    The Curious Tale of the Stolen Pets is not only super-cute, it's also genuinely one of the most original and clever VR games so far.

    Few exercise games are as enjoyable and comprehensive as BoxVR so if you want to sweat while wearing a headset, give it a go.

    When it comes to both its cinematic and gameplay elements, Golem manages to remain an enjoyable and engaging tale throughout.

    I can't think of a reason why anyone would want to play Blindy. From its irritating concept to its annoying gameplay, it's one bad game.

    It may be rough around its 8-bit edges but Haunted: Halloween '86 can be quite enjoyable after you get used to its shortcomings.

    Those who want a simple platformer with oodles of replay value will get a lot of fun out of Bloo Kid 2 and its charming world.

    When it comes to Sonic-inspired indies, Polyroll is a solid 2D platformer but it simply doesn't fill the iconic hedgehog's oversized sneakers.

    Unique and high quality indie games like Skybolt Zack don't come around often so if you enjoy 2D action games then give it a try.

    If you enjoy rhythm games or are simply curious about the genre then I highly recommend playing Groove Coaster: Wai Wai Party!!!! From its amazing music to its challenging yet intuitive gameplay, it's a prime example of what the genre is capable of.

    If you like going deep into the lore of the Dungeons and Dragons multiverse then I can't think of a better game for you. However, if you're looking for fun gameplay, it's better to look elsewhere because Planescape Torment isn't a fun game; it's an immersive one and it tries to tell a story that's utterly depressing but in the end, we read it because we care about the mysterious nameless one.

    Xeno Crisis is undoubtedly a solid throwback to co-op twin-stick shooters but with so many better options available, it's difficult to wholeheartedly recommend. That being said, you probably won't regret buying it if you're itching for more retro action.

    Sturmwind EX is one of the best shmups available for modern consoles. It's clear that a lot of love and attention went into every detail of its gameplay and world and the result is one refined and super-satisfying arcade experience.

    Old-school beat 'em up fans will surely have some fun with Stay Cool, Kobayashi-San! but its repetitive and random nature definitely makes it an ultimately tedious and frustrating experience.

    Need for Speed Heat boasts a large varied world and a cool gameplay twist with the addition of cops who are often on your tail. However, it doesn't do much else to stay interesting, making it just an average racer in a genre that has so much more to offer.

    Mango Protocol's twisted sense of humour is in full force in MechaNika so if you love dark humour and adventure games, give it a go.

    If you like first-person adventure games of the horror and mystery variety then you'll definitely enjoy Close to the Sun.

    Tracks: The Train Set Game would be a great game if it were more polished. As it is, I can only recommend it to fellow train enthusiasts.

    Dark Devotion is one of the most brutally challenging 2D action RPGs and the controls definitely don't complement its tough gameplay.

    Those who enjoy gradually powering up while conquering procedurally generated Zelda-style dungeons will have a blast with Sparklite.

    Cat Quest II took what made the original special and amplified the fun with co-op multiplayer and a variety of enjoyable quests.

    I imagine that less patient gamers will dismiss Mistover but once you let it hook you, it's a tough RPG to put down.

    Disney Tsum Tsum Festival is a wonderful party game. Whether you're looking to entertain the kids or simply want a lighthearted game to play with friends, you're bound to have a ton of adorable fun with this mini-game collection.

    3D platformers don't get much cuter than New Super Lucky's Tale. Although it can be fun for less skilled gamers, genre veterans will likely find it a bit too unengaging due to its low degree of challenge and typical core gameplay.

    Although Disgaea 4 Complete+ isn't a substantial upgrade to the previous iteration, what's here is still a fantastic SRPG. Therefore, if you don't already own it and are a genre fan then I recommend picking up a copy.

    The Legend of Dark Witch was a blast back in 2014 and it's still a treat to play 5 years later. Whether you're new to the series or not, it's a must-play game for any 2D action game enthusiast.

    In the end, Harvest Moon: Mad Dash disappoints as a Harvest Moon game and as a puzzler. It definitely has some redeeming qualities but they're so minor when compared to the super-easy and humdrum gameplay that I simply can't recommend playing this silly spin-off.

    Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 offers varied family-friendly fun. With so many sports and mini-games to enjoy, it's easy to find something to like about this star-studded package.

    Even though Ice Age: Scrat's Nutty Adventure contains some ridiculous glitches and flat combat, it's still a fun 3D platformer that acts as a decent throwback to the PS2 era. So, if you love Scrat or have nostalgia for the genre then it might be worth checking out.

    Killer Queen Black is a wonderful adaptation of the modern arcade game. If you're a fan of unique online multiplayer experiences and frantic 2D action, it's a definite must-play game.
