Wild Blue Skies offers old-school entertainment at a reasonable price. It’s easy to draw a comparison with Nintendo’s Star Fox, but in all fairness, these are two games in completely different leagues.

In case you haven't noticed, Agefield High: Rock The School doesn't even come close to living up to the expectations it once managed to generate. Anyone who hoped that Refugium Games had the talent to create a full-fledged Bully experience can go ahead and throw those hopes in the trash.

Servant of the Lake is an interesting and well-made puzzle game that we, as Dutch people, can secretly be a little proud of.

Duskfade is a tribute to 3D platformers that fully captures what makes the genre so much fun. Is this a milestone in the genre? Well, not exactly, but don't let that stop you.

STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT is a story that requires patience, but one that more than rewards that patience.

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is a highly polished fighting game that has something to offer both newcomers and veterans. The game is accessible to beginners, yet it also features a strong competitive element. If it were up to me, we’d be seeing Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls frequently at many events in the coming years.

Agent 64: Spies Never Die attempts to fill a void that GoldenEye 64 has created over the years. It manages to partially fill that void with highly entertaining couch co-op, but that’s pretty much the only thing keeping Agent 64 afloat.

Beast of Reincarnation is a game with good ideas that are too often held back by its execution.

Fields of Mistria is everything I look for in a farming sim. The game combines a vibrant village, compelling characters, satisfying progression, and an addictive gameplay loop into an experience where I can effortlessly lose myself for hours.

Mistfall Hunter isn't perfect. However, if you can look past a few design choices, you'll find a rewarding adventure that puts a unique spin on the extraction genre.

If you have a close-knit group of friends and are looking for a virtual hangout, Big Walk is the game for you. The game itself isn't all that special, though; it's really up to you to make it fun.

Since the Danish studio Dennaton Games no longer feels the need to expand the genre they defined, I’m glad that developers like CIRCLEfromDOT are adding their own “DOT” to the mix with games like Kusan: City of Wolves. On the one hand, it scratches that Hotline Miami itch that just won’t go away, but on the other hand, it also adds things you didn’t even know you were missing.

On paper, The Relic: First Guardian has a lot going for it: the promise of Korean mythology, fast-paced and fluid combat, and the varied and numerous Brutals. Unfortunately, I don’t feel the impact or that special something that makes Korean mythology interesting, while the gameplay has many shortcomings as well.

Despite some obvious shortcomings, Moss remains a really fun, fairy-tale-like experience. Don't have a VR headset but have always wanted to try these games? Then Moss: The Forgotten Relic is definitely worth your time!

Does Halo: Campaign Evolved come close to the original; in other words, does it deserve five stars? No, let’s not kid ourselves about that. The more important question is this: Is Halo: Campaign Evolved a worthy addition to the franchise? If you can look past certain questionable design choices, the answer is a resounding “yes.”

ACE Team has undoubtedly laid a rock-solid foundation, and with the necessary updates, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu could become a standout title in the genre. Still, I doubt that my biggest issues can be resolved, since the combat and progression systems are so deeply ingrained.

Splatoon Raiders is Splatoon through and through: the core gameplay, controls, and movement are as enjoyable as ever, while tanks, gadgets, and a Monster Hunter-inspired structure add a fresh twist. However, beneath that solid foundation, repetitive missions, uninspired level design, and a lack of standout moments keep it from leaving a lasting impression.

DIVE or Die: Children of Rain is a unique and compact roguelike that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. The ominous setting is effectively conveyed through the music, visual style, and lack of light.

Denshattack! is chaotic, challenging, atmospheric, and above all, very unique. You can clearly see where its influences come from, but the game’s charm and actual content are entirely its own.

D-topia is an intriguing puzzle game that cleverly plays with the line between utopia and dystopia. From the very beginning, the world feels uncomfortably perfect, and the AI theme raises interesting dilemmas surrounding control, security, and freedom of choice.
