If more time was poured into Boulder Dash 30th Anniversary's aesthetics and polish then it would be an excellent old-school experience.
In short, Grimvalor would have been a great 2D Souls-like if it featured a steeper level of challenge and more visceral combat.
If you want to enjoy a laidback shoot 'em up without all the stress usually involved in the genre then you'll surely have some fun here.
If you have a fondness for classic Game Boy games then you'll have a nostalgia-fueled good time with the fun yet simplistic Dogurai.
Despite its crazy premise, Kawaii Deathu Desu is a simple game that's a fun distraction between more substantial gaming sessions.
Simply put, TY the Tasmanian Tiger HD will make you feel like it's 2002 all over again. For fans of retro 3D platformers, this is a wonderful thing although modern gamers may find it to be a bit too old-school to thoroughly enjoy.
I enjoyed my time with One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 yet it doesn't quite offer a wholly fresh and exciting gameplay formula. So, if you're happy with more of the same albeit with flashy visuals and cool special moves then you should give it a go.
Playing Paper Beast is like experiencing a Tim Burton style fever dream that'll keep you perplexed and intrigued throughout.
In the virtual world, being bad often feels good so if you want to stick it to a bunch of medieval villagers then you'll love Good Goliath.
In the end, escape room enthusiasts will find a lot to love in the gorgeously atmospheric and puzzle-filled The Room VR: A Dark Matter.
It pleases me to say that Final Assault may just be the best real-time strategy game that you can play in VR. What a great experience.
Its premise may be unique and somewhat rewarding but the way Curious Expedition executes it leaves a lot of room for improvement.
HyperParasite is basically the same game as Hellmut: The Badass from Hell but it's still a ton of fun; if not, more so.
With so many superior games inspired by XCOM out there, Element Space's buggy and tedious battles simply don't measure up.
When it comes to arcade-inspired fun, Snakeybus is definitely a fantastic game but it falls a little flat once the novelty wears off.
As a solo game, Totally Reliable Delivery Service falls flat but playing it with friends makes for a fun-filled cooperative formula.
With a lovely presentation and unique gameplay that you can enjoy with a friend, Sky Racket is a must-have indie for any retro lover.
If you have a silly sense of humour then you'll love Cat Girl Without Salad: Amuse-Bouche but don't expect it to be a top-notch shmup.
Taking its off-the-wall sense of humour into account or not, there's no denying that Freedom Finger is a great shmup in every sense.
Rainbows, Toilets & Unicorns is a ridiculous game but once you put the spectacle aside, you're left with a mostly standard shmup.
