Anyone who digs challenging 2D action games will have a blast with Gravity Circuit so this is one indie that I highly recommend.
I had way more fun with Mr. Run and Jump than I thought I would as its puzzle-like approach to stringing together jumps is impressive.
Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes: Definitive Edition is simply a fantastic adventure that any puzzle game fan should go on.
As a spin-off of a highly underrated game, Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara is a lovely 3D platformer that's full of charm and heart.
Mind-bending first-person puzzlers don't get much better than Viewfinder so play it if you enjoy games like Portal and Superliminal.
If it released in 2010, Killsquad would be considered a much better game but there are simply so many better options out there now.
Manic Mechanics' simple approach to co-op gameplay is enjoyable at first but it becomes repetitive fast thanks to its lack of variation.
Oaken is one of the best-looking and sounding indie games I've played this year and its strategic elements are wonderfully fleshed-out.
Remnant II is the most improved sequel that I've played in a long time and I can't wait for the third installment to release. Until then, I'll enjoy blasting away all sorts of dastardly foes within the absurdly wondrous world that's presented here.
Exoprimal is a hilarious game that will likely (and unfortunately) fall flat in today's overly serious gaming culture. However, if the concept of mowing down a ludicrous amount of dinosaurs because an AI tells you to puts a smile on your face then you're sure to love it.
Cross Tails is one of the best strategy RPGs that I've played in a long time with its in-depth systems and rewarding combat. It made me incredibly happy that some developers are still inclined to resurrect formulas that you don't see often enough nowadays.
I had an excellent time with Pikmin 4 and I'm sure you will, too. It's not only a culmination of nearly everything in the series so far, it also introduces plenty of welcome new features that'll make you happy to be reacquainted with your Pikmin chums yet again.
Touhou: New World is a lovely action RPG that will keep you entertained as you fight through charming levels that are filled with excellent music. It occasionally gets repetitive but what's here is still nothing short of delightful, especially if you're a Touhou fan.
As a long-time fan of Taito's Operation series of light gun games, I'm super-excited that Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission VR finally puts the familiar gameplay in the virtual realm and for the most part, it's great stuff that'll make you feel like one of The Expendables.
Although it takes an understandably simplistic approach to the familiar gameplay, there's so much to love about Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg that any fan of the series will absolutely adore almost every second of playtime.
OXENFREE II: Lost Signals shows that dialogue can carry a game even if it's light on gameplay so it's great if you want an immersive tale.
Crime O'Clock may be an easy-breezy game but watching everything play out as it does is simply as mesmerising as it is rewarding.
As you can see, Enclave HD presents a rapid succession of highs and lows so at the end of the day, it's quite a middling affair.
Gimmick! SPECIAL EDITION is a delightful NES classic and its rewind feature is essential seeing as it can be one brutal adventure.
Penetrating Armored Lab Force VULVEHICLES can be tricky due to its unconventional controls but once you get in there, it's pretty fun.
