An interesting concept with a mixed execution. Never Breakup has some fun puzzles and mechanics, but navigating the stages is made tricky thanks to imprecise controls and a top down perspective.
An enjoyable RPG with some pacing issues, Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris is a lot of fun once you get to grips with its combat and leveling systems. The decision to lock multiplayer behind 10 hours of content is baffling, but once you unlock it you'll have a good time exploring the MMO-like world with friends.
An unusual concept for a game with a mixed execution. The monotony of scheduling your daughter's life unfortunately overshadows the interesting story and fantastic art direction
A Star Names EOS is an enjoyable puzzle game with a cool photography theme, but a lack of hints and slightly nauseating story drag it down.

Thirsty Suitors is a wildly unique game that blends together a whole lot of genres, but too often it feels like a bit of a chore to play.

Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles might struggle to stand up to modern RPGs, but it's a thoroughly charming bit of gaming history.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has a lot of promise, but it'll need some updates before it can truly be called great.
Affogato combines a lot of interesting ideas, from Persona time management to coffee making, but there's a lack of things to do with your freetime.
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.
Sonic Origins Plus contains some cracking Sonic games, but the collection is somewhat lacking and the added content is average at best.
Beyond the Long Night is an entertaining twin stick roguelike, but the constant time pressure it provides won't appeal to everyone.
Little Witch Nobeta is a fun blend of shooting and Souls mechanics, but the Switch port has some framerate issues
Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society has some interesting ideas for a dungeon crawler, but is too complex for its own good.
