While the gameplay is very pacifist and relaxing, Submerged: Hidden Depths devalues ​​its strengths by insisting on a gameplay that refuses to evolve over the five hours of the campaign.

Mar 3, 2022

Martha is Dead presents itself with an interesting story with suspense and one hefty dose of psychological horror, that it gets lost in the overall narrative and lacks better and polished mechanics.

If Rockay City was more than its references, its gameplay could shine, but what remains are uninteresting modes and a failed attempt to inject some novelty into the roguelike genre.

The repetition and lack of inventiveness in the gameplay end up damaging a story full of homage and a scathing analysis of the current state of the video game industry.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX it's a faithful recreation of the original, a time capsule for the fans, that fails to invite to newcomers to the series with old school gameplay and progression.
