Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is a phenomenal remaster of the original trilogy, with enough changes to not only feel fresh, but with enough quality-of-life improvements to truly call this the definitive way to play the Mass Effect trilogy.
Archvale is just plain fun. It does what it does well, and as a bullet hell provides a serious challenge without feeling unfair. I cannot recommend this game enough.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human is a great sequel to a pretty good game. With fun traversal mechanics, combat encounters, and agonising choices in the story, it could be very much worth the playtime.
Digimon Survive has both a well-made story and a deep combat system that will engage players through each route they may take, but the first few hours are ill-paced with long breaks away from combat.
Blue Reflection: Second Light is a relaxing RPG with great combat and characters that will pull you through to the ending.
Wall World is a great roguelite with an interesting concept that keeps you engaged with constant upgrades, ever-changing options, and an addicting gameplay loop.
God of Rock successfully combines rhythm and fighting game elements into a great game that is sure to make an audience cheer.
ArcRunner is a great roguelite and shooter, with style and substance to keep you coming back for more.
Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory is a great rhythm game that is sure to be enjoyed by newcomers and veteran players of the genre. However, if you're buying it for the story you should probably skip this. This isn't the Kairi game fans have been pining for since the Re:Mind DLC.
NEO: The World Ends With You is an excellent RPG that satisfies fans wanting more, or newcomers who want a unique experience from their games. However, there are some annoying points where it could worsen your experience.
Motorcycle Mechanic Simulator 2021 is a surprisingly calming game that teaches you more about motorcycles, with deep customisation and attention to detail that could make you lose hours of your life.
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is a great expansion to an already good game. You'll appreciate all the changes and new features added, but it won't give you a challenge until much later.
Midnight Fight Express is a short and brutal fight that doesn't overstay its welcome. You'll definitely come out of it with more than a few scrapes, but it's all worth it just to watch the sun rise at the end.
High On Life is a fun and humorous FPS that, while not innovating on the genre, is a joy to play all throughout its main story. However, it lacks a little technical polish and optional goals.
Masterplan Tycoon is a relaxing resource management sim that only gives you the essentials, and it's up to you to make it as big and complex as you want it to be.
Indies' Lies is a great game for those who want to get into roguelike deck building games, while veterans of the genre will find the ability to better control their build a nice feature to experiment with, without sacrificing the fun of RNG.
SokoChess White is an excellent puzzle game to test yourself, even without playing against an opponent.
Roots of Pacha is a refreshing take on the farming/life sim genre, with great ideas and features. However, there are little annoyances that might turn off some.
Kardboard Kings is a surprisingly active business management simulator that kept me entertained throughout my time with the game. However, it ends too early and there isn't much to do afterwards other than collecting cards.
Temtem is definitely worth getting for something different, yet familiar. It's worth the price of admission, but that's all you should spend on it.
