Indiana Jones and the Great Circle captures the iconic atmosphere of the franchise and feels like a classic Indiana Jones film. Locations like Vatican City and the pyramids of Egypt are full of hidden treasure and reward thorough exploration. The gameplay captures Indy’s essence with clever puzzles, stealth, and improvisation. Combat feels clunky, but suits his character as a smart survivor rather than a brawler. Visually, the game is stunning, with beautiful detail and cinematics that fully draw you into the adventure.

Unknown 9: Awakening combines a fascinating steampunk world, deep lore and unique mind-control controls. Yet the story lingers in predictability, while repetitive gameplay and technical problems disrupt experience. Despite a few strong moments, the game feels unbalanced and the potential is not fully realized.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for Switch is an epic adventure in which you collect the Crystal Stars to stop an ancient threat. The game combines classic Mario elements with deep RPG mechanics and a compelling story full of humor. The turn-based battle system set on a theater stage is simple to understand but offers a lot of depth. The refreshed visual style and improved graphics bring the papery world to life beautifully. Despite some pacing issues and backtracking, the game remains a masterpiece of the RPG genre.

Deceit 2 was poorly received at the end of 2023. There were a number of critical points such as the graphics, visuals and the win balance between the Innocent and the Infected. The big update has really improved the game experience. Unfortunately, the update seems to have arrived too late and many players have already given up. Fortunately there is a kind of Friends Pass available where you can play the game with someone who has bought deceit 2. In addition, Deceit 2 is at its best if you play it with friends.

The game Scarf consists of a colorful, soft world held together by the adventurous story and the relationship between two different creatures. The blue creature and other creatures occasionally seem to float above the ground instead of walking. In addition, the puzzles become too repetitive at some point. However, if you are looking for a light and colorful game where you are sucked into the story, then Scarf is the game you want to play.

For one a challenge, but for the other a real case - my controller ends up in the wall - frustration game. The story of Shame Legacy takes time to unfold. However, that is not the only thing you have to be patient with. You will have to hide or crawl regularly. This quickly becomes repetitive. In addition, it is easily detected and then killed. So you will have to play some parts repeatedly. The puzzles provide a welcome change from sneaking.

Scars Above is not your average shooter, but it will pleasantly surprise you. This is because you don't play a soldier, but a scientist. Because of this you will have to rely more on science instead of combat training. Despite the repetitive elements, due to the Souls-like touch, you will be faced with enough challenge. Scars Above has many layers, which makes for a unique experience.

In a vibrant and colorful world, as a player you will grow your crops, befriend the townspeople, overcome threats, discover the origins of the world and the truth behind the Quietus disaster. This is a period of death that comes at the beginning of a new season. At first, Harvestella feels like all the other farm sims, but Haverstella has found a way to make the most simplicity work. The simple combat mechanics are nothing to rave about. Everything else, like agriculture, is excellent. As a player you can explore different cities and dungeons of the world. The length of the days feel perfect. You can do whatever you want and still have some wiggle room to run around and talk to townspeople, fish, explore, or even look for NPCs.

For the most of us, the Klonoa franchise is unknown. Can you feel nostalgic for a game you've never played before? Before you played Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series, you probably didn't agree, but after a few levels of this charming remaster, which packs Klonoa: Door to Phantomile and Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil into one game, you'll be entranced by this one. cute and endearing game. The many side paths, hidden secrets and collectibles make the games challenging, but also confusing.
