The 10th Anniversary version of Q.U.B.E. is ideal for the people that played the original and wants to see a new side of the game with the Director's Cut content. Using queues we saw in Portal and it's sequel, is definitely a noteworthy game although narrative issues might bring the experience down if you want a more conclusive story.

Strayed Lights is one of those small but curious games. The game leans into the parrying mechanic you might find in a soulslike and centers around it creating a great gameplay loop that might be a little bit short for some people, but is worth the experience.

LUNARK is a solid reminder of how interesting and creative were the Cinematic Platformers and even with the downsides of the genre, Johan Vinet and Canari Games crafted a fantastic game and definitely one worth checking out.

Curse of the Sea Rats is one of those games with a lot of good ideas, but its execution leaves a lot to be desired. The characters and its fight styles are pretty good but the map and navigation across the whole game is definitely not that good.

Ravenlok is a game with a predictive narrative and protagonist that is not as charismatic as the rest of the cast, but is a short and enjoyable experience with solid combat and a quite striking visual flair. The puzzles might be a little more intuitive but is a fun game you should play if you want something easy going.

TRON Identity reduces the franchise in a game without disk battles like TRON Evolution, but it focuses in a deep story about the Grid and more on replayability. Even if the game was short, I was quite eager to see what could change in every run if I chose differently.

Meet Your Maker is a great mix between Base Building and an Action Roguelike, the game does used the ideas to the fullest but the content can feel stale after a while. Is pretty common to see some fantastic (and tricky) bases but the gadgets and weapons part leaves a big hole that can't be filled only with the building part.

Hi-Fi Rush is just impressive. Not only coming of a studio that focuses on Terror, but also for showing us a new IP in a way different genre we would expect from Tango. The game have a lot of heart and is visually stunning, its accessibility features are great for people that isn't good for Rhythm games or just wanna have a breezy time.

LEAP is a game that has good foundations, but the rest of the game leaves a lot to be desired. The game modes are interesting but the slow progression and inability to change class during a mission, definitely make it feel like a lesser FPS although the movement mechanics is quite interesting even if is not that great as you might find in Apex Legends or a Titanfall game.

Planet Cube: Edge is a good game, but some design issues hold the game back. The aesthetic is there and definitely some fans of harder games like Super Meat Boy, VVVVVVV, Celeste, The End is Nigh and more might give it a chance, but it feels that might be too aggressive for a casual gamer.

Scars Above is a game that have a lot of ideas but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. The game feels like a lesser version of Returnal with pacing and animation problems, that being said the game does have some neat concepts (specially the combined damage), but it doesn't get the time it deserves and feels a little bit undercooked.

For veterans, Engage can feel like a step back specially after how good Three Houses was, but Intelligent Systems definitely tried to appeal to casuals and veterans with some hits and some misses. Still, Engage is a fantastic strategy game for both audiences and a great Fire Emblem game.

Dead Space is a fantastic remake. Not only respects what made the original so beloved, but also improves the game in different ways taking into account the improvements from its sequels and mechanics we see in 2023. This is the best version whether you're revisiting the game or playing it for the first time.

Wanted: Dead is a game filled with good ideas but none of them feel as good as it should. The game definitely can be in the "So bad is good" pile (and it kinda is), but also feels like a more polished Devil's Third, a sequel could solve a lot of problems but ultimately is kind of a PS2/Xbox game released in 2023.

Fashion Police Squad is a fantastic and different idea for an FPS. The game feels quite fresh with the idea of fashion and even if the story is formulaic, can feel quite fun. The problem? The part of using specific guns with specific enemies hurt the pacing of the gameplay.

Wave Break is a title with great ideas, but it's execution leaves a lot to be desired. What it could felt like a fun and a little violent version of Pro Skater, ends up being quite frustrating due to its controller and some design decisions.

If you loved the Battle for Bikini Bottom Re-Hydrated, The Cosmic Shake is a great game. Not only Purple Lamp improves what make the remake great but also builds new mechanics without feeling like a copy. That being said, some of this mechanics need to be polished because they feel a little bit outdated.

Lil Gator Game is just fantastic. A game about growing up with a cutesy coat of paint, show us how our priorities change when we grow up and with a innocent look remind us that sometimes... we just need to relax a little bit.

Lone Ruin takes a lot of what made Hades great, although it's level design misses a lot of marks and makes the flow of combat a little stale. If you're looking for a shot experience and you're a Hades fan, this is definitely a game you should check out.

Mortal Shell is a straight forward souls and the game definitely is great for fans of the genre that are looking for a classic Souls experience. Unfortunately the Switch is definitely not the best place to experience the game, if that's your only platform might be ok but if you have a PS5 or Series S|X there you'll find a better game experience.
