Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery is simply more great object-finding fun. If you enjoyed Myths & Magic then pick this up as well.
The gameplay of Tiny Pixels Vol. 1 - Ninpo Blast can be quite fun but its reliance on grinding and repetition make it fall a bit flat.
Mika and the Witch's Mountain is a fun escape into the life of a bubbly little girl who wants to become a witch but who makes new friends and has unexpected adventures along the way. It may be short but it's certainly worth playing if it's your kind of game. ๐งน
Creatures of Ava is a colourful and fun adventure game that offers a refreshing take on combat. Conservationism never felt so fun! ๐ถ
I'm surprised by how much fun I had with Elrentaros Wanderings. Although it has limited gameplay, what's here is satisfying and its addictive blend of upgrading weapons with loot and completing challenges kept me coming back for more. โ๏ธ
If you're willing to practice and learn its ins and outs, CYGNI: All Guns Blazing becomes an absolutely thrilling shoot 'em up that will stay with you for a very long time. It may be divisive now but let me assure you, genre fans will eventually hold this gem in high regard. ๐ฅ
SteamWorld Heist II builds upon the original in many clever ways to create a sequel that's a ton of fun even 8 whopping years after the first game debuted. Be sure to play it but don't sail in my part of the seas or I may have to take your hat. โ
There's certainly some fun to be had in EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 but don't expect it to offer much noteworthy when you compare it to the previous couple of entries in the series. Playing it did make me excited for WORLD BROTHERS 2, though. ๐
Me being sad at having finished The Star Named EOS is a good indicator of how I feel about it as a whole - I enjoyed it and wanted more. It knows what it wants to be: a cozy heartfelt little puzzle game and it succeeds in being exactly that. ๐ธ
Deadlink is a first-person shooter that any gamer can enjoy with rewarding roguelike elements and satisfying action-packed gameplay.
Frontier Hunter: Erza's Wheel of Fortune is a great surprise in the Metroidvania realm with rewarding gameplay that's full of variety.
Magical Delicacy is a cute and enjoyable game that will keep a smile on your face as you explore, gather, and cook up delicious treats.
SPYxANYA: Operation Memories is a diary-worthy game with its adorable world and laidback gameplay that never takes itself seriously.
Its impressive world is enjoyable to explore and the story kept me interested enough to see it to its conclusion although it is very linear and the writing could definitely be improved. ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
Metroidvanias with clever movement skills are some of my favourite in the genre and Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus is certainly top-tier.
As one of my new favourite indies of the year, Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure is a joy to play with its unconventional puzzles.
I had a blast with the arcade fun in Satryn DX and will surely boot it up whenever I want to try and beat my previous high score.
Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III is a must-play for any fan of arcade-style retro games, especially those who love co-op.
I'm very happy that folks are releasing collections of classic shoot 'em ups and Over Horizon X Steel Empire is one delicious treat.
As the odd one in the bunch, Cyber Citizen Shockman Zero is impressively fun with its melee-focused combat even if it is a bit tedious.
