Touhou Spell Carnival does a decent job blending RPG mechanics into the bullet-hell formula of Touhou Project. It can get overwhelming with everything on screen and having to protect five characters.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is the best way to play Dragon Quest III. It looks beautiful, sounds amazing, and is an extremely satisfying game to complete.
Tetris Forever used a time travel theme to send you back into the past 40 years of the franchise; however, if you grew up playing Tetris in the West, you won't find the titles you're familiar with. Japanese versions of the games here are abundant and very fun but there are some duplicates which showed laziness in the selection.
Card-en-Ciel is a fun dungeon-crawling deck-building roguelite that will provide hours of addictive gameplay that is easy to pick up and learn. While the system seems in-depth and daunting, its thoughtful design appeals to gamers or any skill level.
Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is a beauty of a game. It has a lot of cozy elements but also very basic ones.
Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep A Fragmentary Passage is a nice prologue to KH3, while tying up certain loose ends… kind of. If you want to see more Aqua and have a nice quick journey, you'll enjoy this before jumping into the next main game.
Metal Slug Tactics takes SNK's iconic 2D side-scrolling run-and-gun shooter and transforms it into a 3D tactical RPG with roguelite elements that work better than expected. The game shows plenty of love for the Metal Slug series, featuring fantastic artwork, fluid animations, and engaging gameplay mechanics.
With satisfying and story-related puzzle and genuine chills, Fear the Spotlight delivers a top-notch, bite-sized, lo-fi horror experience. Contrary to its title, it steps into the spotlight as the best indie horror game of the year.
Slitterhead is a fun and satisfying horror combat game. It has a lot of variety in designs with plot twists that will keep you guessing after each chapter.
Though not as exciting or inventive as the previous Alan Wake 2 DLC, The Lake House does a solid job of connecting Alan Wake and Control together while offering a fairly creepy if somewhat generic survival horror experience.
Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the complete package, a great single-player campaign, best in class first-person shooter gameplay, fun fast-paced multiplayer and the return of round-based zombies.
Farmagia is a unique cross between a farming simulator and monster battling. The art and world are fun to be in and explore, though I wish you could explore it more and less of the mazes.
Crow Country "caws" back to old-school horror games from the PS1-era, preserving what made them suspenseful and engaging while adding some updates. Not all of these work, but enough do, making a trip to Crow Country worth taking for fans of retro survival horror games.
Gorgeous visuals and an ethereal soundtrack invite players into the world of Neva. Yet these welcoming aesthetics are just the floral display surrounding a game with fast-paced combat, inventive platforming, and a touching story of the bond between warrior and wolf.
Life Is Strange: Double Exposure is a must play for any long-time fans, but it’s unlikely to interest those who haven’t enjoyed the previous entries in the series.
Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is a pretty fun and entertaining multiplayer game for fans of the series. Sadly the appeal doesn’t reach farther than that.
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven shows the SaGa series at its best. It may be a remake but it is one with a lot of love for the series.
Super Mario Party Jamboree continues the great trend that the past two Switch titles in the series started, and the new modes help make it stand out from the rest. It's not perfect, but there are plenty of ways to kill time and have fun with friends or online rivals while you play.
Squirrel with a Gun is one of those games which is a streamer's dream. A lot of references to other media can be found around every corner, there is a challenge in the level design, and the guns are a lot of fun. However, with no objective marker or quest log, you do spend far too much time wandering around looking for fun instead of having fun, some of the level designs become frustrating to have to do the same thing over and over in order to get to a single objective, only to fall off something and have to climb forever all over again.
New World: Aeternum is a reboot of the original game on the PC, and with it comes several interesting additions, and updates, which are sure to entice current PC players who always wanted to play New World on a console. It's a solid experience playing solo, but the meat is the MMO experience, which is going to carry the game well past the single-player experience.
