    Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate offers a ton of beat 'em up fun, especially if you're playing with chums. At the same time, there's no denying how repetitive it gets but the grind can certainly be entertaining, especially with such lovely sights and sounds.

    Rusty Rabbit is a cute and entertaining Metroidvania that offers such a unique and fresh experience that I found it hard to put down. However, if you're looking for more challenge and excitement then its laidback formula may not be for you.

    LUNAR Remastered Collection is a fantabulous package of 2 of the best lighthearted retro RPGs ever made. With impeccable localisation that's filled with hilarity, bubbly characters, and unforgettable moments; I highly recommend this compilation to all of my fellow merry chums.

    I had a lovely time revisiting SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered as it's one of the most memorable RPGs from when I was a cub. At the same time, I forgot just how frustrating of a game it can be so please keep that in mind before giving it a go.

    Blue Prince is a unique puzzle game that presents a perfect mix of luck and strategy that'll make you keep coming back for just one more run.

    Spirit Valor is an RPG that's sure to satisfy if you're looking for a characterful story and a clever magic system. Outside of these elements, things start to feel a little hollow, though, such as the barebones sense of exploration.

    From its clever gameplay to its hilarious cast of characters and great sense of challenge, how could you not love Arcade Archives SENKYU?

    Few games showcase the simple action-oriented SNES-era weekend game rental as well as Rendering Ranger: R2 [Rewind] does so play it.

    Assault Suit Leynos 2 Saturn Tribute is packed full of retro mech action and as you play, it's a thrill to unleash all your cool new weapons.

    With oodles of secrets, adorable visuals, and tons of extra museum content, this release of Croc Legend of the Gobbos is the bee's knees.

    There may not be much to it but Cats and Seek: Dino Park is a delightful little game regardless and it's sure to put a smile on your face.

    I love what Slime Heroes represents but I have to acknowledge its shortcomings which are unfortunately plentiful. It's very cute, though!

    Playing 8 mini-game variations by yourself is slim pickings for sure but Care Bears: Unlock the Magic still manages to be pretty enjoyable.

    When you mix puzzle and strategy this well and throw in loads of humour and colourful fun, you get Cats on Duty and it's great stuff.

    If you ever wanted to play as an adorable delivery bunny then Ringo's Roundup will keep a smile on your face as you master its many stages.

    If it wasn't for its poor performance on Switch, On Your Tail would be a must-have detective game in all of its anthropomorphic glory.

    Whether you're in it for the story or just the shoot 'em up action via the super-fun arcade mode then you'll certainly dig Kamikaze Lassplanes.

    There are good times to be had in Beyond the Ice Palace 2 but those moments will be among much frustration and clunkiness.

    Shadow of the orient is a solid retro-inspired experience that feels like a Super NES game but one that you'll soon forget about.

    With its boring initial stages out of the way, Breakout Beyond really amps up the fun factor with its clever use of power-ups and gimmicks.

    If you value exploration in your Soulslikes more than any other aspect then you'll absolutely love the intricate and rewarding stage designs in AI LIMIT. However, if you want brutal and visceral combat then you should look elsewhere.

    Wanderstop is a lesson in stopping to smell the roses and how important it is to look inwards when faced with life's difficulties. Its mixture of lighthearted humour and tranquil themes will leave any player feeling more relaxed after each gaming session.

    The First Berserker: Khazan definitely feels old-school in its approach but its vast assortment of super-tough bosses and oodles of extras that are great fun to master make it stand out as an excellent Soulslike. Plus, you can wear goofy jars on your head.

    Although it has a basic concept, there's so much content and fun to be had in ONE BTN BOSSES that you'll spend hours improving your skills.

    As one of the cleverest cacti-based indies out there, I highly recommend Be Brave, Barb to anyone who loves overcoming tricky challenges.

    You don't often see indies as ambitious as Metal Bringer in all of the freedom that it offers players to really wreak mayhem on the battlefield.

    There's some fun to be had with S. Prysm Destroyer but its reliance on trying the same levels again and again makes it feel tedious fast.

    If you're looking for a unique arcade-style experience, you can't do much better than 3D Don't Die Mr. Robot, especially if you love fruit salad.

    My main gripe is that Monster Hunter Wilds plays too similarly to previous entries but there's still a lot to love including its thrilling hunts against creative monsters, weapon and build diversity, and, of course, the chance to pet Poogie.
