    Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time
    No matter how you slice it, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time marks the return of a gaming icon in a masterful way as it manages to take risks while offering familiar gameplay. I love its high degree of challenge and hope to one day achieve 100% completion which may be quite a tall order but the fact that I'm compelled to do so just goes to show how much fun this long-awaited sequel is.

    Dragon Lapis
    If you have a soft spot for retro RPGs and want to spend time in a lighthearted world with plenty of humour then you'll definitely enjoy what Dragon Lapis has to offer. It may be too simple at times but there's no denying just how well-crafted of a journey it is.

    Super Mario Bros. 35
    I'm loving Super Mario Bros. 35 and can't wait for the many inevitable updates that it'll receive in the coming months. The blend of its highly competitive online structure with classic 8-bit gameplay is simply a blast and I hope to see you online, too.

    Spelunky 2
    Spelunky 2 is the definition of an addictive game with its high degree of difficulty, charming world, and sense of randomness. However, addictive doesn't necessarily mean fun and unfortunately, I stopped enjoying it after a few hours even though I kept playing anyway.

    CastleStorm II
    CastleStorm II isn't a bad game but it's definitely a substantial step down from the classic original. Speaking of which, after playing this over the past few days, I think I'll go back to enjoying the fantastic first game as it's a far more polished experience.

    Ginga Force
    Out of the hundreds of shoot 'em ups that I've played in my decades of gaming, I can easily say that Ginga Force is one of the best. Its combination of skill-testing stages, rewarding customisation, and lively presentation make it one must-have shmup.

    Alwa's Legacy
    Alwa's Legacy is a lighthearted Metroidvania that's hard to put down once you start playing it. With tight gameplay that features an impressive amount of variety, I certainly recommend picking it up if you love exploring 2D worlds.

    Tamiku
    Those who have been playing video games for as long as I have will adore what Tamiku has to offer. From its charming visuals to its brilliant arcade-style gameplay, I highly recommend it to any old-school arcade game enthusiast.

    Hades
    Hades is in the upper echelon of roguelikes so if you enjoy action-packed combat, concise yet engaging stories, and unlocking rewarding goodies then you'll have a phenomenal amount of fun trying to escape the Underworld.

    Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia
    You might enjoy Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia if you're a fan of the show but even if you are, there's no denying just how unchallenging and unrefined of an experience it is. Here's hoping that a much better Trollhunters game is made down the road.

    Going Under
    I love when indie games offer something unique and special and Going Under certainly does with its clever premise, striking style, and supremely rewarding roguelike structure and beat 'em up gameplay. If only real internships could be this fun.

    Cavemen Tales
    Just like its country bumpkin counterpart, Caveman Tales is a bare-bones simulation game that can be good to wind down with.

    Kingdom Rush Origins
    Kingdom Rush Origins continues the tradition of supremely rewarding tower defence gameplay and it plays wonderfully on Switch.

    Tamarin
    Tamarin may be an adorable game but it's also one that'll make you wonder if it's sponsored by the NRA with its odd use of guns.

    Tin & Kuna
    With many 3D platformers out there, I'm glad that Tin & Kuna offers a challenge-based setup as it makes mastering levels enjoyable.

    Warsaw
    Warsaw does what few World War II games do by crafting an oppressive campaign that can feel unfair yet manages to remain hopeful.

    ATOM RPG
    Fans of old-school RPGs will get a kick out of Atom RPG and its Fallout-inspired campaign but it's best to stick with the PC version.

    Party Hard 2
    Party Hard 2 is definitely a step up from the original but it's still plagued with dumb AI and gameplay that can be rather tedious at times.

    Paradise Killer
    Paradise Killer is a rarity amongst detective games as it accomplishes the feeling of being an actual investigator within its unique setting.

    Takotan
    Takotan is a barebones and occasionally annoying horizontal shoot 'em up yet it manages to remain charming and fairly enjoyable.

    Space Elite Force II
    Space Elite Force 2 carries on the tradition of the first game by offering light shoot 'em up roguelike fun that you can play with a chum.

    Space Elite Force
    When it comes to shmups, Space Elite Force is the kind that's fun to mindlessly play as you watch a movie or wait for your proctologist.

    Guns of Mercy: Rangers Edition
    Single-screen shooters rarely pack as much firepower as Guns of Mercy - Rangers Edition does and it's quite fun to play with friends.

    Bounty Battle
    Bounty Battle's character roster is the only thing it has going for it as everything else comes across like a school project gone wrong.

    Batu Ta Batu
    If you want a simple fast-paced arcade puzzle game to play with friends then you certainly can't go wrong with playing Batu Ta Batu.

    Death's Hangover
    It'll warrant a few laughs and is rather fun in co-op but Death's Hangover doesn't really do much to break out of the Breakout mold.

    GORSD
    Fans of unconventional arcade-style experiences will love what GORSD has to offer, especially if they plan on playing it with friends.

    Robots under attack!
    Mastering the stages in Robots under attack! regularly requires a lot of patience which makes it a fun albeit sometimes irritating game.

    Doodle Derby
    Doodle Derby is an enjoyable indie with a surprising amount of creativity but its often frustrating controls regularly spoil the fun.

    Johnny Rocket
    Although Johnny Rocket looks like an entertaining indie, its gameplay is plagued with frustration that will turn your smile upside-down.
