    Farlands Journey exceeded my expectations and it brought me back to the golden age of experimental 2D platformers.

    Braid, Anniversary Edition is both a throwback to simpler times and a reminder that indie devs can rise above if given the opportunity.

    Rainbow Cotton is the kind of game that series fans will happily add to their collection but it surely won't entice many folks outside of that player base with its dated gameplay that unfortunately hasn't held up all that well.

    I think Under the Bed Games can only go up from here - the fact that Tales from Candleforth is their first game is quite impressive. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who's into escape room games.

    SAND LAND is an unexpectedly beautiful game that's filled with heart, super-fun vehicle-based gameplay, plenty of laughs, and some of the most rewarding exploration out there. Definitely don't let its dry-looking world fool you into thinking any less.

    The core of Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! may be very familiar yet it does so many clever things with the classic party game formula that it's a very worthwhile experience for a couchful of chums, especially if you're a fan of the franchise.

    Purple Slime Production Line has quite a clever design so I wrote this rhyme to tell you that it's worth your time.

    The clever gameplay and slick presentation of Sokobond Express will have you happily pushing more atoms than Niels Bohr.

    If you enjoyed Suika Game and love Azure Striker Gunvolt's music then PuzzMiX will be a welcome treat despite its lack of longevity.

    Sophia the Traveler is simply delightful. From its charming art style to the outstanding amount of detail, this is a great indie treasure.

    I had a decent amount of fun with The Fall of Elena Temple but make sure you don't mind trial and error before playing it for yourself.

    As someone who wants to see more bear representation in gaming, I applaud Epic Dumpster Bear 1.5 DX: Dumpster Fire Rebirth.

    Can you believe Dadish 3D is a thing? After playing it for myself, I'm still convinced that it's some sort of strange fever dream.

    Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is one of the best Metroidvanias that I've played in a long time and it looks and sounds incredible, too.

    MEGATON MUSASHI W: WIRED is one of the best mech games I've ever played thanks to its in-depth customisation component, tight combat, and outstandingly presented story within a fleshed-out anime world. I highly recommend it to any gamer who loves mech action.

    In short, Rose & Camellia Collection doesn't have much to offer beyond a quick laugh, and that's just it - a QUICK laugh.

    I mostly had a great time with Stellar Blade with its combat being the real star of the show. Although exploration doesn't offer much exciting, it's still a worthwhile action adventure game that you're sure to have a lot of fun with.

    SaGa Emerald Beyond is a wonderful RPG for anyone who loves experiencing multiple worlds and stories while partaking in incredibly gratifying encounters against imaginative enemies. This is the sort of game that we need more of.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants provides simple beat 'em up entertainment that can be kind of fun for a couchful of chums. However, its middling nature certainly leaves a lot to be desired.

    Although I love the original and most of the games that it inspired, I found Lunar Lander Beyond to ironically be a step back. Yes, it can still be a rewarding game but the sense of accomplishment will often only come after much frustration.

    Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is an incredibly enjoyable RPG and it brought back great memories of the Suikoden series. Collecting the heroes and having them join you in battle while you build your base and protect the land is just as fun as it was decades ago.

    My question at the beginning of this review was rhetorical - Saviorless was always worth saving. Despite a relatively unexciting first half, there's a solid blend of platforming, action, and puzzles wrapped in a strikingly gorgeous presentation. If you can live with some of its vague storytelling and the weird way it handles collectibles, I wholeheartedly recommend it.

    Class of Heroes 2G: Remaster Edition is definitely a step up from the first game and it's an RPG that dungeon crawling aficionados will adore. Even though some aspects aren't as ironed out as I hoped they would be, it's still one charming and rewarding journey.

    My gaming chum and I absolutely adore Ready, Steady, Ship! and we can't wait for even more factory fun so bring on the DLC and sequel, please. It's a genuinely unique co-op experience that's packed with variety; every genre enthusiast simply needs to play it.

    Gigantic: Rampage Edition is a lot of fun and I'm very happy that they brought it back after years of being left in the gaming graveyard. It may not be a huge step up but what's here is still sure to entertain anyone who loves a chaotic online funfest.

    Goons: Legends & Mayhem provides a lot of hockey-themed entertainment that features a superbly impressive amount of variety. It may be clunky but the overall sense of silliness and joy definitely shines through to make this indie a genuinely worthwhile funfest.

    Although some aspects haven't aged well, I'm very happy that Class of Heroes: Anniversary Edition is here as it reminded me of some great times that I had when I originally played it for PSP way back in the day. It may not be top of its class but it still deserves a B.

    I have some issues with Terra Memoria but they're tiny and barely detract from an otherwise enjoyable experience. Fun battles, exploration, worldbuilding, characters - it's a simple yet solid RPG that I think almost any fan of the genre will find entertaining.

    Let's! Revolution! is one of the cleverest puzzle games that I've played in a long time and it will certainly get you hooked thanks to its delightfully lovely visuals and contemporary take on a classic formula. Who knew that regicide could be this much fun?

    Glorious Savior is an okay retro RPG that has some unique components for sure but they don't add up to much when it all feels as simple and straightforward as it does. I would like to see a more fleshed-out sequel, though, that adds a lot more variety and complexity.
