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.

Capes offers a refreshing take on the superhero genre that can captivate even those who aren't fans of superheroes. The engaging storyline, unique characters, and challenging gameplay make it a game worth playing if you enjoy turn-based tactical games. Although some characters and their abilities aren't always perfectly balanced, the overall experience is more than enjoyable. The turn-based battles, combined with the rich narrative elements, provide an immersive and sometimes even demanding challenge. Capes stands out well from standard superhero games, and that alone makes it worth trying.

V Rising is a survival RPG where you play as a vampire striving to rebuild the glory of vampires and establish dominance over the world. Set in the gothic world of Vardoran, you explore various biomes, gather resources, and face different challenges. The game emphasizes progression through acquiring better gear, expanding and maintaining your castle, and mastering various vampiric abilities by drinking blood for bonuses and new powers. The day-night cycle and vampiric weaknesses add strategic depth and a new level of challenge. Despite the enjoyable gameplay, the time investment and competitive nature on live servers can be challenging for players with busy schedules. However, if you have plenty of time to invest in V Rising, it’s definitely a game worth playing. Otherwise, private servers might be a viable alternative.

"Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior combines action-adventure with puzzle elements, and the mechanic of using Remnants to defeat enemies and bosses shows great potential. Unfortunately, it feels more like a gimmick with underdeveloped execution. The story lacks depth and is quite predictable, and there’s little incentive to explore or replay encounters. Despite a promising start, the game ultimately feels like a missed opportunity."

"Persona 3 Reload is a commendable and polished remake that revitalizes a classic RPG. With improved graphics, Quality-of-Life enhancements, and engaging Social Link gameplay, it offers a highly enjoyable experience. While it retains the strengths of the original Persona 3 and adds features from Persona 5, it falls short of being the ultimate version due to missing content from Persona 3 FES and Persona 3 Portable. Still, it’s a must-play for both series veterans and newcomers."

A Total War Saga: Troy is a solid strategy game with almost all the elements that we have come to expect from the previous Total War games. In this section there is a lot of experimentation with new features, such as the Divine Will, weight classes of military units and managing five different resources instead of just money. While one feature works out better than another, they all offer a refreshing new feature in a series that has always been great in its own right. Adding the new features does mean that it can be a bit overwhelming at times, because there are so many things to micromanage. Once you understand how it works, you can spend hours playing war.

Parkasaurus is a light-hearted, cheerful and slightly derpy management game starring alien dinosaurs. The game has a story, but that is otherwise not really interesting or logical. The game is easy to pick up and offers enough possibilities for more depth. This is unfortunately underused, especially in Campaign mode, so you won't be penalized if you don't micromanage everything. This in turn ensures that the game remains light at all times. Digging for fossils through the puzzle minigame is a nice addition that provides some variety, but in my opinion they could have exchanged the first-person mode for ultrawide support. All in all, the game mainly provides liters of light-hearted entertainment and that is of course the most important thing. Oh, and something about hats.
