Survivorman VR The Descent is a straightforward game that may not provide decisions or exploration yet it resembles the TV show well.

I had a ton of fun with Little Cities: Bigger! and will definitely play it whenever I want to enjoy a lighthearted and rewarding sim.

It may be frustrating at first but as Stilt grows on you, you'll have a great time as you fling yourself through its many imaginative levels.

My gaming chum and I had a ton of fun with Contra: Operation Galuga and although it doesn't live up to classics such as the peak of run 'n' gun action, Hard Corps, there's certainly a lot to love here, especially with its varied assortment of playable characters.

Astro Duel 2 is a wonderful competitive multiplayer game that's full of variety; sure to entertain a couchful of spacefaring goofballs.

Berserk Boy fits right in to the whole Inti Creates universe so well that it's hard to believe it wasn't actually developed by them.

Classified: France '44 exceeded my expectations as it provides a genuine-feeling WWII campaign along with some rewarding twists.

I may have been hesitant at first but as Welcome to ParadiZe opened up, it quickly became one of my favourite co-op games.

I had an exceptional amount of fun with HELLDIVERS 2 and will happily boot it up whenever I want to experience some frantic co-op shooting action. Throw in a superb sense of humour and oodles of rewarding unlockables and you're left with a cape-worthy offering.

Genso Chronicles is a mostly enjoyable retro RPG that you certainly won't regret playing even if it can sometimes be a bit too repetitive and frustrating. Plus, if you love gathering and crafting then you'll enjoy your time with it much more.

Even as a long-time fan of the franchise, Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island surpassed my expectations and it will likely remain my favourite dungeon-crawling roguelike for many years. So, settle in with an onigiri or 2 and give it a go.

I figured Shooting Blocks would be kind of fun but instead, it feels like the pre-alpha of a game that wouldn't have been good anyway.

Dead End City is one of the best indie shoot 'em ups that I've played in a long time with its unique setup and super-tight gameplay.

Indie throwbacks don't get much better than Lords of Exile with its genuine presentation, constant variety, and pitch-perfect gameplay.

Ufouria: The Saga 2 is a must-play for any 2D platformer fan whether you played the original or not; it's that good and hilarious to boot.

I thoroughly enjoyed GUNVOLT RECORDS: Cychronicle and if you're a fan of the series like I am, you'll love every moment of it.

While definitely rough around the edges, I thoroughly enjoyed Penny's Big Breakaway. There is a lot to get out of its levels whether it's a faster time, higher score, or all of its collectibles but I don't even need a specific reason to play through them again because controlling Penny is entertaining enough in and of itself. If you're looking for a fun and fast 3D platformer then look no further.

If The Mobius Machine incorporated additional unique elements and was more streamlined to navigate, it would have been a great game.

It's impressive how long Balatro's simple gameplay can keep you entertained so be sure to play it if you enjoy a good ol' game of poker.

Nonogram and Story of Seasons fans will absolutely love what Piczle Cross: Story of Seasons has to offer as it's one impressive puzzler.

The clever mix of SRPG and puzzle elements makes Captain Velvet Meteor: The Jump+ Dimensions a supremely entertaining adventure.

qomp2 is so maddeningly difficult that its main campaign feels like it should be some sort of extra-hard bonus mode. It's still fun, though.

Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore is a jewel indeed and a game that shouldn't be as fun as it is so I recommend it to any retro gamer.

Promenade is one of those indie games that you need to have in your collection thanks to its superb gameplay and wide appeal.

Yohane the Parhelion - Numazu in the Mirage - is one of the best surprises that I've played in recent memory so if you love card combat and adorable anime characters then you simply need to play this darling gem of a game.
