The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- is a fun turn-based strategy RPG with a large entertaining cast and an intriguing story. If it featured more variety in its enemies and locales and fleshed out its characters' motivations a bit more, it would be a must-have. 🏫
There's a lot to love about Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree from its expansive and diverse map to its brutal boss fights that'll thoroughly test your character build. Its combat could definitely benefit from a bit more complexity, though. 🌲
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage - Tape 2 answers some questions and fails to deliver on other plot points. Although it provides a lot of optional endings and you learn more about Kat's life, the abundant glitches make it an only somewhat satisfying ending to the summer of '95. 📼
All in Abyss: Judge the Fake is a simple game of quirky lighthearted fun for those who enjoy a little high stakes gambling. 🃏
I sincerely love Once Upon A Puppet but its glitchiness and frustration factor are so high that it's hard to widely recommend it. 🧵
It may be quite lonely on Star Overdrive's planet but there's so much to see and do and its rockin' vibes help tie it all together. 🪐
The core gameplay of Skies Above is a ton of fun but the repetition of it all will certainly make it wear thin after only a few hearty attempts. 🐋
Steredenn: Binary Stars is a roguelike shoot 'em up which provides so much variety that I could play it for hours at a time. I'll get back to it! 🌠
Although it's relatively short, Amerzone - The Explorer's Legacy is an engaging adventure with an interesting story; making it worth the effort to power the Hydrafloat along the river and save a dying species. 🥚
Steel Seed is a delightful surprise as its blend of stealth, action, puzzles, and some of the best stage designs in the genre make it stand out as an exceptional experience. Even with its obvious shortcomings, I recommend playing this gem for sure. 🤖
FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves may not be the most expansive fighter ever made but what's here is undeniably great stuff that any fighting game enthusiast can easily enjoy. The question is: will Hotaru's ferret be available as a stuffie? I sure hope so. 🐺
UNDERDOGS presents a pitch-perfect underground atmosphere with arena combat matches that will keep you sweating. 🦍
I, Robot is my new favourite arcade-like VR experience so if you have a headset, boot this sucker up and feed your head to the web. 👁️
Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate offers a ton of beat 'em up fun, especially if you're playing with chums. At the same time, there's no denying how repetitive it gets but the grind can certainly be entertaining, especially with such lovely sights and sounds. 💢
Which Way Up: Galaxy Games is one of those indie party games that's so much more fun than it has any right being. Plus, that sun's so cute! 🌌
If you're nostalgic for this quirky series then SNOW BROS. 2 SPECIAL is the game to get as it's bursting with 4-player good times. ❄️
There's no denying that you and a few chums can have a solid time with CarGo! but it could use more elements to make it stand out. 🏭
LUNAR Remastered Collection is a fantabulous package of 2 of the best lighthearted retro RPGs ever made. With impeccable localisation that's filled with hilarity, bubbly characters, and unforgettable moments; I highly recommend this compilation to all of my fellow merry chums. 🌟
Rusty Rabbit is a cute and entertaining Metroidvania that offers such a unique and fresh experience that I found it hard to put down. However, if you're looking for more challenge and excitement then its laidback formula may not be for you. 🐇
I had a lovely time revisiting SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered as it's one of the most memorable RPGs from when I was a cub. At the same time, I forgot just how frustrating of a game it can be so please keep that in mind before giving it a go. ⚔️
