Blade Chimera feels like a breath of fresh air for the Metroidvania genre, standing out with its gameplay and design choices—though keyboard players may want to grab a controller for this one.
Age of Darkness: Final Stand is an instant favorite of mine, cleverly improving and expanding upon tried-and-true RTS mechanics, adding co-op multiplayer, and delivering it all in an awesome dark fantasy RPG package. Grab a friend and face the darkness in what could very well be the best RTS game on the market.
Builders of Egypt is an ambitious but slightly underwhelming city builder with a unique Egyptian theme. Though it suffers from clunky mechanics, slow pacing, and repetitive gameplay, its fair price makes it worth a try for fans of the genre.
Warden’s Will has some great ideas and serves as a fun roguelike you can play solo or with friends. However, a lack of depth and variety makes its longevity questionable, and players might find themselves burnt out after a few hours.
Project Tower stands out in some places, namely with its gorgeous level design and bullet-hell boss fights, but leaves something to be desired with its core mechanic, which feels underutilized and unnecessarily restrictive. The game is worth checking out if you’re interested, but the short experience may feel a bit railroaded.
The Thing: Remastered captures the essence of a timeless horror game and gives it a fresh coat of paint alongside some quality-of-life improvements for a modern audience.
Deathless. Tales of Old Rus. delivers a great deck-building roguelike experience, thanks to its mastery and twists on the genre’s mechanics, its fantastic art and characters, and the unique way it brings its Slavic mythology setting to life.
The Spirit of the Samurai is the most incredible Metroidvania title I have ever played, featuring amazing stop-motion animation, fantastic storytelling with horror elements, and fun combat—all coming together to create a game you’ll easily love as much as I do.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1-2 Remastered delivers a graphically remastered version of two legendary games, perfectly preserved for fans to enjoy. While the experience is a true remaster, dedicatedly faithful to the original, it left this reviewer hungry for a Soul Reaver remake.
Among Ashes is a subversive horror game, capitalizing on the classic fear of being alone at your computer with your back to the door. While some elements fall short, horror fans should definitely give this indie title a try.
Marvel Rivals has hooked me back into the hero shooter genre with its huge roster of characters, exciting gameplay, and excellent sense of style.
Though it could use a bit more polish, Stars in the Trash is a beautifully crafted game showcasing a love for old-school animation and pets. It’s an easy choice for fans of both.
Neon Blood stands out for its art, featuring incredible environments, great pixel art, and incredible hand-drawn cutscenes. However, the rest of the gameplay and narrative features a disappointing lack of depth, preventing the game from reaching its full potential.
With its explosive high momentum level design, creative visual design, and a dash of irreverent humor, ANTONBLAST is an exciting platformer that will keep you coming back for more destruction and mayhem.
30 Birds is a beautiful and surreal experience—a thoughtfully created puzzle game with a unique setting and incredible visuals. This hidden gem should be your next purchase if you enjoy point-and-click adventures, puzzles, or art.
With its beautiful pixel art, great humor, and outstanding voice acting, Loco Motive is a captivating blend of next-gen and yesteryear, taking everything we love about classic point-and-click adventures and giving it a fresh, modern spin.
Sorry We’re Closed is a remarkable fusion of punk aesthetics, survival horror mechanics, and deeply authentic character-driven storytelling. Its unapologetic blend of style and substance, from its diverse cast to its unique visual flair, makes it a standout in a genre often dominated by darker, more serious tones.
In Sink is a clever co-op puzzle game that challenges two players with exciting and difficult, but not frustrating, puzzles. Its clever use of a language-free puzzle system allows anyone to enjoy the game, making it a fun way to meet new friends or connect with old ones.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a fun co-op roguelike; however, it shows the limitations of a straight mobile port and could use some work, both on the depth of its content and its controls.
Planet Coaster 2 excels in amusement park management, presenting a superb combination of gameplay depth and accessibility. You’re sure to enjoy the ride in this brilliant coaster tycoon.
