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.
There is nothing angelic, fallen or otherwise about Sacred 2 Remaster; the game is a mess of bugs, bad design choices and even more bugs. I couldn’t get a good enough run at the game without it crashing to even attempt to push my way further into it, and to be honest, by the time I reloaded it for the (no exaggeration) 56th time to try and progress, I just wanted it out of my system. If the developers and THQ Nordic don’t fix this game soon, then it is going to be a huge loss for them.
Like an arcade cabinet on fire, thrilling, messy, and you’ll probably lose a few credits along the way. Neon Inferno blazes with style and arcade nostalgia, its layered shooting and wild spectacle impossible to ignore. Yet restrictive movement, punishing checkpoints, and uneven co‑op keep the chaos from always feeling fair. It’s a fiery ride that dazzles as often as it frustrates.
The perfect karaoke solution for home entertainment. Doesn’t cost a fortune and will guarantee many hours of fun, especially if you’re one to invite friends over for party games. The formula kind of expects you to buy into the VIP pass or buy extra content though, so keep that in mind.
Will you be kind and rewind to play the series again after you finish, or will you eject and reject it from your mind? I personally love the Amanda the Adventurer series, but if this truly is the final part, then I will be disappointed because there just seems to be a lot left unsaid.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a fun, engaging, addictive, cinematic, and gorgeous game in the Hyrule Warriors series. It offers a brand-new canon story that fans will love watching play out during the game’s progression
A chaotic, claw-swinging riot that thrives on style, speed, and feline fury, CLAWPUNK delivers pixel grit, punchy combat, and synth-soaked swagger in every run.
Disco Samurai swings to the beat in more ways than one! It’s a great rhythm game for fans of the genre.
Tales of Xillia Remastered doesn’t just revisit a fan-favourite, it refines it. With expressive writing, fluid combat, and thoughtful upgrades, it’s a heartfelt JRPG that still holds its own.
I’m beyond happy I got to experience Labyrinthine. For the most part, Labyrinthine is a brilliant co-op horror experience that had me in a fearful but entertained state throughout
A short but fun and nostalgic game that captures the true spirit of the NES era, even if it occasionally makes you want to throw your controller.
Tormented Souls 2 does a great job at setting itself apart from the first entry in the series by refining much of what made the first game difficult and frustrating. Tormented Souls 2 improves on the combat in almost every single way by offering a wider variety of weapons, much larger environments to explore, great animations, and an increased fear factor.
