Absolum mostly wins you over with its strong mix of variation, challenge, and aesthetics. The roguelite builds a mysterious world with intriguing characters, and the gameplay constantly pushes you to improve. You do start to notice some repetition after a few runs, especially in the early stages. Still, the drive to optimize and progress remains strong, overall, it’s a solid and very enjoyable experience.

Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & The White Guardian isn’t a revolutionary JRPG, but it’s a delightful one. Strong protagonists, accessible combat, and a colorful presentation make it engaging for both newcomers and veterans. Cameos from familiar alchemists add nostalgia, though the shop mechanic feels underused. Despite minor shortcomings, it’s a cozy and well-crafted addition to the Atelier series.

TRON: Catalyst brings the Arq Grid vividly to life with an engaging story, convincing characters, and standout voice acting, but despite these strengths, it feels underutilized—offering little beyond the main plot, fading combat depth, and a visually dark world, ultimately making it a game that fans can enjoy but that falls just short of realizing its full potential.

Sugardew Island has the potential to be a cozy farming sim, but its simplistic approach works against it. While the game looks beautiful and plays smoothly, repetitive gameplay and flat NPCs prevent the island from truly coming to life. It’s a relaxing experience for casual players, but seasoned farming sim fans may find it is a missed opportunity.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage - Tape 1 completely drew me into the mysteries of Velvet Cove and hasn’t let go even after finishing, with Swann, Kat, Nora, and Autumn’s friendships stealing the show despite some technical hiccups; while the story could have picked up the pace sooner and given more time between time jumps, its gripping start leaves me eagerly awaiting the next chapter in April, as the fate of the friend group remains a mystery.
