Hellboy Web of Wyrd is a genuinely enjoyable action title, but its lack of difficulty makes it challenging to recommend binging through it, as it starts becoming monotonous a few hours in.
Par for the Dungeon is a simple, easy, and casual mini-golf title that I enjoyed more than I ever expected. If you're new to the genre and want to branch out, it's definitely a great title, but it might be less so for veterans.
Lords of the Fallen feels like a passionless soulslike, relying on the same old tricks to make its experience "difficult" all the while failing to lean on its most innovative ideas.
Bang-On Balls: Chronicles is a true return to classic collect-a-thons, there is just too much to do. Complete the quests, get cosmetics, gather collectibles, get cosmetics, destroy the world, get cosmetics... and then look good while doing it, too.
Death Unphased is an especially great precision platformer for hardcore fans of the genre who are looking for a challenge, but for the more casual crowd, the skill ceiling might be too high to truly enjoy.
Take control of Dracula and delve into the nine circles of Hell as you reclaim the throne for its rightful owner in CASTILLO: The Nine Circles, an enjoyable and unique combination of genres.
Running around wreaking havoc and creating chaos in Pizza Possum is enjoyable, though I do wish that the world had been slightly bigger, as finishing it all in just a few hours left me wanting for more way too soon.
If you like Super Adventure Hand's humour and love platforming, you might as well get hands-on with this one and pick it up - you'll have 50 handcrafted levels to go through and plenty of fun to be ha(n)d.
Boti: Byteland Overclocked is an enjoyable and simple retro-inspired platformer with plenty of collect-a-thon features that are all too welcome. But it's only an enjoyable experience when it works, and after level three, it's a coin flip on whether it does.
Despite some frustrations and hiccups in my experience, I cherish Lies of P out the other side. The bosses were infuriating but fun, and if anything, it left me wanting - nay, itching - to click the NG+ button.
If you don't mind the relatively ugly graphics at times and are interested in trying out a boomer shooter that encourages a bit more strategy, then SPRAWL might just be the perfect title for you.
Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara is a very enjoyable speedrun-focused platformer with plenty of collectibles and genre clichés. It isn't revolutionary to platformers, and it runs very short, but if you don't mind the price tag, it's well worth a try.
I loved Hammerwatch II's fighting and gameplay, but the lacklustre narrative, unrewarding sidequests, and uninformative quests and world traversal leave much to be desired.
Atlas Fallen has a great premise with pretty enjoyable old-school combat when it works. Frustrating and unreliable mechanics might be a bit of a hindrance, but it works great as a gameplay-heavy title to pick up and play.
Disjointed storytelling and the dull protagonist aside, the Komorebi narrative and characters engrossed me in a way that I will genuinely miss the world that I delved into in my 20-hour playthrough.
Take control of Run and Jump and explore various worlds of colour with precision platforming and post-game challenges that will prove to be extremely challenging and just as fun.
Take control of Ekko and roam the streets of Zaun to unravel a mystery about Syntixi in this great metroidvania title! Great combat and platforming make this an easy recommendation.
Take control of Harmony, meet a pantheon of unique deities, and unravel a narrative of two opposing worlds clashing with one another with a unique future-seeing system that'll have you yearning for a second playthrough.
This is 189.16, The Scream, I am Forrest Nash, and I sincerely recommend you pick up this title! Simple puzzles and hilarious dialogue mean just about anyone should tune in to Killer Frequency.
Short and concise, Return to Grace tells a great story with a thought-provoking ending I quite enjoyed.
