“The Séance of Blake Manor is an intriguing detective game with a horror twist that makes every minute count (quite literally). Though it can be a bit wordy at times, it is definitely worth the price of admission.”

“Strange Antiquities is an excellent mix of subtle dread and fascinating puzzles. The core loop will have you hooked, while the setting will keep you coming back! Able to be played in short bursts or in a few sittings, it is a great addition to any library.”

“The Knightling is a wholesome and beautiful action platformer that hearkens back to the PlayStation 2 era. Great humour, amazing movement controls, and fun combat make this a title you won't want to miss, though there is still room for a few QoL updates and patches.”

“Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition brings a classic back for modern audiences. While it retains some of the idiosyncrasies of its time and can be a bit complex, it's still well worth a try, especially with the potential of Steam Workshop!”

“Many Nights a Whisper is a thought-provoking game that asks you to meditate on your own thoughts on ethics while also weighing the responsibility of granting wishes. While it could do with more replayability, it's definitely worth a look!”

“MainFrames is, simply, a lovely retro-themed puzzle platformer with humour, challenge, and some brain-straining mechanics to master. While not easy, the satisfying controls and charming world will make it hard to put down.”

“This is a game about digging a hole in the ground and it's just as fun as it sounds, if not more!”

“With a mix of stale combat, rough translation, and no saving, Ship of Mist has an interesting core concept, but the execution falls flat to the point that I cannot recommend.”

“Escape from Mystwood Mansion is a fun and snacky puzzler with varying brain teasers and a fun, if mostly absent, meta-plot. Though the length is on the short side, it's as long as it needs to be. I just wish there was an inventory.”

“Moon Mystery has many fun locales and segments, but struggles to find its own identity among them. The gunplay is fun and fast, however, so if you can look past its flaws, you may enjoy the ride!”

“The Iron Rig adds an intriguing side story to experience while you revisit old locations hunting new prizes. While a bit repetitious for seasoned sailors, the DLC does add some fun upgrades to aim for and characters to meet.”

“Mexico, 1921. A Deep Slumber. is an interesting look into the history of Mexico from the eyes of a normal citizen. The camera mechanics are great and the plot seems interesting, but it is let down by some major bugs.”

“Talisman: Digital 5th Edition breathes new life into this classic board game. The new art and animations are fantastic, without losing the signature style. With the less harsh events and streamlined rules, you may even finish a game in a session!”

“Kill Knight manages to mix hectic and ultra-responsive arcade gameplay with a fun layer of resource management and strategy to create a great challenge to bite into. The visuals are splendid, the enemies never stop coming, and the battle is glorious!”

“That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles is a fun enough sidescrolling adventure with some city-building elements thrown in, but is let down by a lacklustre execution, repetitive combat, and a relatively high price.”

“A collection of some of the best metroidvanias in one package, this is a definite recommendation to both fans and newcomers. Though some minor issues hamper it a bit, they are severely outnumbered by the good.”

“Riven is a stunning reimagining of the original title. The visuals are beautiful and the puzzles are as challenging as ever, requiring a lot of thought, focus, and attempts. Definitely not for everyone, but an experience I don't regret!”

“Though hampered by some feature bloat and minor technical issues, Creatures of Ava is a beautiful game about empathy and understanding. The animals are adorable, the characters are fun, and the sound design is top-notch! Yes, you can pet almost everything.”

“Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip is a hilarious journey with platforming, driving, puzzles, and laughs aplenty. While it may not last long, it is definitely a turbo trip you won't regret taking!”

“The Last Spell - Dwarves of Runenber adds a new race and weapons with fun abilities and new combinations to try, in addition to a real endurance match of a map. A definite recommend, though note the short length.”
