    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.

    Soldner-X: Himmelssturmer is a classic shoot 'em up through-and-through so if you still haven't played it yet, definitely check it out.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Borderlands 4 and although it doesn't reinvent the series, it provides a formula that fans will appreciate while newcomers will surely be impressed by the frantic co-op online multiplayer zaniness.

    Digimon Story Time Stranger excels in a lot of ways, especially with its ridiculous amount of Digimon that are great fun to experiment with. Although I'm a newbie to the series, I must admit that this lovely RPG adventure made me a fan.

    It's awesome that shoot 'em ups as unique and enjoyable as RANDOMAX are releasing all the way in 2025 and the dev's passion really shows.

    As a cute and simple game, Candy Rangers is certainly a charmer but it doesn't do anything beyond the very basics to get its hooks in you.

    Jelly Troops is a very simple game that you can enjoy with an online or local friend but keep in mind, its replay value can be severely limited.

    I had some fun with the characterful SONIC WINGS REUNION but it definitely doesn't live up to its iconic 2D shoot 'em up predecessors.

    Dreams of Another may seem like it has a clever gameplay premise but it gets monotonous very fast. You might enjoy its clever story, though.

    Juggling attacks and skills as you gradually make it further through its variety of stunning environments makes Absolum one rewarding brawler.
