Moonlight Peaks offers a serviceable farming sim with supernatural elements that offer a little flight of fancy.
Rhythm Heaven Groove follows the franchise formula very closely, building a familiar but robust toy box for fans of the beat. Lag is the number one concern! We recommend playing in handheld mode, and choosing headphones carefully if necessary. Still, it's worth the care.
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales feels different and like an example of Square Enix taking a chance, and that’s why I loved this action-RPG.
The Switch 2 version of Star Fox feels designed to both be comfortable and offer a means to get people playing together.
Tavern Talk Stories: Dreamwalker is another solid installment in the drink-making visual novel genre, though I admittedly enjoyed Coffee Talk Tokyo a bit more.
Momento may not be as momentous or genre-defining as Unpacking, but it is a charming organizational puzzle game.
Schrodinger’s Call is an atmospheric and emotionally engulfing visual novel that lets us work out mysteries while offering closure.
Mina the Hollower is a a robust game that is a joy to play and proves Shovel Knight wasn’t lightning in a bottle for Yacht Club Games.
LumenTale: Memories of Trey may have a few quirks on the Switch, but I like Beehive Studios’ take on the Pokemon concept. Switch version reviewed. Review copy provided by company for testing purposes.
Coffee Talk Tokyo is another serving of the same experience Toge Productions served up before, and it’s still quite delicious.
Zero Parades: For Dead Spies is a narrative espionage RPG that weaves a complex web of interests and lets you approach it in creative ways.
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is not only an unusual platformer, its experimental nature makes it feel like an entirely new type of experience.
Mixtape feels a little Lo-Fi, but there are some good times to be had.
A glance at Wax Heads might make you think it’s about assisting record store customers, but it’s not just some shop management simulation.
While InKonbini: One Store Many Stories is pleasant, I wish there was more impact associated with some of my actions. Switch version reviewed.
A cute and cozy adventure with surprisingly dark moments at times. It's heavily based on Moominland Midwinter, but the game is enjoyable even without knowledge of the original work or series. PC version reviewed. Review copy provided by company for testing purposes.
Find Your Words is a charming game that gets you thinking about communicating, with conversations sometimes feeling like puzzles. At the same time, it might offer a window into a different kind of life. This title could get you thinking about accessibility and how easy to might be to reach out to others and how easily it could be to connect to other beyond the more typical methods of communication.

Darwin’s Paradox can be a lot of fun, but how much you enjoy it depends on how much you enjoy stealth games where dangerous enemies chase you.
Some narrative and battle system decisions mean Dosa Diva doesn’t feel as unique, touching, and exciting as past Outerloop games. Switch 2 version reviewed.
