"Welcome to ParadiZe is not a high-quality game, but it's entertaining with its humorous dialogue and story. The gameplay is satisfying, involving various weapons and zombots to fight zombies, though camp-building and protection can be challenging. While the game lacks optimization and has basic visuals, it provides simple, effective fun for those looking to enjoy some straightforward zombie action."

"Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story focuses on the Yordles with Lazy Bear Games' charming pixel art and humor. The game’s narrative and island exploration are engaging, though the story is shallow and involves a lot of back-and-forth. Skill management and various activities like festivals and food stands add depth, making the game feel more like a fun adventure than a grind."

"Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden starts strong but loses its charm after a few hours. The story and characters are well-crafted, and the cinematic cutscenes and atmospheric soundtrack enhance the experience. However, the lack of meaningful choices and repetitive environments, along with unnecessary activities that highlight the combat system, are major drawbacks. Despite these issues and oversharing in trailers, the game remains worth playing for its story and atmosphere, with optional activities that can be largely ignored in favor of focusing on the Haunted Cases."

"Brave Lamb Studio's War Hospital powerfully depicts the horrors of World War I, highlighting the harsh reality of not being able to save everyone due to limited resources and staff. The game’s management system, including resource production, soldier rotation, and reconnaissance, is well-designed. However, War Hospital falls short in conveying atmosphere and personality due to a lack of music and dialogue, as well as repetitive cutscenes and complications. While the game is challenging and engaging, it misses opportunities for added depth with the absence of a sandbox mode, difficulty options, and the Marie Curie storyline locked behind DLC. These features could have enhanced its personality and replayability."
