A beautiful and gorgeous game with a cast of well developed characters. Aloys journey is fantastic (even if not hitting the highs of Zero Dawn and a bit too familiar) and I am looking forward to the next installment in the Arc.

A game with a great world to explore and the first truly open world Pokemon game. Although a very buggy game, the loop and collection aspects were fun enough to play through with my daughter. I hope they iterate on this design for future games.

A wonderful top down 2d rpg from drinkbox. Bursting with great gameplay and music and just a joy to play through. One of the best indie games of 2022 and another hit from the devs.

A underdeveloped and boring game with very little build up. The game tries to evoke an emotional response from the player without showing you why you should care in the first place. A walking sim without a narrative is a disappointment and this game I would not recommend.

A strong second outing from Techland for this zombie open world RPG. The game has amazing traversal and is a joy to play. Narrative is a little underdeveloped and felt rushed in the later half, but this is still a must play for those who love open worlds to get lost in.

A short and sweet indie game with a nice atmosphere that doesn't quite give you enough to work towards. I walked away wanting more and I hope and feel that the next project if bigger in scope could be something special.

A cute and magical world with Kirby. This was the first game i finished alongside my daughter and was a delight to play through. Story is nothing but the game mechanics and world has that Nintendo charm and is well put together.

A awesome concept with a tertris roguelite and topdown action game that doesn't quite work or hit the mark. i walked away from this game with a mixed opinion and some things were done well but some things just didn't ever click and I was wishing it just dropped the Tetris raft block aspect.

Possibly one of the biggest surprises (thanks game pass) of 2022, this game had some great combat mixed with interesting stealth based 3rd person level design. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a very solid level based shooter with an interesting sandbox.

Just one more run is a phrase that perfectly summarizes vampire survivors. The top down game that has almost created a genre onto itself (auto-battler) is such a joy to play that I had to pry myself away to focus on other games.

Having not played lone sails, i dived in (pun intended) to Far changing tides with fresh eyes. The game is beautiful and lovely to scroll through even if the puzzle mechanics and boat management grew tiresome very quickly. By the end of the game i was more than ready to put it down but feel others that enjoy Sim games may sit higher than myself.

A wonderful indie gem that has a beautiful tabletop setting mixed with a compelling narrative. I love the character development and the setting is incredibly atmospheric and engaging. A must play for all narrative driven gamers!

Wonderful sim management meets top down RPG that has a unique concept and brutal yet cute story. This game is so unique that it felt like something I hadn't truly ever played in my 20+ years of gaming, and thats a good thing!

A cool card battler concept that is quite hard even at the beginning of the game. I felt the game was really good in certain areas but also lacked in a few key areas (not a fan of the art-style personally)

Cute and beautiful to look at with clever isometric puzzles wasn't quite enough to win me over here. The combat never clicked with me and sometimes the puzzles felt overly obtuse. A good game is present but it didn't hit as high as hoped for me.
