“A truly engrossing RPG, The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon is the best game in the Calvard arc yet and a must-play for series fans!”

“INAZUMA ELEVEN: Victory Road may have been years in the making, but it was absolutely worth the wait. A massive game with plenty to do, and one fans of the franchise absolutely have to play.”

“Though there is not much remastering, Sacred 2 Remaster stays faithful to the original release. Despite being somewhat dated and lacking multiplayer on consoles, there is still fun to be had in this sprawling action RPG.”

“If you like clever puzzles, escape rooms, or co-op games that will have you thinking, Escape Simulator 2 is a no-brainer and is absolutely worthy of your time.”

“A niche RPG packed with pop culture references and fourth-wall-breaking humour, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1+ may not be a stand-out title, but it sure can be a fun one.”

“Whilst Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: SISTERS GENERATION just doesn't do enough to make it feel like its own separate game, there's still some enjoyment to be had with this light-hearted RPG.”

“Despite a lack of innovation, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3: V Generation still managed to charm me with its colourful cast of characters and engaging battle system.”

“An adventure that is unintentionally comedic at best, and downright broken at its worst. Some fun moments during combat do shine through, but without some much needed updates, this is one to steer clear of.”

“A beautifully designed title with an engaging narrative, Heading Out is definitely a journey worth experiencing.”

“A fun, nostalgia-fuelled romp through three classic platformers. Whilst they are dated, the extra features alleviate some issues found in the original versions.”

“A bland, repetitive roguelike that had the potential to be something far greater. Scar-Lead Salvation is disappointing in almost every aspect.”

“A game that should have released 20 years ago, Captain Blood is a generic hack-and-slash that does little to innovate. That said, it certainly has its charms, and there is some fun to be had.”

“As simulator games go, Pets Hotel isn't one I'd recommend. Too many repetitive jobs and lack of polish make this a chore to play.”

“Despite getting some enjoyment out of it, Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator quickly became both monotonous and irritating thanks to the driving sequences. A disappointing simulator that just doesn't live up to its potential.”

“Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero is a superb SRPG that every fan of the genre needs to play. Its complex battle system and engaging story make this an absolute blast to play through!”

“Besiege's physics-based experimental mayhem is a lot of fun for a low price. If you've yet to play this on PC or Xbox, now is the perfect time to get creating!”

“A definite recommendation for Fairy Tail fans, Fairy Tail 2 has its issues, mainly with pacing, but the overall package is an enjoyable journey with a beloved cast of characters.”

“A fairly standard roguelike, [REDACTED] is nevertheless a fun, if brief, return to Black Iron Prison. Just with a much more colourful, flashy aesthetic!”

“As mech games go, MechWarrior 5: Clans is an easy-to-recommend title full of action and drama. It may take itself too seriously, but this is still a brilliant sci-fi adventure.”

“An incredibly simple RTS, The Unexpected Quest is best left unexplored.”
