Italian developer 34BigThings is shifting gears a bit with Redout: Space Assault. A prequel to 2016's spaceship racing game, we're now being treated to a (heavily) Star Fox-inspired experience. Strap in as a young pilot, fight the resistance, and blow your ship up a lot.
The humans are coming, the humans are coming! Join Skul, a diminutive skeleton in the Demon King’s army, and help drive off the armies of humans laying waste to your land. Don’t lose your head - or at least keep a spare handy just in case.
Find love (or sweet platonic companionship!) in Fujiwara Bittersweet, a free-to-play visual novel with the illustrated vibrancy to match. Join Aya as she navigates her first year of high school, where she'll meet both sweet and nasty people who will eventually become important in her daily life. No matter what you choose, you'll be rewarded.
Playing Colt Canyon feels like being at the centre of a classic western movie, but with one of the best roguelike loops in recent memory.

After years of anticipation, Cyberpunk 2077 has arrived. Offering a slew of missions, activities, and lore to explore within the breathtaking atmosphere of Night City. If you are a next-gen owner, you are lucky to experience this vast open world with a few technical issues along the way. However, outside of a few shortcomings, when the game shines, it shines bright. The amount of content, choices, and deep story building kept me moving forward. Night City offers more than what's on the surface, but is it worth exploring?
Introducing A Very Bad Christmas Eve, just in time for the holidays! Make presents as Santa's last hope to save Christmas, but do it fast; time is not on your side. This game has a cute premise and has charming music to go with it. However, it just didn't hit the mark for me. It left a sour taste in my mouth and definitely didn't put me in the Christmas spirit.
Combining Metroidvania with monster collecting seems like a match made in heaven when you think about it. That’s why, all those years ago, GameFreak and Creatures Inc did just that. Now, Monster Sanctuary comes along and barely improves on the template set by Pokémon Red & Green (& Blue [& Yellow]). While it definitely has its merits, it lacks a certain level of thought and care to set it apart from the average indie game.

A gaming classic returns! Space Invaders Forever brings three titles to Nintendo Switch with varying degrees of success. Our review covers the whole package, so get ready for a deep dive into those would-be alien overlords. They might not be successful.
When the Past was Around is a point and click puzzle game that succeeds in getting the player emotionally invested in its bittersweet tale of love and loss. Eda's tale of grief for a lost partner is wonderfully told in a way that affects you, but does the game succeed in keeping players interested throughout with its puzzle gameplay?
