That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles is a fun enough sidescrolling adventure with some city-building elements thrown in, but is let down by a lacklustre execution, repetitive combat, and a relatively high price.
When people say that you could spend 80-100 hours in this game and enjoy every second of it, believe them because there is so much variety to enjoy here.
There is no doubt in me when I recommend Just Crow Things! Few games can make me laugh, let alone as hard as I did as I pooped firey chilli poo on unsuspecting victims.
Hands of Necromancy II feels like a classic FPS that has you using magic to battle enemies and bring the fallen ones back to life to fight with you; it's so much fun to play!
G.I. JOE: Wrath of Cobra is the 2D arcade beat-'em-up game your inner child wanted. Who doesn't want to feel like they are in an episode of a cartoon with their friends?
The Crimson Diamond is a cosy retro-style murder mystery with an excellent story, enjoyable puzzles, and a charming protagonist. This is a must-play for anyone who loves text-based adventure games or wants an accessible, modern entry point into the genre.
Another solid entry into the franchise, Train Sim World 5 may not feature enough to feel like a brand-new game, but it's still absolutely first class when it comes to train simulators.
Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE Plus tells an engaging mystery tale set in a fascinating world. An easy recommendation for fans of similar titles.
Featuring relatable characters, including a rocket launcher-wielding guinea pig, an in-depth story, exciting quests, and an immersive world, Beyond Galaxyland is an adventure that you won't want to miss.
GoobnBallonsDX is a great twin-stick shooter that can be played alone or with friends. It may look cutesy, but these balloons can be challenging to take down!
A collection of some of the best metroidvanias in one package, this is a definite recommendation to both fans and newcomers. Though some minor issues hamper it a bit, they are severely outnumbered by the good.
Parking Garage Rally Circuit is a retro-inspired racer with smooth drifting controls and crazy tracks to race. This game can be very challenging yet rewarding at the same time!
REYNATIS is an excellent magical adventure set in the mean streets of Shibuya. With great use of its simple yet awesome gameplay mechanics, it's definitely worth your time, but be prepared to deal with less-than-stellar design choices.
Marko: Beyond Brave is good at its core, but its execution can be quite shaky. It has great presentation and methodical fights with bosses and enemies, but the iffy platforming and issues I encountered just left a bad taste afterwards.
The Plucky Squire has a very slow start with excessive dialogue and over-tutorialisation, but once you get past that, it becomes an incredible, dimension-shifting adventure you shouldn't miss out on.
NBA 2K25's array of entertaining modes and stunningly true-to-life visuals make shooting hoops feel better than ever.
A very well executed remaster, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster doesn't completely change the vanilla experience, but it improves enough to give fans the best version of Frank's debut outing.
Crypt Custodian is a great metroidvania title starring a cast of animals in the afterlife. There is lots to do here with puzzles and places to explore with a tonne of backtracking.
Despite the name, Mad Smartphone Tycoon is painfully dull and lacks any real sense of wonder that might keep a player invested.
Black Myth: Wukong may look like another soulslike on the surface, but in truth, it is a fantastic action RPG with great boss battles, memorable characters, and my favourite mechanic of the year so far, Transformations. You can be a rock with legs!
