#Drive Rally puts you right in the driver’s seat, giving you a taste of what it was like to be a rally driver in the 90s, racing across some of the most challenging terrains imaginable. The game is all about speed and precision, as you navigate your rally car up and down twisting roads and rough paths while maintaining complete control. #Drive Rally captures the essence of 90s-era rally racing in a compact yet powerful experience. The question is: do you have what it takes to become a rally legend?
The duo behind Lazy Bear Games has created a captivating indie JRPG experience that wears its influences proudly on its sleeves. If you’re into cozy pixel art titles with an engaging narrative, an addicting soundtrack, and strategic combat, then Bloomtown: A Different Story should definitely be your next to play title.
Frostpunk 2 is a fantastic continuation of the original game and is graphically stunning offering an immense amount of replayability.
The Plucky Squire is a truly captivating action-adventure that blends humor and creativity into a compelling narrative. The seamless integration of 2D and 3D gameplay, combined with stunning visuals and an enchanting soundtrack, makes this game a delightful experience for players of all ages. If you’re looking for a magical escapade, then The Plucky Squire is a journey worth embarking on.
Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown has shifted towards being just another racing game at its core. While the physics and car handling are solid, the game lacks deeper missions or objectives beyond driving and exploration. The lifestyle elements that once set the series apart have been sidelined, resulting in a more streamlined but visually impressive driving simulator. For fans who loved the blend of racing and life simulation in earlier titles, this change feels like a missed opportunity, leaving the experience somewhat hollow despite its strong foundation.
The Casting of Frank Stone feels like a squandered opportunity in the end. Even though it combines the interactive horror formula of Supermassive with the lore of Dead by Daylight, the game fails to stand out. The atmospheric elements and tense moments are sometimes there, but the experience is ruined by a plot that lacks action, simplistic combat, and a complete lack of scares. Learning the lore might be entertaining for hardcore fans of Dead by Daylight. But for most, this is just a watered-down version of Supermassive’s earlier, more influential games. If you’ve already played either Until Dawn or The Quarry, then this experience will feel lack luster to you. The Casting of Frank Stone is a somewhat decent Halloween horror game, but it falls short in the ‘I need a change of underwear’ department.
Without a doubt, Copycat is a masterpiece of narrative-driven gaming, featuring a story that will tug at your heartstrings and leave you emotionally invested. It is a game that is deeply Australian yet universally relatable, and one that will leave you still crying, long after the credits roll.
While the story remains just as captivating as it was back in 2012, Chainsaw Lollipop Repop ultimately feels like little more than a way to re-experience the original on modern hardware. Unfortunately, the remaster doesn’t offer enough substantial updates to make it feel like a truly refreshed experience. Instead, it often feels like you’re running the game through an emulator rather than playing a fully optimized version for today’s systems. The lack of significant improvements in gameplay, visuals, or technical performance makes it hard to see this as anything beyond a straightforward port.
There isn’t much bad to say about Caravan SandWitch. The game does have a lot of backtracking as you unlock and upgrade your Caravan, but that’s the only slight annoyance. Caravan SandWitch is truly a thoughtful and beautifully crafted experience that combines environmental and social commentary with an engaging, character-driven narrative. It’s a game that encourages reflection, not just on the fate of Cigalo but on our own world as well.
Overall, Crossy Road Castle can be a very addicting game as you’ll want to beat your latest score constantly. The idea of not knowing what will come through the next door is one of the more thrilling aspects of the game. The best way to play this game, in my opinion, is to play Solo. If you’re looking for something new to play on a console, Crossy Road Castle should be on your list.
For fans who grew up with the Rugrats crew, this game is a delightful blast of ’90s nostalgia. However, much like a brief episode of the beloved cartoon, the game feels a bit too short, leaving players wanting more of the inventive worlds and endearing characters that made their childhood memorable. Despite its nostalgic charm, the game’s brief duration compared to its price tag feels like getting a Reptar cereal box only to find it half full. The sense of adventure is enjoyable but ends too soon to justify the cost, making it seem like a bit of a rip-off compared to the rich, expansive experiences one might expect from a pricier title. It’s a fun nostalgia trip, but it might leave you wishing for the epic, lasting adventures that made the original show so special.
