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.
