I went in without any expectations, good or bad, just a hunch that I may like the game based on some surface level genre observations. That hunch turned out to be more than correct; not long after starting out I found myself absolutely enthralled by the style, combat, and characters of CRYMELIGHT, not realizing just how much time was melting away until I looked up at the clock and realized I should have gone to bed several hours before. This was one of the most enjoyable times I've had with a game in quite a while. It might not be for everyone, and I know a good deal of people aren't fond of roguelikes, but if that's not a deterrent for you, do NOT skip this game.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer existing at all is a real surprise, but the fact that it's such a fantastic and fun arcade racer is the true miracle here. While the game is indubitably difficult, and will challenge your abilities and patience, there's a genuine masterpiece of a racing game under the hood that deserves your attention. While I wasn't a fan of the implementation of roguelike mechanics, Galactic Racer outshines those complaints for me, and presents a fantastic, high-octane experience that should delight any fan of Star Wars racing games.
Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival feels like a 2010 game in the best possible way, boasting a beautiful presentation and some of the most gruesome scenery I have ever seen in a video game. It combines elements of BioShock and Resident Evil into a wonderful cocktail of what makes both series so iconic. While certain mechanics feel a bit dated, none of them drag down the overall experience. I truly hope we see Saber Interactive take another stab at classic horror franchises to give them new life.
Croc 2: Kingdom of the Gobbos is a charming platformer finally realized into what it was always meant to be. With dozens of unique stages and secrets to find, it is easy to jump back into time and time again. It is a heartfelt love letter to fans, and a great title for newcomers alike.
Cotton Reboot! High Tension! is an excellent shoot 'em up and a worthy successor to Reboot! While it can seem a bit overwhelming at first, its easy-to-pick-up-and-play nature ensures everyone can have a fun time while offering deep, rewarding gameplay for players looking to master it. Packed with multiple game modes, varied difficulty settings, and a unique roster of characters, it delivers exceptional replay value, which is everything a fan of the genre could ask for.
Destroy All Humans! is absolutely worth your time and money. If you have fond memories of the original, I have no doubts that this remake will impress you with its faithfulness to recreating that wonderful energy from Pandemic Studios' 2005 cult classic. If you've never played a Destroy All Humans! game, there's no better place to jump in than right here. Just go in with an open mind - it will give Crypto an easier time harvesting it.
If you like games about building and managing amusement parks, I definitely recommend Planet Coaster 2; it's a pretty solid one.
Cotton Reboot! is a fantastic reimagining of the fan-favorite classic that started it all. Its fresh coat of paint and new features breathe new life into the title, while the inclusion of the original game serves as a very welcome bonus. It may not take itself too seriously, but it still delivers tight, rewarding shoot 'em up gameplay that will satisfy longtime fans and series newcomers alike.
Final Fantasy Resonance is an unforgettable return to the golden age of turn-based RPGs and HD-2D at its absolute finest.
Stupid Never Dies is a solid debut title for GPTRACK50. Injected with '90s punk rock DNA, the game features an addictive gameplay loop, engaging characters, and unique transformation mechanics. It is pure, dumb fun that makes it easy to jump back in time and time again.
Toy Story: Retro Roundup is a great collection of the Toy Story and A Bug's Life titles that defined many of our childhoods, as well as a perfect introduction for a new generation. While some games included are a bit hit-or-miss, others are all-time classics and are just as fun as many of us remember!
Toy Story 3 Complete Edition is a fun reminder of what it means to be a kid again. With its fresh coat of paint, signature Toy Box mode, and countless ways to play, it is a game that is perfect for the whole family.
If you miss the good old days when you could sit down with a solid game over a single weekend rather than turning it into a month-long chore—games that played well and left you wanting more rather than growing monotonous—Okko The Exiled will surely deliver.
Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered is a must-have for fans of the original, as well as a great starting point for anyone looking to jump into the mainline series that spawned so many spin-offs and licensed titles. With impressive visuals, dozens of playable characters, a fun co-op mode, and countless hours of content, it provides the classic experience so many fell in love with back in the early 2000s, thoughtfully refined for modern platforms.
DuckTales: Remastered is the ideal way to bring back a vintage title like this. Capcom's NES original is beloved, but WayForward's vibrant new art style and soundtrack breathe fresh life into the game and make it feel surprisingly contemporary in some ways. The gameplay does wear thin after a little while, but with the game being so brief, you should be able to complete it before you're really getting bored. Whether you're nostalgic for DuckTales or just wanting a nice, breezy, little platformer, I recommend checking out DuckTales: Remastered.
Mexican Ninja is a surprisingly good time, full of combos, upgrades, and a funny, wonderful art direction that will keep players saying "one more run." It also helps that the setting is extremely unique, constantly making you look around the world, ask yourself, "Do Japan and Mexico go together?", and then tell yourself, "Yes, they do!" I recommend checking out Mexican Ninja if you like beat-'em-ups or just roguelikes in general!
The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival is an okay beat 'em up based on AMC's version of the series. While the game employs some nice and unique ideas, its unbalanced difficulty and sometimes awkward gameplay hold it back. Fans of the show might enjoy a single playthrough or two, but others have little reason to look its way.
Culdcept: The First Saturn Tribute is an okay port of the classic that started it all. While Culdcept itself is a blast to play, the lack of modern features like online play is disappointing, and nothing has been done to address the issues that plagued the original release. Those looking for more Culdcept to play might want to consider picking it up, but everyone else would be better off playing a different entry in the series instead.
Dumb Ways to Build is a fun little title and a great way to kill time with friends. Chaos will surely ensue, and you'll have plenty of laughs along the way, but solo players will be left in the dark. It is easy to recommend to those who have others to play with, but everyone else might want to pass on this one.
Whether you're a fan of the first one, like management games, or just want something that's both cozy and has a healthy dose of spooky silliness, absolutely pick up Graveyard Keeper 2, it did not disappoint in the slightest.
