Heroes of Hammerwatch completely exceeded my expectations and this Ultimate Edition is one of my favourite indies of the year so far.
Ageless presents some truly ingenious puzzles and an engaging story yet its gameplay is a bit too haphazard to fully enjoy.
Lost Wing is certainly a capable high score chaser but it's also one that'll make you frustrated with its difficulty and repetition.
After a handful of rounds, I can easily say that Bullet Beat is a barebones and tedious shooter that genre fans will likely regret playing.
It may be a simple game yet Get 10 quest is an entertaining puzzler that'll push you to achieve higher and higher scores.
Arena fighters simply don't get much better than Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. MaxiBoost ON. Challenging pilots from around the world is so much fun that once you start playing; it's hard to stop so you'll boot this up whenever you want an online fighting fix.
Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection is a prime example of how to create a video game compilation. With oodles of extras and 7 fantastic fighting games in one comprehensive package, this is a must-have for any fan of 2D fighters.
As a huge fan of turn-based SRPGs, I can easily say that Othercide is one of the most unique and rewarding games that I've ever played. Even though repetition rears its ugly head after a while, there's no denying that Othercide pushes the boundaries of the genre.
Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break is the best in the series yet so if you enjoy smashing things by rolling a giant boulder around and setting up traps to mess with your foes then you'll have a blast making and breaking in this fun-filled sequel.
Megadimension Neptunia VII is a brilliant game that's worth playing through for any fan of quirky JRPGs. That being said, this Switch version currently performs poorly and it's definitely not the best version of Nep-Nep's grandest adventure.
You really can't go wrong with playing Tannenberg, especially if you just want a quick online shooting fix after a hard day's work. The authenticity factor is fantastic and the constant push-and-pull of its Maneuver mode will keep you thoroughly engaged.
As I played Rocket Arena, my enthusiasm for its gameplay drained while the sterile nature of it all gradually reared its ugly head. There's certainly some fun to be had but you likely won't enjoy it for as long as its genre competitors.
Panzer Paladin is one of the best retro-inspired games to be released recently so if you love 8-bit 2D action then you'll definitely want to play it as it masterfully combines existing and novel concepts into one cohesive and enjoyable formula.
When it comes to arcade-style puzzle games, few reach the heights of Radical Rabbit Stew. It'll make you hop with delight.
It may be a mostly standard shmup but 1993 Shenandoah definitely offers some unique components that help make it stand out.
From its distinct and challenging bosses to its satisfying unlockables, Neon Abyss is a great roguelike twin-stick shooter.
If The Otterman Empire had clearer objectives, tighter gameplay, and more player feedback then it would have been a very cool indie.
When it comes to co-op puzzle platformers, REZ PLZ offers some fun mixed in with oodles of frustration so bring plenty of patience.
#Funtime is a solid twin-stick shooter with plenty of modes and some cool mechanics but its awful camera can be downright maddening.
Playing Elden: Path of the Forgotten is an exercise in patience. If you can tolerate it then perhaps you deserve enlightenment.
