The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales features absolutely enchanting worlds brimming with stories, characters, and all sorts of details. I definitely enjoyed exploring everything right through to the end. Of course, I could have used a few more books, so I’m hoping the developers will release some DLC. If you love books with stories that pull you in, this game is made just for you.

The game Testament: The Order of High Human has several strengths, such as its visual design, animation, and puzzles. These aspects are executed beautifully, but then flaws begin to emerge that are hard to overlook. Close-quarters combat with a sword is quite frustrating, and the AI literally does whatever it wants, whenever it wants. It’s definitely worth a try for fans of the genre, but this game certainly deserves some further tweaks.

7 / 10.0 - Hotel Renovator
Jul 18, 2023

If you're a fan of simulation, building, and cleaning games—such as House Flipper—you're sure to enjoy Hotel Renovator as well. The game is definitely a relaxing experience where you can enjoy the process of demolition, tearing things down, and subsequent renovation. Hotel Renovator is engaging enough to keep you entertained for several hours and distract you from the real chores at home. Don’t be afraid to let your imagination run wild, and feel free to draw inspiration from others’ creations as you build your own unique hotel.

8.5 / 10.0 - Lords & Villeins
Jul 17, 2023

Lords and Villeins is a pixel art game that’s highly addictive, even for new players. Although I’m not a big fan of this genre, I really appreciated the clear and concise help section, where everything is explained perfectly. If you enjoy building cities, you’ll undoubtedly love this game.

The remake of Pocket Mirror: GoldenerTraum is an absolutely enchanting and breathtaking horror JRPG released this year. Each character infuses the world around them with their own personality. It’s all complemented by a perfect soundtrack and a mysterious story hidden between the lines. What more could you ask for? If you’re familiar with the original version and love it, you’ll absolutely adore this one.

4 / 10.0 - Shame Legacy
Jul 16, 2023

Shame Legacy has a decent setting, but its stealth mechanics are quite frustrating, and its content bears a striking resemblance to other horror titles (and not just a few). It’s a below-average offering for the price. In my humble opinion, the game needs several fixes and improvements. For now, it remains a poor horror experience for me, which is a shame.

8 / 10.0 - Serial Cleaners
Jun 26, 2023

Serial Cleaners features quirky characters you’ll simply fall in love with. The game is fresh and entertaining. Even as the difficulty ramps up, you’ll still enjoy sneaking past guards, destroying evidence, and—most of all—vacuuming up blood (it just has a certain charm, even in the snow). Plus, the constant strategizing will keep your brain engaged. Add to that some laid-back jazz-inspired music and a mafia boss, and you’re in for a treat. So grab your vacuum and head out to clean up the streets of New York.

I played Someday You’ll Return as soon as it came out. I bought the special edition and was already thrilled with it back then. A psychological horror game set in places I know and can actually visit is just amazing. And what’s this improved version like? For me personally, it’s even better, more dynamic, scarier—all of that is complemented by new puzzles, an ending, and lovely music. I have no choice but to happily recommend this game to you. So hurry up and head to the Moravian forests to save Stela.

5 / 10.0 - Eresys
Jun 15, 2023

Another game set in the Cthulhu universe feels like something a dog and a cat might have cooked up. It’s a fleeting distraction that’s quickly replaced by boredom. Although it has an interesting concept, it leaves you wondering why it was released in the first place. I think the coming months will show whether the developers will fill the game with enough interesting content, or whether it will fade into obscurity.

6 / 10.0 - Lil Gator Game
May 30, 2023

Lil Gator is a short, charming game with a main story that lasts just under four hours. You’ll definitely love exploring every corner of the island and making new friends. We all have to grow up eventually, but Lil Gator is a wonderful reminder of why we should never completely stop being kids.

7.5 / 10.0 - Castle Morihisa
May 28, 2023

Castle Morihisa is a real visual gem. The controls are simple and easy to grasp. My only criticism of this game is that when you finish it, you get points that are completely useless (you can’t buy anything with them or unlock anything new). Your only satisfaction, then, is that you’ve successfully finished the game. Then you can pick another character and try again.

