Little Kitty Big City may charm with its detailed visuals and delightful soundtrack, but the overall experience falls short of leaving a lasting impression. The initial excitement fades quickly into repetitive tasks and a lack of emotional connection, with gameplay that soon feels more tedious than engaging. Despite its heart and style, the spark just didn’t last for me.

South of Midnight is a soulful action-adventure that immerses players in the eerie charm of the American South, brought to life through a stunning world, heartfelt character stories, and a haunting soundtrack. While the main narrative stumbles at times and some technical issues persist, its artistic style, stop-motion feel, and emotional depth make it a memorable experience. Compulsion Games has crafted something truly unique—flawed, but unforgettable.

Distant Bloom enchanted me with its peaceful world, accessible gameplay, and charming characters, just as the PC demo had promised. Unfortunately, the Switch version suffers from serious technical issues—framerate drops, awkward loading, and lighting problems—that overshadow the game's potential, leaving me hopeful for a patch to let its true charm shine through.

Pilo and the Holobook charms with its hand-drawn art style and the cheeky personality of its protagonist, offering a light, accessible adventure perfect for younger players. While some technical hiccups and a lack of depth in the Holobook mechanic hold it back, the colorful planets and playful tone make for an enjoyable experience. It’s a sweet, non-violent journey that’s especially well-suited for kids aged 9 to 12.

Split Fiction takes players on a visually creative journey through diverse fantasy and sci-fi worlds, with solid gameplay and some memorable side moments. However, the lack of narrative depth, constant pressure, and missed opportunities for meaningful cooperation made the experience more exhausting than enjoyable. In the end, its imaginative environments stood out, but they weren’t quite enough to fully balance the frustration.
