A unique narrative adventure, Grotto is visually striking and full of magical charm, but a lack of definitive choices may put some players off this intriguing tale.
Kingsvein has some interesting concepts with a novel levelling and class system, but its difficulty and lack of explanation might turn some off.
Shanghai Summer has an enjoyable story that kept me intrigued and will be a sure hit for fans of Erased or Your Name. However, there are some minor issues that may detract some players, such as grammar and some minor graphical issues.
Lil' Guardsman is a cute yet hilarious point-and-click adventure with a surprisingly deep story. No level is the same, and it has a lot of heart, making it perfect for anyone wanting to have a laugh.
Crystal Story: Dawn of Dusk is an interesting game, but there are little things that may frustrate players. As the first of an episodic series, it feels a little bit expensive, especially for the number of hours you get out of it.
Although the updated visuals are a welcome addition, the modern controls are poorly implemented. However, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is an absolute must-buy for fans of Lara's original adventures.
Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is astounding, and the way it tells a compelling story and connects you to the characters is really impressive. It's impossible not to recommend this masterpiece of a game.
Without a load of graphical bells and whistles in the way, there's a clarity and streamlined nature to the game that lets the dynamic world and combat system leap to the fore. Give this one a try, you won't regret it.
While it's better than it could have been, it also could have been much more. As a live service game with an unfinished main story, I wouldn't feel bad about waiting for more content to drop over the coming months before you pick it up.
Witch's Rhythm Puzzle is a fun rhythm game with a silly story and entertaining music to time your block placement along with. If you like Ecchi-style games, this is going to be a title to check out!
DREAMERS is well-suited for anyone of any age who just wants to kick back and enjoy a light-hearted puzzle adventure. Just be prepared for a good amount of backtracking!
Card Survivors isn't bad, but it should've been so much more. It's better as a mobile game than something you'd play on PC.
Although lacking single-player content, UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes is still a deeply rewarding fighter with a lot of mechanics to learn. Multiplayer fans will have an absolute blast with this one!
Computer Repair Shop is a work simulator with boring gameplay and some optimisation issues that aren't at all justified based on how the game looks.
Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior uses a unique gameplay mechanic that has you working with clones of yourself to take down the foes that stand in your way. A compelling story and addictive gameplay make this a must-play title!
Saga of the Moon Princess is an interesting title, clearly inspired by classics like Link to the Past, but unfortunately, it is buggy, and the lack of direction makes it frustrating at times.
Atlas Wept should be given more love and attention with its fun gameplay and great story. Don't be afraid to give it a whirl, you'll never know what its world has to offer.
Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem isn't too much about the mayhem and the speed and more about building the tracks and hitting good curbs. Still, it's worth checking out for its graphics and interesting puzzle elements!
A great cast of characters let down by a fairly unengaging narrative, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is still a superb RPG packed with content. Grab your friends, it's time to go adventuring in the skies!
Hard to recommend for non-fans, but if you've read the manga or watched the anime, you'll want to experience this. If you can get past the control scheme, that is.
