ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist is a worthy sequel and, at the same time, a standalone game that doesn’t simply try to copy its successful predecessor. With more robust combat options, greater freedom in exploration, and an even more beautiful world, it’s a title that will appeal to both veterans and newcomers alike. The game feels more mature, more thoughtful, and more sensitive—as if it had grown up alongside its fans. In every moment, it reminds us that beauty can certainly exist even amid decay and quiet despair.

DOOM: The Dark Ages isn’t a step backward. It’s a stomp with an iron-shod boot right on the neck, and even though it slips up a bit now and then, it remains the brutal, blood-soaked slaughter that fans crave. The Slayer may have slowed his pace, but he’s put on some weight. The new approach to the combat system offers a refreshing change of pace, while the visuals and level design show that id Software still knows how to create a hellish playground where players can let loose until the very last bullet.

8.5 / 10.0 - Lies of P
May 12, 2025

Lies of P is a fairy tale that will make you love suffering… if you’ve voluntarily launched the game, you’re probably already familiar with this painful love. The game isn’t brimming with originality, but with the precision of a master watchmaker, it assembles familiar components into a functional and stylish whole. The atmosphere of decadent Krat, the dark take on a classic fairy tale, and the emphasis on challenging combat combine to create a powerful experience that, while sometimes frustrating, is also deeply rewarding.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 2 sets the stage for a much more chilling and fateful story than the first installment. All that remains of a once-idyllic summer full of dreams and friendship are fragments that are now turning into sharp shards of truth capable of inflicting deep wounds. A heavy haze of mystery hangs over the entire story, thickening as time goes on until it closes in suffocatingly around both the player and the heroines. The conclusion doesn’t ask if you’re ready. It simply strikes, reveals its dark face, and leaves you with a quiet whisper of doubt. The answers won’t come easily. And when they do, you might wish you’d never heard them.

7.5 / 10.0 - AI Limit
Mar 26, 2025

AI Limit is a well-crafted new soulslike title that, while it suffers from a lack of variety in certain areas and occasional technical glitches, makes up for it with a unique synchronization system and the powerful atmosphere of its post-apocalyptic world. The game forces players to think tactically and adapt to constantly changing combat conditions, making it a challenge for those seeking a bit of adrenaline. If the developers iron out a few minor kinks, it will be a solid choice for fans of this unforgiving genre.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is poised to deliver an intriguing story full of nostalgia and suspense, but so far it only gets halfway there. It offers a powerful atmosphere, well-written characters, and a mystery that begs to be unraveled, but we still don’t know exactly where it’s all headed. Still, there’s something about it that makes you reflect on the past, on the decisions you’ve made, and on those that lie ahead. Perhaps the second part will show that those choices really do matter. Perhaps we’ll discover that some things are better left buried in time. And perhaps… there will be no turning back.

5.5 / 10.0 - InnerSpace
Feb 23, 2025

InnerSpace is a game that encourages you to pause for a moment, savor the moment, and immerse yourself in the captivating world of an inverted universe. Behind this poetic aesthetic, however, lie a number of shortcomings that unnecessarily detract from the gaming experience. If you’re willing to overlook them, InnerSpace might appeal to you. For others, however, it remains more of a curiosity than a must-play—an untapped opportunity that failed to live up to its promise of a harmonious adventure.

The Last Alchemist is like a promising elixir still in development—it contains the rare ingredients of a picturesque world and the essence of a relaxing experience. However, the recipe was mixed by an unskilled hand, so sediment appears in the flask in the form of clunky controls and unpolished mechanics. Nevertheless, the game holds within it a spark of the true alchemist’s philosophy: trial and error ultimately leads to success. If you’re willing to turn a blind eye to a few drops of bitterness, this alchemical potion might just delight you.

8.5 / 10.0 - MiSide
Jan 6, 2025

MiSide is like a sweet dream that quickly turns into a nightmare, yet compels you to come back for another dose. The game draws you into its world of love, fear, and questions you might not want to know the answers to. It offers you the illusion of safety, only to snatch it away at the most unexpected moment. Despite all that—or perhaps because of it—MiSide is an experience that will haunt your thoughts long after you turn off the screen.

Unknown 9: Awakening feels like a missed opportunity. Although the game features an interesting story world and aims to bridge different media formats, it falls short at the most basic level. Instead of a compelling adventure, it offers a predictable story with flat characters, unattractive graphics, and frustrating gameplay mechanics. On top of that, bugs and technical issues make it hard to immerse yourself in a world that’s already somewhat hollow—one that tries to build an expansive mythology but throws too much at you all at once. This one didn’t turn out very well.

Sonic X Shadow Generations is a labor of love that combines nostalgia with fresh gameplay elements. The remaster brings back beloved adventures with improved graphics, while Shadow’s story shines thanks to new abilities and excellent level design. With this game, Sega proves that the franchise still has plenty to offer even after all these years, and if it continues in this vein, we can look forward to high-quality gaming experiences in the future.

SOUTH PARK: SNOW DAY! attempted to branch out by bringing a new experience to the South Park gaming universe, but unfortunately failed in many respects. Repetitive gameplay, technical issues, and—above all—the absence of the signature humor and satire that are the backbone of this franchise leave fans feeling rather disappointed. There may be some who appreciate the cooperative gameplay, but even that won’t be enough to keep players coming back to the game.
