A time‑sensitive investigative adventure with strong atmosphere and intriguing ideas quickly collapses under technical issues, unclear objectives, and punishing design choices. Even after patches, the experience remains more frustrating than rewarding, making a second playthrough hard to justify.

A brutally demanding action‑adventure tests reflexes, patience and determination with some of the most precise combat in the genre. The steep difficulty curve may push many players to their limits, but mastering its systems delivers an unmatched sense of triumph.

A cozy, low‑stress platformer charms with its handcrafted aesthetic, playful transformations and gentle pacing. The lack of co‑op and only modest additions over the Wii original limit its appeal for returning players, but newcomers will find a warm and delightful adventure.

A side‑scrolling BMX trick‑fest offers plenty of challenges, dozens of levels, and a fast retry loop, but the fun quickly fades due to stiff controls, repetitive design and a frustrating tutorial.

A short, quirky adventure mixes simple platforming, light puzzles, and wonderfully odd humour in a minimalist, colourful world. The controls can feel imprecise and the experience is over quickly, but its charm, personality, and playful tone make it an enjoyable little diversion.

A small‑town murder mystery with strong emotional themes shows flashes of atmosphere and sincerity, but is held back by stiff controls, technical issues, and uneven pacing. Despite its heartfelt intentions, the experience struggles to maintain tension or polish, leaving the final impression more muted than memorable.

A top‑down stealth‑shooter built around darkness and sudden ambushes offers a fun concept that shines brightest in local multiplayer. The single‑player content is thin and online matchmaking unreliable, but with friends in the same room the chaotic hide‑and‑seek gunfights become genuinely entertaining.

A collection of timing‑based mini‑games built around the rhythm of a ticking second hand offers a quirky premise but very limited long‑term appeal. The novelty wears off quickly due to repetitive gameplay, sparse content and a presentation that never quite rises above the level of a curiosity.

A refined stealth‑assassination sandbox delivers some of the series’ best-designed levels, offering enormous freedom, playful experimentation, and endlessly replayable scenarios. A few technical hiccups and a familiar formula don’t diminish how satisfying it is to plan, improvise, and execute the perfect hit.

A playful ghost‑hunting adventure mixes light puzzle‑solving, charming animations and a delightfully spooky atmosphere that never becomes too intense. The experience is short and mechanically simple, but its personality and polished presentation make it an easy game to enjoy from start to finish.

A polished return to classic action‑platforming blends tight controls, colourful stages, and the clever new Double Gear system to refresh the familiar formula. A few difficulty spikes and uneven boss designs don’t overshadow how energetic, responsive, and satisfying the adventure feels overall.

A story‑driven prequel expands the world with a more focused narrative, refined combat, and a streamlined structure that makes exploration feel smoother than in the base game. While mandatory community‑level grinding can slow the pacing, the emotional weight, polished presentation, and generous amount of content make it a standout expansion in its own right.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a modern remake of Yakuza 2 that blends crime storytelling with humor, energetic combat, and a huge variety of side activities. Some design elements feel slightly dated compared to contemporary open‑world titles but as a whole this package is a treat.

Mini Metro is a minimalist metro‑building puzzle game where players design and expand rail networks across real‑world cities, balancing growing passenger demand with limited resources. Its simple visuals, escalating challenge, and short, satisfying play sessions make it engaging in bursts, even if its straightforward concept doesn’t sustain long marathon sessions.

Here we have a hand‑drawn, point‑and‑click adventure that follows a grumpy, sharp‑tongued private investigator solving a murder case in a quirky, colorful world. Its traditional puzzle design, humorous dialogue, and distinctive comic‑book aesthetic create a charming throwback experience, even though its structure and occasional trial‑and‑error moments can slow the pacing.

Guacamelee! 2 is a colorful metroidvania‑style action‑platformer set in a humorous, Mexican‑inspired world. Its fluid controls, lively art style, expanded chicken transformation, challenging optional rooms, wrestling-inspired fighting and four‑player local co‑op create a playful, energetic adventure that offers plenty to explore and master. Highly recommended!

After the delightful Stick it to the Man Zoink Games returns with Flipping Death that sadly does not live up to its predecessor. The art is charming and the voice acting is lively but the game suffers from clumsy controls, repetitive structure, and a story that never fully engages.

Overcooked 2 is a fast‑paced cooperative cooking game set in a series of chaotic, creatively designed kitchens where players prepare dishes under constantly shifting conditions. Its colourful presentation, simple controls, inventive level gimmicks and energetic local multiplayer make it a standout party game, while the solo experience remains noticeably less engaging.

Nintendo released Captain Toad from the Wii U and added a little extra to the already fun package. The game is a puzzle‑platformer built around compact diorama‑like levels where players rotate the environment, solve spatial challenges, and collect hidden treasures.

The Lion's Song is praised highly and after playing the game I understand why. No support for touchscreen or using Joy-con as a mouse is a little downside, but otherwise this is pure art.
