Old World mixes Civilization gameplay elements with Crusader Kings' story events and characters and creates a unique experience for the fans. The game has some issues in the UI, and its graphics are a little bit outdated. Also, it can be overwhelming for newcomers. All and All, It is a well-made strategy game that I can easily recommend to the genre's hardcore fans.

Death's Door is a gorgeous action RPG inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and Souls Franchise. It has well-made hand-designed interconnected levels with a delicate combat system and elegant puzzles. Death's Door also succeeds in audiovisual aspects and delivers an unbelievably coherent experience. This game is an indie masterpiece and a must-buy.

Beautiful Desolation is an exciting blend of point-and-click adventure and classic isometric RPG. The game features a well-written story that sets place in a bizarre world that is somehow familiar and strange at the same time. There are some problems with the game's RPG elements, and the control system is not well implemented in console versions. Anyways, it is an interesting game with a good story and beautiful audio-visual experience, which I can recommend to that point and click fans.

The Wild at Heart is a heartwarming, beautiful game inspired by the gameplay mechanics of the Pikmin series. The game uses a succulent watercolor art design that transcends the overall experience. There are some minor problems in resource management mechanics and control systems. Still, overall, it is a great experience that I can recommend to almost anybody interested in puzzle, adventure, and exploration games.

Papetura is a beautiful art game inspired by Amanita Design titles like Machinarium and Botanicula. This game takes place in an exquisite paper world. It has a minimalistic story that tries to convey some essential concepts and succeeds in that manner. Papetura is a short yet lovely game that anyone interested in abstract games should play.

Kaze and the Wild Masks is a beautiful platformer game, heavily inspired by the Donkey Kong series. Kaze and the Wild Masks succeed in giving the players a challenging experience by following fundamental game design rules set by the Donkey Kong series. It doesn’t add anything new to the genre and may feel a lot like old-school games. All and all, I can recommend this game to old-school platformer fans.

Oddworld: Soulstorm is a good puzzle platformer with a heavy emphasis on trial and error. Most of the game’s puzzles are very well-designed, but some frustrating ones could have been designed better. The game is still considered a challenging game like its predecessors. Unfortunately, some control issues and technical bugs prevent it from being a perfect game. All and all, despite some problems, Oddworld: Soulstorm is a good game that I can recommend to fans of platformer games.

Curse of the Dead Gods is a Roguelite game that combines gameplay ideas from different successful games to offer a unique experience. It may look similar to Hades, but other than a superficial similarity, it uses original art direction and creates a dark atmosphere. Unfortunately, it has some problems in the narrative, and the developers didn’t use the game’s full potential. At All, Curse of the Dead Gods is an excellent experience, and I believe Roguelite fans will enjoy it.

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury once again proves that Nintendo is the master of platformers. Even though the Super Mario 3D World was initially released for Wii U, it is still superior to most platformers out there. Bowser's Fury is also an excellent addition. It has some minor flaws, but the overall experience is delightful. There are some minor problems in the Co-op part, but, all and all, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is a must-buy for anyone loving platformers or having a Nintendo Switch.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game Complete Edition manages to give the players a good "beat 'em up" experience. It has good pixel art graphics and excellent chiptune music that are entirely suitable for this genre. There are some online Co-op problems, and some of the overall designs may feel old, but all and all, it is an enjoyable "beat 'em up."

Super Meat Boy Forever is a challenging platformer like its predecessor that needs precision and lightning-fast reflex to overcome its challenges. Some changes to the game like auto running may not appeal to older fans, but it is implemented reasonably well. The randomly generated maps of the game cause some of them to feel incoherent, and this makes the game overall feeling inferior compared to the previous installment. In general, it is an enjoyable platformer game, but it is nowhere near the original Super Meat Boy.

Chronos: Before the Ashes is a pretty traditional Action RPG Soulslike game with adventure flavor that manages to present the player with a pretty normal and standard experience in the genre. It features exciting mechanics like the age system, but it isn't woven coherently in the game structure. Chronos: Before the Ashes can be an enjoyable game for Soulslike fans, but it doesn't offer anything significantly different or better than other Souls clones.

Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory is a great rhythmic game based on the series, which is known for its complex story and masterpiece music. Melody of Memory succeeds in summarizing past Kingdom Hearts games' story and makes it ready for future installments. This game features about 140 excellent musical scores and offers a great experience. There are some minor issues like the item system, which seems redundant, but it is an enjoyable game for fans of Kingdom Hearts and rhythmic games despite these issues.

Godfall is a looter slasher game that successfully delivers a robust combat system alongside gorgeous next-gen graphics. Unfortunately, it fails in utilizing all the potential of story settings. It also gets boring and repetitive near the end. It doesn’t add anything special to the action genre. It is not a bad game; neither is it a great game. Godfall is just an OK game with really astonishingly good graphics.

SpellForce 3: Fallen God is a unique blend of RPG and RTS genre that is built upon on great foundations of the main SpellForce 3 game. It offers an exciting story featuring Trolls, and you can enjoy its narrative even if you didn’t play the main game. The game can be somewhat overwhelming for someone who doesn’t have any RTS and RPG genre background. At all, despite minor issues, it will be a pleasant experience for RTS fans.

AquaNox: Deep Descent is a wasted effort to revive a unique underwater submarine shooter game. It features a somewhat good story, but it is not strong enough to convince you to continue the game. It’s gameplay core mechanics are also mediocre and are not very exciting. The graphics are too old for a late 8th gen game. The game can be enjoyable for some players, but I cannot generally recommend it.

Going Under is a charming Roguelite game with a satirical story about big tech companies that give the players a decent gameplay experience. It also features extensive difficulty settings that can help newcomers understand the core of the Roguelite genre. The game uses a unique art style that completely fits the theme. A low number of dungeons and some other issues can make the game a little boring after a few hours, but it is an enjoyable experience.
