It's certainly not as smooth as Taito's 1989 classic Cameltry but Naught is still a fun and challenging indie where you control the stage.
It may star one of the silliest-looking protagonists ever yet Dininho Adventures offers some rewarding old-school platforming fun.
Expansions don't get much more enjoyable than the wonderful Double Trouble and it makes Wargroove one value-packed experience.
I'm sure it has its niche but if you're simply an RPG fan looking for a new game to sink some time into, you can do a lot better than Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris. Its lack of respect for the player's time and unforgivable performance issues are downright ridiculous.
After playing Fairy Tail for a handful of hours, you'll look at your accumulated time and wonder what else you could have done with it. For example, you could have been playing something much more enjoyable, I can guarantee that much.
After having played many Mystery Dungeon style games, it's clear that void tRrLM(); //Void Terrarium is in the top-tier of what the genre is capable of. Add in oodles of heart and a lovely presentation and you're left with one exceptional formula.
Whether you're familiar with the game show or not, there's no denying that Escape Game Fort Boyard is bursting with goofy multiplayer fun that a couch full of chums can easily have a few laughs with.
Kingdom Rush completely nails the tower defense genre and this first entry in the series is great fun to play; even nowadays.
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.
