All in all, Cloverpit is a staple in any roguelike, gambling or even horror player's library. The game sells itself when you see someone play it, and it holds the “Just one more run” feeling harder than I’ve seen in most games. If you get it, though, remember to bet on the sevens. They are lucky! Happy spinning!
Quietly grab your baseball bat and supplies and sneak your way into this gem of a game; even if, like me, you aren’t much into stealth, you will find yourself relishing those moments of tension where you have to sneak past a man-made cosmic horror in order to cut off someone’s arm to progress
Samurai Academy: Paws of Fury was fun and somewhat interesting, but the content present wasn’t as enjoyable as I’d hoped it would be.
Despelote is a unique documentary around Ecuador and the country’s newfound obsession with soccer in the early 2000s, but it sometimes misses the goal of being an entertaining game. Definitely worth playing, but more so as education than entertainment.
Baseless hooked me with its fast combat, varied weapons and satisfying upgrades. Each zone ends with a great-looking boss fight, and the hub adds some fun side activities even if a few mini games and objectives can be a bit uneven.
This game is a tough sell. On one hand, I like it with all its flaws, but it feels more like a missed opportunity. It’s not a cheap game; you need to pay for extra liveries; the tracks and cars are limited. It’s not racing out of the box. You will need a steering wheel to play this game. You can’t just sit down with a controller and have fun.
Demonschool earns its diploma by blending Persona-style high-school drama with clever, tile-based battles that play more like brainteasing puzzles than traditional RPG grinds, making every fight feel like a chess match against hell itself
Pokémon Legends: Z-A surprised me with its more active battle system and a story that actually had me interested for once. But most of all, it really nailed the moment-to-moment progress and made the flow of the game as addictive as it is. For a few months, this has been my video game comfort food: a game to relax with and easy to pick up and play if I had a few spare minutes to kill.
A Game About Digging a Hole ended up being a cosy little surprise. The loop is simple but weirdly satisfying, the upgrades keep things moving, and the whole experience has a calm, almost meditative feel to it. It is a short game, but the budget price makes that completely fair. If you enjoy small, focused games you can relax with for an evening, this one is easy to enjoy.
A hypnotic descent where sound, visuals, and story fuse into one unforgettable nightmare. Sleep Awake delivers a vivid, unsettling ride with striking visuals, oppressive sound, and a fragile narrative
Once Upon a Katamari is a beautifully crafted game with no flaws that I can think of. The King of Cosmos has once again exceeded my expectations with another very fun entry to the series, with a lot of content, challenges, customisation options, great presentation, and many katamaris. Colombo
Trails in the Sky First Chapter really surprised me. It feels true to the source material, cringeworthy moments included, while still offering an excellent introduction to the world of Liberl for both new and returning fans. If you enjoy JRPGs, RPGs, or tactical games, this could easily be an instant buy.
In short, The Last Case of John Morley is a short narrative-driven adventure game with a gripping story. It only took me 3 hours to finish it, but it was captivating, and I believe these developers can do a lot better in the future
It’s time to be a hero and quest your way through the dark dungeons of Dark Quest 4, a tabletop RPG with a lot of meat on its bones which should satisfy those evenings where you can’t gather around the table with your friends to play
Moonlighter 2 proves that running a shop can be just as thrilling as raiding a dungeon.
Accessible, chaotic, and endlessly fun, Kirby Air Riders is racing for everyone.
A demanding but rewarding empire builder that makes Rome worth rebuilding again and again.
Will you purge the scourge of the xenos, or are you going to let humanity become tomorrow’s leftover turkey dinner? Xenopurge is a lot of fun to play and a game that, in all honesty, I probably would have skipped over had it not been given to me to review, and I am seriously glad it was.
A tactical remake that drops in a year full of excellent remakes and can count itself among the top efforts. It’s well worth a playthrough, and by far the best version of the game for both newcomers and returning fans, but you’ll get a lot of action out of that RB Fast-Forward feature while you grind jobs & levels.
Anima: Gate of Memories I&II is an attempt to revive a franchise that wasn’t well received at the time, but became some sort of cult classic, likely thanks to its fanbase. I have to say that I understand why both of these outcomes occurred, as it is a game with a very interesting world and story, charismatic characters and strong art direction and soundtrack. However, it still suffers from clunky controls, overwhelming bosses and unbalanced gameplay at times, despite this being a re-release.
