Want to blow up people on a racing track while piloting a hover vehicle? Well then good sir/madam this is the game for you. Just, don't expect the same whimsical enjoyment you may find in other titles.
Despite feeling automated at times, Construction Simulator was still a fun and very relaxed experience that simulator fans should absolutely check out.
Costume Quest is delightful, fun, and very spoopy albeit a bit simple. An intuitive costume system and clever RPG mechanics make this a no-brainer!
Lost Eidolons is a tactical RPG that takes time to become attached to. However, once you start to get the swing of things you may just become hooked.
Despite its difficulty not fitting the soulslike expectation, Asterigos: Curse of the Stars manages to be a phenomenal entry, as long as you don't come in expecting challenging gameplay.
Gunslingers & Zombies does a good job of delivering on a simple premise while having a unique visual style. It just isn't the best port out there, and it left me feeling like something was missing.
Despite the 1.0 release, Session: Skate Sim still has a few issues. However, this shouldn't keep any skating fan away from this deeply rewarding simulator that can, at times, feel just as rewarding as the real sport.
Born and raised with retro in its roots, Kraino Origins is a great title for retro enthusiasts seeking to experience something reminiscent of Ghosts 'n Goblins or Castlevania, though I do wish the combat had been a little less rough on the edges.
Super Alloy Ranger is a great 2D platformer influenced by the Mega Man X series in all the right ways. The story isn't the best but has a lot of unique attributes that make it a must-play title!
Aliens: Fireteam Elite - Pathogen does make improvements upon previous levels and delivers a familiar yet enjoyable Aliens experience, albeit maybe a bit too familiar. Whilst not without untapped potential, this is certain to be a worthwhile investment if you found yourself wanting more from Aliens: Fireteam Elite.
Blind Fate: Edo no Yami has unique gameplay elements with a great story and voice acting but is incredibly difficult due to hit-detection issues and repetitive actions during your playthrough.
Serial Cleaners is a fun top-down stealth game that will test your patience and sense of timing. Who would have thought vacuuming the floor would be so fun?
Penko Park's undeniable influences and not-so-stellar content make it a bit of a hard sell, but for those looking for a Pokémon Snap-style game, it's a fine choice.
Foretales spearheads the card-based genre into an unexplored amalgamation of narration and choose-your-own-adventure though I wish it hadn't strayed from its card battler roots so much, which ultimately leads to a simple gameplay loop.
ZooKeeper is a charming game to look at with its pixelated graphics style. However, don't expect top gameplay or player freedom from this zoo simulator. Its positives are equally matched by the negatives.
Overall, Long Live The Queen is a really fun game with endless hours of replay value. It's challenging and can seem initially a bit overwhelming in its vastness but will win you over with its charm and ability to not take things like failure seriously.
The Outbound Ghost is a great turn-based RPG with fun characters and a heartfelt story. The unique game mechanics make the battles challenging and enjoyable as you progress through the story.
SCP: Secret Files offers five distinct missions, each with a drastically different style. It doesn't have a whole lot of interactivity, but does an impressive job of conveying an uneasy atmosphere in each unique chapter.
Moss: Book II serves as a perfect sequel to the original, though it doesn't introduce as many new things as you might want.
More House Party is never a bad thing, and this is certainly true with House Party - Doja Cat Expansion Pack, though perhaps skip it and finish playing the main stories first before jumping into this one.
