Parents do not buy Beyond: Two Souls for your children and youth. It is also not for adults who have strong moral standards and who have any conditions of mental health wellness.
Conan Exiles is one of the more polished survival games out there. The exploration and flow of combat is some of the best in the genre too. I just wish I had more personality to make it stand out from the rest.
Secret of Mana was a groundbreaking game in the 90's. But considering the advances even in top-down RPGs in the recent years, the game had so much potential. What has been made feels like a quick cash grab that seems to lose the appeal of a port and disappoints, as a remake. This is definitely a game to wait for a drop in price, or spend a little more money on an SNES classic and enjoy the original alongside more titles.
Despite it being short, Fox n Forests is a great callback to the games of our childhood. With classic 16-bit gameplay and detail you can see, I highly recommend this game.
Yoku's Island Express is a wondrous adventure that blends the Metroidvania genre and pinball in a satisfying way. This is one title to keep your eye on, even for those thinking that pinball is not for them as it certainly won me over.
Azure Reflections is a fun SHMUP that allows players of all skill levels to get a taste of the action while offering quite a few unlockables and customization options. It has a weak story and the campaign will be over quick, so staying power may be an issue for some players. There's something undeniably euphoric about nailing a difficult fight or watching others maneuver through the chaos.
Antigraviator is the kind of game that does not necessarily do anything new, but happens to perform all the old tricks that one would come to expect from an anti-grav racer with aplomb.
wipEout remains the most renowned of futuristic racers, delivering AAA-tier visuals and similar gameplay. Yet time will tell how much pedigree alone will suffice in the stead of innovation.
Lake Ridden has the potential to be one of the best games in the puzzle adventure genre. The visuals and soundtrack are spectacular. The puzzles are fun and challenging. Though game needs a bit more polish to fully realize it's potential, Midnight Hub has created a gaming experience that is worth the price of admission for fans of the genre.
Aragami upholds the expectations of the now-retro franchise from which it was inspired, but struggles to exceed them.
Reverie is a charming little indie title that you can tell a lot of love was put into. There is fun to be had exploring the island with the pop-culture references and narrative threads based on interesting New Zealand folklore. Even with the generic combat and short length, Reverie is a title any gamer should enjoy in some capacity.
Juicy realm is a fun and inventive concept for a game, albeit one that might make a scientist cry. Unfortunately this clever idea is implemented with uncreative game design which makes it difficult to come back after one play through.
Raging Justice a decent game for refreshing memories of the beat 'em up, but offers little depth in the long run.
An well-done simulation of a tabletop card-drafting game, Cultist Simulator can draw you in, and without realizing it, minutes or hours will have gone by. Its subject matter and large amount of reading will be a downside for some, but if you enjoy games set in H.P. Lovecraft-ian worlds, you will enjoy this game a lot.
Happy Birthdays is a neat sort of simulation God game where you terraform land to help control the world's temperature, moisture, and more. Watching life grow and flourish based on your actions is peaceful and discovering new creations that evolve over time is fun. It makes a great game anyone could pick up and enjoy, and it's easy to find that you've lost several hours to it quickly.
While Ubisoft's FPS formula is beginning to show its age with gameplay and mechanics that are too familiar for comfort, encasing the package with an exigent theme such as religious zealotry makes all things (seem like) new.
Tower of Time is a tower of fun, which uses both gameplay and story to entertain for hours. Whether it's discovering the secrets of the Tower or fighting bad guys, a lot of love and attention has been given to both.
Omensight is a solid title that is a progression from the developers first game Stories: The Path of Destinies. While it can get repetitive going through the same areas multiples times, the combat and story are where Omensight shine.
Shadow Bug is a clever platformer that delivers in providing a short and exhilarating experience. While the controls may never feel just right, at its price point, Shadow Bug is a title that anyone who likes playing fun games should enjoy.
With a wide array of customization options and modes, AO International Tennis had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, buggy gameplay mechanics drag down what could've been a fantastic sports game.
