Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes - Definitive Edition is a belter of a puzzle game, with a lengthy campaign full of clever ideas.
Let's Revolution! uses the mechanics we all know from Minesweeper to create a thoughtful Roguelike puzzle game unlike anything else.
Playing Dead Man's Diary is simply a tedious experience, and unless you have an invisible wall fetish you should stay well away.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie is a game that long term fans of the series will love, but newcomers need not apply.
Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg provides a nice RPG history lesson, but the combat and alchemy feel pretty outdated.
Jack Jeanne is a sensational visual novel full of singing, dancing and drama. If you like rhythm games and hunky boys then you're in for a treat.

Whether you're diving into the depths or managing a sushi restaurant, Dave the Diver is full of ideas and engaging from start to finish.
Charade Maniacs is an engaging visual novel with a rather sinister story, but it just doesn't let you make enough decisions while you play.

We Love Katamari Reroll+ Royal Reverie is my new favourite Katamari game, with varied stages and a whole lot of wacky charm.
I expected to love Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer, but the teen humour is painful and the shooting is just okay.
Chronicles of 2 Heroes: Amaterasu's Wrath has some great ideas and tasty platforming, but the difficulty will put some people off.
With wonderful locomotion and loads of cool abilities to unlock, Doomblade is a Metroidvania unlike any other that is well worth playing.
Tales of Vogar - Lost Descendants doesn't rock the boat, but if you want to play an old school RPG with an engaging story you could do worse.
