ONI: Road to Be the Mightiest Oni is a mostly charming little adventure game that suffers from repetitive design.
Alice Gear Aegis CS is a solid, if simple, arena fighter with great mecha musume characters. But its thin storytelling doesn't endear players to a world that's largely been Japan-exclusive until now.
Bayonetta Origins is a wonderful game that shows how Cereza and Cheshire, and their friendship, grow through both gameplay and its story.
Paranormasight is a well-crafted mystery-horror that leans more into the mystery while keeping things light with a snappy script.
Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is an unnerving, cohesive game filled with murderous ghosts you'll both fear and pity.
If you've kept up with the events in Crossbell, Erebonia, and Liberl over the last decade, then you'll find Trails to Azure will be a joy to play.
Little Witch Nobeta combines the fun of a shooter with the difficulty of a soulslike with an anime sense of style in a natural way.
The Smile Alchemist is one of those unexpected KEMCO games, as it brings Asobox's pleasant alchemy life simulator to a wider audience.
Redemption Reapers tries to evoke a sense of desperate, skin-of-your-teeth battle, but succeeds more in adding tension to its combat than its narrative.
Odencat's Meg's Monster is a brief, pleasant adventure that takes rather obvious cues from Undertale.
Grim Guardians: Demon Purge is a good snack for people who enjoy Inti Creates titles, the Bloodstained: Circle of the Moon spin-offs, or games that are Metroidvania-adjacent.
Metroid Prime Remastered is a faithful adaptation of a timeless classic, and a seminal lesson on how to remaster a game.
The Crimson Flower That Divides: Lunar Coupling is a game that puts its characters through hell and features a localization fraught with issues, but its heroine is absolutely wonderful.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe further embraces the idea of embracing an introductory multiplayer experience with friends, especially given the existence of Magolor Helper and Merry Magoland.
Octopath Traveler 2 is one of those sequels that builds on the original in every way, remaining accessible even with eight stories to tell.
At its best when its focus is divided, Like a Dragon: Ishin! is a fun Bakumatsu sandbox. It doesn't have the engrossing standout minigame like the cabaret or business management challenges of previous titles, and its time period means it also doesn't pack a fun arcade. But its jack-of-all-trades approach still resonates.
Wild Hearts is a distinctive and entertaining take on the familiar monster-hunting formula, one that sets itself apart with gadget-focused building elements.
Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is a worthy successor and end to the beloved rhythm game franchise, and serves as a love letter to its OSTs.
Labyrinth of Galleria is an engaging dungeon crawler RPG that lets you use its many systems to get to the bottom of its mystery.
Forspoken impresses with its movement and central narrative, but is sold short by annoying banter and open-world meandering.
