GameGrin's Reviews
There's nothing massively wrong with Liberté, but everything it does has been done better somewhere else.
Goodboy Galaxy is a wholesome platformer game that rewards friendship and has a lot of backtracking and a unique gameplay style that is challenging at times.
Critter Café is very cute and cosy, perfect for a younger demographic, but there isn't that much substance to it that made its 12+ playtime all that engaging.
Vampire Survivors's Ode to Castlevania DLC is an incredible labour of love for the very games that inspired it. It includes heaps of content, fan service, and just pure effort into such an amazing piece of extra content.
There's so much potential here, but Sky Oceans: Wings for Hire just feels rushed and unpolished. I had high hopes, but they just didn't fly.
The Iron Rig adds an intriguing side story to experience while you revisit old locations hunting new prizes. While a bit repetitious for seasoned sailors, the DLC does add some fun upgrades to aim for and characters to meet.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard isn't BioWare's best work, but it's good. Offering a beautiful world and a ton to do, heading back into Thedas is an easy choice for some. For others, the downgrade in writing and limited combat might be a dealbreaker.
Sofie: The Echoes looks like a compelling story-driven shooter at first glance, but it's rife with awful enemy AI, optimisation issues, poor design choices, and game-breaking bugs. Steer clear of this one.
Dead Season is functional and fun at times but is let down by strange design choices and a repetitive campaign.
A perfect, charming platformer that will delight players throughout the entire journey. This is an easy recommendation and a must-play!
it's a great time with solid writing and gameplay, but there's no reason to replay to explore the world
Mexico, 1921. A Deep Slumber. is an interesting look into the history of Mexico from the eyes of a normal citizen. The camera mechanics are great and the plot seems interesting, but it is let down by some major bugs.
Toads on the Bayou is a challenging game with a fun voodoo-inspired story, great look, and fun characters. I was only able to play a small part on PC, so I hope it gets fixed!
Talisman: Digital 5th Edition breathes new life into this classic board game. The new art and animations are fantastic, without losing the signature style. With the less harsh events and streamlined rules, you may even finish a game in a session!
A fairly standard roguelike, [REDACTED] is nevertheless a fun, if brief, return to Black Iron Prison. Just with a much more colourful, flashy aesthetic!
GSC Game World nails a unique mixture of genres between survival horror and open world with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. The atmospheric environments, engaging gunplay, and the constant feeling of threat culminate in a heavy recommendation from me for fans of the genre.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a fun addition to the series and for the Switch. It has fun gameplay and great humour, but feels repetitive at times and quite long.
Although it has some interesting aspects, Together in Between is largely unenjoyable due to the gameplay being repetitive button presses with little thinking required.
Soul Stalker is a cute, cosy bullet-hell game which is a unique combo to find, but its small stages and soundtrack don't make this title super exciting to play.
Kill Knight manages to mix hectic and ultra-responsive arcade gameplay with a fun layer of resource management and strategy to create a great challenge to bite into. The visuals are splendid, the enemies never stop coming, and the battle is glorious!
