6.5 / 10.0 - Tron: Catalyst
Jun 17, 2025

Bithell Games was overly ambitious with its time-loops idea, resulting in several poorly implemented mechanics. The combat is mediocre and the exploration somewhat repetitive, but Tron: Catalyst has a very good story with relevant themes, intriguing lore, and a great setting that may make it worthwhile for fans of the series.

6.6 / 10.0 - Copycat
May 23, 2025

Copycat is a pretty effective game at manipulating the emotions of cat lovers. While I feel it lacks narrative elements, some of its minigames are too simplistic, and it doesn't quite manage to fully grasp all of its themes, is a short experience that may be worthwhile.

6.8 / 10.0 - Mostroscopy
May 13, 2025

This is a niche game that probably won't appeal to a large portion of the fighting game community and the lack of an online mode doesn't help. However, its concept is very appealing, and fans of the films it references will inevitably be drawn to it, even if only to give it a look. It's a game made for a very specific and small group of players, but you may belong to that group and not even know it.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 not only secures a spot on my list of the best games of 2025, but also on my list of favorite games of all time. I'm in love with its wonderful, mystery-filled story, its long-suffering yet charismatic characters, its secret-filled map, and its perfectly balanced combat system. Some elements could be more polished, but that doesn't take away from its title of a work of art.

A very good option for those who miss RPGs with turn-based combat like they were made more than 20 years ago. It has an intriguing story, excellent characters, and very good chibi-style visual art. The numerous fights can be a bit tiring, and some scenarios feel more labyrinthine than they should be, but it's a game worth playing, whether you're a fan of Maliki's webcomic or have never heard of it before.

8.4 / 10.0 - Wanderstop
Mar 25, 2025

517 / 5,000 The way Wanderstop presents the pain caused by trauma and the healing power of a gentle, relaxing environment that, despite everything, can't completely cure it resonated deeply with me. This is a fantastic work that uses humor, tragedy, and absolutely charismatic characters to present complex realities that aren't always solvable. Depending on your own experience, you may love this game or you may find it confusing and boring, but it's worth a look.

Assassin's Creed Shadows blew me away with its beautiful graphics, expansive world, and historical depiction of Japan, and ultimately won me over with its fun combat and stealth systems. It's true that it's more of the same and lacks some innovation, but that didn't ruin the fun. The tons of filler activities, imprecise controls that were sometimes frustrating, and the poor pacing of its story knocked it down a few notches, but I fervently believe it's the best game in the series in at least a decade, and I recommend it to fans of the series and lovers of Japanese history alike.

7.6 / 10.0 - Expelled!
Mar 11, 2025

Inkle never disappoints when it comes to surprising us with new ideas. Although Expelled! shares the same mechanics as Overboard!, its story is full of surprises, intriguing characters, and unexpected twists that keep us interested in solving the mystery. Few games offer a detective experience like this one. It's especially perfect for portable platforms like Switch, phones, or Steam Deck due to its short, 15-20 minute game structure.

8.2 / 10.0 - Split Fiction
Mar 4, 2025

While it follows the same vein as It Takes Two and will undoubtedly appeal to fans of that game, it's not just "more of the same." Split Fiction has some very crazy and original ideas when it comes to creating minigames and new gameplay experiences amid a story about creativity and the importance of artistic expression that's very relevant today. Not all of its ideas work, it underuses its narrative a bit, and it has some minor technical issues, but it's definitely one of the best two-player multiplayer experiences I can recommend. Don't miss it.

743 / 5,000 Monster Hunter Wilds is as good as World, and that's excellent. Its gameplay systems, captivating setting, and awesome monsters work in perfect harmony to deliver an experience that can keep us hooked for hundreds of hours while we farm the gear we want and have fun with friends. The story is the best in the series so far, and while it has some thing that don't work, it's a good effort. It's a great game, but I lament the lack of innovation and willingness to take risks that the series demonstrated in Monster Hunter Rise and the loss of a certain friction that made hunts more interesting. That and the occasional performance hitches are issues, but they don't make the game any less fun.

7.5 / 10.0 - Cabernet
Feb 20, 2025

As a fan of vampire stories, Cabernet gave me exactly what I wanted: a narrative-driven RPG that let me be the kind of bloodsucker I wanted to be while dealing with the dramas of vampire society and human relationships that could change as soon as I felt a bit of bloodlust. While the character animations didn't quite convince me and I was severely plagued by constant bugs, I fell in love with this game and will play it again just to see what kind of vampire I become if I make different choices.

It offers a take on the classic and beloved match-3 game with a strong visual identity, but it doesn't take any mechanical risks. The story mode isn't anything special and lacks the option to play online, but its well-defined aesthetic, varied character designs, and relaxing tone could win it many fans.

8.2 / 10.0 - Botany Manor
Jan 28, 2025

While I certainly wanted more plants and puzzles, Botany Manor's short duration and relatively low difficulty are perfectly suited. It's a calm and enjoyable experience in a very colorful world that makes us reflect on the role of women in science and smile when we make a plant flower.

The Stone of Madness captivated me from the first few minutes with its wide variety of stealth options, mysterious plot, and excellent setting. Not even the annoying bugs I encountered and a few frustrating points I had to redo countless times made me hesitate to keep playing, but less patient gamers might be less tolerant of its difficulty.

The hours I spent with Mika and the Witch's Mountain weren't many, but they were very enjoyable. What it lacks in mechanical depth, it makes up for with calming gameplay systems, a very relaxing setting, and a heartwarming anti-capitalist plot about community life. It's not a huge challenge or an epic adventure, but it's the comforting experience many of us need right now.

Jan 14, 2025

Freedom Wars Remastered offers thrilling Monster Hunter-style multiplayer action in an intriguing dystopian world, but the improvements over the original are mere cosmetic improvements. It feels dated in many ways, the missions can be repetitive, and its narrative undermines its seemingly revolutionary intentions. It's a good game, and we're glad it's been revived, but it doesn't offer anything special.

8 / 10.0 - Forspoken
Feb 10, 2023

Even after seeing the ending, we kept playing because we fell in love with Forspoken, its protagonist, its exciting combat, and the fun way we use magical parkour to navigate the world. It's true that the story isn't particularly original and progression seemed very slow at first, but we believe that many of the criticisms leveled at its dialogue and protagonist are unfounded. Frey is one of the most charismatic heroines we've played recently, and it's easy to empathize with her, even at her worst.
