“Mythforce” doesn’t have the staying power of other roguelites, there’s a fair share of grind in its meta progression and the first-person combat could use a bit of tune up. But, on the flip side, it is a great game to chill either alone or with friends. If there’s anything Beamdog picked up from the “Sunday morning cartoon vibes”, it’s how you can have low stakes and still have a great time with something.

“Hellsweeper VR” is one ambitious title in the VR space when it comes to movement mechanics. It might not always stick the landing, most notably in regards to wallrunning, but once you get the hang of it – and that might take some time – it’s hard not to feel pure satisfaction of slashing through hordes of demons.

Much like the axolotls in real life, I’d rather watch than play more of “AK-xolotl”. It has a good foundation, but its unnecessarily complicated meta progression, lack of weapons and build variety makes its runs frustrating and repetitive.

Asagi and Karai steal the show in “Dimension Shellshock”. The roguelite survival mode is a nice addition but lacks enemy variety and more interesting power-ups. Nevertheless, it’s a great addition to an already excellent game, especially with friends.

“Ride 5” is a great game for motorcycle enthusiasts, but Milestone still can’t find a good spot between realism and a more arcade approach. Most of its “innovations” will be seen and felt for those who dedicate their time to it. If you’re not willing to take part in 20 minutes+ races, then “Ride 3” is still your best option.

An absolutely fantastic game whose campaign does not overstay its welcome but still makes every encounter feel fresh. “En Garde!” focuses on arena fights and funny characters to build an extremely memorable experience. Along with the endlessly replayable “Arena Mode”, I don’t think I’ll stop playing it anytime soon.

Beautiful visuals can’t do much when “Atlas Fallen” combat, story and encounter design is so shallow. It could’ve been an amazing game if its scope was more limited. As of now, it just stands as another “open world” game that was released in 2023.

An amazing follow-up to “Remnant: From the Ashes”. Smooth gameplay paired with a great character building alongside some impressive bosses, setpieces and incredible locations. Remnant II is going to be one of those games I’ll be playing for years to come.

“Arcadian Atlas” might not be the “Final Fantasy Tactics” inspired game if you’re looking at a gameplay perspective. But the Team at Twin Otters Studios more than delivers on the story and presentation front. An enjoyable, even if “short”, journey.

“Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons” features an amazing cast with awe inspiring combos and styles. Sadly, the game ends up being dragged down by poor level design and a “roguelike” mode that barely fits the formula.

Haemimont Games had the almost impossible task to create a worthy sequel to the 1999 tactical classic. While “Jagged Alliance 3” does have some rough edges here and there, it’s easily the best turn based tactical shooter I played in 2023 and I don’t think any game will topple it.

A charming, fantastic mashup of genres that delivers on all fronts. Dave the Diver is funny, cozy, fascinating to explore, with a solid cast and even more amazing cinematics. It treats its world as a tangible place other than a “place to gather resources”. Its management aspects don’t overdo anything but are just enough to keep you invested. Easily one of the best games of 2023 so far.

Trepang2’s gameplay is what carries most, if not, the entire game. Its lackluster missions paired with some of the most mind-numbing narrative and an attempt to recreate what made “F.E.A.R.” great without understanding the source material. If you want to just to mangle bodies, go for it, but there are far better shooters in 2023.

Bleak Sword DX thrives on its bosses, its laser-focused design for the classic campaign and its moody atmosphere. Sadly, the DX version adds three new chapters that overstay their welcome and some of the “visual improvements” end up cluttering and creating unnecessary visual noise. Still a solid game overall.

“Boltgun” is specifically aimed at Warhammer 40K fans rather than shooter fans in general. Auroch Digital manages to mix the “retro” style with some new additions, but some level layouts and the extensive use of arenas makes this chaos-filled trip less than the sums of its parts. But, if you’re even remotely interested in the setting, it’s a no-brainer.

Is Super Mega Baseball 4 the awaited sequel I was hoping for? Not exactly. The presentation is better, the gameplay is still fantastic and some new features – such as team chemistry – are great for those who, like me, enjoys spending time building up their league. But, if you’re only in for the exhibition matches and enjoy a quick round of baseball, you better stick to Super Mega Baseball 3 for now.

The three new Chaos Dwarf lords might look and feel the same, but their gameplay capabilities vastly differ when you reach Total War: Warhammers III’s mid-game. Although some reused mechanics, such as convoys, make the package less attractive, it’s a great addition to an already impressive roster.

“Zoeti” strides on its majestic and ever-changing gameplay mechanics and deep customizable systems. Sadly, the overall package is brought down by an average story that is tied to an unrewarding run system. Still, if you’re not over deckbuilders, this one will definitely spark your interest.

"Age of Wonders 4" is a huge step as 4X game and for Triumhp Studios. While some areas — such as combat and a bit of exploration — need refinement, the fact that you shape your destiny in a more impactful way than its previous entries makes it possibly one of the best turn based games of 2023 so far.

"Wall World" is a prime example of metaprogression done right. It doesn't drags the experience, quite the contrary, it enriches it. Along with a extremely satisfying exploration and combat, "Wall World" is sure to keep you busy and coming back for more.
