Ven VR Adventure is a solid 3D platformer with a mix of fun and frustrating moments yet it doesn't do anything particularly special.

Vertigo 2 is a weird game that can be off-putting for sure but once you get immersed in its odd world, you'll end up having a blast.

Although its levels are highly entertaining, Tiger Blade's boss fights will make you want to turn the game off in rage. They're not fun.

Telenet Shooting Collection includes a variety of early '90s shooters from the multidirectional Granada to the enemy copying fun of Gaiares. If you have nostalgia for the genre then I certainly recommend picking up a copy for yourself.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Jinshin and hope to see many more RPGs with a similar fantastical take on Japanese culture. It may be simple at its core but it's also hard not to appreciate the wealth of unique content that it has to offer.

I enjoyed roaming the Terarium while controlling my favorite Pokemon and the sheer number of different Pokemon spread around the Kitakami and Terarium regions is sure to make all Pokemon collectors happy.

Molecano is a sweet and simple puzzle game that's packed with oodles of levels to master and characters to unlock. Its basic gameplay does get repetitive rather quickly but holy moley, it's still a wonderful game to wind down with via short play sessions.

I had a solid time with Koumajou Remilia II: Stranger's Requiem and it is a step-up from the first game but it doesn't really go above and beyond what you'd expect from 2D action games. It's certainly worth at least a playthrough, though, especially if you're a Touhou fan.

Arashi: Castles of Sin: Final Cut can be enjoyable when it works; specifically, the stealth component. Even then, it doesn't do anything exceptional and the resulting formula struggles to rise above an average VR action game. That dog sure is cute, though.

Lake: Season's Greetings is a wonderful holiday treat that will get anyone in the mood for the season even if it is a little repetitive.

This Bed We Made is an intriguing mystery that warrants multiple playthroughs if you want to experience everything that it has to offer.

Toasterball is indeed the next must-have party game thanks to its top-notch use of variety while keeping the core gameplay simple.

Backpack Hero is a novel game that can be enjoyable at first but its awkward controls and repetitive dungeons get stale rather quickly.

As a lover of trains and real-time strategy, Train Valley 2 - Community Edition really scratched an itch and it's a superb sequel to boot.

I had a blast with Teardown as it really got its hooks in me with its clever combo of destruction and strategic missions. Great stuff!

Catering to both 2D action enthusiasts and casual gamers alike, Astral Ascent is a roguelike that anyone can thoroughly enjoy.

I had a great time with TEVI and wholeheartedly recommend it to any fellow Metroidvania fan, especially if you love cute adventures.

Coral Island is a carefree island farming sim with a lot of charm set in a vibrant world. It borrows quite heavily from similar games yet it also manages to forge its own identity and throw in a bunch of fresh concepts, too.

SteamWorld Build is a relaxing simulation game that may lack challenge but it has plenty of heart. Watching your town and mine facilities expand to a bustling interconnected industry is satisfying stuff although once you reach the end, you'll likely never pick it up again.

Irem Collection Volume 1 is a compilation of shoot 'em ups that any genre fan will happily add to their library. If you want to experience some history of the genre then check it out but just don't expect any supplementary content as that's where this package falls flat.

Baldur's Gate 3 is an outstanding achievement in game design, character-based storytelling, and player choice. So, if you've been hesitating to play it like I have then don't be a goof and check it out already; you almost certainly won't regret it.

It may have a promising gameplay premise but Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord would have been better as a story-driven adventure.

Roboquest proves that all you need is a well-done experience which keeps things exciting even if its gameplay is intentionally standard.

I appreciated my time with Pui Pui Molcar Let's! Molcar Party! as it makes for a lovely game to play for anyone who loves guinea pigs.

As someone who loves variety in their co-op games, SUPER CRAZY RHYTHM CASTLE impressed me a great deal with what it has to offer.

I'm very happy that games like MECHBLAZE exist in this day and age as it proves that old-school 2D action can still be exciting.

If Prison City released for NES, I imagine that it would be on many gamers' top 10 lists for the console's library; it's retro done right.

Although it does a lot right, The Last Faith ends up feeling unnecessary and forgettable, especially in such a super-saturated genre.
