8-Bit Adventures 2 is a story-driven RPG that feels like the classics in the genre. It is now available on all platforms, so you need to check it out!
The Smurfs - Dreams was a downright magical experience; although I did encounter a few things I wish had been different, they are instantly forgotten thanks to everything I loved about the game.
Neva is a stunning game that tackles the themes of parenthood and climate change perfectly. With an immersive soundtrack, beautiful art, and an emotional journey, it's a challenging platforming-adventure that fans new and old will love.
There's some potential missed here, but Shuyan Saga does a fantastic job at scratching its niche's itches and delivers an enjoyable, if occasionally disappointing, experience.
Despite some niggles and complaints, Perennial Order is a great debut title that paints an optimistic picture for the future of the studio.
Isekaing: From Zero to Zero is a unique game that uses humour to move the plot along but falls flat and feels offensive when it's trying to be funny.
Ravenswatch is an amazing experience any fan of roguelikes should play.
A practically perfect remake in every sense, Silent Hill 2 is a game that will stay with you long after the credits roll, and shouldn't be missed by any horror fan.
Reindeer Story is a nice game that can be surprisingly naughty in terms of difficulty and writing.
Copycat has visual charm and enjoyable cat-based gameplay, but with a short runtime and poorly executed story, it isn't worth your time, especially if you love cats.
Duck Paradox is good but it will require a lot of patience and skill to get through 30 stages in one run. Patience, multitasking, and a little luck will go a long way. Just make sure you don't go too crazy.
Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines is a challenging 2D platformer with a fun story and unique stages to challenge. If you are a fan of this genre, check this one out!
A fantastic roguelite with fast-paced action, light-hearted humour, and a great cast of characters. Though it may wear on you on a long play session, Wild Bastards has earned its place as Void Bastard's successor.
Hidden in My Paradise is one of the best hidden object games I've played; it's charming visually and gameplay-wise. A lot of love and thought went into it, and it's evident.
Amber Isle is a fun prehistoric adventure that values the friendships and profits made in the game. However, it is held back by some issues that can get in the way of truly enjoying the experience.
Lore of the Frog is a short adventure that'll give you a breather from life's hecticness. If you're looking to relax for a moment and put hats on adorable frogs, I suggest checking it out!
Sammy Jukes: Twin Lakes is a nice and cosy mystery to solve on a rainy day, but don't expect something more complex than that.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is an awesome remake that looks and sounds amazing. I just wish there was voice-acting here!
Bloomtown: A Different Story is a pixelated RPG that takes heavy inspiration from the Persona series. While some cosy gamers may enjoy it and its music, there are some gameplay elements that drew me out of my immersion.
Mars 2120 is a very interesting and fun experience, featuring beautiful graphics and innovative gameplay elements, although some are too innovative to be easily understood by the player.
