Spellcaster University is a fantastic deck-building, roguelite simulation. The text is a little small for the handheld Nintendo Switch screen, and the night cycle is a little dark, which means you miss out on the hilarious actions of the students. However, the more I played, the more I enjoyed Spellcaster University. With the additional challenges and the random nature of the cards, there is plenty of replay value, and I’m looking forward to furthering my studies and aiming to graduate as Archmage!
Kitchen Sync: Aloha! is a perfect pick for anyone who loves kitchen management games with a flavorful twist of RPG and visual novel elements. It blends the best of all three genres into one cozy, story-rich experience that’s both fun to play and hard to put down.
The Lunar Remastered Collection is a thoughtfully prepared revival of a truly classic JRPG series, bringing back two games that are nostalgia incarnate for the dedicated fan and an approachable bit of history for new players. With rebalanced difficulty, a modernized inventory, zippier combat, cleaned-up visuals, and the meat of these classic stories otherwise untouched, this is a brilliant example of how to bring back the biggest moments of gaming history without wrecking the shop. With the best two games in the Lunar saga now more accessible than ever, it’s a no-brainer of a choice for RPG fans who love the straightforward simplicity of our older turn-based games. For players used to the fancy options of modern RPGs like Avowed and Dragon Age, the Lunar Remastered Collection may feel too much like a step back. But if you love a good story, it’s still worth the time and investment to see why the genre still thrives, even in the shadow of glitzy triple-A action games.
Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate delivers a tight, stylish beat ‘em up that blends arcade action with the depth of a fighting game. Whether you’re in it for the couch co-op mayhem, the deep skill system, or just the chance to wreck bad guys with a giant anime sword, there’s something here for everyone. It’s an easy game to pick up for a quick session and rewarding enough to come back to repeatedly. Whether alone or with friends, this one punches way above its chibi weight class.
Hanako’s Flower Shop is a beautiful, cozy visual novel about building relationships and arranging flower bouquets. It features lush, hand-drawn art in anime style and a whole world full of well-crafted characters. If you like visual novels and flower arranging without timers and stress, you’ll love Hanako’s Flower Shop.
Amerzone – The Explorer’s Legacy is a game I’ve been waiting for for a long time. In some ways, I’ve been waiting for it since it came out in 1999. I like this trend of old classics being remade. I hope it continues. Also, Microids has been on a roll the last few years, at least when it comes to games in the genres I like. Between Amerzone and the previous year’s Arsene Lupin game and the reimagined Hercule Poirot games, the second of which is expected sometime this year, it is a good time to be a gamer. There’s always a need for good quality adventure games, and Amerzone – The Explorer’s Legacy is precisely that. It has enough to be a proper tribute to an already great game and a great creator, yet it also stands on its own. It’s a gorgeous, well-crafted game with smooth gameplay, no technical hiccups, great puzzles, and a well-crafted in-game world. So, if you love adventure games, you should try Amerzone – The Explorer’s Legacy. You’ll probably love it as much as I did.
Detective Dotson is a small game with great potential. If you are interested in Indian culture, like detective games, and like coziness, you should definitely try it when it comes out in a few days.
Overall, Eyes That Hypnotise was a very well-polished game. If you like these kinds of puzzles and you like adorable animals, I don’t think you can go wrong with it. It’s incredibly cute and relaxing and has a lot of levels, with more to be added soon. I like the love and care that obviously went into making this game as perfect as it could be, and I think anyone who picks this up is going to have a great time with it.
Horse Runner DX is a simple yet satisfying arcade experience. It’s the ideal kind of game for short, stress-free sessions, offering an easygoing challenge without demanding too much mental energy. With its addictive “just one more run” appeal, it’s an ideal pick for casual gamers and horse lovers alike. Whether or not you’re a fan of horses, there’s a fun time to be had here. Fancy trying first? A free demo is also available on Steam.
