Chants of Sennaar is one of the most unique games of the year and it's impressively rewarding, too, so definitely play it if you love puzzles.
Days of Doom has a promising premise yet its mix of genres doesn't accomplish anything exceptional beyond its unique cast of characters.
Gunbrella is one of those indies that presents such a clever combo of fun gameplay elements that it's an easy title to recommend.
If AK-xolotl released 10 years ago, it would likely be a cult classic and although it's kind of fun, it doesn't really hold up in today's market.
Horizon Chase 2 offers a huge assortment of tracks set in real-world locales that make its instinctual and visceral gameplay really shine.
As perhaps the most ridiculous rhythm game I've ever played, Trombone Champ presents a surprisingly satisfying level of challenge.
Even though the intentionally clumsy controls of Party Animals has been done before, the amount of variety makes it stand out.
If you're in the mood for a hilarious and fast-paced shoot 'em up then you really can't do much better than Osyaberi! Horijyo! Gekihori: Anna Holinski saves the universe, alright?! as it'll make you laugh as you master its challenging albeit simple gameplay.
I'm very happy that Super Bomberman R 2 is here and its highly strategic Castle mode is simply one of the best innovations that the series has ever seen. In addition to that, the single player component is brimming with rewarding content that'll keep lone wolves entertained for hours while the multiplayer element is as frantic and fun as it's ever been. It definitely lit my fuse; that's for sure.
ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON is a great mech combat game that boasts a surprisingly moody atmosphere while offering one of the most rewarding customisation components in all of gaming. So, definitely play it if you love tough combat and plenty of explosions.
The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails brought me back to the wonderful PSP days and for that, I feel indebted to this fantastic gem from that era. Throw in excellent gameplay, an undeniably charming world, and oodles of cleverly designed levels and you're left with one great action RPG. Just keep in mind that its story is nowhere near as epic as the Trails in its title may lead you to believe.
How 2 Escape is a brilliant cross-device co-op puzzler with an eerie tone that will thoroughly test your communication skills. Great stuff!
We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip is a bite-sized spin-off that acts as an excellent intro for the great We Were Here series.
It's awesome that Escape Academy: The Complete Edition is a thing as it's full of well-crafted puzzles that'll keep you entertained for hours. Plus, it works well on Nintendo Switch so even more folks can enjoy it than ever before.
Lies of P is a very good Soulslike that doesn't quite reach greatness due to its lack of variety and needless limitations. That aside; what's here is still undeniably rewarding and entertaining so fans of the genre will enjoy what it has to offer.
Fae Farm is one fun farming sim with tons to keep you busy for many in-game months as well as a large world to explore beyond the farm. The only thing it's missing is a substantial family system so pick it up if you're more into the farming and adventuring side of things.
I had a great deal of fun with Samba de Amigo: Party Central and am looking forward to playing it more, especially while exploring the online modes so if you're down for a fun-filled maraca-shaking good time, why not monkey around?
Rune Factory 3 Special is an attractive upgrade to the DS original and I had fun exploring its dungeons, upgrading my tools, farming, and wooing my future wife. However, its issues with inventory management, lack of gender and marriage options, and a rather limited set of dungeons make it a middling (but still good) Rune Factory game overall.
As a fan of retro games and documentaries, The Making of Karateka really hit a sweet spot that I don't think any other game has before.
I thoroughly enjoyed 30XX and the thing is; there's always more to play with its open-ended nature and clever roguelike structure.
