Mythforce is a dungeon roguelike for up to four players that feels ripped out the best of the 80s series of Saturday Morning Cartoons. It’s He-Man meets Battleborn in a way that truly kicks ass. However, it has a fare share of issues that can certainly hold it back.

Mugen Souls Z, is a Switch port of the 2013 original that provides a turn-based combat system, worlds to explore, and some pretty controversial fan serive that culminate in a game that simply isn’t fun and is one hell of a grind.

While I found its colorful and charming world largely impressive, with some fairly decent, if familiar, gameplay, my time with Byteland Overclocked was unfortunately buggy, broken, and ultimately disappointing. 

Lil Gator Game is built around the titular Lil Gator and his older sister. As the pair grew up, the older sibling would create a game for her younger brother, charging him with a quest that is very much inspired by The Legend of Zelda, even pointing out that the hero is often green, something that Lil Gator is very much excited about.

Immortals of Aveum is the debut game from Ascendant Studios. This first-person magical shooter may rely on a few tired tropes, but it ultimately provides a satisfying experience of swapping out guns for magical spells, with a cast that will certainly grow on you.

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is FromSoftware's return to the series, bringing its astounding modern art direction and technical experience on hand to produce a fast-paced and intense experience that while at times can be extremely challenging, refrains from simply just being Dark Souls with mechs.

While Sea of Stars impresses with an engaging series of combat mechanics, memorable characters, and some fun traversal systems, as well as some gorgeous visuals. the narrative built around it didn’t always keep my attention. 

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre does a remarkable job of bringing the 1974 classic to life. As the Slaughter Family hunts you down, you’ll need to outwit, outsmart, and out-dodge them in order to find the necessary tools needed to escape.

Adore takes the Pokémon formula of commanding a squad of monsters into an isometric adventure akin to Diablo or Torchlight. While its combat, progression, and style is fairly decent, generic missions, incredibly tiny text, and a grindy repetitive loop significantly hold it back.

Dros, an action puzzler that has you escaping a 40-floor tower, has moments of solid character work, hurmor, engaging puzzles, and while a few environmental assets can often get in the way, it nonetheless delivers a solid little adventure. 

Oceanhorn 2 is a prequel to the events of Monster of Uncharted Seas, placing you in the role of an unnamed hero destined to save the world. Join your allies in Trin, Gen, and Master Mayfair, and rise up against the Dark Army in this enjoyable, if flawed, Zelda-like.

As the new Floor Manager at Slimey’s, a bar that has four unique Slime Girls working their bodies to produce drinks, you’ll get to know the girl’s strengths and weaknesses and even get to know them a bit more personally.

Marble it Up! Ultra is a return to the world of Marble it Up! With a wealth of stages, unlocks, and goals to work towards, not to mention a whole multiplayer suite, being a colorful little marble has never been more fun.

Deck13 has largely made a name for themselves by adapting the Fromsoft formula across both 2014's Lords of the Fallen and their futuristic follow-up in The Surge. So when it was shown that the team would leave that formula behind in favor of a character action game, I was more than intrigued.

While the Sword and Fairy series has had limited exposure in the West, bringing characters from that series and mixing it up with a restaurant sim isn’t actually a bad idea. Given the cute nature of its visuals and concept, I fully expected to find a charming little adventure within its Inn, but ended up wishing I had booked elsewhere instead. 

Remnant II takes all the ideas that worked previously and doubles down on them to an extent that makes this a damn near-perfect sequel. While it doesn’t reinvent or add to the genre, Remnant II is nonetheless a damn impressive outing.

While countless beat-em up's have been released since Double Dragon's debut in 1987, few have provided as much variety and replayability as the latest entry in the series, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons. 

Exoprimal was a big surprise out of Capcom when it was first revealed. While its core foundation and gameplay is remarkably solid, the lack of additional game modes and variety can make the title fairly repetitive. Still, Exoprimal largely succeeds with engaging gameplay and a diverse cast of Exo-suit fighters.

While Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara continue the events of this young adventurer, it's a considerably different and drastically scaled-back journey, one built around Koa visiting numerous islands to complete a series of platforming trials put in place by the five Pirates of Mara.
