8Bit/Digi's Reviews
Bright Memory: Infinite is a fast-paced shooter that knows all too well what the player wants. The combat is fast paced and never stops while the gameplay is easy to learn. Overall, if you enjoyed the Crysis series back in the day then you will enjoy stepping into the shoes of Agent Shelia.
Mothmen 1966 takes a familiar genre and adds a unique style to create an unforgettable work of horror. It’s a visual novel inspired by classic horror and pulps of the 60s but it does it so well. Making you shiver as the words appear on the screen and questioning your choices as your progress.
Thymesia is an indie studio’s love letter to the Dark Souls series and it makes no effort to hide it (in all the right ways). At the same time, it wants to introduce new gamers to the series with an experience that encapsulates what defines it but is scaled back in regards to time and grind.
SD Gundam: Battle Alliance encapsulates everything that makes the franchise iconic while also wanting to have fun with its world. As a work of Gundam media, it knows what the fans want while also encouraging them to explore the series. As a game, it knows how to be fun and understand what the player wants.
Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a reminder of what the glory days of 3D platformers were like with little of the irritation.

Gundam Evolution takes a classic concept and repurposes it into a hero shooter that also hits all the right marks. Fans will be battling each other with their favorite mobile suit in a familiar setup. It has some shortcomings but they are ones that can be resolved over time.
Scorn is a mesmerizing tale with plenty to say about life and death in a vision of hell inspired by the works of H.R. Giger.
Video Game Fables is a homage to classic JRPGs while also wanting to deconstruct and parody the genre tropes. In doing has resulted in a fun experience that gamers will enjoy. This is truly a solid experience developed by one person.
No More Heroes III is another elegantly crafted love letter to otaku culture and gamers but with the action cranked up to 10. Travis Touchdown is back for another over-the-top adventure. For those of us who waited for its premier on the PC and other consoles, it has been worth the wait.
Persona 5 has not only grown to become the defining entry in the Shin Megami Tensei series but also one of the most influential JRPG's of the last few years. Royal takes what is already a masterpiece and makes it better for PC gamers.

Samurai Maiden is a fun but also flawed hack’n slash that embraces all the beloved anime tropes. On one hand, it’s a fun over the top game with mesmerizing visuals. On the other hand, it has flaws that should not exist in such a game.
Yeah Yeah Beebiss II wants to introduce the history of a lost game to a greater audience while capturing the essence of the 8-bit era. It has succeeded at doing both of those with one work of art.

Sail Forth checks all the boxes when it comes to being an immersive rich and enjoyable sailing experience.
Raiden IV x MIKADO Remix is the arcade classic that gamers love along with bonus content to enhance the overall experience.
