Lily’s World XD is a short but powerful game with plenty of unique elements. The mystery surrounding the disappearance of the teenage girl Lily is captivating and full of original twists. There’s also a beautiful message behind the story, though it can be a bit heavy-handed at times.

Brigandine Abyss is a game with many facets. It has all the typical elements of a good SRPG: the tactical gameplay is solid, the whole invasion concept is engaging, and there’s plenty of depth. At the same time, there are also clear shortcomings: the story isn’t all that great, the AI is inconsistent, and the animations and character portraits simply look terrible.

Duskfade is a tribute to 3D platformers that fully captures what makes the genre so much fun. Is this a milestone in the genre? Well, not exactly, but don't let that stop you.

Despite some obvious shortcomings, Moss remains a really fun, fairy-tale-like experience. Don't have a VR headset but have always wanted to try these games? Then Moss: The Forgotten Relic is definitely worth your time!

I was hopeful that Echoes of Aincrad would be more than “just another licensed anime game.” Unfortunately, the game doesn’t really rise above that label, though it’s not a bad action-JRPG by any means either.

With The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, Square Enix has once again delivered a compelling JRPG. This incredibly charming HD-2D time-travel adventure may not be a complete revolution for the genre, but it’s a quintessentially cozy JRPG adventure with all the hallmarks of the genre.

Luna Abyss is weird, chaotic and completely unafraid to do its own thing.

For fans of the series, Directive 8020 is still worth checking out, but the formula is starting to wear thin.

I've got a lot of respect for Capcom and Pragmata: releasing a brand-new game that isn't tied to any existing universe is quite a gamble. Fortunately, that risk paid off for Pragmata.

What could have been a grand return for a franchise that has been waiting for a new installment for over two decades turns out to be a mediocre letdown.

My trip to Minakami Village in FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE was terrible, but in this case, that's meant as a huge compliment.

Yes, this remaster has quite a few strengths, but at the same time you also get clunky controls, a camera that behaves like a rebellious teenager, and a combat system that (despite not being bad) does get boring after a while - it's an entertaining ride, but in 2026 you can't help but notice its age.

Ys X: Proud Nordics is a great pick for newcomers seeking a solid JRPG with an entertaining story and flashy combat in its most complete form, but for returning players the added content doesn’t justify the full price and feels like it should have been inexpensive DLC.

BlazBlue Entropy Effect X is a fantastic and highly addictive action roguelike with smooth, responsive gameplay, great build variety through its skill-inheritance system, striking but sometimes overly busy visuals, a forgettable techno-babble story, and a rock-solid focus on what really matters: excellent gameplay.

Dragon Quest VII returns as a charming, better-paced JRPG with refreshed combat and visuals that stay true to the original, and while clunky menus, weaker story beats, and excessive text can frustrate, they don’t detract too much from an otherwise delightful and content-rich adventure.

In a world full of Soulslikes, Code Vein II manages to stand out in its own unique way, offering entertaining (if not very deep) storytelling with a fun time-travel twist and strong, flexible combat, though technical issues, visual glitches, and some repetitive environments keep it from greatness. However, it remains a great pick for fans of challenging action RPGs (and waifus).

The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon successfully continues the Calvard arc with a strong story, colorful cast, and deep, flexible combat, and while its slow start and overwhelming systems make it far from beginner-friendly, those who push through are rewarded with a massive, memorable adventure full of standout moments.

Demonschool delivers a stylish blend of offbeat humor, engaging battles, and light social mechanics, even if its drawn-out pacing and technical roughness keep it from fully realizing its devilish potential.
