Tad the Lost Explorer is a nice-looking 3D platformer that sends you around the world to solve puzzles, discover treasures, and prove that you are a great explorer. There are issues with some of the puzzles where completing it doesn't trigger the next event correctly, so you may need to replay sections.
Divine Knockout(DKO) had so much potential, but it falls into the trap many other multiplayer games fall into, focusing too much on one area with every other area being barely touched. It would be doing much worse if it weren't for the visuals and fun gameplay.
Though slightly held back by its visual presentation and potentially polarising humour, Trombone Champ is a respectable rhythm game with enjoyable gameplay that fans of the genre are bound to enjoy.
High On Life is a fun and humorous FPS that, while not innovating on the genre, is a joy to play all throughout its main story. However, it lacks a little technical polish and optional goals.
A refreshing simulator that lets you do what is advertised which is easy to play but hard to master. Pay attention to what you're doing and you'll be the number one brewer in town.
Guybrush's new adventure is every bit as fun as his previous ones. This is a triumph of a game that manages to live up to exorbitant amounts of expectation and ticks every box.
Mostly flash with very little substance. The incredible graphics and overall design draw you in but there's not much to keep you there.
Probably one of the cutest, most creative platformer titles I've had the pleasure of playing. There's no reason not to pick this game up!
Although the game has potential, it falls short overall due to a lack of proper care and clunky gameplay.
Vampire Survivors is one of the most addictive games I've played since Tetris! Apologies to my partner, who has hardly seen me for a few months now. Just one more game, I promise…
I was very impressed with Bound by Blades, two things I would like from it though would be more open explorable spaces, and a longer story. Other than that, this game is a whole lot of fun.
The Knight Witch is a nice-looking game with hand-drawn visuals, charming characters, and an interesting story. The game combines twin-stick shooting, deck building, and Metroidvanias in a unique way I have never played before!
Gunfire Reborn is a well-formed and illustrated multiplayer game with the ability to play it solo. However, you have to really like repetitive gameplay or roguelites; otherwise, you'll do your head in after the eleventh attempt on the first stage.
Ship of Fools is an enjoyable and charming co-op game that has players working together to rid The Forgotten Waters of the sea monsters taking it over. It's a little short, with some slower loading times on the Steam Deck using the dock, but it's one of the most fun co-op games I've played in a while!
There's no doubt that Three Hopes offers a story that stands out from its predecessor. While it doesn't have quite the emotional impact, it still offers plenty of a wild ride of twists and turns.
Beautiful setting and sound design, fantastic story, and perfectly implemented gameplay mechanics make IXION an easy 10 for me.
A solid game that has aged over time with exploits which take the challenge out of combat but makes it up with a more engaging expansion.
Kukoos: Lost Pets is a fun and charming 3D platformer with a ton of charm and weirdness that can't be found in other titans of the genre. So while its story and performance could use some work, everything else that it gets right more than makes up for it.
Whilst not featuring enough content to draw players back into Steelrising, there is some enjoyment to be found in Cagliostro's Secrets, albeit a very brief amount.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a beautiful-looking and sounding game with fun team-combat, even for players who are new to the universe. There are some issues with loading times and connectivity that are sure to be patched in the future.
