Throwing yourself around the complex levels of TOSS! is a great deal of fun but be careful because you can easily hurt your arms.
The combat of RUINSMAGUS: COMPLETE doesn't offer much satisfaction but hanging out in its town is nothing short of delightful.
I wish that Project Wingman: Frontline 59 took a more arcade-like approach to its VR implementation because it feels needlessly limiting.
Crossfire: Sierra Squad is a solid albeit standard military shooter that straddles the line between realistic and arcade a little too safely.
I thoroughly enjoyed the simple action of GAZZLERS with its fun upgrades and roguelike structure but it's ultimately very repetitive.
If you're in the mood for an abstract fast-paced puzzle-filled boss-slaying adventure then you really can't do much better than Cocoon.
Besides a few new unit types and a nifty mode, Wargroove 2 is more of the same but when the core formula is this fun, that's great.
As one of the weirdest games I've ever played, Everhood: Eternity Edition stands tall as a unique and challenging reverse rhythm game.
I love arcade-like games and Pizza Possum is the most refreshing and unique title in the genre that I've played in a very long time.
TY the Tasmanian Tiger 4: Bush Rescue Returns may be a step down from its 3D roots but what's here is still rather enjoyable.
It's true that Cyber Citizen Shockman 2: A New Menace improves upon the original but this buggy port makes it pretty much just as fun.
Fate/Samurai Remnant is one of my favourite action games of the year thanks to its epic combat and character growth opportunities that come together to make each battle feel personalised. It may start out slow but holy hot darn, do things escalate!
Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster brings back one of the greatest RPGs ever made as well as its impressively fleshed-out prequel so if you want to experience an incredible story with phenomenal strategic card-based combat then definitely pick this collection up.
Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless is a substantial step-up from the previous game and it's bursting with so many zany mechanics and party customisation options that it'll make your head spin. Trying to master some of the missions will still give you a headache, though.
Chants of Sennaar is one of the most unique games of the year and it's impressively rewarding, too, so definitely play it if you love puzzles.
Days of Doom has a promising premise yet its mix of genres doesn't accomplish anything exceptional beyond its unique cast of characters.
Gunbrella is one of those indies that presents such a clever combo of fun gameplay elements that it's an easy title to recommend.
If AK-xolotl released 10 years ago, it would likely be a cult classic and although it's kind of fun, it doesn't really hold up in today's market.
Horizon Chase 2 offers a huge assortment of tracks set in real-world locales that make its instinctual and visceral gameplay really shine.
As perhaps the most ridiculous rhythm game I've ever played, Trombone Champ presents a surprisingly satisfying level of challenge.
