“Awaken: Astral Blade is a beautifully designed Metroidvania with fast-paced combat. Exploring is fun, but the storytelling and some gameplay mechanics could use some additional work. Still, it’s good enough to show Father who’s boss.”

“Tomba! Special Edition is a must-buy for fans of classic PlayStation titles. Even with the minor gameplay inconveniences, the extra content and the ability to save anywhere make this version a clear improvement over the original. So jump in there and throw some pigs!”

“Veritus is an enjoyable adventure using Game Boy Color style graphics and early Zelda gameplay mechanics. Its soundtrack and fair price adds more impact, making it well worth the pickup to your gaming library.”

“Noreya: The Gold Project is an enjoyable 2D pixel game, but its framerate issues and combat limitations may prevent players from sticking around long enough to collect all the gold. Even so, there’s fun to be had here.”

“Cyber Citizen Shockman Zero is a fun trip to the ‘90s with its beat ‘em up gameplay and rockin’ soundtrack. It’s well worth the price if you’re a fan of the Super Nintendo days.”

“Whether you are a veteran to the Bubble Bobble series or a newcomer, Parasol Stars is a classic title that’s fun for all to enjoy. Grab your parasol and jump in.”

“Terra Memoria is a unique turn-based RPG with various styles of gameplay mixed very well for a delicious treat. Its simple RPG elements may be too easy for some, but it's cozy enough to enjoy in front of a campfire.”

“Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution is entertaining and has a large number of things to do, but at the same time, it feels too easy and has some visual hiccups. Who knew making a game could be so demanding!”

“Rainbow Cotton has fun value, but there are some areas that can be improved upon to make the gameplay experience better. Still, fans of rail shooters should fly on this inexpensive and HD broom ride. Now soar and get those Willows!”

“Felix the Cat is a hidden treasure from the glory days of the ‘90s that’s been forgotten until now. Players who enjoy classic titles and platformers should give Felix a whirl.”

“Bakery Simulator feels like a beefed-up mini game you'd find in another mid-tier title. While there are fun elements, some gameplay mechanics and technical issues indicate that the recipe needs to be adjusted. In the meantime, think carefully before opening up shop.”

“Demon Slayer: Sweep the Board! is a fun interactive board game that fans of the series can enjoy. However, an underwhelming amount of mini games and restrictive issues online prevent it from competing at the top of the genre. Even so, this game is worth a roll.”

“Match Village is a fun, small casual game built by a solo developer. However, issues like camera control make it challenging for players to enjoy it more. Still, it’s a pleasant experience in short bursts. Match away!”

“Lords of Exile is a blast of the past and feels like a spiritual successor to the original Castlevania. It looks and plays like the popular title, including those cheap knock-back deaths. It’s another hidden gem you’ll want to pick up. Draw your blade and take revenge!”

“Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore fully grasps the style of the CD-i games with its art, music, and gameplay. There are minor flaws like becoming overpowered against enemies, but it’s worth adventuring for kicks. You can do it, princess!”

“KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World! Love For These Clothes Of Desire! is an entertaining visual novel with more interaction than expected. Plus, its hysterical dialogue and characters make you feel like you’re watching a new season of KonoSuba. So give your favorite KonoSuba character some love. The perfect outfit awaits!”

“Dimension Tripper Neptune: TOP NEP is a very short but fun title. If you have a thirst for a quick rail shooter, it’s worth the pickup.”

“SETTRIS is an entertaining puzzle game that mixes Tetris and Perfection but lacks gameplay options to extend its replay value.”

“My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! -Pirates of the Disturbance- is a strong extension of the original series. With returning voice actors from the original anime series, a well-written original story, and a whimsical soundtrack, it’s a great visual novel to pick up. Your fun fate awaits!”

“Air Twister is a fun adventure to go through once, but fending off an alien invasion more than that feels more like a chore. At least you can ride a giant swan for a short time.”
