You are Korvald, an old scribe who lives in a Nordic village. When crusaders come and invade, you are kidnapped and tortured to near death. But then a demon comes and gives you strength to fight back in this 2D action hack and slash platformer. It kind of reminds me of a mix between Odin Sphere and Splatterhouse. It’s available on PlayStation consoles, Switch, and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Under the Island (Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on February 18th, 2026 by
In this game you play as Nia, a teenager who just moved temporarily to a remote island with her parents. She’s not too thrilled about being away from civilization, but after accidentally touching a shrine and falling down a pit, she is tasked with collecting four gears that’ll activate the island, which is actually a floating craft. But is everything what it seems here? That’s what you’ll find out in Under the Island, a top down action adventure game similar to Zelda. It features modern day settings and elements, so you use a hockey stick instead of a sword for instance. You’ll explore the island and solve puzzles and take on creative dungeons and boss battles. It’s available for all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Tiny Biomes (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)

This game reminds me a bit of one of my favorite classic puzzlers: Pipe Dream. Make the water (or lava) flow through all the destinations by rotating pieces of pipe in three biomes: Forest, Volcano, and Winter, with 50 levels in each biome. Tiny Biomes is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Heroes Battle Awakening (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)

There’s imitating a game, and then there’s downright ripping off a game. Which do you think Heroes Battle Awakening is? This is pretty much just the same game as Plants vs. Zombies, with a new coat of paint. It now just has a cartoony medieval fantasy theme. It’s available on all current consoles, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Hextreme Void (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)

Mixing a Breakout/Arkanoid style game with a roguelike may sound like a good idea, but the way they did it here is very passive, so I’m not so sure. Anyway, that’s kind of what Hextreme Void is like, and it’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Running Fable: Petite Party (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on January 21st, 2026 by
The original Running Fable was a game that came out a few years ago. You would pick either a rabbit or a turtle (like the fable) and place traps along race tracks as you ran for the goal. It looked a little bit like a mix of Fall Guys and Mario Kart. I had never heard of it, but apparently now there is a second game in the series with Petite Party. Play as the characters from the first excursion as you race along a board game while playing mini-games just like Mario Party. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Direction Quad (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)

Help a frog swim across obstacle filled ponds and save the day in Direction Quad. The unique thing about this game is that it only uses one button. You press it to switch from swimming from one 45 degree angle to another. Bounce off of springs to change direction, and don’t touch the sides of the pond or other obstacles and make it to the goal to finish each level. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Gridz Keeper (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on January 14th, 2026 by
Zombies are invading, and you must turn on the generators to fend them off in Gridz Keeper. You know those puzzles, usually found in mini-games, where you must turn on all the lights, but when you turn one on, the others turn off? Yeah that’s basically what this is. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Go Kart Island (Switch, PC)
Posted on January 12th, 2026 by
Explore a giant open world island from the seat of your go kart in Go Kart Island. In the game’s story mode, you play as a young steer (ha) who wants to win the Big Race, but the mayor charges you 1000 coins to enter. So now you must enter smaller races and challenges to earn the money you need. Hmmm, an open world kart racer where you can play as a cow? Where have I seen that before? You may think this is just a run of the mill kart racer, but it does have one thing that sets it apart. You view the action from a more top down perspective. Anyway, Go Kart Island is available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Bob the Brick Breaker (Switch, PS4, PS5)
Posted on January 7th, 2026 by
Help Bob the Brick Breaker (as opposed to Bob the Builder), break bricks by bouncing a wrecking ball with a girder. Yup, it’s a BreakOut or Arkanoid clone. But is it as good as those classics? You’ll just have to read on to find out! The game is available on Switch and PlayStation consoles, but reviewed on Switch here.
