The Messenger is more than a mere homage to games from 80s and 90s and especially, Ninja Gaiden; because through its stunning looks, clever writing, fantastic soundtrack and amazing gameplay, it has created its own identity and turned out vastly superior to all of those titles. It's a quality game that makes you want to get back to it as fast as you can and play more. The Messenger is a must-play and no one should miss it

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is not a flawless game and certain parts of it could have been much better, but no one can deny its high production values and how masterfully it is made.

The long wait for Cuphead was really worth it. Its great graphics and fantastic soundtrack are fully reminiscent of early 20th century animations and especially Disney & Max Fleischer cartoons. The gameplay, while being hard & not pulling any punches, is very satisfying and its few problems do not diminish its total value.

Yakuza Kiwami is a fantastic remake of the original PS2 game. It improves & expands Yakuza 1 to create an experience that is new & fresh for new audiences, while being familiar & nostalgic for the old fans at the same time. Being a faithful remake, Kiwami is not as good as the newer Yakuza titles and seems a bit outdated in some spots; but just like all the games in the franchise, is a blast from start to finish.

With 20XX, Batterystaple Games has successfully taken the Mega Man series' formula multiple steps further by adding a series of upgrades and Rogue-Like mechanics. The game looks great, the gameplay is fast and fluid, and although its difficulty sometimes seems insane and, in some cases, even unfair, it's still a fun, exciting, and satisfying title

Engare cannot be completely considered as a game, because it's mostly a tool to unleash the creativity and imagination of its players. Those who are only after the gameplay and nothing else, won't get much out of Engare; but those who love mathematics and/or geometry or are doing graphical work, will undoubtedly enjoy playing it and tampering with its drawing tools

One Finger Death Punch 2 is a massive upgrade compared to OFDP 1 and a worthy sequel with better graphics, animations & music tracks, and much more game modes & hidden extras. The game is very fun to play and its sole big problem is that some people won't appreciate the new brawler system

RUINER is a great game. Its excellent visuals & amazing soundtrack create an engaging atmosphere and combat is exciting & fast-paced. But unfortunately, its brutal difficulty & linear, combat-focused gameplay might discourage some players from continuing the game

Pikuniku is a short & sweet experience that never takes itself seriously. The game is super fun and cheerful thanks to its gorgeous appearance, well-composed music tracks, delightful gameplay and good sense of humor. However, its short length might leave you wanting more.