Age of Mythology: Retold stands as the ultimate way to experience a beloved classic, combining the timeless appeal of the original game with a host of modern enhancements. With its refreshed graphics, expanded gameplay mechanics, and a wealth of new content, this edition not only pays homage to the game that captivated millions but also reinvents it for a new generation of players. The inclusion of new gods, like Freyr, and the Legacy Deity Portrait Pack enrich the nostalgic experience, while the promise of upcoming expansions adds exciting new dimensions to the mythological universe.
Visually, NBA 2K25 is stunning, and the adrenaline-pumping soundtrack keeps the energy high throughout each game. With so much content to dive into, it’s a must-pickup for anyone with even a passing interest in basketball.
Supermoves ultimately feels like a souped-up version of Fall Guys with fancier parkour mechanics. The game struggles to carve out a unique identity, lacking that extra dose of charm or creativity that would make it truly stand out. Though it offers more complex movement options, it doesn’t quite capture the same whimsical fun, and energetic vibe that makes Fall Guys so addictive. Adding to the comparison, Fall Guys delivers a more playful, cartoonish experience that’s not only more engaging but also free to play, making it a tough sell for players to invest in Supermoves, especially when it lacks the same spark of joy.
Team ASOBI did an outstanding job with Astro Bot, a delightful yet playful platformer that is sure to capture the hearts of many gamers and one that I found difficult to put down once I started playing. Its innovative use of the DualSense controller, stunning visual design, engaging audio, and charming narrative make it pure bliss to play and most definitely give Nintendo a run for their money!
All in all, Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 provides a satisfyingly challenging experience that meshes gunplay, mobbing strategy, “offensive” defense, and classic RPG progression into one spectacular bundle. The RPG progression made for a rewarding grind, but the experience was not varied enough for me to want to grind and explore through multiple classes. However, the core gameplay itself was enjoyable for me to complete one full character progression end to end.
There’s no other way to say it: BAKERU feels like a Japanese take on the GameCube classic Super Mario Sunshine, with some Zelda-like magic sprinkled in. The game offers a vibrant, fast-paced adventure that seamlessly fuses traditional Japanese folklore with dynamic action gameplay. Bakeru’s journey celebrates Japan’s cultural heritage while delivering a captivating experience full of surprises, shapeshifting abilities, and rhythmic taiko drumming.
Mika and the Witch’s Mountain is undeniably a love letter to the past, much like A Hat in Time was just a few years ago. Both games masterfully capture the essence of old-school platformers, blending that nostalgic charm with modern touches that elevate the experience for today’s players. Whether you view it as an homage or a close relative to A Hat in Time, the game’s undeniable charm, from its whimsical characters to its enchanting world, creates a cozy, feel-good adventure that’s hard to resist. Despite its clear similarities, Mika and the Witch’s Mountain carves out enough originality to stand on its own and is undoubtedly a must-play for fans of magical tales and nostalgic platformers.
Star Wars Outlaws is visually stunning, but beneath its beauty, there are some rough edges. Despite these flaws, I remain optimistic that Star Wars Outlaws will improve significantly with further updates and community feedback. There’s a lot of potential for growth, especially with possible DLCs and patches.
While Concord has a long way to go before it can be considered a competitor to the likes of Overwatch or Valorant, it shouldn’t be written off entirely. With continued post-launch support, balancing updates, and a commitment to addressing player feedback, Concord could potentially grow into a respectable entry in the team-based FPS genre. However, as it stands now, it remains an unfinished product with more promise than delivery. There’s still time for Concord to rise to the challenge and prove itself, but it needs serious improvements to match the lofty ambitions and expectations set forth by its creators.
