Herodelic
If all folk tales were made like this I'd be happy. This has such a great atmosphere that really blends into the storytelling well. The bosses were interesting and the game as a whole never felt too difficult. It reminded me a lot of Little Nightmares meets Grimm's Fairytales.

This was a game I had always wanted to see through the end but would constantly put it down for other games throughout the years. I'm glad I finally finished it as I can now see why so many love this title. From the platforming to the battles, everything just felt so good. Nothing really felt unfair and usually when I thought it did, it was just me needing to focus better.

What I thought was just going to be a chill fishing game turned into more than just that. With a fun upgrade/research tree as well as interesting characters I had a lot of fun in this cosmic horror title. I geniunly enjoyed each of the islands and the variety they brought. I feel like the game was about the perfect length as well even after doing all side missions. I highly recommend this game if you like fishing minigames, cosmic horror, or sailing the wide open sea.

Terra Nil is pretty original in that you restore nature and fauna instead of building cities. When I played the Next Fest demo months ago I fell in love with the puzzle aspect to this and it's great to see how much has been added. It can get a little tricky if you aim to have nice looking maps but it does not mean much to the actual completion.
The negative I've seen many talk about is the length of the game and while it is short I did enjoy my time with the 8 maps. This is the kind of game that is just waiting for more content to get added and I'm curious to see where it goes next.

This game captures the innocence of adventure that I find not often portrayed as well as it does in this. The detail in the towns, dialogue, and bosses was fantastic and I highly recommend this game if you are looking for a great RPG from the golden era.
The battle system is different than other RPGs but it works so well that it makes me wish more games did something similar. This game being available with it's sequel on the Switch makes it a lot easier to play this.

While not as charming as the first title I loved the dialogue of the party and the locations looked great. I felt the difficulty was fair and the battle system was slightly improved as well.
DDLC is a game that I somehow avoided spoiling for myself after all this time. I'm glad I did as this game really surprised me in a good way. While it can be hard to recommend this game to some due to it's nature I'd say this is a story worth experiencing. I haven't played many visual novels but this makes me want to explore more.

As someone who started to grow tired of deck building games this one really got me in ways I didn't think it would. What I thought was going to be spooky Slay the Spire turned out to be an exciting ride that was really unexpected in many ways.

One of the best games I have played in quite some time. From the flight controls to the sense of wonder I felt from exploration I felt this game really lives up to the hype well.
