The charm and top-notch comedic writing shine bright despite the hollow combat and repetition.
An unapologetically cinematic descent into the darkest parts of the human mind, Indika is a unique and crunchy little experiment that comes alive in its ideas and tone if not always its gameplay.
POOLS is an impressively immersive and harrowing trudge through waters that threaten to drown you in its high fidelity, unsettling take on the limenal space horror genre.
Paper Trail is a neat bit of puzzling whimsy with a unique folding mechanic and thoughtful design that hides just the right amount of difficulty beneath its beautiful exterior.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is an achievement in visual fidelity but fails to define itself amid clumsy retreads and unengaging new ideas.
David Lynch would be proud of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. It's wild, clever and compelling in the best of ways, absurd in its visual style and challenging in its puzzles. Do not let this one pass you by.
Little Kitty, Big City is paw-sitively dripping with the kind of honest charm that can only manifest in a title that was clearly beloved by every person making it. A delightful feline snack that easily excuses any of its rough edges by way of being so fur-ociously fun and wholesome.
Nothing else hits that adrenaline button quite like slow-walking through hostile territory with your squad formed in a tight conga line.
Sand Land manages the tough task of translating an enjoyable story without overdoing the open-world mechanics in the process. It's rough in places but is a respectful adaptation of Toriyama's work and a pleasant experience throughout.
Stellar Blade's remarkable core combat and overwhelming commitment to style carries the weight of its uneven exploration and muddled narrative.
Harold Halibut's amazingly hand-crafted stop-motion visuals buckle under the weight of the game's repetitive and shallow gameplay and drawn out runtime.
As a fan of the Turtle's arcade roots, I'd happily recommend TMNT Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants for a run or two, but despite the new levels the lack of online support and barebones presentation spoils this pizza party.
Tales of Kenzera: ZAU infuses the action platformer with earnest, emotional storytelling and a vibrant, compelling world to explore.
MLB The Show 24 loads its bases with plenty of options for beginners and veterans while exploring a legacy that should be played by all. It's the best licensed sports title on the market, and there's no close second.
Broken Roads is a gorgeous Aussie world undone by incurious writing, ambitious but poorly implemented ideas, and unstable performance issues.
There is a fundamentally good, core Darkest Dungeon-like experience somewhere underneath this rushed, languid, and poorly executed turn-based rogue-lite.
A literal bang-or-bust experience, Buckshot Roulette has that it-factor that combines a snappy gameplay loop with a stunningly low bar for entry that will keep you coming back for more.
This unexpected sequel consistently delivers the most thrilling and hilarious player-driven adventuring anecdotes in what may be Capcom's greatest-ever roleplaying game.
An engaging cast drives this short but ultimately sweet journey down a well-worn emotional road, though the chance to spend more time with Tess and Opal Devine on some detours would have been welcome.
Clearly an object of passion, Bears In Space is far more than a vehicle to deliver endless skits and gags. It's a more than competent shooter that has been painstakingly put together to reflect the joy felt by individuals who clearly love classic gaming, oddball entertainment and most importantly – having fun.
