    As a retro-inspired game, Willy Jetman: Astromonkey's Revenge does a fantastic job of bringing gamers back to the past while offering fresh and exciting shooting and platforming gameplay. So, rock out with your Willy out and give it a try.

    With so many roguelike twin-stick shooters out there, Last Encounter remains an overall enjoyable yet middling experience.

    Super Mega Space Blaster Special Turbo contains an impressive variety of modes and each one poses an enjoyable level of challenge.

    Side effects of playing Sisters Royale include not being able to close your eyes without seeing clouds of neon projectiles flying everywhere but when you're a shmup fan, that's a good thing. In the end, I'm glad to see Alfa System back doing what they do best.

    Hidden object adventures don't usually include as much variety as The Man With The Ivory Cane but it's still a rather standard affair.

    It may have been a cool game if it released in the early-'10s but Selma and the Wisp just feels dated and tiresome nowadays.

    Trying to have fun playing Help Me Doctor is like faking laughter when your boss tells an awful joke. It just doesn't feel right.

    Playing Crash Drive 2 will provide some fun but don't expect it to fill the shoes of its trick-based sandbox contemporaries.

    It may look goofy but PandaBall provides intuitive and exciting arcade soccer action that's even more enjoyable with a local chum.

    Few Picross-style games manage to feel as fresh and exciting as Depixtion and it's great to see such a clever spin on the classic genre.

    From its delightful visuals to its enjoyable SRPG gameplay, there's a lot to love about Spaceland and it's impressively accessible, too.

    In terms of the quality of its games, Psikyo Shooting Stars Bravo is a slight notch below Alpha but it's still great to have 6 classic titles in 1 convenient collection. It's just too bad that it's missing any supplementary content.

    Your enjoyment of Azur Lane: Crosswave will almost entirely rely on your affinity for gawking at anime girls. If that doesn't align with your tastes then you'll likely be disappointed by the mostly tedious and repetitive experience offered here.

    Although it's been around for years, Bridge Constructor is still a prime physics puzzler and this Ultimate Edition is the best way to play it.

    You certainly won't play Throw Anything for hours yet there's something special about its quirky premise and wacky world.

    I was debating whether to give Super Tennis 0 or 1 stars and I decided on the latter because at least it's functional and looks decent.

    Track Mayhem plays, looks, and sounds great although it's hard not to get bored of playing the same stages over and over again.

    Goblin Sword's developers are clearly talented so I look forward to their next game where they'll hopefully iron out a lot of wrinkles.

    Although it looks like a simple indie, Gravity Error offers a wonderfully implemented challenge with its blend of puzzles and platforming.

    Code Shifter boasts a fantastic premise along with a commendable collection of classic characters. It's too bad that its gameplay is executed in a fashion that's substantially below Arc System Works' generally high bar.

    Its beginning hours may not be exciting but once things start to open up, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics becomes a fantastic SRPG that allows for a great deal of party customization and offers plenty of varied battle scenarios.

    If you're looking for an impressively challenging Metroidvania then Bookbound Brigade is a game that you'll definitely want to play.

    Although it features a lovely presentation and goofy humour, Skellboy's gameplay could use a lot more fine-tuning.

    As far as atmospheric 2D puzzle-solving adventure games go, 7th Sector offers a mostly middle-of-the-road experience.

    Even though it features nifty puzzles and a strikingly unique narrative, EQQO is held back in this non-VR console release.

    Snuffing out dragons as you run and jump through trippy over-the-top stages makes for one mind-blowing journey.

    Aviary Attorney is a funny and distinctly stylish game yet it owes Phoenix Wright a bit too much in residual cheques.

    It may be my inner-hipster talking but I found Mosaic to be a phenomenal anti-game. Even though it's a tough pill to swallow, the journey within is full of stunning visuals and some of the best audio production that I've ever heard in a game.

    Doggie Ninja The Burning Strikers may not offer much in the single player department but competing with 4 friends provides some truly exciting and ridiculous arcade sports action. I give it 4 exploding goals out of 5.

    It may be a few years old but SpeedRunners holds up fantastically and it's a must-play for any local multiplayer enthusiast.
