Recommended - CloverPit
Oct 6, 2025

CloverPit is an addictive slot machine roguelite, and Panik Arcade once again demonstrates its talent for blending ideas with solid gameplay systems. It has that sickening, oppressive feel of Inscryption, but with addictive random mechanics that push you to seek out impossible builds. It's simple to play, but has a touch of strategy. It's one of the indie surprises of the year.

Oct 2, 2025

Bad Viking repeats its formula and proves once again that it knows how to create unique experiences. Strange Antiquities is demanding, but tremendously immersive. Its setting, object design, and the uncomfortable atmosphere it conveys are its greatest strengths, although exploration feels too limited and certain pieces are too cryptic. If you enjoyed Strange Horticulture, don't miss this one.

Unscored - Formula Legends
Sep 23, 2025

Formula Legends is a driving arcade game that works well as a tribute to F1, but it has drawbacks that weigh down the experience. Its control issues, inconsistent AI, and some technical glitches weigh too heavily on the experience. It's a charming title, but it needs polishing to reach the podium.

Sep 22, 2025

LEGO Voyagers is a cooperative adventure that focuses on simplicity and collaboration. It doesn't surprise with revolutionary mechanics or challenging puzzles, but it does manage to offer a welcoming and familiar experience. It's short, accessible, and beautiful, perfect for sharing with your partner, a friend, or even children.

SEGA has achieved a remarkable comeback for the Shinobi series. Art of Vengeance maintains the classic essence and adapts it to 2025 with an agile, precise, and truly satisfying combat system. The mix of action stages with slight Metroidvania touches offers variety, although also a certain lack of identity. It doesn't revolutionize the genre, but it does become one of the best 2D action games of the year.

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is a careful remake that modernizes just enough to make it enjoyable in 2025 without losing its essence. Its simplicity may seem lacking compared to complex, modern offerings such as Stardew Valley, but that accessibility makes it a great gateway into the genre. Simple, straightforward, full of content, and fun. Recommended.

Aug 19, 2025

Drag x Drive is a lot of fun to play, with innovative controls that make great use of the JoyCon 2 and manage to convey the physical effort of a real sport. However, it lacks content: there are no attractive game modes, no tournaments, and no real progression to keep players interested in the long term. Nintendo has released a brave and inclusive title, but one that feels empty.

Recommended - Is This Seat Taken?
Aug 18, 2025

Is This Seat Taken? is a charming puzzle game that demonstrates how a very simple idea can become something surprisingly ingenious and challenging. It shines visually, hooks you with its premise, and offers more than generous content for what it costs. That said, the narrative takes a back seat and fails to excite as much. In any case, it's a short, original, and fresh journey that's worth experiencing.

Discounty has reminded me that even running a small shop in a fictional town can be exciting. It's a very entertaining management video game with a strong narrative component, touches of humor, and a certain realism. I had a lot of fun playing it, although some bugs marred the experience a bit. If they fix them, it's one of the most entertaining indie games of 2025.

Mafia: The Old Country is like opening an old bottle of Sicilian wine: the flavor is intense, familiar, and comforting, but you notice that time has left it with a touch of age. It shines in its setting, characters, and leisurely narrative, but it resists modernizing its gameplay, remaining a game that will delight lovers of the genre and mafia stories, while leaving those looking for something more wanting more.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound has a retro feel, but it's a fresh game made by people who aren't afraid to try something new. The result is a fast-paced, precise, and demanding experience that runs like clockwork and doesn't seek to reinvent anything, but rather to remind us why we love gaming: for the well-paced action, the precise controls, and that satisfaction that only comes when everything clicks into place.

Recommended - Dear Me, I Was...
Jul 31, 2025

Dear me, I was... doesn't want you to play, it wants you to feel. It's more of a visual poem than a video game. It lasts barely a moment, but it can leave your heart in your mouth. Its gameplay is almost non-existent, but if you're drawn to intimate stories that speak of everyday life with brutal sensitivity, this little story can leave a lasting impression.

Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV is a hilarious proposition and a missed opportunity. The new features are refreshing, the mini-games shine with the Switch 2 features, and some modes like Frenzy Fair are awesome, but it's hard to understand why Nintendo has chosen to split the experience in two instead of unifying it.

Jul 15, 2025

Patapon 1+2 Replay is a somewhat lackluster celebration of a series with a lot of charm. The first game feels like an experiment, but Patapon 2 is a marvel of rhythm and strategy. It's a shame that the opportunity wasn't taken to fix some of the bugs they have. It's a compilation with a couple of new features to make them more accessible and little else, but they're a lot of fun. The second one is a marvel.

RAIDOU Remastered has pleasantly surprised me. Its real-time combat, its setting in 1930s Japan, and its fast pace make it a unique and highly enjoyable JRPG, even with the limitations inherent to a PS2 game. I hope we see modern installments of this sub-series.

Ruffy and the Riverside is an original adventure that stands out for its texture copying mechanics, but it fails to shine due to several details that weigh down the experience. Although its approach is varied and creative, the excessive presence of puzzles compared to platforming, a very poor Spanish translation, and an unattractive interface detract from the overall experience.

Recommended - Rematch
Jun 20, 2025

Rematch is a breath of fresh air in soccer games, with a fun, fast-paced arcade style and lots of potential. But it's also a demanding game, with complex controls and a steep learning curve. Plus, the lack of cross-play and various bugs detract from its brilliance in other areas. If you're willing to overlook some issues and put in the time, you'll end up hooked.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a unique offering that stands out more as an educational and informative experience than as a traditional video game. Its mini-games are adequate without being dazzling, but the real value lies elsewhere. It's not an essential title, but it is a very entertaining way to get to know your new console inside out.

Jun 3, 2025

Blades of Fire does not want to please everyone. And that is precisely what makes it so special. It is a brave game that asks for patience and returns immersion, discovery and a sense of adventure that is no longer in style. If you are willing to let yourself be swept away by its proposal, it may mark you, but its virtue is also, sometimes, defect.

Recommended - Monster Train 2
May 28, 2025

Monster Train 2 looks just like the original, but it's not: it takes the playable base of the original and elevates it in a way I didn't expect, with new clans, synergies, new cards with a great impact and several mechanics that update the formula. The result is a funnier, crazier and more visceral game that ranks among the best of the genre. It's a vice.
