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.

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.

"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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

Deathtrap combines tower defense, third-person action, and roguelike elements into a chaotic yet satisfying experience, offering fresh missions with unique War Mages and traps, an engaging Gamble Forward system, and standout multiplayer (with custom lobbies), though held back by a lack of tutorial, clunky navigation, and some quirks that fans of strategic chaos will need to embrace.
