Zaxoid captures the spirit of classic arcade shooters without becoming trapped by nostalgia. Beneath its colourful explosions and relentless alien assaults lies a surprisingly thoughtful blend of twin stick action, roguelite progression and planetary defence that keeps every run feeling fresh.

Kenshō isn't interested in testing your reflexes or overwhelming you with impossible puzzles. Instead, it invites you to slow down, breathe and lose yourself in a beautiful world where every solved puzzle gently restores nature. It is a peaceful, thoughtfully designed experience that lingers in the mind long after the final door has opened.

T.R.A.G. Tactical Rescue Assault Group – Mission of Mercy is a fascinating time capsule of late 90s console design, blending fixed camera tension with anime driven action and character swapping systems that feel surprisingly fresh even today.

A brilliant twist on the twin stick roguelite, HYPERWIRED transforms a simple charging cable into one of the smartest risk versus reward mechanics the genre has seen in years.

High On Life 2 proves lightning can strike twice. By tightening its humour, reinventing movement with an outstanding skateboard mechanic, and delivering a far more confident campaign, Squanch Games has transformed a divisive cult hit into one of its strongest action games yet.
