Don't miss out on Beyond Good & Evil. It's a great game that deserves to be played, and while I do have issues, some of which are not inherent to the game (like requiring Ubisoft Connect), it is well worth the price.
Rolling Hills: Make Sushi, Make Friends is as satisfying as great sushi. You'll have fun running a restaurant and making friends at a nice pace with very little to stop you.
Flame Keeper is a nice time, if short, but it feels like there could be more that could be done, held back by its own mechanics and lack of variety.
Go get Spiritfall. I'm flat-out telling you to because it's just that good. Even if you aren't familiar with its inspirations, you should go get it. It's easy to get into and mastery will come naturally. Don't sleep on this.
Pool Cleaning Simulator tries to be interesting, and it does work at times, but at the end of the day, it's more like doing chores than playing a game.
Lost in Tropics is barely a survival game and I can't even tell it was a roguelite. There are better games that will last you longer than three real weeks than the three in-game weeks this game asks of you.
Swarm Grinder is a good time but it does lack a little variety. You have to keep yourself engaged all throughout and there's plenty to do, but prepare for an actual grind to victory.
POOLS is not for the easily anxious, even if there's nothing in the water to pull you down. The sounds alone will make you fear the depths. You should
The Lost Legends of Redwall: Feasts & Friends is a nice and cosy game to play, but it's so bare-bones right now that I want seconds just to have my fill.
The METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol.1 is as solid as you can get with modern platforms, coming with a great selection of games and bonus features that can make new fans out of curious newbies.
V Rising makes being a vampire fun, with a great feeling of being both predator and prey. With plenty of challenges to face, both from the world and other players, alone or with friends.
Tents and Trees is a great example of a coffee or morning game to play and something to do after a long day of work.
Planet Crafter is a very peaceful, satisfying game worth dumping your hours into. It's a game you play to relax after a hard day's work, and what better way to show it than by turning a lifeless rock into somewhere you can call home?
Buckshot Roulette is short if you know what you're doing, but like any good gambling addiction, you can't help but come back for more.
Minishoot' Adventures is great, plain and simple. It's oozing charm from its art style and UI to gameplay and exploration. It's a game you want to complete 100%, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Outcast – A New Beginning is a fun time and something fans of the first game may enjoy. It has some issues, but it's worth experiencing and protecting Adelpha from anyone who wishes to destroy it.
Stolen Realm is a fun RPG to play with friends and by yourself, especially if you don't have the time or resources to set an entire campaign. Make sure you know what you're doing and you'll come out fine.
Pacific Drive is like a road trip: It requires a lot of preparation and planning, but the journey is always worth the experience. Just watch out for the radiation.
HELLDIVERS 2 is worth going through hell to experience its gameplay and world, but server issues and glitches will rain on that campaign. Still, there's nothing quite like diving in, feet first.
WRATH: Aeon of Ruin is a very fun time, but it's not for everyone. You'll find expansive levels and worthy challenges to conquer for those willing and ready to face what it offers.
