Despite its inspirations and a cool setting, Raji does not live up to a great experience, with frustating segments and many bugs.

A nice distraction for those seeking a new horror game. But do not expect too much.

This story driven game inspired in the works of H.P. Lovecraft falls into to many tropes to stand on its own.

Memories of Mars may be appealing to fans of survival and resources management, but it's limited to boring mechanics and dated visuals.

No Recommendation / Blank - Grandia HD Collection
Apr 13, 2024

A disappointing collection in terms of options and extras, but two absolutely unmissable RPGs.

No Recommendation / Blank - Alone in the Dark (2024)
Mar 23, 2024

An attempt to reinvent the series without distorting the obvious inspirations of the original title, where creativity was lacking in its narrative and in the tiresome gameplay that never knows what it wants to be.

No Recommendation / Blank - Granblue Fantasy: Relink
Mar 17, 2024

Lost in time and lost in its own design, but it's possible to see glimpses of creativity in the cooperative combat and its focus on online modes.

No Recommendation / Blank - Air Twister
Nov 26, 2023

Occasionally fun but filled with modes that add little to the classic formula, Air Twister is a project as strange as it is nostalgic.

Another roguelike to close out the year 2023.

No Recommendation / Blank - Trepang2
Nov 3, 2023

"Despite its peaks of intensity, Trepang2 is more predictable and less focused than it should be."

Nov 3, 2023

Returning to the icy world of Quebec and reconnecting with private detective Carl Faubert felt like rediscovering a long-lost memory.

No Recommendation / Blank - Hellboy Web of Wyrd
Nov 3, 2023

With a game that seems to have been forced to be something it was never conceptualized to be, Upstream Arcade shows just how challenging it is to create a good roguelike.

Those who seek for everything, loses everything. That's the fate of Ascendant Studios' first title.

No Recommendation / Blank - GYLT
Jul 31, 2023

GYLT falls short of expectations despite promising so much. The theme is strong, but the game relies on clichés and predictable plot twists instead of making a genuine effort to be impactful and memorable in its portrayal. It feels like a minimal attempt to address a powerful theme, and as a result, the good intention gets lost, and the theme becomes diluted by the gameplay.

No Recommendation / Blank - Gunfire Reborn
Jul 2, 2023

Gunfire Reborn does not have a single innovative element in its retention loop, and I say this seriously. The campaign's pace, level structure, division into closed zones filled with enemies, the constant search for more powerful weapons, the setback to the beginning when we lose, and even the inclusion of a skill tree – this is the roguelike experience as stated in the instruction manual.

May 19, 2023

While GrimGrimoire OnceMore may overwhelm players with its numerous mechanics and lack of narrative freedom, it also offers a vibrant glimpse into Vanillaware's roots.

No Recommendation / Blank - Meg's Monster
May 10, 2023

While the emphasis on safeguarding a young girl sets Meg's Monster apart from other games, the adventure fails to deliver a captivating experience that will keep players invested.

No Recommendation / Blank - Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse
Mar 31, 2023

The preservation of video games is a positive outcome, but this chapter of the renowned horror series is the safest and least exciting.

No Recommendation / Blank - ONI: Road to Be the Mightiest Oni
Mar 20, 2023

Despite its heart and soul, this game gets bogged down in one of the most uninspired gameplay mechanics of the year.

No Recommendation / Blank - Rogue Spirit
Mar 20, 2023

The roguelike wheel turns once more and we're left with a game that's solid but ultimately forgettable, though it does offer some interesting ideas to ponder.
