Frontier Hunter: Erza's Wheel of Fortune is a great surprise in the Metroidvania realm with rewarding gameplay that's full of variety.

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.

I'm very happy that folks are releasing collections of classic shoot 'em ups and Over Horizon X Steel Empire is one delicious treat.

Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III is a must-play for any fan of arcade-style retro games, especially those who love co-op.

Playing RPM - Road Punk Mayhem can be frustrating but it's also a very unique shoot 'em up that you may want to check out.

I had a blast with the arcade fun in Satryn DX and will surely boot it up whenever I want to try and beat my previous high score.

As one of my new favourite indies of the year, Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure is a joy to play with its unconventional puzzles.

Metroidvanias with clever movement skills are some of my favourite in the genre and Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus is certainly top-tier.

I had a blast with Retro Revengers and wish more platformers featured a wide variety of characters with matching clever stage designs.

Ancient Phantasma is one of the most authentic retro RPGs that I've played in recent years and it's quite a satisfying adventure with its distinct combat that features many cohesive elements. I definitely recommend it to any fan of old-school RPGs.

With a ton of superior Soulslikes out there, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn simply feels unnecessary. It's the sort of game that seems like it was made to be Game Pass filler but even then, there are dozens upon dozens of better games available for the service.

I'm blown away that Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess seemingly came out of nowhere and it's as awesome of a game as it is. From its exciting strategic combat to its gorgeous moments of downtime all wrapped in outstanding audio, I absolutely can't wait for a sequel.

I enjoyed my time with Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition and will continue to do so thanks to its fun weekly challenges. I hope that this means we'll see indieszero's Retro Game Challenge 1 + 2 Replay release in the west soon.

I had an entertaining time with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate. If you plan on playing it cooperatively then you'll have a blast but either way, its repetition will sink in eventually so keep that in mind before entering the sewers.

I certainly had a good time playing SCHiM but my patriotism may have clouded my judgment. How much would I actually care about SCHiM's locations if I wasn't constantly pointing at the screen like in that Leonardo DiCaprio meme? Some people will think the gameplay is too boring and others may love its unique and creative concept too much to care. In the end, I found myself right in the middle.

None of DROS' individual elements are particularly spectacular but they all come together nicely to create a solid puzzle platformer. The weaker aspects of its presentation don't matter as much because the stronger aspects such as art style and satisfying world-building shine when they need to. If the gameplay is all you care about, DROS also does that well enough to get a thumbs-up from me.

I found V Rising to be quite fun and with its many gameplay elements, options, and multiplayer modes; you'll likely find a lot to love here.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak is a great start to a brand new arc with its elements ranging from expected to impressively fresh and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what happens next.

I enjoyed Fruit Mountain even more than Suika Game which is impressive so if you're looking for a bite-sized casual puzzler, play it.

Exo One is a superbly engrossing and entertaining abstract adventure so if that's your kind of game then be sure to play it.

Yes, NeoSprint has dated gameplay but once it starts to click, you'll find yourself hooked as you skillfully win race after race.

What happens when you slap a bunch of iconic sprites on a boring and tedious mobile game? You get METAL SLUG ATTACK RELOADED.

If you enjoyed the original then you'll adore FROGUN Encore, especially if you're looking for a new co-op game to play with a pal.

I didn't quite know what to expect with Rusted Moss but it completely blew me away and it's now one of my favourite Metroidvanias.

It may not be the biggest collection of mini-games out there but there's no denying just how much quality is packed within Gigantosaurus: Dino Sports from its hilarious story to its highly entertaining multiplayer shenanigans.

I had an excellent time revisiting the 2D action in Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked Collection. Although I was reminded just how great these games are, I also remembered how frustrating they can be but overall, this is one exceptional package.