8 / 10.0 - The Shore
May 19, 2023

This game is definitely for all H. P. Lovecraft fans, but others are sure to find something to enjoy here as well. That might include puzzles of varying difficulty that will take you longer than you expected and really make you think. Horror lovers will certainly appreciate the terrifying atmosphere, the well-crafted story, a few good jump scares, and monsters that literally step out of your nightmares. The mysterious atmosphere of this enigmatic island is enhanced by music that evokes a sense of anxiety and paints a picture of the all-encompassing horror that surrounds you. The graphics are absolutely incredible. You feel as if you’re standing there, with the sea breeze about to brush your face at any moment. Everything here is gloomy and dark—simply Lovecraftian.

8 / 10.0 - Home Sweet Home
May 7, 2023

Home Sweet Home is a horror game that will give you quite a few good scares. However, there are also moments when you’ll just have had enough of the game. For me personally, that was the sound of Bellino’s saw—it’s going to haunt me for weeks to come. If you love folklore, legends, and mysterious stories, and you want to get really scared in the process, Home Sweet Home is just for you. So don’t wait—go help Tim save his beloved Jane.

9 / 10.0 - The Last Spell
May 4, 2023

The Last Spell is definitely not the easiest game, but every time you fail, you’ll come back a little more experienced and even more determined to succeed this time. With six difficulty levels, this game is perfect even for the most die-hard hardcore gamers. Take on the role of a leader and save the world from destruction.

8.5 / 10.0 - Anglerfish
Apr 23, 2023

Anglerfish was a very pleasant surprise. I love its art style and sense of humor. It always managed to surprise me with something new, whether it was a different way to die or some small twist. By the end, I was actually sad that it was over. I definitely recommend this game.

Personally, I can’t recommend Priest Simulator highly enough. It caught my attention with its original, if unconventional, concept. It’s definitely a wild ride that shouldn’t be missing from your game library. The game teaches you how to become the best vampire Christian priest, and it’s packed with dark humor and an incredible soundtrack. And remember, as one good book says: “The only good Satanist is a dead Satanist.” Now just put on your gloves and let’s get to it.

7.5 / 10.0 - Corpse Keeper
Apr 16, 2023

Corpse Keeper offers a truly unique gameplay experience that will keep you engaged, but unfortunately, it’s not for everyone (especially if you’re a complete newcomer to the Souls series). For me, as a newcomer, it felt quite confusing, disorienting, and above all, really very difficult. In my humble opinion, the developers should fine-tune the mechanics a bit more for new players and add a slightly more polished soundtrack. As an indie game, however, it has already shown great potential and a significant challenge in early access. I’m looking forward to seeing how it develops in the future.

What else can I say to wrap things up? Peppa Pig: World Adventures is designed for the youngest kids. There are plenty of fun things for them to do and see. Everything in the game is simple, yet features a varied design, so it will undoubtedly keep kids entertained for hours on end. I highly recommend it to parents with children, because playing together is much more fun. So don’t forget to put on your rubber boots and head out into the muddy puddles with Peppa Pig.

9 / 10.0 - Burnhouse Lane
Apr 1, 2023

This captivating story, Burnhouse Lane, explores death, friendship, and unwavering hope. The game will shock you, terrify you, and make you think. Even if things don’t turn out the way you hoped, you’ll want to play it again and again. So don’t hesitate to dive into this wonderfully unsettling supernatural adventure full of cats. Plus, you get to listen to Davey Cadaver for hours on end, and that alone makes it worth it.

Nightmare of Decay is a tribute to classic survival games from the 90s. If, like me, you grew up playing games like Resident Evil, you’re sure to enjoy this title. It offers a nostalgic experience for older players, while younger players might find it a fresh challenge. Grab your shotgun and go take on the zombies.
