Knights in Tight Spaces combines genres with a unique visual style and deep combat system, where strategic enemy manipulation through pushing and pulling keeps gameplay engaging, and deckbuilding adds an extra layer of strategy; however, a flawed UI and unbalanced decks hinder the experience, making it enjoyable for tactical deckbuilder fans despite a steep learning curve and occasional RNG frustration—though with some refinements, it could become a true classic rather than a rough diamond in need of polishing.

Everhood 2 delivers a unique rhythm-based combat system, vibrant worlds, and a strong soundtrack, but repetitive enemies and unnecessary RPG elements hold it back, making it an interesting yet flawed experience for fans of unconventional RPGs.

Two Point Museum delivers the same lighthearted humor and accessible gameplay as the rest of the series, with a fun career mode, diverse museum themes that keep things fresh, a well-balanced mix of education and entertainment (though the decoration system lacks depth), engaging expeditions as an immersive twist on the classic R&D mechanic, and an entertaining—if somewhat shallow—management system, making it a charming and enjoyable experience that fans of the Two Point series will surely appreciate.

Avowed is a solid RPG that borrows elements from Skyrim while maintaining its own identity, featuring a deep story, impactful choices, and a beautifully crafted world; its combat is versatile but hindered by the lack of a lock-on and dodge roll, exploration is rewarding with rich lore and meaningful side quests, companions are well-written but could be stronger in combat, and while the absence of romance options may disappoint some, the game remains a must-play for RPG fans seeking an immersive and open-ended experience.

Afterlove EP is an atmospheric visual novel with a unique Indonesian setting, a touching story, and strong music, though limited choices, a distracting rhythm minigame, and missing voice acting hold it back, yet it still resonates emotionally, especially for those connected to its culture or themes.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is a unique RPG focused on choices, risks, and survival in a hostile universe, where dice mechanics and a new stress system add tension and narrative freedom, while strong writing and layered decisions elevate the story—though its lack of action and slow pace may not appeal to everyone, fans of narrative-driven RPGs with distinctive gameplay will find much to enjoy.

Planet Coaster 2 introduces welcome features like pools, water rides, and improved tools, but falls short in key areas, with interface issues, lackluster management mechanics, limited content, and performance problems that make the game feel incomplete; while there are charming moments for diehard fans, as a full-priced theme park simulation, it ultimately disappoints and feels more like an unfinished Early Access title.

Metaphor: ReFantazio delivers a rich experience with stunning art direction, a layered story, and a deep Archetype system for strategic team-building and engaging turn-based combat. While the grotesque bosses are visual highlights, the real-time combat feels less refined, and the social system, though adding depth, lacks innovation. Still, it's a must-play for JRPG fans, blending familiar mechanics with refreshing twists.

"Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club is a captivating visual novel that immerses players in a dark tale blending a modern murder mystery with a chilling urban legend. The beautifully crafted visuals, atmospheric music, and strong voice acting enhance the experience, drawing you deeper into Emio's ominous world. However, the story is occasionally hindered by frustrating gameplay mechanics that make interactions feel repetitive and unnatural. Despite these flaws, fans of narrative-driven games with a taste for suspense and mystery will find Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club a memorable experience."

The Crush House has great potential to be a unique game in a quirky niche, but it falls just short of being the fantastic experience it could have been.

Thank Goodness You're Here is, despite its simplicity, a true masterpiece that does everything it should do right. The entire game feels like a well-thought-out project into which a lot of love and attention has been poured. The jokes are superb, and the game is short enough that you don't tire of the humor. The simple art style and the hilarious voice acting in a Northern English dialect are the perfect additions to this very simple but effective formula. I'm incredibly glad that Thank Goodness You're Here is here.

Crown Wars: The Black Prince features an intriguing medieval setting and turn-based tactical gameplay with significant potential. The various classes and unique abilities add depth, and the concept of a castle as a central hub is a logical choice with plenty of possibilities. Unfortunately, the experience is hindered by clunky graphics and animations, mediocre voice-overs, and an artificially high difficulty level. Balance issues and excessive use of timers make the game more tiring and frustrating than challenging and enjoyable. Overall, the game currently feels more like a mobile game port than a fully-fledged tactical RPG.
