Shin chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is a beautiful-looking, cosy, and laid-back casual game with enough adventure elements to keep you hooked for hours. The game evokes nostalgia, reminding you of childhood trips to your grandparents’ village, where you’d spend time exploring and soaking in the simplicity of village life. Despite its relaxed pace, the game has an extensive story, with a collection and exploration-based gameplay that is made for a specific audience who don’t mind a repeating gameplay loop. I believe it’s best enjoyed in short bursts, rather than playing through it all at once.

KonoSuba: Love for these Clothes of Desire nails the ridiculousness of KonoSuba. The voice acting and dialogues in character interactions are perfect and feel like they came straight out of the anime. While the story is not the strongest point of the visual novel, and the gameplay loop is unique but can get stale really quickly, it’s still fun to read through with plenty of the party’s hi jinks to enjoy.

Tekken 8 offers a short and crisp story while keeping you thoroughly engaged. The game introduces new characters and does justice to key side characters. Besides, the fights are rewarding, and the background music during these fights is downright electric. Even for a gamer who hasn’t played a Tekken title properly since Tekken 3, Tekken 8 offered a compelling experience. It made me feel like I never stopped playing the franchise. Yoshimitsu and King are just as fun to play as they were before. In addition to the simplicity and straightforward nature of the game, we also get new features that make it even more accessible to new players. Tekken 8 is a fun game, and that is what a button-smasher should be.

An enthralling spectacle to behold and an even more exciting one to take the reins of, God of War Ragnarok melds action and adventure together to create a new, unforgettable Norse saga. Impeccable writing, pitch-perfect performances, knockout action – it’s a complete work of art from top to bottom. Reflecting its core themes, it's everything a sequel should be: respectful of its legendary lineage, but not afraid to take it to exciting new places. God of War Ragnarok is an almighty achievement and creates a new high that makes many of its peers look positively mortal by comparison.

The Wandering Village ticks all the right boxes as a city-building game. Managing not only your village but also a giant creature is a unique concept that is mostly well done. It isn't just a gimmick; the theme adds to the challenge of the game. Research tech could use some improvement but as an Early Access title, The Wandering Village is a solid game that is worth the price.

Little Orpheus is more of an interactive story mixed with platformer elements. The game keeps everything really simple and is very short in length, with not much in terms of replay value unless you are a completionist. The low difficulty can also be a turn-off for some. However, the combination of an interesting story, funny characters, and a whimsical, pretty world paired with straightforward gameplay can be a reason for many to give this title a shot.
