Air Twister is a fun adventure to go through once, but fending off an alien invasion more than that feels more like a chore. At least you can ride a giant swan for a short time.
TEVI is a delightful, 2D pixel adventure that makes exploring and boss fights a challenge and fun at the same time. While the dialogue goes on too long, it’s a game you want to add to your gaming library.
Disgaea 7 is one of the best of the series, and it will hook you in and keep you playing for countless hours. As Pirilika would say, the new features mixed with a traditional Japanese style adds extra seasoning to the Disgaea series, resulting in a delicious miso soup of fun. In short, Disgaea 7 will keep bringing you back for more. Dig in!

God of Rock is an interesting mix of rhythm and fighting styles but it feels quite difficult to handle both styles. Outside of the Arcade Mode and Level Editor, there’s not much left as the online matches feel scarce.
LIVE A LIVE is downright fun for RPG fans. Each chapter is uniquely different, the characters are interesting, and the soundtrack is energetic. The map system may be too experimental, though. Still, it’s a satisfying adventure to enjoy over and over again.

Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society will eat away hours of your time with its unique gameplay.

From one puppet to another, it’s well worth a trip to the labyrinth, even if you lose a limb or two.
NeoGeo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 2 has a few interesting titles but as a whole, there’s not enough to satisfy that price tag. You’re better off purchasing some of these titles separately and still spend less.
The Knight Witch has a great mixture of gameplay styles and a fulfilling soundtrack that players will want to explore from top to bottom. While it has some technical issues, it doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy this special indie title.
