7.5 / 10.0 - Know By Heart...
Feb 26, 2022

A sentimental and deceptively simple game that tries to talk to us about fixation on the past and the ability to let go – sometimes against our will.

8 / 10.0 - 12 Minutes
Sep 18, 2021

Definitely one of the most interesting, intriguing, fresh detective games in recent years, but I can't shake the feeling that all the possibilities of a well-thought-out formula are not being used.

The Magnificent Trufflepigs is a kind of game as a psychotherapy session in which we, with the help of a metal detector and the characters, try to find what's wrong with us.

7.5 / 10.0 - Maquette
Mar 14, 2021

Indie-folk, bright colors, bittersweet love-story, nice recursive puzzles: this "500 Days of Summer" of gaming really could succeed, but imperfect level design and gap between form and content interferes.

8.5 / 10.0 - Spiritfarer
Sep 12, 2020

Spiritfarer tries to become a bittersweet balm for loss wounds, but slightly misses the status of a masterpiece without collecting a handful of mini-catharses into one big one at the end.

7.5 / 10.0 - If Found...
Jun 6, 2020

A hot topic, spectacular drawing, unusual surroundings… Good try, but If Found... lacks interactivity and fails to dive deep into the chosen topic.

10 / 10.0 - Disco Elysium
Oct 20, 2019

Literature-centric game, full of unexpected references and non-standard accents. Detective noir meets deep and charming old-school RPG and going to real masterpiece

Unscored - Pathologic 2
Jun 2, 2019

Sometimes mockingly difficult, sometimes archaic, full of charm (both negative and positive), extremely atmospheric and very deep, Pathologic 2 can be included in the compulsory program on acquaintance with games as art objects. It is the only one. Now in two faces.
