A Spoonful of Wonder had its heart in the right place, and Copycat earns some of its more emotional moments, but the final message isn’t always clear, and the gameplay holds back what could’ve been a fresh perspective within the genre.

Good ideas alone can’t save MercurySteam’s latest title from bad design choices, like the frequently confusing exploration and a combat system that, while ambitious, is still held back by its own mechanics.

Far Out Games Studio’s debut title shows a lot of potential, but it’s held back by weak world design and a lack of originality in its main missions.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a new adventure for the Turtles, and their foray into the roguelike genre is mostly positive, though ultimately unremarkable. The game features various systems to explore, plenty of customisation and progression options, and all four Turtles have been designed for close, mid, and even long-range combat with unique abilities. Unfortunately, the fights become predictable, difficulty spikes often feel unexpected and even undeserved, and the campaign’s linearity — with no option to choose the next arena — eventually becomes tiring due to its rigid, repetitive structure. It’s a good game with solid ideas and a narrative focus that fans of the franchise will appreciate, but it’s far from the most replayable roguelike currently available.

After several years of waiting, Post Trauma is finally available on PC and consoles, but what could have been a solid tribute to the horror genre turns out to be a series of disappointing choices that only make us appreciate the classic survival horrors even more.

There are moments when the title from Primal Game Studio works as a solid 2D action RPG, but the closer it leans into soulslike and metroidvania territory, the more it feels hollow — and even infuriating.

The puppet who dreamed of becoming a real boy gave rise to one of the most notable soulslikes in the genre, which, two years after its release, still enjoys remarkable popularity.

With a new perspective and a focus on co-op play, the sequel tries to expand on the first game’s sarcastic humour and exploration, but does very little with the formula and quickly becomes repetitive.

Haste stands out within the roguelike format and will certainly find its fans, but it becomes repetitive in the very moments where it should grow and evolve mechanically.

A soulslike that sticks closely to the formula in terms of level design and combat system, but manages to introduce a few mechanical elements that refresh its gameplay and raise it to the level of a “solid pick” for fans of the genre.

A heavyweight collection featuring two absolute classics of the genre that will delight any fan — and, unfortunately, confirmed that I’m not a huge fan of Suikoden.

An analysis shaped by the stress of daily life and personal doubts, in a branching narrative that does not reach the inventiveness of The Stanley Parable and The Beginner’s Guide, but makes up for its shortcomings with sincerity and humanism. Unfortunately, the gameplay does not keep up with the narrative, falling into clichés that undermine the themes when it should be elevating them.

There's no time to stop in this roguelike inspired by ultra-violent anime, set in a world of streaming and billionaires, where views are the future, and our lives only matter as long as the audience keeps cheering for us.
