WRATH: Aeon of Ruin is a very fun time, but it's not for everyone. You'll find expansive levels and worthy challenges to conquer for those willing and ready to face what it offers.
Card Survivors isn't bad, but it should've been so much more. It's better as a mobile game than something you'd play on PC.
Atlas Wept should be given more love and attention with its fun gameplay and great story. Don't be afraid to give it a whirl, you'll never know what its world has to offer.
Super Retro BoxBot is a fine puzzle game. It has some really simple mechanics but uses them well in devious ways to make you work for your solutions.
Deadlink is an amazing cyberpunk-style roguelite that provides plenty of reasons to keep coming back.
Persona 5 Tactica is just as stylish and fun as any of the main series. While it does hit the same beats as other stories in the franchise, it's still a great time if you give it a try.
Bzzzt is definitely everything I want in a retro-style platformer. It's fun with great controls and music to make you keep going even after 100 deaths. I cannot recommend this game enough.
Cuisineer is an excellent culinary adventure full of cute characters, tasty dishes, and challenging goals to strive towards as you become unstoppable both out in the world and in the kitchen.
Asterix & Obelix: Heroes is a serviceable game for what it is but lacks the passion and impact needed to make it fun for more than a short play session.
Scene Investigators demands the attention of a real investigator, with the determination and knowledge to crack cases open. For the patient and studious, you'll be greatly rewarded for your efforts.
Dash & Swing may seem simple based on its title, but requires a lot of skill and practice to really master.
Wizard with a Gun is a great game for those who can endure the loop of looting and shooting.
Deadly Rain just doesn't do enough to separate itself from Call of Duty: Zombies. It's fine for what it is, but there isn't much incentive to buy this game.
Bilikin's Folly is a jolly adventure across the seas that makes treasure hunting fun, full of tricky puzzles and great characters, and the only time you'll get frustrated is from your own folly.
Moonstone Island is an excellent game that combines what I like from other games and improves on them. Whatever your path may be, it'll be a fun one.
Mirrored Souls uses its gimmick well for some really cool and fun puzzles, however, there were just some levels that didn't quite stick the landing for me.
Lifespace Traveler is a great cyberpunk adventure with easy-to-understand mechanics but tough challenges to conquer. You'll die a lot, but that just makes your victory all the more satisfying.
Knight Crawlers is a fine game that does what it wants well but has nothing else to offer in the long run.
Brain Show is definitely recommended for parties and gatherings. It's a fun and novel game, so pick it up if you need something to break the ice.
Park Beyond is a spectacle to behold with some great ideas, but the glitter and lights don't quite hide the shaky foundations that desperately need some repairs.
