While Kaku: Ancient Seal has a few flaws and the kid-friendly visuals that belie the high combat difficulty, BINGOBELLS' epic adventure still manages to feel like a fun throwback to the action-platformers of old.

Yooka-Re-Playlee is an impressive half-remake/half-remaster, but all the improvements can’t mask old flaws.

PIGFACE is no boomer shooter with a focus on hand-crafted levels and enemy placement; it is all about finding your own fun in janky sandbox environments reminiscent of the early Hitman games.

Yooka-Replaylee's improved visuals, camera, and controls are significant updates, but it is still hard to recommend to all but the most die-hard 3D platformer fans when better options are available.

Castle of Heart: Retold is a solid remake/remaster that focuses on fixing (most of) the original release's problems, while bringing back old-school action-platformer difficulty.

The console port of Frostpunk 2 is still an excellent and engrossing survival/management city-builder, but the awkward and sometimes frustrating controls need more refinement.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition still holds up today as the original built upon early attempts and came to define the squad-based RTS genre (even if the campaigns and PvP cater to entirely different audiences).

The Rogue Prince of Persia is a fun, addictive, and well-designed spin-off that could do with a little more variety in environments and bosses.

Space Adventure Cobra - The Awakening is not only a rare videogame adaptation that does the source material proud, it also managed to rekindle my interest in an IP I've not thought about in ages.

Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition was a reminder that the original felt like the last gasp for PC-exclusive CRPGs - but I am glad these awkward console ports exist.

Turbo Kid is a case of the stars aligning to buck the trend of poor movie tie-in adaptations. Addictive, impressive, and a whole heap of fun that kept me hooked from the opening to the finale.

Caput Mortum combines diverse puzzle and monster encounters with retro-inspired aesthetics (and a retro control scheme for those who want it) to craft a well-paced descent into madness.

Dead of Darkness feels like a ‘80’s direct-to-VHS pulp horror that you would watch on repeat with your mates and discuss for years to come despite not being that good.

Heartworm is a compact homage to survival- and psychological-horror classics, but also another game in the genre that might broaden the audience by tempering the horror with more heart.
