If it featured more visceral and tight combat, Somber Echoes would be an excellent Metroidvania with its awesome game world to explore.

With its clever scenarios and sense of randomness, Ready or Not offers an exciting team-based tactical shooting formula that's great fun.

With unique and simple puzzle gameplay and a ton of stages to master, Nurilogy 1000 is a solid game to check out even if it gets repetitive.

Simply using bombs in a shoot 'em up is a novel and somewhat fun premise but Blast Rush LS doesn't do a heck of a lot with this formula.

It's awesome that TRIZEAL Remix is finally available for Nintendo Switch so pick it up and get DELTAZEAL and XIIZEAL while you're at it.

I love when games provide freedom while also ensuring that each step of progress is satisfying and Locomoto does just that in all its cuteness.

With its steep difficulty curve and imbalanced co-op, Flora & Fang is a bit rough despite having a solid foundation and great visuals.

If you're looking for a chill indie game to enjoy at your leisure then diving deep through Everdeep Aurora will certainly make you smile.

I had a lovely time with Exo-Calibre and its adorable game world that houses some truly unique and satisfying shoot 'em up gameplay.

Soulstone Survivors is one of my favourite games in this newly emerging genre so if you enjoy these kinds of games, absolutely check it out.

Not only does Spiritfall look sharp and stylish, its gameplay is, too, thanks to its oodles of clever skills, upgrades, and unique challenges.

It may be very different but Wizard of Legend 2's lovely 3D visuals and slick action-packed co-op gameplay will definitely cast a spell on you.

Missile Command Delta definitely isn't what I expected it would be but that's great because it really launched a missile straight to my heart.

Irem Collection Volume 3 is definitely the most difficult compilation in the series so far which will delight hardcore retro gaming enthusiasts. Plus, Mystic Riders is the highlight as it's a wonderful shoot 'em up, especially with its lovely co-op gameplay.

Fast Fusion offers a lot of fast-paced fun and is a great showcase for the power of Nintendo Switch 2 with its selection of stunning courses.

The original is one of my favourite SRPGs of all time and FRONT MISSION 3: Remake does a decent job of modernising the gameplay. However, its downgraded visual assets often make its aesthetics feel cheap.

With its energetically vibrant world that'll keep you smiling and clever puzzle-filled platforming, Ruffy And The Riverside has everything you'd need for an excellent 3D funfest. Plus, it's so cute that it's now one of my life goals to have a Ruffy stuffie.

Fruitbus deserves great praise for its adorable graphics, heartfelt story, and relaxing yet entertaining gameplay. However, it should have baked in the oven a little longer while working out its oodles of glitches that frequently take away from the lighthearted fun.

There's a lot of content in Klaus Lee - Thunderballs and its gameplay is solid and varied for sure so check it out if you want a challenge.

With so much variety to unlock and action-packed combat that'll have you dodging and shooting like a pro, Section 13 is one great shooter.

How 2 Escape: Lost Submarine has a very specific audience and if you're part of it, you'll be amazed with its variety of ingenious puzzles.

Once you get past the learning phase, The Wizard of Bug doesn't do much to hold your attention but it's certainly a smart puzzler at its core.

As the latest console release of my favourite tower defense series, Kingdom Rush Vengeance excels at providing strategic action and hilarity.

I can't believe that a retro-inspired RPG with such a heavy emphasis on fishing could be this fun but Nice Day for Fishing is great stuff indeed.

From its clever premise to its tactical battles and its pitch-perfect visuals to its oodles of side content, I loved every minute of Novel Rogue.

Survival Kids may just be my new go-to co-op game thanks to its multiplayer-focused elements that really come together beautifully whenever you're playing with a friend. With lovely sights, charming characters, a silly narrator, and spot-on sound effects, it's a treat to watch, too.

I didn't think we'd ever see Gex again but Gex Trilogy proves that this irreverent and charming series is definitely enjoyable and unique enough for today's gaming audiences. With that being said, the humour and visuals surely haven't held up as well as a gecko clinging to the ceiling.

I had a superb time with Battle Train and can't believe how much it fits my tastes from its roguelike structure to its deep strategic gameplay and its silly premise to its wealth of unlockables. I may just have a new favourite roguelike as it chugged along straight to my heart.
