Jumanji: The Curse Returns isn't a broken game; it just felt overly repetitive, short, and not very fun. It's too bad that it didn't make the game require more strategy because it could have been much more intriguing.
Super UFO Fighter is an adorable, crane game-like experience that is incredibly addictive and fun to play with others locally or online. Easy to learn and fun to fill your museum's item catalogue with all the capsule treasures you find!
Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium once again delivers the experience of visiting an arcade with tons of great titles; this collection is sure to be a good time.
Wonder Boy Collection is a fun group of titles for people who love classic games. The ability to rewind when you die or get hit is helpful to make progress in titles like Wonder Boy, which are known for their difficulty!
Krut: The Mythic Wings is an alright game but fails to do anything new and feels incredibly repetitive after a while.
Everything in Stray works together so well; the characters, the story, and being a cat is so realistic and fun that it is so rewarding. I can't recommend this game enough; it is my game of the year for 2022 meow!
Mothmen 1966 is a unique-looking and suspenseful visual novel that lets the players make decisions that will affect the story's outcome and what will happen to this cast of characters.
Capcom Fighting Collection is a must-buy title for fans of 2D fighting games or the arcade experience. It will keep you busy for a long time with so many games and challenges to complete!
Freshly Frosted is a satisfying and charming puzzle game that has you putting frosting and decorations on doughnuts to deliver to hungry customers. With great music and visuals, and challenging puzzles this game really is a treat!
Redout 2 is a beautiful-looking, anti-gravity racing game that has you driving at ridiculously fast speeds. This difficulty level is pretty high, but if you are willing to practise and hone your skills you will definitely be rewarded.
Sonic Origins looks and sounds great, but doesn't add extra perks like the ability to rewind or save states that would help lower the difficulty. The ability to play as Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles in each of the games is a nice touch.
Souldiers is a must-play title for anyone who loves Metroidvania-style games with RPG and platforming elements thrown in. Despite a few hiccups at launch, v1.1.1 addresses all the issues, making this gorgeous-looking and -sounding game one you shouldn't miss!
Cuphead in The Delicious Last Course is a must-play for people who enjoyed the original game. If you found Cuphead too challenging, then chances are you will still find it pretty hard even with the inclusion of Ms. Chalice and her special abilities.
TEN - Ten Rooms, Ten Seconds is a precision platforming title that is very challenging! Surviving for 10 seconds in a room may sound easy, but man it feels like forever when bullets and saw blades are flying at you!
Ultra Age is a fun third-person action game that has a great combat system, interesting story, and great dialogue between the main character and his cyborg buddy. If you like NieR or Devil May Cry this is a great title for a good price.
Starship Troopers: Terran Command is a great real-time strategy game that has you leading your troops to victory against the arachnid alien forces trying to take over the galaxy. The multiple difficulty settings make it accessible to anyone who wants to destroy bugs!
Keplerth is a great 2D survival game that is so deep and has so much to do it will keep you busy for a long time! I just wish it had a little more direction at times, but either way, exploring and figuring things out yourself is so addictive!
