Complaints aside, Ginger: Beyond the Crystal does a great job of bringing back the classic 3D platformer.
The Jackbox Party Pack 3 is bursting with fantastic multiplayer games and it's a big step up from last year's offering.
Ashes of Ariandel is an impressive first DLC pack for Dark Souls III.
Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure is one of the best games for 3DS this year and there have been loads of great titles recently.
The Bug Butcher is a decent take on the classic Pang formula but it also manages to turn it into a more mindless experience.

Rogue Stormers' reward system encourages you to plug away at the same stages repeatedly, perhaps getting a little farther each time, until you finally beat it.
Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors is one of the most monotonous JRPGs that I've ever played in my life.
There's no doubt that my capacity to enjoy Clustertruck was affected by the lack of an invert Y axis option but really, how difficult is it to add something like that? If you play games the "normal" way, you might like Clustertruck a bit more than I did but even then, I'd imagine its novelty value would soon wear off and quickly be replaced by repeated feelings of frustration.
Ninja Usagimaru: The Mysterious Karakuri Castle is a fantastic handheld puzzler that anyone with a fondness for the genre should try.
You can get a lot of playtime out of Dead Synchronicity.
Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 is not only a must-buy game for existing fans, anyone who finds 2D action games appealing should definitely pick it up.
