Harvest Island is a horror RPG-farming sim hybrid that, while flawed, can be frightening and shows promise for the developer.
Much like a mug of chamomile tea, Cuisineer is a great way to relax at the end of the day, but it can leave some wanting more flavor.
Virche Evermore is a Switch otome game that tackles some tough topics in an interesting way, but the walling off of endings is demoralizing.
RoboCop: Rogue City may not do anything extraordinary, but it doesn't have to. It takes the RoboCop license, makes me care about it, and provides a solid Deus Ex-like RPG take on Detroit.
It's hard to evaluate Gaiden as a standalone game. And that's because it isn't? Sega took what could have been a flashback chapter in Infinite Wealth and tacked on some extras.
Alan Wake 2 is a narrative masterpiece, and is the culmination of Remedy Entertainment's previous works. The long-awaited sequel is not only a groundbreaking thriller, but it raises the bar for how story-based games should be told.
A Perfect Day is a beautiful, but dull, visual novel and puzzle game hybrid that quickly wears out its welcome.
Like My Time at Portia, the My Time at Sandrock Switch version doesn't feel quite ready at launch and hampers a promising game.
An emotional yet whimsical adventure that focuses on the themes of self-acceptance and the inter-generational immigrant trauma experience.
Star Ocean The Second Story is among its best games in the series, and I believe the R release cements its role as the strongest entry.

Little Goody Two Shoes delivers a mesmerizing world to explore, enhanced with gorgeous artwork, charming characters and an enticing narrative.
Even if Tempest Dawning Connections is a great Switch otome game that pays extra attention to its love interests and supporting characters.
Super Mario Bros Wonder certainly dares to be different with its aesthetically pleasing environments and unconventional Wonder Effects in stages.
World of Horror draws you in from the beginning with its creepy, grotesque vibes, 1-bit graphics, the Junji Ito-inspired art direction, the point-and-click gameplay, and story that pays homage to the horror genre.
A nice art style, solid design and creative mechanics tie together for a game that's a great time alone or in co-op.
I admittedly went postal a bit the first ten minutes when I was hopelessly lost. Nintendo Switch version reviewed.
Crymachina offers a cybernetic futuristic world with excellent action-based combat. Though it loses itself in the weeds with its plot, it delivers nonstop fun.
Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster brings back two fantastic cult classics with improved visuals, and some limited QoL features.
Front Mission 2 Remake delivers on both the gameplay and writing fronts. While it has some pacing issues in its story, the gameplay remains consistently fun and engaging.
