Hollow Knight: Silksong manages to be a surprisingly great sequel to a title that was all-too difficult to follow up. If you're a fan of the series, you'll find no better way to feel back home than in this sequel, but newcomers should still stick to exploring Hallownest for their first venture.
Despite some disappointing design choices, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is a blast for anyone who loves constantly tinkering with their builds and isn't overly concerned with a compelling narrative.
Class of Heroes 3 Remaster has a lot to offer for those who love to min/max, but limited social options, a steep learning curve and a harsh difficulty hamper the initial experience.
Disney Illusion Island Starring Mickey and Friends is a fun, whimsical journey across Monoth that handles metroidvania surprisingly well. It's an easy recommendation, even if you're not a fan of Disney yourself.
Altheia: The Wrath of Aferi is a good game in spite of its issues. If you're interested, give it some time. You'll find a fun adventure at the end. If you don't, be ready for some jank.
Hell is Us is a game that offers something unique, but that same challenge might turn away a lot of players looking for something with a more streamlined experience.
Fantastic art direction can't save Cronos: The New Dawn from its boring gameplay, and awkward story.
Bad Cheese stands out thanks to its visuals and the world it builds, which is only enhanced by the gameplay. However, a couple of technical issues hold it back from being a perfect experience.
The Knightling is a wholesome and beautiful action platformer that hearkens back to the PlayStation 2 era. Great humour, amazing movement controls, and fun combat make this a title you won't want to miss, though there is still room for a few QoL updates and patches.
I do like Fresh Tracks. The gameplay is snappy and intuitive, the voice acting and lore are great, and each track is a serious bop, but I'm not exactly feeling the roguelike nature of the game.
A beautifully designed title with an engaging narrative, Heading Out is definitely a journey worth experiencing.
EDENS ZERO is an addictive adaptation that will get you hooked on the story, even if you haven't read it yet. If you look past the fanservice and repetitive combat, you'll find a real gem of a storyline here.
Shuten Order is a great-looking game with a compelling story that you can't wait to finish. I couldn't wait to solve the mystery behind my character's death!
Space Adventure Cobra - The Awakening is a fun action platforming game that does a great job of recreating the original series that everyone can enjoy.
Deadzone: Rogue was worth the wait. It has an addictive gameplay loop that will keep you coming back even after you die again and again, and there's always something new to upgrade or check out with every attempt.
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is a beautiful-looking game that feels like a great addition to the series. It is challenging and full of non-stop ninja action.
Story of Season: Grand Bazaar is such a sweet and whimsical game that has you farming, cooking, and running a booth at the bazaar. You will be addicted!
A practically flawless remake of an already incredible title, METAL GEAR SOLID Δ should be on your radar.
I enjoyed The RPG, but I won't be coming back to it. It has some good moments and jokes and I enjoyed the gameplay well enough, but its glitches and game design issues make it a slog to play.
The Dark Queen of Mortholme is a game unlike any other I've played. It has a great story and a loop system that kept me coming back until I got to the end.
