    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.

    It's definitely a solid twin-stick shooter but after a while, It came from space and ate our brains becomes so monotonous that you'll eventually feel like something came from space and ate your brain. Well, they got me there, I guess.

    Even though there are plenty of online multiplayer games out there, Hypercharge Unboxed is a solid enough offering to be worth playing. The fact that you play as toys is something that the whole family can enjoy, too.

    Playing Sky Rogue is like going back in time to an era when trying your best to get as far as you can was all that mattered.

    If you have a fondness for RPGs from the mid-'90s then I encourage you to give Monster Viator a try. Its wonderful retro aesthetic and rewarding gameplay loop are sure to entertain while providing a healthy dose of nostalgia, too.

    Patapon 2 is an often overlooked classic that you should definitely play if you haven't already. With that said, it doesn't quite feel modernized or remastered enough in this iteration yet it still manages to be packed full of charm and challenge.

    Action RPGs don't get much simpler than Arc of Alchemist but that's a part of its charm. So, if you're looking for a basic and surprisingly rewarding hack and slash adventure then give it a go. Just don't expect it to feel like a current gen experience.

    Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot may not have the deepest combat mechanics but there's no denying just how exciting it is to play. From its jaw-dropping action to its top-notch presentation, this is one epic RPG that fans and newcomers alike can easily enjoy.

    The arcade version of Shinobi is very impressive considering it debuted in 1987 and this release is the ultimate way to enjoy it.

    It may be cute and simple but Fantasy Zone remains one of the most enjoyable shoot 'em ups with its distinctly rewarding gameplay.

    When it comes to chaotic mini-game fun, Ichidant-R provides such great times that I hope to see the other Puzzle & Action arcade games (Tant-R and Sand-R) get Sega Ages releases sometime soon.

    Sega Ages: Columns II contains much more than its title would suggest. If you enjoy retro puzzlers, you'll sink hours into this release as it contains plenty of fantastic content that showcases the addictive core gameplay beautifully.

    If this will be your first time playing Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath then you'll definitely have a fantastic time with its original gameplay formula and quirky Western world. However, there's no reason to double dip if you already own it on another console.

    There's an old-school feel to Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky that'll make series fans nostalgic as they go on the memorable adventure within. Where it lacks in innovation, it definitely makes up for in heart.

    With some great games in the series' past, Puzzle & Dragons Gold is disappointingly stripped down yet it still offers an exciting combat dynamic, especially for those who prefer to flex their skills online.

    Overall, Regina & Mac is full of variety and although it feels like an alpha version of a PS1 game, it can be surprisingly addictive.

    There are many relaxing games out there and Lumini doesn't really offer much new but it is a beautiful game with superb audio to boot.

    Old-school shooter fans who are looking for a challenge will find a lot to love in the stylish and enjoyable Thoth.

    It may be a solid shooter but if Hovership Havoc featured more variety and visual clarity, it would have taken things to the next level.

    Super Crush KO may look like a Saturday morning cartoon but it's one challenging and enjoyable 2D action brawler.

    If you enjoy 2D action games then you owe it to yourself to try out Hardcore Mecha with its varied and supremely fun gameplay.

    It may be a fun game on PC but playing Demolish & Build 2018 on Switch simply doesn't deliver the radiators to the container.

    Playing Roll'd is a lot like trying to balance a ball on the back of your hand. Even though it's challenging, it's simply not that much fun.

    If you've ever had your house broken into then I imagine Roombo: First Blood would be quite a cathartic experience.

    Kuukiyomi: Consider It! is a simple blend of Brain Age and WarioWare that maintains a humorous and quirky vibe throughout.

    It may be easy but Where Angels Cry: Tears of the Fallen Collector's Edition is full of variety which makes it somewhat rewarding.
