X-Out: Resurfaced is one of the easiest shoot 'em ups that I've ever played but its ship customisation is so fun that it's still a solid game. 🛸
Smashing your opponent around destructible stages can be quite entertaining but this quick-time-based brawlfest doesn't have much longevity. 👊
With explosive combat, rewarding exploration, and old-school lighthearted vibes, there's a lot to love about METAL SUITS: Counter-attack. 🤖
Destructure: Among Debris is an incredibly fun and challenging brick-breaker that unfortunately suffers from some truly irritating bugs. 💥
I love indies that offer hilarity and Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip is one such game that'll have you laughing so much that your face will catch fire. 🚕
Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is a great Metroidvania that nails the basics of the genre while offering an unforgettably stylish world. 🌝
Panel de Pon games don't get much better than Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To which will have you gaily tapping your toes for hours. ❤️
It may be a unique game and strategising can be fun but the randomness of Luck be a Landlord makes it more mindless than it could be. 🎰
With a more gameplay-focused and varied campaign as well as a phenomenally unforgettable cast of stand-out characters, The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II really scratched a lot of itches for me that I didn't even know I had. Or was that Nadia's needles? ⚔️
It's true that MACROSS -Shooting Insight- is very been-there-done-that but at the same time, the sense of variety when it comes to both its gameplay and its stellar soundtrack make it an overall enjoyable experience. 👩🎤
Under Defeat is such a challenging explosion-filled shoot 'em up that it's hard to put it down, especially with its distinct modes and helicopters to pilot. Throw in flashy visuals and a great soundtrack and you have one radical arcade shooter. 🚁

Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders presents a superb follow-up that makes hugging each corner and landing jumps an absolute joy. ⛷️
Indie shooters don't get much more stylish than Cycle Chaser H-5 and its gameplay is impressively entertaining in all its franticness. 👾
Popotinho's Adventures isn't the worst platformer I've ever played but it's certainly far below the level of quality that one would expect. 🥔
There are so many awesome twin-stick shooters out there that playing The Legend of Cyber Cowboy frankly feels insulting. 🤠
