    If you're a fan of twin-stick shooters then you have to play Sektori as it's one of the best representations of the genre in modern gaming.

    SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide feels like a '00s-era 3D platformer in many ways and its sense of variety and constant fun with impressively intricate stage designs made me quite happy. It can be glitchy and confusing, though, so keep that in mind.

    Syberia - Remastered is a classic adventure game and this new iteration certainly delivers a unique clockpunk aesthetic that the series is known for. It's still difficult to move around and there are bugs but if you're a fan of adventure games, you'll be happy to play this.

    With the core games being as stellar as they are, the fact that Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack has so many additions, refinements, and included DLC is just awesome. This may very well be the most jam-packed RPG trilogy in all of gaming and it's all just so delightful.

    PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC - Sonic the Hedgehog Collaboration is perhaps the most enjoyable DLC crossover that I've ever played. With so much content, collectibles, and challenges that are set in such beautifully designed stages, this is more than enough to delight any gamer.

    Atari 50: THE NAMCO LEGENDARY PACK is one of the best retro expansions out there with its historical value and selection of console ports.

    Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition is a disappointing farming sim that doesn't do much to keep you coming back. There are many better games out there that deserve your attention including The Winds of Anthos so ignore this and go pick that up.

    Possessor(s) is one of the most unconventional Metroidvanias that I've played thanks to its visceral dystopian world and focus on equipment-based combat that rewards experimentation, practice, and patience much more than brute force. Now, that's clever and quite cool indeed.

    Lumines Arise is one of my favourite puzzle games of all time with classic gameplay and flashy new visuals that really pop in VR. Whether you're new to these games or not, you're bound to adore what's in store, especially if you enjoy achieving higher and higher scores.

    Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3 V GENERATION is a mostly familiar experience, especially if you're coming fresh off Re;Birth2 yet it still provides one charming and hilarious adventure that beautifully ties up the original trilogy.

    Tales of Xillia Remastered is one of my personal favourite Tales games so if you're a fellow fan, this version contains plenty of quality of life upgrades that definitely make it worth getting so you can spend even more time with Milla and Jude.

    Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2 SISTERS GENERATION is an improved sequel that modern fans may have missed out on back in the day so it's wonderful that it was re-released for PS4 in the west. If you want some lighthearted RPG fun, you'll love what's in store.

    The fact that Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1+ released in the west after the superior remake Neptunia ReVerse may be baffling but there's no denying that it's a wonderful trip back to the past that dedicated fans will thoroughly enjoy.

    The Lonesome Guild is one of my favourite indie games of the year with its heartfelt story, well-balanced blend of action and puzzles, and delightful visuals that beautifully tie it all together. You're sure to think fondly back on your adventure for years to come.

    NBA BOUNCE is a super-fun and very simple basketball game that's easy to enjoy for everyone with its intuitive gameplay and cute graphics that are made even more endearing by the playable and adorable interpretations of each team's mascot; very cool.

    Biped 2 continues the trend of offering top-notch co-op puzzle platforming fun that its delightfully unexpected predecessor provided in spades. With its funky fresh feeling of constant variety and consistently lovely sights and sounds, it's certainly worth checking out.

    My gaming chum and I had a lot of fun with Chicken Run: Eggstraction, especially thanks to its top-notch presentation that represents the franchise in a phenomenally authentic way. Its gameplay can be frustrating, yes, but it's still rewarding stuff at the end of the day.

    I had a load of fun with FULL METAL SCHOOLGIRL, especially with its absolutely hilarious sense of humour that constantly made me chuckle. Please don't judge it by its silly title as it presents one over-the-top action-packed laugh-out-loud commentary on modern worklife.

    Long-time fans of adventure games will relish everything that Simon the Sorcerer Origins has to offer so be sure to play it if you're a fellow point-and-click veteran. Sure, genre newcomers may frequently scratch their heads but even they'll have a fun time in the end.

    DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake is another faithfully remade package full of the traditional turn-based RPG fun that defined the genre back in the day so if you enjoyed the remake of Dragon Quest III, you will certainly enjoy this collection, too.

    There's a lot of frantic fun packed into GODBREAKERS, especially if you enjoy experimenting with playstyles and enemy abilities. It may be a little limiting of an experience but there's enough entertainment to be had that I still recommend it.

    Although it can be an exceptionally frustrating and unintuitive game, Bye Sweet Carole is still gorgeous and its puzzles can be quite satisfying.