Seafrog is the kind of indie gem that dares to do something different, and totally sticks the landing (and the trick combo). With smooth gameplay, charming presentation, and a clever mash-up of genres, it’s a sea-soaked adventure that feels fresh at every turn. If you’ve got a love for platformers, skating games, or just weird and wonderful premises, then this frog’s for you. Strap in, hold your wrench tight, and get ready to grind the high seas in style.
Rusty Rabbit is a thoroughly enjoyable mech-hopping adventure. It blends quirky humour, heartfelt storytelling, and satisfying action in a way few games dare to. Yes, the cutscenes can break the pacing, and the Switch version isn’t flawless, but the charm and originality more than make up for it. If you’re looking for something that feels different, something that proves middle-aged rabbits (and gamers) still have plenty of kick left in them, this is one worth digging up. A free demo is also available on the eShop.
Polterguys: Possession Party is the type of party game that manages to feel fresh, funny, and frantic without relying on several mini-games. It’s a decent shake-up of the genre with enough originality to keep players coming back. It may have a limited scope solo. But multiplayer, whether you’re partying online or yelling at your sister for turning into a portal and ditching you to the monster, this one’s a hauntingly good time. A free demo is also available on Steam.
Skies Above is another strong showing from publisher Flynn’s Arcade, and perhaps one of their most refined yet. They sure know how to pick their developers. It blends arcade-style immediacy with roguelike depth, all wrapped in a charming and heartfelt package. You’ll come for the satisfying aerial combat, but you’ll stay because you want to protect your flying space whale. Ideal for short sessions but loaded with enough progression to keep you playing for the long haul, Skies Above is absolutely worth your time, especially if you’re a fan of quick-fire roguelikes with a unique twist.
Hidden Cat Outlaws is a nice addition to the hidden cats genre. It doesn’t bring anything new to the table, but still, it’s engaging enough to kill some time finding cats.
The Electrifying Incident: A Monster-Mini Expedition may not be a full meal, but it’s a delicious snack of a game for fans of A Monster’s Expedition. Anyone who’s a fan of block puzzles, slidey or otherwise, or who can think spatially are going to get a kick out of this little charmer. Light on story but full of this adorable little goon with his grabby toy and his PPE-approved vest, it’s the video game equivalent of a short story you’ll be thinking about for days afterward.
Tales of Autumn is a really well-balanced farming and ranching simulation with the added interest of creating biomes and befriending wildlife. The NPCs have great characters and humorous dialogue. There are lots of interactive festivals, cut scenes and quests, all of which make Autumn a vibrant and exciting place to call home. Overall, Tales of Autumn is a fantastic game, but the controls on the Nintendo Switch just took away some of my enjoyment.
Wind Story has a great description, but sadly, it doesn’t live up to that in any way. This should have gone into Early Access for a much lower price. As it is now, I have no other option but to give a negative verdict.
Star Overdrive is one of those games that might fly under the radar but deserves a second look from anyone who loves exploration-focused games with strong traversal mechanics. Its combat is light, and some systems (like crafting) could use more clarity, but these are small blemishes in what is otherwise a smooth, satisfying ride. It won’t appeal to every type of gamer, and those looking for fast-paced action or tightly directed stories might find it too laid-back. However, for players who love open-world discovery and creative movement, there’s a lot to love here. The hoverboard alone is worth the price of admission. If you want a taste a free demo is available on the eShop.
Game Over – A Musical RPG?? is not your average indie game. It’s strange, soulful, and stuffed with personality. With its unique blend of rhythm combat, moral choice, and off-kilter humour, it’s bound to become a cult favourite among fans of unconventional RPGs. If you’re into games that play with genre expectations and don’t mind a little weirdness along the way, give it a shot. Even if it’s not your thing, it’s one ride you won’t forget.
Overall, I think Pilo and the Holobook is a great little game. It’s polished, it’s cute, and it’s pretty chill to play. With a hint system, I think it would be the perfect game for kids and families and everyone who like wholesome, fun games with simple interactions.
