay.

    It's not the most fleshed out multiplayer indie but Gerrrms still provides some good times through its intuitive and enjoyable setup.

    I didn't enjoy the intentionally clumsy gameplay of Brunch Club and neither did my gaming chums yet it surely has a promising premise.

    It's a capable multiplayer funfest yet Aeolis Tournament's core gameplay could use more variety to help keep it fresh and exciting.

    I wish Dunk Lords featured streamlined gameplay because there's certainly a fun formula here but it's buried under complex mechanics.
