Dystopicon feels somewhat disjointed. I like the game’s message, and I wondered why I kept playing after understanding how its chosen mechanics underline the ease with which routine and oppression can force people to go against their instincts and convictions.
Midnight Moments delivers on almost all its promises. The mechanics are very easy to understand, players can create a wide variety of cyberpunk-themed dioramas, and there are no time or resource pressure to create frustration. Anyone who wants to relax while creating small scenes will have fun with the title.
Advent: Dawn tells an interesting story that combines science fiction with character-driven moments well. The protagonist isn’t very interesting, but I like all the other characters and what they reveal about themselves. The game looks good, and the voice acting enhances immersion, even if it only kicks in during the biggest story moment.
Bus Simulator 27 is the best bus simulation experience that we have right now, and it does a lot of things right.
John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando was an amazing time for me, especially since I enjoy coop and zombie/horror games. There aren’t a lot of maps in the game, unfortunately, but the content that’s there is very well made, and the open world feel adds to the immersion.
Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia is one of those games that you will have a lot of fun with, if you’re into platformers.
There are many things that Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault does right, like the exploration part, along with the roguelike integration and the different paths you can take to explore every biome.
Resonance: A Plague Tale is a worthy conclusion of the saga. Even if de Rune brothers are sitting this one out, Sophia is a powerful character, but so is Leni, her sidekick. Every mechanic that made the first two A Plague Tale games likeable has been improved and refined, and that includes the general formula.
But as a whole, it felt like a great beat’em’up that doesn’t overstay its welcome. It’s intense, you can repeat the experience and make it slightly different, and the combat always feels very good.
Feed the Scorchpot is an intricate experience that delivers an engaging and addictive core loop. The sequence of dice rolling, harvest gathering, adding as much flavor as possible, and then spending resources to deliver an even better result is more complex than it first appears.

Case Closed: The London Files is a cute detective game with a wonderful noir theme and the cases are interesting to play through.
Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is a step up from the previous title, at least when it comes to the gameplay, map design and interesting role system. However, it does have optimization problems and bugs, which make it less of an appealing option for those that are accustomed to the polished, original Hell Let Loose.
But it’s packed with good ideas and wholesome interactions. Play Tukoni: Forest Keepers in short sessions, savor the exploration, and maybe get into making tea in the real world.
Mortal Shell 2 has a lot of great things going for it. The aesthetic is amazing, the combat is exceptional, and the various shells offer a lot of variety, without being overwhelming. You also have tons of room to experiment with weapons, so it’s very satisfying to finally create your own build.
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North - Legacy Edition is exactly what I expected, a slight improvement for the original game, while retaining its soul and character.
HellSlave II: Judgment of the Archon is a great take on role-playing mechanics for longtime fans of the genre who are looking for a hardcore experience.
The Sinking City 2 takes around 15 hours to complete, and it’s a wonderful return to clever, immersive and intense horror.
Talespinner delivers three heroes that embody very different combat styles, a unique way to choose encounters, as well as a solid set of combat mechanics.
