End of Abyss is a welcome surprise, combining oppressive atmosphere, excellent sound design, rewarding exploration, and engaging boss fights. Although its dependable pistol, awkward controls, and demanding navigation need refinement, they have not diminished the fun. After 15 hours, it stands among my indie highlights of the year.
Final Fantasy Resonance captures the appeal of classic Final Fantasy with strong writing, beautiful presentation, flexible Visions, engaging summons, and rewarding nostalgic connections. Limited maps, repetitive dungeons, delayed encounter controls, unclear dialogue choices, and overly forgiving early combat hold it back, but never overshadow its strengths. For me, it feels like the team’s best work—an adventure absolutely worth your time, with the potential to become a cult classic and one of its biggest successes outside Octopath.
Hellraiser Revival delivers excellent atmosphere, extreme body horror, and satisfying survival horror systems. Its reactive merchant, rewarding exploration, and challenging bosses give it substance beyond the shock value. Uneven animations, demanding weapon maintenance, and occasional interface frustrations hold it back, but they never outweigh how effectively it pulled me into its disturbing world. For horror fans who enjoy the first-person approach of Resident Evil 7 and want something that fully embraces Hellraiser's brutality, this is an easy recommendation.
