8 / 10.0 - Shadow Labyrinth
Jul 19, 2025

Shadow Labyrinth is a very polished and well-balanced experience that is well worth the effort you will put into learning its mechanics. While its controls could use a bit of tweaking to perfect, it's a game that showcases the best of Bandai Namco both literally and figuratively, and is one that I was delighted to play thanks to its story and excellent level design.

Robocop: Unfinished Business is an absolute blast to play for both newcomers and veterans alike, with Teyon creating a focused experience that sets a very frantic pace for its main story while ensuring that its visuals and audio sustain the quality of its top-notch gameplay. Robocop feels like a real tank and a force to be reckoned with in the field, while his human side gets a couple of nice touches in quiet moments, making his time in OmniTower well worth experiencing for yourself.

8 / 10.0 - Rematch
Jun 23, 2025

Rematch does a good job of providing a bite-sized arcade football experience that's backed by smooth performance and simple controls, making it easy to pick up and play. While its early access period brought matchmaking issues and a bit of lag to the table, SloClap has committed to resolving these issues in future updates. As it stands, Rematch is certainly worth a go, for both casual and veteran football fans.

The Precinct is a great game when its systems work in your favor despite a lackluster main story and a few glaring issues holding it back from true excellence. Pick it up on sale or when you find yourself looking for a title to play over a slow weekend.
