Closer The Distance surely is made with much care, with excellent acting and writing, and offers a heartfelt and open-ended premise. You might end up connecting yourself with the game while you heal broken connections, get insight into their history, and give them the strength to persevere through difficult times. If you like emotionally charged, story-driven experiences, you will surely love Closer The Distance.
Nobody Wants to Die is an excellent walking simulator that, all things considered, is checking out. After the release of Still Wakes The Deep, this is yet another narrative-heavy game that you should check out if you're a fan of detective stories, dystopian futures, or simply appreciate well-crafted storytelling.
Minds Beneath Us offers decent value for the money as you may return to explore all the paths and options you have not explored before. In around twelve hours, you may complete the game—or longer if you are as picky as I am and prefer to explore every inch. I am definitely putting this as one of my favorite indie games of all time, and I will keep an open mind for other projects that are of genres I usually do not invest in.
The Create A Team mode was the only feature that made me like F1 Manager 2024 since there weren't many changes from the previous version. The experience is improved overall by the additional features, which provide a new level of planning and personalization. There is room for development in the series, including the addition of replay features for previous races and the correction of a few small bugs in this year's installment. Those who like management simulation games or are fans of the series will surely love it.
MARS 2120 is one of the odd titles that contradict itself with good promises but ultimately fails when it comes to execution, which happens to be controls and a sense of direction when it comes to later levels. However, it is still an enjoyable title, and as I mentioned, the developers are keen on listening to feedback. If you are interested in 2D metroidvanias with shoot ‘em up elements, MARS 2120 might be a title you should look up to get.
Dungeons of Hinterberg still let me decide which sub-narratives to pursue, and in what sequence to solve the challenges Luisa faces. Simply put, you will have the absolute freedom to indulge in moments of tranquility unless you are opting for a more violent path. The choice is yours.
Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus is a beautifully crafted Metroidvania with hand-drawn animation that pops with its vibrant colors, based heavily on Japanese folklore and culture. The game has a distinct focus on platforming which sets it apart from other games in the genre, and it brings good vibes with the carefree NPCs and sidequests.
Across 10 chapters, Dei explores his innermost thoughts while making sense of his mother’s letters, finding himself in the process. A brief narrative most will be able to finish in one sitting, The Star Named EOS is one of those heartwarming stories that when the realities of the world wear you down, it will be there to tuck you in and make you feel safe, as you drift off into a deep slumber.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess has so much to explore and delve into, and there is never a dull moment between the chaos of pushing back the hordes of Seethe and the peaceful moments of rebuilding the villages. Between the inspired world and character designs and the enamoring ambiance, that’s already more than enough to keep anybody going, but the best aspect of this release is how well it blends tower defense with action adventure. This is without a doubt another gem from the infamous Capcom that you’ll want to experience for its story and beauty.
There are some great moments in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, but overall, it's just an average ARPG game. It crawls to a halt at the beginning, while the plot and character development fall well short of expectations. I wouldn't call it an exceptional game or anything that really leaps out. It took me just over twenty hours to finish the game on normal while grinding a bit for reputation and resources to upgrade.
Despite its flaws, like performance issues, problematic AI, and a clunky tutorial system, the game shows promise. The developers are clearly passionate about motorsports, and with some updates and fine-tuning, Hot Lap Racing could become a top-tier racing title on the Switch and it is a respectable title created by an indie game studio. For dedicated racing fans, it's worth checking out, but be ready for some bumps along the way.
Hannah’s Day is created with love and enthusiasm for art in mind and plays very well on the surface too, but the idea of art being able to keep people economically secure is wrong. A similar title by the name of Cook Serve Forever also had the roots of a rookie becoming a nation-wide popular chef by just working at a street restaurant, but the idea is at least reasonable as food is a source that people would be willing to spend their money, hence it is important to become an important chef.
Bloodborne is a masterpiece even in 2024. The fast-paced, deep combat mechanics, varied weapons, brutal lore, and grandiose orchestral music make it such a fine package. Bloodborne should not be overlooked because of its age. As far as FromSoftware’s titles go, I think this is their finest work, and it goes hand in hand with Elden Ring as one of the best introductions to the Souls genre.
Magical Delicacy stands out as a unique gem. Its gorgeous visuals and Ghibli-esque characters make you want to take each new acquaintance out for a special dinner that they have been longing for. There are a few little things like the movement and platforming seem a bit sluggish which can be fixed in an update.
Anger Foot is a crazy, high-adrenaline First-Person Shooter that will suck you in for hours until you have finished the game. While it does not do anything revolutionary for the genre, it does what it does very well. I’m totally here for the addictive gameplay loop, the world that doesn’t take itself seriously, and that soundtrack that I can’t seem to get enough of. I highly recommend this game to anyone who appreciates high octane, toe-curling action, and satirical humor in their video games.
The First Descendant was shaping up to be great during its beta stages, and it’s just getting better now with its full release. There have been some major improvements and one or two horrible additions to the mix, like the dreaded microtransactions and pay-to-win aspects, but there is still hope for this release. There’s a whole world to explore and a story to discover, and all it takes is a little willingness and some creativity, and it’ll be worth every second in the end.
DROS is a game that beautifully combines hard puzzles and platforming components with an enthralling tale and an endearing cast. If you like games like this, where exploration takes center stage and combat takes a back seat, you should give DROS a go - you will not be let down. Oh, and do tell the Captain he has a beautiful face. He would like that, I think.
SPYxANYA: Operation Memories's simple yet fun mechanics, such as capturing perfect moments for Anya's diary and participating in charming mini-games, offer a relaxing and enjoyable gameplay loop. With its emphasis on family, love, and the everyday adventures of the Forger family, this game is a heartfelt recommendation for anyone looking for a cozy little game that is simple, good, and fun.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a masterful and engaging addition to the Dragon Ball franchise. There is nothing quite like Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, and it surpasses expectations for any fan of Dragon Ball. Creating and training your own character, reliving iconic moments with a twist in the same vein as Marvel’s “What if…?”, and exploring the ever-expanding content keeps the game fresh and exciting while capturing the true essence of the Dragon Ball universe.
Until Then was missold as a mystery, instead, it tells an intense and beautiful story of coming of age, dealing with loss, and making hard decisions in friendships and relationships. It is an experience that is begging to be replayed, not just because it is a great story, but because each subsequent playthrough comes with its own ending.
