Genre: Turn-based strategy (TBS)

Artifact was as rewarding as it was deep. RNG was handled well, and over large sample sizes played little part in outcome. Monetisation was misunderstood IMO, and - very sadly - basically rendered the game dead on arrival.

A masterpiece and one of, if not the best Game Boy releases. Way back when Pokémon was still fresh and everything involved was delightful and fun. I chose Squirtle.

Utterly brilliant. Takes everything it learned in its predecessor and does it much better. The concepts driving this game are so ingenious and well executed, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Behemoth’s crazy, typically absurd & funny take on a simple tactical RPG. Great characters, world and the usual quality animation. Fun with a friend if a little repetitive eventually.

Dark, varied, complex, addictive and unforgiving. If you like turnbased RPGs, just get it - no question. When I first played I could not stop myself from saying aloud “this game is so fucking good.”

An intriguing and dynamic game in the vein of X-COM which is worth the price of entry if at times a little frustrating.

An innovative and unique take on turnbased strategy with tonnes of replayability. Great soundtrack and decent narrative.

Beautiful and sad. Well designed, minimal & stylised visuals with no UI to interrupt the immersion throughout a relatively short experience.
