    PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC is one of the best 3D platformer remakes and a superb example of the genre from a simpler time. There's just so much Pac'd in here that you can spend hours upon hours and still discover new goodies and fun challenges.

    FINAL FANTASY TACTICS - The Ivalice Chronicles takes an already incredible SRPG and makes it even better with plenty of modern niceties and full voice acting. Hey, you can finally learn how to pronounce the characters' names and that's worth it alone.

    Agatha Christie - Death on the Nile is a funky fresh twist on the classic novel that presents 2 very different but intertwining storylines and a variety of elaborate puzzles. If you're a fan of detective games at all then you can't miss this one.

    SILENT HILL f is one of the best survival horror games out there with its constant surprises, pitch-perfect game worlds, and exceptional blend of combat and puzzles; sometimes, both at the exact same time.

    Cladun X3 is a super-customisable action RPG that boasts plenty of small dungeons and intuitive combat. The need to grind and micromanage everything can be a bit much but the lively spirit of it all is still sure to make you smile as you play.

    Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree is a roguelike where the more you play it, the better it gets. With so much variety in its combat thanks to an awesome cast of characters and flashy unlockable spells, those who love to experiment will be downright hooked.

    Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds features some of the best track variety in the genre as well as a visceral driving experience that has you seamlessly take to the skies, water, and road. If you love kart racers, it's an absolute must-play.

    If you enjoy nonsensical silliness and making a mess then Henry Halfhead is a wonderfully curious little game that you need to play.

    HYKE:Northern Light(s) is a super-fun action RPG that does a great job of providing a variety of gameplay via its unique character abilities. The maze-like dungeons are challenging and rewarding for sure but I wish there was more to the game world elsewhere.

    I can't believe how much better Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter looks, sounds, and plays compared to the original. It may not be as epic as some of the more recent games but what's here is certainly charming and satisfying enough for any RPG fan to easily fall in love with it.

    LEGO Voyagers is an unforgettably lovely co-op adventure that's filled with heart, rewarding puzzles, and light platforming. It can be frustrating and a bit tedious at times but overall, there's so much variety and fun to be had that I still highly recommend playing it.

    Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush is such an exciting chunk of DLC that breathes new life into an already incredible experience. From chilling at DK Island to frantically punching everything in sight during Emerald Rush, you'll have a barrel of fun.

    Class of Heroes 3 Remaster may not be a massive step up from its predecessors but one thing's for sure: if you love old-school dungeon crawlers then you'll thoroughly enjoy discovering its copious amounts of rewarding content. Plus, the characters are so cute.

    Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is full of customisable mech combat and striking environments to explore. However, its gratifying combat is often contrasted with its sporadic pacing and generic story and characters. It's still a lot of fun, though, if you care about that sort of thing.

    DRAGON BALL GEKISHIN SQUADRA is one of my new favourite online multiplayer games thanks to its incredibly fun and frantic large-scale battles that keep you strategising and forging ahead while taking in the awesome sights and sounds which will make any fan light up.

    Lost Soul Aside certainly has a lot going for it with its incredibly enjoyable combat, stunning environments, sense of variety, and oodles of upgrade opportunities. However, if you're looking for an immersive story or memorable characters, it will surely disappoint.

    If The Knightling smoothed its annoying aspects out while making its gameplay feel more distinct, it would be a pretty good game for sure.

    The blend of twin-stick shooting and tower defense makes Otherwar an enjoyable yet standard-feeling formula that becomes repetitive quick.

    It may not be what you'd expect from a Metroidvania yet Adventure of Samsara is jam-packed with retro challenge and rewarding exploration.

    I had a lovely time with EVERYBODY'S GOLF HOT SHOTS and its adorably energetic game world that's filled with bubbly characters and accessible gameplay that anyone can easily enjoy. So, if you're up for a game of golf, why not give it a go?
