Sea of Stars: Throes of the Watchmaker DLC is so well done and needs to be played. Besides the fact that it's free, I didn't want it to end!
Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny is a nostalgia hit for the ages, but it might struggle to tempt the new crowds.
PictoQuest is too complex for a newcomer to delve into and complete in one go, and too simple for veterans to find enough challenge in, but it offers a fantasy and RPG twist that's all too welcome in a tried-and-true puzzle that doesn't get explored enough at a price simply too good to pass up.
The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- is the perfect game for anime and strategy fans, but might leave those looking for a deeper RPG experience in the cold.
While I enjoy the characters and animation, BIOMORPH doesn't bring many new elements to the metroidvania genre. If you're looking for a new entry point, then BIOMORPH could be a great choice, but veterans may be left wanting more.
From all-time classics to underrated gems, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is robust enough to not only please avid Capcom fans but also newer players who want to experience some of the company's older games.
A lot of fun in a little, old package, just so long as you beware the bodily fluids.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a masterpiece from start to finish, a beautiful and deeply moving journey.
Wings of Endless is a great 2D platformer with RPG mechanics that looks great and has fun characters. Plus, who doesn't want to dress up an owl?
Puzzle Dazzle is a unique type of puzzle game, but with no accessibility options and similar colours, it's hard to tell them apart!
Blue Prince takes the roguelike formula, throws in DIY architecture, and manages to combine them to form a pretty impressive tale of intrigue and a very fun puzzler. The simple mechanics make a complex whole with great puzzles and reason to play run after run!
Revenge of the Savage Planet is an excellent, goo-filled adventure with plenty to do on your journey from being a hapless fool to a genuine space hero.
Drop Duchy feels like Tetris blended with a board game. You must be strategic with your placement - just clearing lines won't be enough to ensure your victory!
Shotgun Cop Man is just dumb fun, with a short yet excellently done campaign that feels satisfying to beat. What else do you need to have a good time?
Finding Frankie is a mostly fun parkour experience with interesting levels and enemies, but the clunky controls are hard to ignore in this movement-focused title, and the lack of horror won't satisfy those looking for their next scare.
A near-flawless title, with an utterly fantastic gameplay loop, art direction and variety.
Some minor technical issues aside, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is everything a fan of the series could ask for, whilst also giving newcomers the best version of the game.
As simulator games go, Pets Hotel isn't one I'd recommend. Too many repetitive jobs and lack of polish make this a chore to play.
Rise of the Ronin does a great job at combining combat and stealth, improved by a vast array of weapons to wield. The characters are memorable, as are the locations, showing off bakumatsu Japan. Regrettably, performance issues sour the experience.
If you're a fan of the first Monaco, this is better in every way. If you're not, you just might find that this heist title is right up your alley.
