A Little to the Left is a family-friendly puzzler that's great in short bursts. It doesn't have a whole lot of content at the moment, but still provides a few hours of relaxing brain teasers to solve.
Marvel's Midnight Suns manages to meet the hype strongly with an enjoyable cast, an engrossing story, and unique turn- and card-based gameplay to mix it up a bit. If not for Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, this would easily be the best Marvel game.
Buddy Simulator is an innovative indie adventure set in an RPG world with some clever meta moments. It could use some quality-of-life improvements and bug squashing, but still hits the mark from start to finish.
God of War: Ragnarok is a fantastic title, building from its predecessor's already phenomenal combat, though the story wasn't everything that I hoped it would be.
A great rally game, with an abundance of content from the last few games under Kylotonn's licensed WRC umbrella, but may adversely suffer from being very similar in presentation to previous entries, however the sheer amount of content available should quell any of those concerns.
Sonic Frontiers is a unique addition to the franchise that is really different compared to any of the Sonic titles before it. The game looks and sounds great, but has a couple areas that felt a little rough like the combat and controls in the Cyber Space challenges.
An intriguing little game with a great setting and aesthetic, well worth experiencing blind.
Riley & Rochelle combines '90s celebrity culture with a detective-style game that's impossible not to appreciate.
Tanuki Sunset is a vibrant, arcade-style longboarding game that has you playing as an extreme raccoon with a love of speed. It's a simple game that takes practise to master, but sure to get your heart pounding as you fly down winding roads!
Bravery and Greed is a retro-looking roguelite title with great solo and multiplayer modes to check out with friends. Each run will be different, with different choices that will totally alter the focus of your run; this game is challenging but very rewarding!
Aquarist on the Nintendo Switch is a pleasant and relaxing aquarium simulator with clunky controls, bad visuals, and an overall lack of story context. If you're in the mood for something like it, I recommend being very cautious or just playing the PC version instead.
Though Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord provides a fun outlet with its battles and the strategies you can employ within them, everything else is lacking in comparison. You might get a solid 5-10 hours of enjoyment out of the campaign before you it dawns on you that there's not much else to discover but a disappointing realisation.
Robo Legend is an RPG mixed with a twin-stick shooter that has you choosing if you want to be the hero of the story or the villain. With multiple endings, it's nice to see a game where your choices make a difference!
While the single-player offering is a little muddled and often confused regarding what exactly it wants to portray; the multiplayer is otherwise a straightforward and enjoyable experience, even if it's currently riddled with minor connectivity issues.
Chaos;Child was a bit of a disappointment for me. I enjoyed its improvements, but the previous game did things in a more interesting way, as it was all new to me. So having problems reappear while new ones came to light didn't convince me that this was a worthwhile sequel.
The Last Oricru can be terrible in some parts, but when it's good, it's delightful - though, I can't recommend it outside of its co-op elements, and I'd avoid it as a single-player title overall.
Short enough to warrant multiple playthroughs, although some of the storylines aren't quite as well-written as others, Unknown Number is an interesting title that will have puzzle fans jotting down notes and shouting into their PCs to solve some real headscratchers!
A few changes here and there improve Football Manager 2023 much more than I'd anticipated. It's still the same deeply engrossing sim that you know and love, but with a few extra bells and whistles to keep the fans happy.
Video Game Fables Nightmare Arena DLC is a fun addition to the base game, especially the inclusion of stickers. If you don't enjoy the turn-based battle system of the original game, this DLC will not interest you.
The team behind Chaos;Head Noah, did a fine job doing what they set out to do, but confusing choices surrounding their game's interactivity and accessibility features aren't enough to save its gorgeous animation or strong plot and characters.
