On Your Tail brings you a charming Italian vacation experience you won't forget. The ambience is perfect, the townspeople charming, and the mysteries are fun to solve. Unfortunately this game does have some rough edges which are too hard to ignore, along with potential gamebreaking bugs. Don't let the flaws turn you away, this is still fun to play. Give Borgo Marina a chance and you will see that everything comes together to form a cozy game masterpiece.
Everholm succeeds at delivering a cozy farming sim that involves solving a mystery. You have fun configuring your farm while building relationships with the town's residents and exploring dungeons, but you will spend more time farming and exploring than solving the mystery since it has a slow pace. There aren't many differences from other popular games in the genre as well. But if you know what you are getting into, Everholm delivers a solid experience.
Sorry We're Closed promises a decent survival horror experience, but nothing more than that. It could use more polishing but won't rise to greatness.
Codex Lost brings the magic side of Souls-like games to the forefront. The ability to choose your spells and add variety early on leads to creative combat. However, you get even less guidance than other Souls-like games and it’s not always clear what you must do. That makes this a tough game to get into and a tough game to play.
Mindcop challenges you more than other point-and-click games. It's certainly not easy, but the mystery immersion is well worth the difficulty.
Farming Simulator 25 is a tough experience if you haven't done farming before. The tutorial is short and only introduces you to the basics of agriculture, so you'll spend most of your time making mistakes and fumbling around. But if you stay and learn, you get a comprehensive farming experience. It comes at the cost of everything being related to farming, but you'll gain a better appreciation for the work that farmers do.
Last Time I Saw You has a great dramatic narrative that is bogged down by trying to do too much at once.
The Until Dawn remake is a fantastic horror game for anyone who missed it the first time. Influencing the story through butterfly effects and seeing the consequences is horrific. The game's improved graphics really drive home the horror even if you know what is coming. But for veterans, some aspects of the game became worse with time. There's not enough to bring you back if you already played the original, but it's a good choice to recommend to newcomers.
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven shines when it comes to its story and unique take on character development. Passing down the skills you learned to future generations immerses you in the long battle against evil. This also happens to be one of the harder SaGa entries and you may feel like the game is stacked against you. Persevering is part of the fun but it could get too frustrating.
Drova – Forsaken Kin is an action CPRG that keeps you on your toes. The action is exhilarating, your decisions have no judgment, and your playstyle is your own. But this is tempered by a difficult beginning, a lack of decent maps, and combat that's not in your favour. While the game still promises a good time for CRPG fans, it may not be the easiest entry for others. Stay the course and fight through the difficulties to find a game that delivers on its premise.
Necro Story delivers an entertaining and funny necromancer story, but it has some flaws holding it back from greatness.
Ultimate Zombie Defense 2 puts you in a survival situation where you must hold out against waves of undead. It’s nice to build structures to help you defend against zombies. Unfortunately, there’s nothing unique about the game and it suffers from some bugs. The result is a largely forgettable survival experience easily passed by other games.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero captures the fighting experience of the franchise better than the previous fighting games. The graphics are amazing and hold up to the intense movements. Several opportunities to play online and offline mean there's always something to do and an opponent to test your mettle against. There are some combat kinks to work out and some features only appeal to the hardcore fanbase. But for anyone who has an interest in Dragon Ball, this is a game you must have.
Squirrel With a Gun delivers some funny combat and has some interesting puzzle solutions. Offering multiple solutions to a puzzle lets your creativity come to life. However, the game doesn’t do much to stand out from the other platformer games in the market. Unless you are interested in playing as a squirrel, there’s not much keeping you playing.
Funko Fusion does a good job of recreating worlds with a Funko brand twist. You actually feel like a character from a series participating in significant events. However, take away the Funko Pop! vinyl brand and you're left with a platformer that doesn't stand out from other games on the market. It's also difficult for non-fans to start on new worlds they are unfamiliar with without feeling like a slog. Funko Fusion does some things well but otherwise relies entirely on its brand name for differentiation.
DATE A LIVE: Ren Dystopia presents several intriguing tales about what someone would do with three wishes. Multiple routes and endings provide different perspectives and lots of replay value. Unfortunately, this series assumes you have existing knowledge of the franchise, and ending routes can be unclear. Otherwise, it’s a great visual novel that provides hours of enjoyment.
Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open delivers a fantastic tale but has some flaws with navigation and instructions that do stand out.
Age of Mythology: Retold has made significant upgrades to its RTS formula. Expanding on pantheons by using the power of the gods more often lets you experience the true force. Improvements to accessibility means learning the basics is easier for newcomers to the series. While the experience stumbles with more advanced concepts and is perhaps too reliant on faith for victory, you can still learn as you go. Age of Mythology: Retold has never looked better for fans new and old.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 doesn't hold back in showing you what it's like to be a Space Marine. Combat is gruelling, intense, and punishing even in the best of times. It's also not easy to understand the importance of the Space Marines if you aren't familiar with the lore. But if you are willing to give the game a chance, it provides some of the best hack-and-slash shooter experiences and immersive settings. It's never been more enjoyable to be a Space Marine and understand the horrors of fighting in never-ending conflicts.
Sword of Convallaria has a strong strategy RPG foundation and is a great mobile game. But for PC, there are other games that are better value. The game doesn’t bring anything new to the table with its gameplay. Fortunately, the experience is free and if you are patient, you can unlock several benefits and have fun. However, this is a mobile gacha game at its core and spending money is the only method for quick enhancement. You might aswell save money just buying another strategy RPG outright.
