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.
Ys X: Nordics showcases the impressive capabilities of the new engine developed by Nihon Falcom. Adol controls exceptionally well, and Karja adds depth to the roster of characters he encounters. Although the game starts off slowly, once you acquire all the necessary tools, it plays like a dream.
8-Bit Adventures 2 is a fantastic adventure JRPG featuring a fun story and plenty of content to keep you engaged. It captures the whimsy of older generations of games while presenting it with a modern 8-bit aesthetic.
Europa is a beautiful adventure, that combines simple puzzles with emotion-filled music and free-flowing traversal throughout a gorgeous landscape. It truly is a Journey like experience, I just wish it had leaned into that even more.
Sky Oceans: Wings For Hire has lots of potential but doesn't draw it all out of the game and its ideas and concepts. A lack of voice acting makes moments hit more hollow than they should. The gameplay becomes more repetitive the longer you play.
ASTRO Bot is a platforming masterpiece that encourages exploration of not only its own worlds and planets, but also those of Sony's long gone franchises as well. A celebration of Sony's 30 years in gaming with a joyful flare you'd expect to see from its console rival. Team ASOBI has created yet another wonderful adventure that places ASTRO front and center as Sony's mascot.
