What happens when you slap a bunch of iconic sprites on a boring and tedious mobile game? You get METAL SLUG ATTACK RELOADED.
Yes, NeoSprint has dated gameplay but once it starts to click, you'll find yourself hooked as you skillfully win race after race.
Exo One is a superbly engrossing and entertaining abstract adventure so if that's your kind of game then be sure to play it.
I enjoyed Fruit Mountain even more than Suika Game which is impressive so if you're looking for a bite-sized casual puzzler, play it!
It may not be the biggest collection of mini-games out there but there's no denying just how much quality is packed within Gigantosaurus: Dino Sports from its hilarious story to its highly entertaining multiplayer shenanigans. 🦖
I had an excellent time revisiting the 2D action in Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked Collection. Although I was reminded just how great these games are, I also remembered how frustrating they can be but overall, this is one exceptional package. 🚀
I had a lovely time playing Luigi's Mansion 2 HD as it brought back memories as well as solidified how special of a series these ghost-busting adventures are. Plus, the animation and audio design remain some of the best in all of gaming. 👻
With its brilliant stage designs, adorable presentation, and welcome new ability, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble is the most amount of fun I've had monkeying around since the original debuted. 🐵
Even with its slight shortcomings, ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree is the best expansion that I've ever played thanks to its unique-feeling world that behaves more like a 1.5 sequel than a mere extension of what players have come to expect. 💍
I had a blast with Mixture and would love to see a sequel one day, especially considering just how well-mixed of a cocktail it is.
From its hilarious game world to its exciting tower defense battles, Captain Toonhead vs. The Punks from Outer Space is the bee's knees.
If you want to train to be an expert pilot, Ultrawings 2 will surely provide plenty of entertaining hours full of flight-based fun.
I had a few laughs with HappyFunland but as a game, it's not fun at all and its irritating control issues really make it a challenge.
Playing Sushi Ben kept a smile on my face for every second of playtime so if you want a lighthearted story-based VR game, here you go.
If it featured a bit more fleshed out and refined gameplay, Sugar Mess - Let's Play Jolly Battle would be a must-play VR shooter.
Umbraclaw's unconventional nature will surely perplex many gamers but once you get it, it's hard to stop playing with this cat.
It's hard to believe that this series has been around for 15 years but BIT.TRIP RERUNNER proves that it's still a ton of fun nowadays.
I had a solid time with Paper Trail but it definitely becomes tedious once you realise that its core gameplay is actually rather simplistic.
