Etrange Overlord is one of the most unconventional RPGs that I've ever played and despite its repetitive gameplay, there's a lot of lighthearted fun to be had as you gradually upgrade your chums and take in all the fun-filled musical moments with its charming cast of goofballs. 🔥
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a great tactical stealth game that has not only held up wonderfully on its own, this new Nintendo Switch 2 release is the definitive way to play it on console so definitely get it if you enjoy challenging strategic gameplay. ❕
I ended up thoroughly enjoying my time with GreedFall: The Dying World but it certainly isn't for everyone, especially impatient folks who aren't willing to let it grow on them as they carefully tinker with the wealth of options and gameplay systems. ⚔️
There's a lot packed in to Sumerian Six and it's a great game if you're looking for some laughs as you sneak around taking out nogoodniks. 🎖️
I had such a lovely time playing through the puzzling scenarios within Planet of Lana II that I know I'll still think fondly back on it for years. 🐈
It's great how Scott Pilgrim EX balances intuitive gameplay with its many clever mechanics to make for a diverse yet streamlined experience. 🎸
With swanky gadgets and fun environments to explore, Ratcheteer DX is a retro throwback that I recommend to any fan of Game Boy classics. 🔧
I had a solid amount of fun with Fortuna Magus but it can feel bare-bones at times with combat and cute art being the stars of the show. ⭐
Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse is one of my new favourite 2D action games thanks to its clever combination of gameplay structures, consistently rewarding sense of progression, variety of enemies and skills, and gorgeous presentation that ties it all together. 🎩
Hunt The Night is an incredibly challenging game that does an awesome job of pushing you to perform better and better in its grueling world. 🩸
Incorporating intuitive skateboard mechanics within a challenging ship-hopping adventure makes Seafrog stand out as unique and super-fun. 🐸
It may be simple at its core but HyperDot is so full of variety and ways to play that it'll keep you (and perhaps your chums) happily hooked. 🔴
REANIMAL's more 3-dimensional approach to its horror puzzle-adventure gameplay really supercharges the scares and sense of exploration. 😨
Mastering each carefully-designed room within the eerie campaign of LOVE ETERNAL will keep you on edge and it's one very rewarding game. 🏚️
Lovish is a very special indie game that really stands out with its unique campaign and top-notch random humour. How could you not love it? ❤️
I enjoyed playing The Prisoning: Fletcher's Quest and had some laughs but its basic gameplay and small scope certainly make it feel limited. 🤠
As a rarity in the genre, WiZmans World Re;Try is a pick-up-and-play RPG that'll have you experimenting as you happily forge ahead. 🧚♀️
Tiny Garden provides a relaxing formula where you strategically plant crops and decorate your little clamshell however you wish. So cute! 👩🌾
Considering it takes a long time to start getting really good, God of War Sons of Sparta can test your patience but if you stick to it, you'll find one rewarding Metroidvania with oodles of content, gorgeous areas, and a solid variety of enemies and puzzles. 🏛️
First and foremost, Calamity Angels: Special Delivery is a comedy game and it delivers (sorry) on that foundation exceptionally well as it'll constantly make you laugh out loud if you don't take it too seriously. Even though it gets repetitive, you'll still make plenty of memories. 📦
