    I'm very happy that GUNDAM BREAKER 4 is as great as it is and hope to see many more games in the franchise make their way westward. The fact that it's accessible and fully-featured means that any mech enthusiast can easily enjoy what's here.

    Visions of Mana is a whimsical adventure that's filled with character and beautiful sights. I took great pleasure in traversing its colourful world and even though it doesn't do anything particularly revolutionary, it's sure to melt your heart as you play.

    BAKERU is one of the best 3D platformers that you can play on Nintendo Switch with its fantastical representation of Japan, tactile combat, cheerful atmosphere, and clever collectibles. Who knew that beating enemies with bachi sticks could be this much fun?

    WitchSpring R is a delightful turn-based RPG with oodles of heart and humour and an enjoyable battle system to boot. It stumbles in a few areas and lacks balance but this sweet treat will still be a delicious addition to any RPG fan's library.

    I sincerely enjoy what ONE PIECE ODYSSEY DELUXE EDITION offers and hope to see a sequel that adds a lot of challenge and variety because without those 2 ingredients, Luffy's RPG adventure feels like it's lacking booty.

    The gameplay of Tiny Pixels Vol. 1 - Ninpo Blast can be quite fun but its reliance on grinding and repetition make it fall a bit flat.

    Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery is simply more great object-finding fun. If you enjoyed Myths & Magic then pick this up as well.

    There are so many goofy objectives in each of Just Crow Things' levels that playing it makes for one rewarding poop-filled adventure.

    Playing Thank Goodness You're Here! made me laugh so many times throughout its oddball adventure that I easily recommend playing it.

    Mika and the Witch's Mountain is a fun escape into the life of a bubbly little girl who wants to become a witch but who makes new friends and has unexpected adventures along the way. It may be short but it's certainly worth playing if it's your kind of game.

    Creatures of Ava is a colourful and fun adventure game that offers a refreshing take on combat. Conservationism never felt so fun.

    I'm surprised by how much fun I had with Elrentaros Wanderings. Although it has limited gameplay, what's here is satisfying and its addictive blend of upgrading weapons with loot and completing challenges kept me coming back for more.

    If you're willing to practice and learn its ins and outs, CYGNI: All Guns Blazing becomes an absolutely thrilling shoot 'em up that will stay with you for a very long time. It may be divisive now but let me assure you, genre fans will eventually hold this gem in high regard.

    SteamWorld Heist II builds upon the original in many clever ways to create a sequel that's a ton of fun even 8 whopping years after the first game debuted. Be sure to play it but don't sail in my part of the seas or I may have to take your hat.

    There's certainly some fun to be had in EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 but don't expect it to offer much noteworthy when you compare it to the previous couple of entries in the series. Playing it did make me excited for WORLD BROTHERS 2, though.

    Me being sad at having finished The Star Named EOS is a good indicator of how I feel about it as a whole - I enjoyed it and wanted more. It knows what it wants to be: a cozy heartfelt little puzzle game and it succeeds in being exactly that.

    Deadlink is a first-person shooter that any gamer can enjoy with rewarding roguelike elements and satisfying action-packed gameplay.

    Nobody Wants to Die delivers an entertaining dystopian film noir story that explores immortality and transhumanism through the eyes of a burned out New York City detective in the year 2329. Its impressive world is enjoyable to explore and the story kept me interested enough to see it to its conclusion although it is very linear and the writing could definitely be improved.

    As the odd one in the bunch, Cyber Citizen Shockman Zero is impressively fun with its melee-focused combat even if it is a bit tedious.
