85% - Nocturne
Oct 29, 2026

Nocturne is a fantastic indie RPG that successfully blends Guitar Hero-style rhythm gameplay with traditional RPG mechanics. Its gorgeous pixel art, outstanding soundtrack, memorable characters, and heartfelt story make exploring its digital afterlife a delight. Creative boss battles, surprisingly deep combat customization, and challenging rhythm sequences keep the experience engaging. While some encounters drag on too long and certain character arcs feel rushed, these shortcomings do little to diminish an imaginative and thoroughly enjoyable adventure full of heart.

Stupid Never Dies is a stylish and energetic zombie action game full of absurd humor, memorable characters, and creative monster transformations. Its striking comic-book visuals, excellent soundtrack, and surprisingly heartfelt story make it easy to love. Unfortunately, shallow combat, repetitive roguelite levels, and unnecessarily complicated upgrade systems prevent it from reaching its full potential. Despite these shortcomings, it's a charming and entertaining adventure with plenty of personality and heart.

76% - Hubert
Oct 21, 2026

Hubert is a charming and heartwarming adventure that makes up for its shortcomings with a lovable protagonist, delightful humor, and an emotional story. Excellent voice acting, a beautiful soundtrack, and a cozy atmosphere make this short journey surprisingly memorable. Unfortunately, repetitive sheep-herding sections, overly simplistic stealth and combat, stiff animations, and technical issues hold it back. Despite these flaws, Hubert remains a genuinely enjoyable and touching experience that's easy to recommend to fans of cozy games.

Nighthawks is a fantastic spiritual successor to Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, capturing the feeling of truly living as a vampire. Its excellent writing, memorable characters, meaningful choices, and gorgeous hand-drawn artwork create an incredibly immersive RPG experience. While the overwhelming amount of text, occasional pacing issues, and clunky interface hold it back slightly, Nighthawks remains one of the most engaging and atmospheric vampire RPGs in years.

SiN Reloaded is exactly the kind of remaster this underrated '90s FPS deserves. Nightdive successfully modernizes the experience without sacrificing its original charm. Excellent gunplay, satisfying gore, varied objectives, and a fantastic soundtrack make it a blast to play. Some confusing level design, outdated AI, and occasional difficulty spikes still show their age, but they do little to diminish an otherwise excellent return to a cult classic.

80% - Polda 5.5
Oct 9, 2026

Polda 5.5 is a surprisingly enjoyable nostalgic return that captures much of the charm of the older games. With a well-paced story, excellent voice acting, and appealing visuals, it delivers a delightful point-and-click adventure. Some outdated jokes and occasionally unintuitive puzzles remain, but they do little to spoil the fun.

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is a wonderfully faithful adaptation that captures the franchise’s grotesque beauty through outstanding atmosphere, brutal gore, memorable Labyrinth sequences, strong combat, and Doug Bradley’s return as Pinhead. Frustrating stealth sections, awkward melee dodging, limited inventory space, weapon durability, and a few repetitive boss encounters reveal its rougher edges, but the overall experience feels remarkably close to playing through a genuine Hellraiser film.

Silver Pines is a wonderfully surreal metroidvania-survival horror hybrid that excels through its Lynchian atmosphere, rewarding exploration, constant sense of progression, clever environmental puzzles, excellent soundtrack, and a mysterious story that leaves plenty of room for interpretation. Frustrating encounters with multiple enemies, fairly simple boss fights, restrictive inventory management, and some intrusive survival mechanics occasionally disrupt the flow, but they do little to diminish an experience that is remarkably easy to get lost in. jsemgamer.cz

Kusan: City of Wolves is a worthy successor to Hotline Miami, delivering brutally fast top-down combat built around excellent parries, the versatile War-Hand, the Quantum Knife, improvised weapons, and instant restarts that make its 54 handcrafted stages endlessly replayable. Abrupt difficulty spikes, occasional visual confusion, an underdeveloped story, and a soundtrack that never becomes quite as iconic as its inspiration hold it back slightly, but the stylish neo-noir presentation and razor-sharp combat make this one of the strongest games of its kind in years.

