With a beautiful art style, simple puzzle-solving, and an emotional story, The Day I Became a Bird is a bite-sized story with a big heart, and everyone who loves playing cozy games or games with emotional narratives should definitely give it a chance.
Sudden Strike 5 feels intense, not because of all the explosions and chaos that ensues on its battlefields but because of how you need to manage your armies. The real challenge here is not building armies but maintaining them during the battles. This frantic dance between destroying your enemies and constantly looking for ammo and fuel supplies manages to deliver one of the most realistic and complex WW2 RTS experiences in a long time.
John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is an interesting mash-up of different ideas. Slaughtering the roamer hordes in the game is extremely satisfying, and the greater difficulties are brutal. It is excellent for players looking for a hardcore co-op zombie shooter with open-world exploration. The vehicles add a nice touch and make it feel like you are in a true zombie survival movie. It is an overall enjoyable experience, but it could do even better with more content and more rewarding weapon upgrades.
Homura Hime is an interesting blend of bullet-hell, hack and slash, and soulslike genres. It does not try to excel in any of these genres, but instead it manages to deliver a satisfying experience by offering a toned-down version of each. It is an excellent title for players who love playing bullet-hell and action games that feature impressive combat and point-blank accuracy for survival. The visuals are cool, and the level design is fairly decent as well. You do not have to be a master of any of these specific genres to enjoy your time in Homura Hime.
