Venba is a short, impactful, and beautifully presented look into the lives of an immigrant family that'll likely stay with you for a long time.

It's definitely a unique and entertaining puzzle game yet Side Decide doesn't quite have the staying power that I was hoping it would.

I enjoyed my time with Ducky's Delivery Service so if you want a unique arcade-style game then you may find yourself having fun with it.

It may not live up to the Illusion titles for Sega Genesis but what's here is good stuff nonetheless as Disney Illusion Island presents a wondrous game world that can be rather enjoyable to explore. Just don't expect much variety or any sense of challenge.

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is a solid successor to one of the most iconic beat 'em up series out there. If you're up for some brawling fun with an interesting roguelike structure then definitely give it a go but watch out for those TNT blasts.

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.

8.2 / 10.0 - Remnant II
Jul 25, 2023

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.

8 / 10.0 - Exoprimal
Jul 24, 2023

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.

8 / 10.0 - Cross Tails
Jul 22, 2023

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.

8.5 / 10.0 - Pikmin 4
Jul 19, 2023

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.

7.7 / 10.0 - Touhou: New World
Jul 18, 2023

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.
