What’s great about indie titles is that they often bring fresh ideas that are increasingly rare in today’s gaming industry, especially from major publishers. SCHiM might be the latest example proving that new concepts can lead to truly enjoyable experiences—when executed properly. With simplicity and elegance, SCHiM delivers a fun platforming adventure built on creative and original mechanics. We hope to see more of this, though ideally with a higher difficulty level to add a greater sense of challenge.

There’s no doubt that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II surpasses Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice in most aspects. From its bold take on an emotional story with powerful moments and a unique direction, it delivers an unprecedented level of precision in portraying psychosis. The experience dives deep into the psyche, supported by masterfully implemented spatial audio that enhances the core theme, alongside stunning, hyper-realistic visuals. However, some design choices—along with the lack of innovation in combat mechanics and the repetition of familiar puzzle designs—are areas that could have benefited from more refinement. Overall, Hellblade II is a visually cinematic journey well worth experiencing, though it does feel far too short.

Our journey with Rise of the Ronin was far from enjoyable. Despite the excellent implementation of the combat system and the thrill of its boss battles, the poor graphics and reliance on tired, repetitive level design within a lifeless open world drained any hope we had for the game. Ultimately, it stands out as one of the most disappointing PlayStation exclusives of the past decade.

It had the potential to be exceptional, thanks to its stunning realisation of the world of Pandora. However, the shallow story, repetitive mission design, and poorly implemented navigation system turned it into a missed opportunity.

Quantum Error managed to present an intriguing story, but its impact would have been far greater had it been adapted into a cinematic work rather than a video game.
