Mindcop is a seriously clever detective game that refuses to hold your hand, but makes you feel like a genius when you figure out whodunnit.
Farmagia has fun and flashy combat, but its lack of depth and threadbare farming ultimately make it hard to recommend.
Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered is a gleefully stupid action game full of dick jokes, which you'll either find refreshing or horrendous.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is a wonderful way to play a classic of the genre, with gorgeous visuals and super fast combat.
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is a wonderful remake of a game few in the west have played, with seriously compelling combat.
It's got a hell of a steep learning curve, but once you learn the ropes Metal Slug Tactics is a wonderful tactics game full of nostalgia.
Vampire Survivors: Ode to Castlevania is another sensational bit of content, and one that only costs a tiny amount to whip your way into.
The Smurfs: Dreams is a Smurftacular 3D platformer, with tight controls, a lovely soundtrack, and so much variety in its levels.
Tormenture blends a retro horror game with real world escape room elements to create a really unique (and rather spooky) experience.
Shin chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is another wonderful cosy game featuring that daft anime kid, and is a seriously relaxing experience.
Wilmot Works It Out is a wonderful example of cosy gaming done right, with colourful puzzles to solve and a whole lot of charm to boot.
Sonic X Shadow Generations is a fantastic bundle of Sonic games, which learned all the right lessons from Sonic Frontiers.
Neva is a beautiful game that hits you right in the feels, with engaging combat and a soundtrack that'll sweep you off your feet.
Ys X: Nordics is a fun enough RPG with enjoyable combat, but dull sailing sections and subpar visuals make it a slightly disappointing sequel.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is a wonderful and unique fighting game that fans will love, but it takes a lot of dedication to learn how to play.
Phoenix Springs is an intriguing adventure game with a wonderful setting which it's fun to interact with, but don't expect it to be easy.
Cryptmaster is a clever blend of dungeon crawling and word puzzles, and might just be the hidden gem you're looking for.
Sky Oceans: Wings for Hire looks to recapture the magic of Skies of Arcadia, but slow combat and clunky controls let it down significantly.
Metaphor: ReFantazio is another landmark game from the Persona team, with top tier combat and a gripping story that I couldn't stop playing.
Bloomtown: A Different Story is a charming RPG set in a sleepy American small town, with great combat and a banging soundtrack.