85% - Rivage
Sep 30, 2026

Rivage is a smart sci-fi puzzle adventure that combines a mysterious space-station setting with a wide variety of escape-room challenges, clever use of its K9 information system, and a time-loop mechanic that adds an extra layer of planning. Some puzzles can become frustrating, the loop may feel repetitive for certain players, and the lack of a more detailed progress journal can make navigation confusing, but puzzle enthusiasts should find plenty to enjoy.

Magical Blush is a charming action-adventure with a strong elemental magic system, rewarding exploration, lovely pixel art, and abilities that meaningfully open new paths through its colorful world. Repetitive combat waves, underdeveloped characters, occasionally frustrating traversal, and inconsistent auto-targeting hurt the pacing, but its best ideas still make it an easy recommendation for players who enjoy exploration-heavy magical adventures.

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is an outstanding JRPG remake that delivers a deeply emotional, character-driven story, exceptional world-building, and a refined combat system blending real-time action with tactical turn-based battles. Its expanded mechanics, memorable cast, and substantial campaign make it an essential continuation of Estelle’s journey, with only a slightly slow opening, recycled locations, and occasionally dated environmental design holding back an otherwise unforgettable adventure.

Silent Hill: Townfall is a breathtaking psychological horror adventure that brings a fresh perspective to the series through immersive first-person exploration, an emotionally compelling story, excellent environmental puzzles, and a wonderfully atmospheric Scottish setting. Its inventive CRTV mechanic makes stealth genuinely tense, while frustrating enemy AI, limited monster variety, simplistic combat, and occasional crashes are the main shortcomings of an otherwise exceptional return to Silent Hill.

Starsand Island is a charming and content-rich cozy life sim that shines through its beautiful anime-inspired world, interconnected professions, rewarding animal husbandry, and extensive home-building options. However, repetitive crafting tasks, shallow combat, underdeveloped relationships, cumbersome building controls, and limited shared progression in multiplayer leave its many promising systems feeling uneven, preventing this lovely island from truly coming to life.

Asdivine Knot is a charming old-school JRPG with a promising story about faith and guilt, an eccentric cast, and enjoyable turn-based combat enhanced by the shared Nexus system. Its rewarding airship progression and convenient quality-of-life features make it an appealing adventure for genre fans, although repetitive dungeons, uneven pacing, poorly balanced difficulty, and lingering mobile-style monetization prevent its strongest ideas from reaching their full potential.

Lou’s Lagoon is a charming cozy adventure that combines enjoyable seaplane exploration, colorful tropical islands, satisfying resource gathering, and a rewarding sense of rebuilding communities at your own pace. However, repetitive delivery quests, underdeveloped characters, shallow home customization, and technical issues, particularly on Switch 2, occasionally disrupt the relaxing experience, leaving some of its promising ideas underused.

Graveyard Keeper 2 is a bigger, more ambitious sequel that expands its wonderfully morbid management formula with deeper automation, town restoration, a stronger story, and the series’ signature dark humor. Faster movement and improved travel address some of the original’s frustrations, but excessive grinding, poorly explained systems, repetitive fetch quests, simplistic combat, and technical issues, particularly on Steam Deck, mean that many old problems remain buried just beneath the surface.

Crimson Moon is an enjoyable and accessible blend of soulslike combat and roguelite progression, offering satisfying parries, brutal executions, rewarding build customization, and a spectacular gothic atmosphere backed by an excellent metal soundtrack. Its two-player co-op and persistent upgrades make repeated runs worthwhile, but static environments, limited enemy variety, a forgettable story, and frustrating camera issues prevent this otherwise solid action RPG from reaching its full potential.

Blue Reflection Quartet is a charming collection that brings together the series’ melancholic storytelling, heartfelt character relationships, beautiful soundtrack, and two enjoyable JRPGs, while also preserving the previously discontinued Blue Reflection: Sun. Quality-of-life improvements and helpful lore materials make it an excellent entry point for newcomers, although the underwhelming Ray adaptation, dated elements of the original game, uneven quality across the collection, and missing DLC prevent it from becoming the definitive edition fans might have hoped for.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword delivers a spectacular return for the series, combining deep, fluid sword combat, outstanding boss fights, brutal finishers, and a surprisingly engaging story with a charismatic Miyamoto Musashi. Its excellent main missions, striking atmosphere, and expressive character animations shine, but repetitive side activities, unnecessary grinding, limited enemy variety, and an overly stretched campaign prevent this otherwise fantastic action adventure from reaching its full potential.
