“Old World is a turn-based strategy game made by people who previously worked on games like Civilization. Old World mixes Civilization gameplay elements with Crusader Kings' story events and characters and creates a unique experience for the fans. The game has some issues in the UI, and its graphics are a little bit outdated. Also, it can be overwhelming for newcomers. All and All, It is a well-made strategy game that I can easily recommend to the genre's hardcore fans.”

“Beautiful Desolation is an exciting blend of point-and-click adventure and classic isometric RPG. The game features a well-written story that sets place in a bizarre world that is somehow familiar and strange at the same time. There are some problems with the game's RPG elements, and the control system is not well implemented in console versions. Anyways, it is an interesting game with a good story and beautiful audio-visual experience, which I can recommend to that point and click fans.”

“The Wild at Heart is a heartwarming, beautiful game inspired by the gameplay mechanics of the Pikmin series. The game uses a succulent watercolor art design that transcends the overall experience. There are some minor problems in resource management mechanics and control systems. Still, overall, it is a great experience that I can recommend to almost anybody interested in puzzle, adventure, and exploration games.”

“Papetura is a beautiful art game inspired by Amanita Design titles like Machinarium and Botanicula. This game takes place in an exquisite paper world. It has a minimalistic story that tries to convey some essential concepts and succeeds in that manner. Papetura is a short yet lovely game that anyone interested in abstract games should play.”

“Kaze and the Wild Masks is a beautiful platformer game, heavily inspired by the Donkey Kong series. Kaze and the Wild Masks succeed in giving the players a challenging experience by following fundamental game design rules set by the Donkey Kong series. It doesn’t add anything new to the genre and may feel a lot like old-school games. All and all, I can recommend this game to old-school platformer fans.”

“El Hijo: A Wild West Tale is a simple stealth and puzzle game focusing on the puzzle aspect. It has a straightforward story and features simplistic game mechanics that make it a more suitable game for gamers without prior experience in the genre. There are some problems in the rationale of some gameplay elements like shadows, but it is straightforward yet enjoyable.”

“SpellForce 3: Fallen God is a unique blend of RPG and RTS genre that is built upon on great foundations of the main SpellForce 3 game. It offers an exciting story featuring Trolls, and you can enjoy its narrative even if you didn’t play the main game. The game can be somewhat overwhelming for someone who doesn’t have any RTS and RPG genre background. At all, despite minor issues, it will be a pleasant experience for RTS fans.”

“AquaNox: Deep Descent is a wasted effort to revive a unique underwater submarine shooter game. It features a somewhat good story, but it is not strong enough to convince you to continue the game. It’s gameplay core mechanics are also mediocre and are not very exciting. The graphics are too old for a late 8th gen game. The game can be enjoyable for some players, but I cannot generally recommend it.”

“Going Under is a charming Roguelite game with a satirical story about big tech companies that give the players a decent gameplay experience. It also features extensive difficulty settings that can help newcomers understand the core of the Roguelite genre. The game uses a unique art style that completely fits the theme. A low number of dungeons and some other issues can make the game a little boring after a few hours, but it is an enjoyable experience.”

“Fort Triumph is a well-made Tactical RPG game that mix fantasy elements with turn-based combat of XCOM, some aspects of Heroes of Might and Magic, and parody, and the result is an enjoyable potion. If you enjoy games like XCOM, Fort Triumph will be the right choice for you to experience the gameplay charm with fantasy elements.”

“Arc of Alchemist is an RPG game that had lots of potentials to be great but unfortunately, its different parts don’t match together well. There are problems in the combat system and some main RPG elements. The graphics also look outdated. Despite all this, You can still enjoy the game, but Idea Factory has many better RPG games than Arc of Alchemist.”

“Undead Horde is a fun game that succeeds in putting you in place of a Necromancer. The Gameplay mechanics make you feel like a real necromancer, and variety in different units that you can reanimate and RPG elements improve the overall experience of the player. The game has some technical graphical problems and may feel boring after some time, especially on the console/pc version, but, it is a good game that worth spending extra time on.”

“Disgaea 4 Complete+ is one of the best entries in the Disgaea franchise. It has an enchanting story with memorable and remarkable characters that make this game a very good choice for those SRPG players that seek an engaging story. It also offers a very deep and complex balanced combat system that makes it an excellent choice for fans. This complexity can make the game a bit inaccessible for newcomers. I can recommend this game to anyone who likes Tactical Role-Playing Games.”

“Rebel Cops is a good Tactical Strategy game, but it has flaws that prevent it from being a great game. The core gameplay mechanics are well-implemented but after some hours into the game, they feel boring and lack enough diversity. There is also some wrong game design decisions in terms of some difficulty elements that can make the game less attractive for some players. I can recommend this game to Tactical Strategy fans, but those who are new to this genre will probably have better options to start with.”

“The Forbidden Arts had a lot of potentials to be a good platformer but because of many technical issues in different parts and aspects of the game, it is far from being good. There are very annoying issues in gameplay like sloping down from flat surfaces that could simply irritate anyone after some time and there are also some parts in the game that seem very incomplete and redundant. There are other issues in terms of sound and technical aspect of graphics. The game has a good overall level design and the artistic aspect of graphics is also very good with a beautiful style, but unfortunately, these are not enough to make this game a good choice to play, because technical issues affected every elements if the game.”

“Mighty Switch Force! Collection includes four good platformer games. The level design has some flaws like being very simple in most levels but it is still a very enjoyable experience. The main problem of the collection is the short length of each game and so the sum of them is still not much. At all but in the end, Mighty Switch Force! Collection offers a good experience to platformer fans and worth to try.”

“Conan Unconquered is a defense based strategy game. This game had a lot of potential to become a very good real-time strategy game and is well-designed in some aspects. But some parts of the game like Economy System has a lot of balancing issues that prevents you from enjoying the game. The game is also overpriced and even one of the three heroes of the game are locked behind a paywall which is not acceptable for a 30$”

“The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince is one of the unique story-based games that can simply attract you. It has a fairly-tale themed story about a wolf that inadvertently blind a prince and then with the help of the forest witch, transform itself into a princess to help the prince get his sight back. The gameplay puzzles are standard but not very challenging and the game is also short in length, but in the other hand, it has very beautiful art design and music. While there are lots of blockbuster games out, experiencing this lovely and beautiful game is very delightful.”

“Neverout has very good idea of its puzzles, but the implementation of movement and the camera system ruined the experience. You will probably get Dizzy or motion sickness after playing the game –even in non-VR mode. I hadn't got motion sick even after hours of playing FPS games, but I got Dizzy after playing less than one hour in non-VR mode and I forced into playing it in small time intervals. In the end i must say that Neverout is a game with very good puzzles that also has various problems.”

“Graveyard Keeper is a management sim like Stardew Valley with a graveyard theme. The gameplay mechanics are vast and well-built but there are flaws and sophisticated systems that can make the game extremely boring for the first hours of play. However, If you bare the first hours of game, then it will become fun and you can enjoy it. The game has very good story potential but unfortunately it doesn’t use this potential and story is forgotten after the first hour. At all, If you like Stardrew Valley, you’ll probably enjoy Graveyard Keeper but my suggestion is waiting for about two months for balancing updates and then consider buying this game.”
