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.
TP Bullet is a cute and clever 2D platformer that may be frustrating at times but figuring out its tricky levels is still mostly enjoyable.
Fittingly, Ultra Foodmess 2 is a bite-sized party game that's worth adding to your multiplayer playlist but you likely won't play it for long.
The Smurfs - Village Party is an exceptionally fun party game with solid mini-games. What you won't expect is just how big and endearing its single player adventure mode is. How did they manage to pack so much in here? Probably because Smurfs are only a few inches tall.
I thoroughly enjoyed Astor: Blade of the Monolith. It may not be ground-breaking but what's here will entertain you for many hours.
A lot of love went in to bring Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord to the modern age and it shows; great stuff!
Goliath Depot is an arcade-style throwback that's as entertaining as it is retro so grab a chum and get closing those doors already.
Bread & Fred is so brutally tough that I can only recommend it to co-op chums who relish mastering ridiculous challenges together.
I'm happy that I played Please Fix The Road as it's simply one of the best puzzle games released in recent years so get paving, dear chum.
I enjoyed Another Crab's Treasure more than I thought I would thanks to its tight combat, sense of variety, and hilarious use of humour.
From its cute collectible hats to its memorable and lighthearted game world, Little Kitty, Big City is bursting with charm and laidback fun.
If you sincerely appreciate masterful visuals, pitch-perfect audio, and visceral story-telling then Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is about as perfect of a game as you can get. However, those looking for substance gameplay-wise will wish there was much more to it. ⚔️
I had a lovely time with My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery and it certainly exceeded my expectations so no matter who you are, you're bound to find a lot of smiles and cheer in this delightful 3D platformer.
I absolutely loved Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. It may not be for everyone but those who enjoy escape rooms will absolutely adore it.
It's great that we can complete our collection but Cyber Citizen Shockman 3: The princess from another world is still one clunky game.
Touhou Mystia's Izakaya is a small-scale and innocuous game that's cute to wind down with but it doesn't really offer much noteworthy.
Playing Bunhouse will help you relax but there isn't much to hang on to as you hop around performing daily chores and doing yoga.
With a small assortment of enjoyable mini-games to play, Pool Party is best suited as part of a multiplayer playlist and not the main event.
Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution is a lovely game with a fun-filled story. It may have many recycled elements and stages from the previous game but more often than not, it's still a treat to play. 💽
