Even with its retro baggage, Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny is an undeniably great game that fleshes out the original's formula very well and in some unexpected ways to boot. 👹

From its overarching campaign where you try to take down crime lords to its day-to-day patrolling, there's a lot to love about The Precinct. 🚔

Hot Rod Mayhem is a special racing game that offers such a unique sense of fun that you don't often see anymore and I friggin' love it. 🏁

Although there's a lot of entertaining dungeon-crawling and puzzle-solving to be had in CTHULOOT, frequent bugs take away from the fun. 💎

I love indie games that present simple concepts and really flesh them out in surprising ways and that's what Aureole - Wings of Hope does. 😇

Maliki: Poison of the Past is an imaginative and fun blend of adventure and turn-based RPG gameplay but it can also be super-frustrating. ⏳

With a herky-jerky camera and gameplay that doesn't really do anything particularly noteworthy, Dunk Dunk offers okay indie sports fun. 🏀

If you have fond memories of the 3D fighting boom back at the turn of the millennium then you'll adore what Capcom Fighting Collection 2 has in store. Of course, fans of the 2D classics have a lot to sink their teeth into as well so there's something here for every fighting fan. 🤜

After a couple of great and highly underrated RPGs, Death end re;Quest: Code Z certainly disappoints with simply being a generic take on a Mystery Dungeon game. 🐝

8.4 / 10.0 - Tempopo
May 12, 2025

I'm super-happy that a puzzle game as rewarding and whimsical as Tempopo exists so if you enjoy gradually working out elaborate solutions to complex scenarios, you'll be absolutely smitten with what it has to offer. Plus, it's so cute! And the music's great. Okay, bye. 💐

7.6 / 10.0 - Fireball 2
May 12, 2025

Fireball 2 is a supremely fun arcade-style game that will thoroughly test your 2D dodging skills. However, with no online leaderboards and gameplay that only really shines in its limited survival-based modes, scoring high can feel rather hollow. 🔥

Finishing the levels in Sacre Bleu is enjoyable enough but when you throw in its clever scoring system, you're left with a ton of replay value. ⚜️

I had some fun with BIOMORPH but it definitely doesn't live up to the dozen or so must-play indie Metroidvanias already out there. 🧬

CATO: Buttered Cat is such a silly game but it's also one of the best puzzle platformers you can play thanks to its very clever gameplay. 🧈

Although it can be maddeningly frustrating, Bearnard remains an enjoyable game; that is, if you're willing to really hone your aiming skills. 🏹
