Fall of Porcupine has a hard-hitting story beneath its wholesome veneer, with fun mini-games and memorable characters that are as cute as they are well-written.
Panic in Sweets Land is a side-scrolling beat 'em up that is bursting with cuteness and happy vibes. It's a game where you save characters using happy feelings stored in sweet treats! Constant button-mashing may feel repetitive after extended gaming sessions.
Grief Trigger has an interesting premise, but despite the personal story, there is very little substance.
Everdream Valley is a peaceful experience with a great sense of progression. It does have a few issues, but they can be overlooked for a fun farming simulator.
Blizzard Entertainment has risen a true epic from the fiery pits of hell itself while managing to avoid getting themselves burned. Diablo IV is a fantastic return to form that will enthral fans for years to come.
Set in a world that died, After Us is a great example of an industrial apocalypse story done correctly - standing strong in its story, visuals, and ambiance that breath new life into the genre.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is a poorly designed, bug-ridden, untested game that's only redeeming quality doesn't matter in the whole picture.
Blooming Business: Casino is an easy-to-understand tycoon game that doesn't really challenge you, but is a great way to waste time.
DOOMBLADE is a fast-paced metroidvania title that blends twin-stick shooter mechanics. With tons of enemies and challenging boss battles, it puts your skills to the test. If you enjoy games with minimal hand-holding, this is the perfect choice for you!
If you like stealth horror titles, 90s things, and alien games, you should definitely give Greyhill Incident a shot - just be warned, it runs quite short!
Bleak Sword DX is an excellent game with its easy-to-learn but hard-to-master gameplay. While things may look bleak, it is never hopeless.
Take control of Harmony, meet a pantheon of unique deities, and unravel a narrative of two opposing worlds clashing with one another with a unique future-seeing system that'll have you yearning for a second playthrough.
City of Beats is thoroughly recommended, with its fun gameplay that flows with the music you make. There are a few design decisions that made me raise my eyebrow, but it ultimately is an enjoyable experience.
As great as a hidden object title can get, Hidden Through Time is a simple recommendation for anyone that likes the genre, especially when taking into account the online maps, offering nearly endless replayability.
An intriguing exploratory puzzler that nails the aesthetic and the unnerving feeling of being alone. Some technical issues mar an otherwise great experience with a quirky, interesting story.
Gematombe is a new twist on the traditional brick-breaking game where you are bouncing a ball on a paddle to take out blocks. I never found it to be addictive like other puzzle games, and I don't think it has much replayability.
Ship Graveyard Simulator is a fun simulation title. In theory, it should be awful; however, it is addictive and demands you keep playing. Break each ship, hire workers, and get rich.
Amnesia: The Bunker is excellent, offering the dread and terror you'd expect along with engaging new mechanics. Some technical issues occasionally break the immersion, but Frictional's approach to frightening and challenging you still offers its best thrills.
Bat Boy is a great action platforming game that has everything we loved about these games in the past, from catchy music to great visuals and controls. It's fun to see a game influenced by sports that aren't actually a sports game!
Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! is a super addictive and cutesy game that's fun to play both single-player and with friends. I would have loved the option to change the music as it becomes quite irritating when you hear it repeatedly due to difficult stages.
