The Karate Kid: Street Rumble almost has what it takes to be a classic beat ‘em up. I hope the team at Odaclick continues to update the game with more content and fixes some issues above, such as the core gameplay mechanics, which is a big issue. The game is still worth a try if it goes on sale if you are a massive fan of the genre and the films. For now, The Karate Kid: Street Rumble needs a bit more “wax on, wax off” action.
EA SPORTS FC 25 is definitely an improvement from last year’s title, but not by much, especially when it comes to the on-field gameplay. It’s clear that EA placed more emphasis on their content, tactical gameplay, and more to increase the longevity of this game, and they have done very well in doing so. Plus, the new FC IQ system is an incredible addition to the game.
Melobot – A Last Song has a lot going for it. The music and art mesh together beautifully in a quirky little game about restoring a once-beautiful world to its former glory. The game is great for those looking for something cozy to round off their rhythm game collection. With Elements about taking care of the environment, it’ll be great for kids as well.
Frostpunk 2 is the deserving successor to the original game that builds on pretty much everything and blows all expectations out of proportion. It is an immediate recommendation for city-builders, RTS, and 4X genre fans. And for fans of the original game, what are you waiting for? The frozen land awaits.
Some people might not enjoy Dustborn. Patience and a passion for storytelling are required due to the game’s slow pace and focus on narrative and intricate dialogue mechanics. Playing Dustborn will force you to interact with the characters on a deep emotional and intellectual level. But if you’re looking for a game with innovative gaming mechanics, a compelling story, and engaging characters, Dustborn isn’t that game.
Hollowbody is a survival horror game that takes players back to the nostalgic era of classic PS2 horror games. Inspired by titles like Silent Hill 2, the game offers psychological horror, challenging puzzles, and intense combat, all accompanied by atmospheric audiovisual cues. It captures the essence of survival horror while introducing modern conveniences that’ll have veteran players coming back for more.
Caravan SandWitch is the cozy twist in gaming we all need occasionally. Anybody who enjoys a great story and some good music will absolutely adore this gem simply due to how much charm everything oozes. However, you’ll need to prepare beforehand for what might be a genuinely touching story that will hit a little too close to home.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is quite literally the game we all needed. With its smooth but still fast gameplay and great story, it's well worth a try if you like gunning down endless swarms of aliens. At the same time, there's never a dull moment when simply exploring and taking in all the detail that the world has to offer.
ASTRO BOT is a real treasure that captures the heart and soul of what makes a platformer great. With expertly crafted levels, inventive mechanics, and delightful nods to PlayStation history, it’s hard not to fall in love with every moment.
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is good for what it is, but it also looks like a missed opportunity from Warner Bros to expand on an already popular release with a DLC. Between the short-lived campaign and the repetitive gameplay, it can be somewhat fun for the first few hours, but it’ll likely become one of those releases that live on your shelf for the occasional couch co-op.
Whether fortifying defenses in campaign mode or striving for survival in endless mode, players can immerse themselves in the intricacies of city-building and active combat, making Diplomacy is Not an Option a standout title in the real-time strategy genre. It is a fantastic game for veteran RTS players looking for a new challenge. However, it isn’t a good game for someone just getting into real-time strategies.
Shogun Showdown is well worth a shot if you’re up for a challenge while leaning more towards a casual atmosphere. The gameplay and combat might look a little daunting, and you’ll find yourself getting drawn back to it for another round after each run. Luckily, with an endless supply of skills and weapons to unlock, there’s never a dull moment to be had, and we can’t forget about the speedrunner potential.
Bloodless might just be an indie game, but it was enjoyable most of the time and thought out nicely. The game has a great design and well-thought-out mechanics to entice players who miss the retro era of beat ’em ups. With a few kinks ironed out, it can definitely become a certified banger for the atmosphere alone. Some work is needed on some settings and optimization, but that can be overlooked.
Visions of Mana is absolutely worth the wait as it offers a substantial gameplay experience. Fans of the series or those seeking an exciting and engaging role-playing game will likely find what they’re searching for in Visions of Mana. I highly recommend this game to anyone new to the series and like action role-playing games. The graphics are eye-catching, and the combat is highly customizable, making for an enjoyable gaming experience. The gameplay involves exploring extensive open areas, ensuring you get your money’s worth in content and playtime. Visions of Mana is a great choice if you seek a game that combines elements of the past with those of the present.
Star Wars Outlaws strives to offer an engaging space adventure but stumbles with clunky stealth mechanics, forgettable characters, and uninspired mission design. While the game excels in capturing the visual and auditory essence of the Star Wars universe, its many flaws make it a frustrating experience rather than the thrilling journey it promises.
Given its early access, I found the idea behind Mika and The Witch’s Mountain appealing, but the implementation falls well short. The quest structure is repetitious, and the world seems dead with inhabitants who fail to engage the player. Still, Mika and The Witch’s Mountain was brought to life in a manner that almost fully realized its great graphics, amazing music, and sensible concept. If you appreciate the Chibig world and ignore its flaws, you might still have fun here, particularly with the returning characters from past games.
It’s clear that they focused much more on fidelity than performance, which is a major pet peeve for most gamers. There’s nothing wrong with putting a lot of emphasis on the graphics, but the gameplay needs as much attention—even more would be better. The silver lining is that this game is free, so there’s no harm in giving it a shot. The game has something there, but it will need more improvements to get the best out of it. Plus, plenty of The First Descendant updates along the way will feature more characters, weapons, adjustments, and so on. So, hopefully, The First Descendant will become a more interesting game in the future.
Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse– the remastered version- is a good addition to reminding us what gaming used to be like and how we sort of forgot how to bring the writing to the top. With gameplay being the same with improvements, it’s a great choice for people who want to reminisce about the old times and an excellent way for puzzle-solving people to dive into the games, too. Just to let you know, the original game is currently free on Steam, so if you want to experience this title originally, you can, but I highly suggest keeping it to a high standard with this version, too.
Phantom Spark is a wonderfully easy-to-pick-up racing game that draws inspiration from classics like F-Zero and Wipeout and takes you on an entrancing journey of self-improvement. The racetracks are varied and offer a welcoming difficulty curve. The game offers a lot of room for error for newbies, but there is much more room for perfecting each track while getting lost in the soundtrack. The addictive gameplay loop comes from trying to beat your own ghost. Phantom Spark is a great little racing game that is definitely worth a try as long as you are okay with retrying a lot.
Whether or not I recommend this game, I really think that Stellar Blade is mediocre, and you can get the same level of enjoyment, if not more, from several other titles of the genre. I did have fun, and this review was clearly a huge read compared to other ones I have written, but that was mostly due to the need to comment on femininity, and this game is nothing to write home about.
