With few new releases and a bunch of re-releases for new generation consoles, the highlight is Monster Hunter Rise, a new game in Capcom's phenomenal series that will be a timed exclusive for the Nintendo Switch, later on releasing for PC. However, we still have some notable titles, including It Takes Two, Balan Wonderworld, farm simulation games, and the arrival of the Kingdom Hearts' entire series to PC."

CG writes: Maiden Gaming Inc. presents League of Maidens, which is a Single-Player FREE-TO-PLAY online action RPG for PC. Previously it was a crowd-funded project via Patreon, now available via Steam. Gameplay aside, before you dive-in to the action, the game comes with a neat selection of female character classes alongside a pretty comprehensive set of tools for customization. However, a caveat. The visuals can range from overly exaggerated characters with body parts that look totally unreal but appeal to particular fantasy tastes. Or those with more realistic proportions. The game does well to cater to a variety of tastes. Either way, League Of Maidens customization is fun by itself if you like creating weird and wonderful combatants. You can also purchase some rather neat, customizable costumes as you can see in the second video.

Cade writes: "The single solution puzzles make it all too easy to get frustrated when spending a large amount of time trying to clear a level. Combined with the damsel that one would rather leave in distress and the horribly annoying bug that continued to remove all challenge from the game, Dungeons & Bombs on Xbox is an unoriginal idea that goes off with a “meh” rather than a “bang”."
PP: My biggest takeaway from playing Anodyne 2: Return to Dust is that developers Melos Han-Tani and Marina Kittaka at Analgesic Productions are not afraid to take chances. They took many big swings and most of them connected.
