    Star Ocean: The Divine Force
    Star Ocean: The Divine Force successfully reinvigorates the RPG franchise with an interesting story and characters as well as beautiful settings. D.U.M.A. also makes it fun to zoom around the map and fly through the air on the battlefield. Although the graphics are hit and miss and there are some quality of life improvements needed, Star Ocean: The Divine Force is a JRPG that's definitely worth your time.

    LEGO Bricktales
    LEGO Bricktales masterfully combines rewarding exploration with clever construction-based puzzles to make for a highly entertaining formula. The controls can be annoying when you're building things but once you see it all come together, you'll have a great time.

    Prodeus
    Prodeus is a top-notch old-school first-person shooter that takes what made the classics great and amplifies it with fitting modernizations.

    The Pinball Wizard
    I enjoyed my time with The Pinball Wizard but it's certainly lacking when it comes to variety and excitement. If you decide to play it, keep in mind that it's best to play it as a game to relax with and not as some sort of skill-testing challenge.

    Kao the Kangaroo: Oh, Well!
    If you enjoyed Kao the Kangaroo and are looking for more content then the Oh! Well DLC provides just that even though it's short.

    A Frog's Job
    Stopping time and reaping souls is all in a day's work for a frog and this little platformer showcases that in a somewhat enjoyable way.

    Splatter - Zombiecalypse Now
    It's tough to recommend Splatter - Zombiecalypse Now, especially seeing as there are dozens of much better twin-stick zombie shooters.

    Signalis
    SIGNALIS does a decent job of offering a retro survival horror experience yet it doesn't do much to make it stand out from the crowd.

    Yomawari: Lost in the Dark
    With its unique gameplay and superb audio, Yomawari: Lost in the Dark offers a solid albeit repetitious fear-fest that fits in 2 dimensions.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    White Day: A Labyrinth Named School
    It may feature a distinct premise yet White Day: A Labyrinth Named School manages to become tedious thanks to its repetitious setting.

    Last Days of Lazarus
    Although it's occasionally irritating to play, Last Days of Lazarus remains gripping thanks to its jaw-dropping variety of disturbing situations.

    Charon's Staircase
    If the idea of exploring an edge-of-your-seat terrifying world sounds good then you definitely can't go wrong with Charon's Staircase.

    The Last Hero of Nostalgaia
    The Last Hero of Nostalgaia is basically a rudimentary version of Dark Souls where you play as a stick man but at least it's funny.

    The Darkest Tales
    If The Darkest Tales' gameplay was tightened up a great deal, I would have thoroughly enjoyed it as it has quite a unique premise.

    Cult of the Lamb
    Cult of the Lamb is of course a very popular game and I understand why: it's cute, disturbing, and an excellent game to stream.

    Batora: Lost Haven
    Batora: Lost Haven's consistently challenging battles and puzzles are rewarding and its game-altering decisions are the icing on the cake.

    Unusual Findings
    Unusual Findings is a master class in old-school adventure games and even gives Return to Monkey Island a run for its money.

    Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed
    Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed offers a fantastic online experience that lends itself exceptionally well to the comedy horror franchise.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Arkanoid: Eternal Battle
    ARKANOID - ETERNAL BATTLE is a superb modern adaptation of the iconic arcade game that will easily appeal to newcomers and long-time fans such as myself. I'm definitely looking forward to playing it against actual players instead of just the AI.

    Asterigos: Curse of the Stars
    Asterigos: Curse of the Stars offers an enjoyable formula with exploration and combat that'll keep you hooked as you forge your way ahead. With that in mind, it could certainly use a clearer sense of direction even if it was implemented via an accessibility option.

    Bayonetta 3
    In defiance of a time when many game series are opting to mature, Bayonetta 3 raises a giant middle finger and that's awesome. Believe it or not, it's even more over-the-top than you'd expect so strap on some high heels and get ready for some action.

    Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy
    Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy is a fun and interesting take on roguelikes and survival games with a colossal amount of things to do and I know that a lot of people thoroughly enjoy it. However, there are just too many problems for me to overlook, especially the overbearing load times on PS4.

    Sophstar
    Sophstar is a good vertical shmup that's bursting with many unique controllable ships so it makes for quite a varied and fulfilling arcade shooting experience. It may have rather generic stages but its overall sense of non-stop action still puts it on my recommended list.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    The Spirit and the Mouse
    If you ever feel like a little mouse as you try your best yet you mostly go by unnoticed then The Spirit and the Mouse will surely connect with you as much as it did with me. Plus, it's one cute and laidback tale that's impressively well put-together.

    The Jackbox Party Pack 9
    The Jackbox Party Pack 9 is one of the better entries in the annual series although it still doesn't manage to reach the heights of the first installment. Perhaps we'll see a day when Jackbox Games will capture lightning in a bottle like that again; I sure hope we do.

    Maze Blaze
    Maze Blaze is the bee's knees. From its unconventional structure to its strategic shooting, I had a great time blasting at robots while watching the life slowly drain from their once-neon eyes. It could use a bit of a tune-up, though; as well as much more content.

    Fueled Up
    Fueled Up is one of the best co-op games that I've ever played thanks to its high-pressure gameplay which is so stressful that it's hilarious. Throw in oodles of variety and a bunch of oddball characters and you're left with one great ship-fixing adventure.

    Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway
    I'm happy to say that Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway is the best game in the series so far. Whether you're a nostalgic '90s kid or a modern-day scamp, you're bound to have a tubular time racing with all of these familiar chums.

    • 85 Critic Score
    Slap City
    Although it has a lot of competition, Slap City manages to claim victory in the ever-growing arena of games inspired by Smash Bros. With its phenomenally fun gameplay and solo content that'll keep you having fun for dozens of hours, I highly recommend this wacky fighter.

    • 76 Critic Score
    Wizorb
    After over 10 years since its initial release, it's impressive how well Wizorb has held up in all of its awesomely retro glory. For a simple Breakout experience, you can't get much better than this so I recommend it to anyone who enjoys breaking bricks.
