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.

Nov 1, 2024

The Smurfs: Dreams is a Smurftacular 3D platformer, with tight controls, a lovely soundtrack, and so much variety in its levels.

10 / 10.0 - Tormenture
Oct 24, 2024

Tormenture blends a retro horror game with real world escape room elements to create a really unique (and rather spooky) experience.

Oct 23, 2024

Shin chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is another wonderful cosy game featuring that daft anime kid, and is a seriously relaxing experience.

Oct 23, 2024

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.

Oct 21, 2024

Sonic X Shadow Generations is a fantastic bundle of Sonic games, which learned all the right lessons from Sonic Frontiers.

8.5 / 10.0 - Neva
Oct 15, 2024

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.

7 / 10.0 - Ys X: Nordics
Oct 14, 2024

Ys X: Nordics is a fun enough RPG with enjoyable combat, but dull sailing sections and subpar visuals make it a slightly disappointing sequel.

Oct 12, 2024

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.

8 / 10.0 - Phoenix Springs
Oct 12, 2024

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.

9 / 10.0 - Cryptmaster
Oct 10, 2024

Cryptmaster is a clever blend of dungeon crawling and word puzzles, and might just be the hidden gem you're looking for.

Oct 10, 2024

Sky Oceans: Wings for Hire looks to recapture the magic of Skies of Arcadia, but slow combat and clunky controls let it down significantly.

Oct 7, 2024

Metaphor: ReFantazio is another landmark game from the Persona team, with top tier combat and a gripping story that I couldn't stop playing.

Sep 24, 2024

Bloomtown: A Different Story is a charming RPG set in a sleepy American small town, with great combat and a banging soundtrack.

8 / 10.0 - Exographer
Sep 24, 2024

Exographer is a puzzle platformer with a healthy love of science, and its many clever mechanics make it a joy to dive into.

Persona 3 Reload's Episode Aigis - The Answer DLC may be lacking some social elements, but it's hard to deny more great Persona combat.

8 / 10.0 - Bzzzt
Sep 23, 2024

BZZZT might not be a game that breaks the platforming mould, but it's a hell of a good time with tight controls and varied stages.

Sep 17, 2024

The Plucky Squire is a game oozing with charm and positivity, and the clever word and book based puzzles will keep you gripped from start to finish.

9.5 / 10.0 - UFO 50
Sep 16, 2024

UFO 50 is a celebration of retro gaming, full of wonderful modern ideas, sensational video games and a whole lot of content.
