Ikonei Island fills its niche in the kids' game segment quite nicely. It's maybe a little thin for grown-ups by themselves, but it makes a great way to spend time with the kids without worrying about what they're likely to come across.
If you liked the Resident Evil 2 remake, you will easily enjoy Alone in the Dark which makes for a solid survival horror game.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth takes everything good about Final Fantasy VII Remake and puts a polish on it while. Whether you've played Final Fantasy VII before or not, you can find something to love in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
This remake doesn't offer much new to fans of the original except a shiny new exterior, but if you haven't played the original Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, then this remake is worth playing to experience a short, but packed, fantasy adventure at least once.
While the music and character representation were refreshing, it wasn’t enough to make the dull gameplay enjoyable.
The Gold Master Series by Digital Eclipse is one of the best things to ever happen to video games, and when all is said and done, Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story may just be its magnum opus.
The Thaumaturge is the perfect example of a game full of creative ideas, built on an interesting foundation, which is ultimately ruined by very poor execution.
While relaxing and pretty, Summerhouse features no progression and very little content. I've built all there is to build.
Reveil is entirely derivative of other works in the genre with nothing new to add, and if you think that might be enough for you, it's unfortunately not a very good version of all that either.
With elements that clash against each other constantly, Berserk Boy is the sort of experience that seems to never truly find its footing before the player puts the controller down for good.
Pacific Drive will end up as a highlight of 2024 for anyone seeking a fresh experience. Unfortunately, some quirks and genre trappings make it a little less wondrous than the Zone itself.
While Ultros undeniably looks and sounds beautiful, the incredibly tedious gameplay and a time loop gimmick that leads to tiring monotony more than anything else make Ultros fail to be anything more than nice to look at in screenshots.
Ufouria: The Saga 2 charms, almost delights, then falls flat on its feltwork face. The cutest dud of the year.
Promenade excels in its visual and gameplay design, creating a beautiful, fun, and satisfying puzzle platformer that will provide a worthy experience for the fans of the genre.
Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island doesn't re-invent the wheel, but adds a new entry in a solid, dependable series of rogue-like adventure games.
This eccentric reexamination of games many consider to be the worst of all time is a resounding success. Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore proves that you can find inspiration in all that brings you joy.
To put it in terms as simple as the game itself, Balatro is the best deckbuilding roguelike I've played. And I've played as many as there are cards in a deck (almost).
Bandle Tale is the final game under the Riot Forge banner, but thanks to its lovely soundtrack and a unique focus on resource management coziness, the project goes out with a bang
Incredibly stylish, beautifully violent, wonderfully voice-acted, surprisingly emotional and incredibly enjoyable: Slave Zero X is an absolute indie powerhouse.
Please, Touch The Artwork 2 is a gorgeous hand-painted hidden object puzzler that doesn't overstay its welcome. The puzzles are quite tricky, some punishingly so, and the hint system could use some work, but it's an overall fun experience.
