For fans of narrative-driven platformers or anyone who loves cats, this is a must-play experience. It slots perfectly into the growing line of feline-focused games, offering a unique balance of whimsy and emotional depth. It’s clear that Valhalla Cats has created something truly special—earning a well-deserved 9/10 for its charm, creativity, and heartfelt execution.
Monarchy offers a charming take on the side-scrolling strategy genre, blending base-building, resource management, and light combat into a visually appealing package. Its relaxed gameplay and cooperative mode make it a great choice for casual players or families, especially those looking for a less demanding alternative to games like Kingdom Two Crowns. However, the game’s lack of tutorials, clunky controls, and repetitive mechanics hold it back from reaching its full potential.
Land of Mushrooms does check the boxes for a light, cosy game with its endearing visuals and simple mechanics. But, its charm quickly loses ground to a lack of originality, a confusing start due to the absence of a tutorial, and an overall feeling of being a repurposed version of other merging games.
Just Dance 2025 is undeniably fun, especially if you love dancing to your favourite tracks with friends or solo. With its mix of new songs, quirky visuals, and energetic gameplay, it’s another solid entry in the long-running series.
Metaphor: ReFantazio is a game that walks the line between homage and innovation. Its deep connection to Persona and Shin Megami Tensei is clear in its mechanics and structure, and while at times it feels almost too similar to its predecessors, it ultimately carves out its own space with a compelling fantasy world and meaningful characters.
Between the unique raid maps, various crew builds, and sea monsters to summon (yes, you get to unleash a Kraken), every run feels like a new adventure. It’s a game that you can easily lose hours in, and the depth of customization keeps things interesting even after multiple raids.
There’s a lot to love about Copycat, especially when it comes to the art and voice acting. The dreamscape scenes are a really nice touch, showing us plenty of Shelter-Dawn’s inner thoughts and how she feels throughout the journey. The narration from different voices adds to that feeling, weaving everything together beautifully. And while the Quick Time Events can be a bit tense, they keep you engaged at the right moments.
