KARMA: The Dark World is a compelling experience with a strong narrative. Do I think it belongs among the horror greats? No. Do I think it’s an impressive feat for an indie studio? Absolutely. If you love dystopian themed psychological horror, this is one to add to the collection. If you’re new to the genre, this is a great entry point. The gameplay is straightforward, and since the collectable puzzles are optional, most players should find it easy enough to pick up and enjoy. Perhaps my hopes were set too high for this game as whilst enjoyable it simply left me wanting more.
Split Fiction is deeply engaging, and the hours flew by as we played. Many games hold players’ hands, guiding them through every step with constant prompts and restrictive mechanics. Split Fiction, however, throws you in headfirst, trusting you to experiment, explore, and engage with its world on your own terms. For anyone considering it, make sure you have a Player 2 who’s up for the ride. At 11–14 hours, it’s a commitment, but one that’s absolutely worth it. You’re in for a journey that will explore creativity almost, to its very limits and a gameplay that feels fresh and exciting. And if you’re wondering—yes, I’m still on speaking terms with CaptainTrophyHunter, until our next co-op adventure.
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is an intimate, beautifully crafted experience that leans heavily into storytelling and atmosphere. If you’re drawn to games that explore emotion, nostalgia, and the bonds that shape us, this is an easy recommendation. Just be warned, it might take you down a path of remembering, so make sure you’re prepared.
I didn’t hate this game. I just don’t think it was polished to perfection—but really, what ever is? Especially in today’s gaming sphere, where triple-A games are released incomplete. The Reward of Cherishment and Eternity is a visually stunning game with a heavy narrative theme. When things went right, this game ticked all the boxes, and I think from a stylistic point of view this game is worth a play.
