Not only is Hi-Fi RUSH an incredible looking title, it absolutely nails the rhythm action genre with superbly stylish gameplay, and a soundtrack you can't help but groove to.
If you want to play a free PVP online game then Warlander is worth playing while there's a player base surrounding it.
RE:CALL has an excellent, mysterious story and unique time travel mechanics, but it struggles with gameplay consistency at its halfway mark. However, the fun puzzles, text-based choices, and memorable cast of characters definitely make it a title easy to recommend.
Lone Ruin is a beautiful and addictive game where you can choose your path and power-ups as you progress through these abandoned ruins fighting off numerous enemies. Unfortunately, the game is quite short, especially if you aren't interested in getting a high score on the Leaderboard.
While it doesn't do anything new for the platforming genre, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake offers innocent adventures with iconic characters across Bikini Bottom.
The King's Dilemma: Chronicles is a must-have game that expertly immerses you into the issues of your people, other factions and the murderous cults and beings that wander into your lands. If you have the time and remaining Christmas money, get this game.
8-Bit Adventures 2 is a beautiful, turn-based RPG inspired by all the classic titles on the NES and improved to make the gameplay even better. This game will have you hooked with a compelling and unique story; it's a must-play!
World Championship Boxing Manager 2 is a boxing management sim with mild RPG elements wrapped in a vibrant retro pixel art style. While it can get into a repetitive game loop at times, the developers have attempted to sprinkle in some items for the sake of replayability. Entertaining and easy to pick up, this title is worth checking out for those interested in straightforward management games.
Raiden IV x MIKADO Remix is a super fun and challenging game with various modes and the option to play with two players. Add on the amazing soundtrack and beautiful visuals; this is a must-play title.
An unfinished game that left Early Access too soon. Into The Flame's inconsistent dedication to realism cannot reconcile with fun, smooth gameplay. With frustrating controls, underwhelming visuals, and widespread bugs, it isn't worth your time.
BLACKTAIL is an RPG full of exploration, crafting, and magic. Based on Slavic Folklore, this isn't your typical happy story; this is a dark tale full of difficult choices. It may take some time to learn how to use your bow well, but once you figure out the proper timing and technique, you will be more successful in battle.
A few technical issues and simplified gameplay detract from an otherwise engaging narrative, with a likeable cast of characters. Just don't expect too much strategic thinking.
A fantastic entry in the series, and fans of the franchise should definitely pick it up. RPG fans in general will also enjoy it, though it can become a little easy.
ONE PIECE ODYSSEY is a fantastic journey with the Straw Hat Crew, that combines a light-hearted adventure, with a fun and flashy combat system. A must-play if you're a ONE PIECE fan, though still very much recommended even if you're not.
A bopping soundtrack, crisp visuals, and a unique gameplay twist aren't enough to save Graze Counter GM, as it's not quite as replayable as advertised.
Gungrave G.O.R.E suffers from old style linear gameplay tropes - while the combat is fluid, the constant enemy waves over 12-14 hours quickly lose any sense of joy. Lack of available exploration also means you really only have the boss fights to look forward to.
Despite a few rough edges, WW2 Rebuilder has an addictive gameplay loop with new mechanics added in almost every level. A fun, stress-free simulator that is sure to delight fans of the genre.
Chained Echoes is a fantastic JRPG that captures everything we love about turn-based RPGs on the SNES but improves on everything we didn't love. With a new battle system, no random enemies to encounter, and the ability to have eight characters on your team and switch without using a turn, Chained Echoes is a must-play!
Avoid it like the plague.
Although lacking in some aspects, what Grow: Song of the Evertree gets right is the sense of whimsical fun and adventure. Definitely worth giving a try!
