King of Tokyo transforms a beloved tabletop classic into a lively digital playground where giant monsters throw punches, chase victory points, and battle for control of the city. Beneath the colourful chaos lies a surprisingly clever strategy game that remains easy to learn but difficult to master.

R-Type Dimensions III proves that great shooters never really age. It refines decades of arcade brilliance into a slick modern package while preserving the brutal, methodical soul that made the series legendary in the first place.

Underling Uprising channels the chaotic spirit of 1990s cartoons into one of the most energetic beat ’em ups in years. With fluid combat, fantastic co-op play, and hand-drawn style bursting with personality, Dummy Dojo delivers a modern arcade brawler that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly alive.

Honey Sprint is the kind of game that does not pretend to be anything it is not. It is fast, bright, and gone almost as soon as you think you have fully settled into it, yet it leaves behind that familiar itch for “one more run.” What it lacks in depth it makes up for in immediacy, offering a small but surprisingly sticky loop of chase, dodge, and collect that knows exactly how long it needs to stay in your hands.

Stickin’ the Landing turns a childlike sense of imagination into a clever physics puzzle playground, where stickers bend gravity and everyday rooms become cosmic sandboxes. It is warm, inventive, and quietly challenging, offering a rare kind of puzzle experience that values curiosity just as much as precision.
