Short and extremely easy, Kao the Kangaroo won't win over anyone that isn't itching for a new 3D platformer. But it's still fairly enjoyable and a solid way to spend a few hours for anyone looking for a collection-based throwback.
Between its strong and compelling gameplay loop and obvious love of the source material, Evil Dead: The Game is a welcome addition to the asymmetric horror pantheon.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is a prequel to Hundred Heroes set in the same world, and is a solid action RPG. But its tedious nature makes it hard to enjoy in the long run.
Visually excellent but extremely short and packed with repetitive, clunky sword fights, Trek to Yomi doesn't hit all the right notes.
Tape: Unveil the Memories has compelling elements, but they're overshadowed by some truly bad mechanics and dull monster encounters.
Sephonie is an outstanding 3D platformer that's weakened some by overly verbose, and often heavy-handed story-telling.
Packed with content and fun gameplay, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has something to offer most fans of the long-running sci-fi franchise.
Captivating and highly entertaining despite how limited and aggravating the combat can be, Ghostwire: Tokyo is stays appealing thanks to its strong open world and dedication to spirit exorcism.
Visually wondrous and full of logical, fair puzzles and likable characters, this is a worthy entry in the series, despite a jarring conclusion and some rather poor performance.
Relaxing and lovely, Submerged: Hidden Depth doesn't have much in the way of gameplay, but it's still a nice experience for anyone who wants to explore its sunken world.
Gorgeous and aided by satisfying combat mechanics, Young Souls is damaged by inconsistent difficulty, balance issues, bugs, and cheap boss encounters.
Although it has enjoyable movement and a solid story, Aztech Forgotten Gods feels like a shell of a game that's been stitched together.
Babylon's Fall has fast, flashy combat and a generally enjoyable structure, but is packed with issues, ranging from its limited co-op function to live service elements, which appear to have sealed its fate.
Carrying a decent amount of extra content with an enjoyable new character, Project_Hel makes Ghostrunner worth returning to for fans eager for more.
Pretty, action-packed, and fun while it lasts, Shadow Warrior 3 is well made as long as there isn't any dialogue, but there's so little content that the price tag makes it truly hard to recommend.
Intriguing and often disturbing, Martha is Dead makes for a worthwhile narrative experience, barring some issues.
Not very lengthy, but bolstered by strong level design and tight controls, Infernax is a worthwhile experience.
While there's nothing particularly meaty or mindblowing about the experience and it's very easy, Luminous Avenger iX 2 is another enjoyable entry in the series.
Cute, but featuring far too high of a price tag to justify the amount of content it includes.
Deep, attractive, and highly playable, Windjammers 2 is still missing some of what it needs to really shine. Plus the online is currently on the fritz.
