Set in the Wild West, Arco offers really challenging but entertaining action. Your own choices alter the story impressively, although in the end revenge is at the center of everything. The charming pixel graphics combined with the truly versatile content guarantees an original title that you will enjoy playing for a long time.

There's pretty much nothing wrong with Astro Bot. Sure, its story is a rather shallow excuse to bounce from one place to another, but the lack of a script is compensated by the fun and crazy surprises. Team Asobi's creation is a versatile, beautiful and, above all, a great platformer for all ages.

Concord is a baseline game that does nothing poorly, but it doesn't stand out in any area, either. In theory, it should have found at least some kind of audience, but it didn't. After two weeks online, the servers are dead, even though the game itself is just fine. I have a bad feeling about this.

Nobody Wants to Die probably won't stick in anyone's memory for too long, but considering its price of just over twenty bucks, it can't really be called a bad purchase. If you're looking for a slightly smaller-scale experience between all the massive quadruple-A releases, this five-hour noir rollercoaster could be a solid alternative.

Dustborn starts as a promising narrative road trip but gets muddled by unnecessary genre-mixing. While the world-building and character interactions shine, the blend of rhythm gameplay, arcade combat, and story elements weakens the overall experience.

Small nitpicks aside, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble is way better than the previous Monkey Ball game and more importantly: great fun! The single player campaign might be the best in the series, while the multiplayer is lacking a bit with fun modes and lower frame.

Thank Goodness You're Here! is a delightfully absurd slap-happy adventure set in a surreal British village, where chaos and comedy go hand in hand. While its gameplay is minimal, the hand-drawn visuals, eccentric humor, and brilliant voice acting make it a uniquely entertaining experience.

Kingdom Hearts is one of the most formidable multiverse stories in gaming history, and this extensive remaster package presents one of the best deals around. Not all of the games have aged gracefully, but the best ones have stood the test of time. They're classics for a reason.

Flintlock might be overtly familiar, but it's also an honest God of War clone with imagination and ideas to spare. For the price, it's a welcome addition to the genre, one that should tide you over until the next big thing comes along.

The art design and style are top notch, so it's a shame the rest of the content can't live up to them. Cartoonish Schim is by no means a bad game, but its gameplay and offerings do not support the genius concept.

Ubisoft has received a lot of criticism over the years for various reasons, but Beyond Good & Evil – 20th Anniversary Edition is almost perfect restoration of the 2004 classic: the studio has clearly invested a great deal of time, effort, and love to this project. An experience that attempts to reconcile a thematically challenging narrative framework with air hockey mini-games and Jamaican rhinos – surely no one can deny that such a game has its place in today’s gaming lineup?

Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD brings the 3DS ghost-hunting adventure to the Switch with a fresh coat of paint and the same charming, spooky gameplay. While the lack of new content may frustrate returning players, newcomers will find a polished and entertaining haunted romp.

The Final Shape has several staggeringly annoying design choices and raid encounters, and solo adventurers rarely feel welcome. But it's also full of welcome fanservice, tender goodbyes, and a sense of scale this long story has seen before. If it's a farewell, it's well worth it.

Indika tells an arresting story about humanity and the influence of religion on a sensitive individual. Nothing in life is black and white, and fortunately many things have changed in the world of the 21st century. Still, several of the game's themes are still relevant. It's a shame that a few sections break the arc of the otherwise intact story and take away the best edge from the thought-provoking title.

Despite some nitpicks, the System Shock remake is absolutely stunning, and makes this 30-year-old sci-fi classic feel fresh once again. There’s something mysteriously captivating about exploring Citadel, despite its oppressive and unique atmosphere that it’s quite difficult to put into words. Nevertheless, this remake is great for newcomers like myself, but also fans of the original.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door returns in a stunning HD remake that preserves the charm, humor, and tactical depth of the GameCube classic. While new content is minimal, the visual overhaul, quality-of-life improvements, and timeless gameplay make this a must-play for both newcomers and longtime fans.

Eiyuden Chronicles is the spiritual successor to the Suikoden series, and a heartbreaking farewell to Yoshitaka Murayama, who passed away unexpectedly earlier this year. As such, it's a bittersweet experience: one that thrills and excites, only to remind us that we'll never see something like it again.

The roughly six-hour-long campaign of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is a commendably well-written and audiovisually stunning work, but its gameplay leaves something to be desired. While I am a fan of story-driven and more compact experiences, I would've liked to give Senua a bit more room to explore the harsh and unadorned, yet oh-so-beautiful Iceland. Maybe I’m alone in my opinion — who knows — but the lack of freedom inevitably affects the final score.

Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is a short and quirky mystery adventure starring a down-on-his-luck duck with a knack for deduction and dramatic quacking. While the gameplay is light and the case small-scale, its charming humor, voice acting, and cozy runtime make it a delightful enough snack of a game.

Endless Ocean Luminous offers a tranquil underwater experience with hundreds of marine species to scan and admire, especially enjoyable in multiplayer. However, its repetitive gameplay, lack of meaningful progression, and cryptic objectives leave solo players adrift in a sea of missed potential.
