7 / 10.0 - Dead Take
Jul 31, 2025

Dead Take stands out in the genre of horror walking sims with its intriguing story, talented cast and FMV elements. Unfortunately its horror aspects are where it falls flat, as it tries to cram itself into the genre with the use of cheap jump scares and horror clichés.

A chimera of Nintendo's best franchises infused with new ideas and a real narrative heart in Pauline, Donkey Kong Bananza is a must-play on Switch 2 and kickstarts the next generation of Nintendo with an all-time great.

There's a strange feeling of, "wait, was it like that before?" with Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition. Accept that this is an earlier game and take it on its own terms, and you'll at least come away with a better understanding of how the genre evolved.

7 / 10.0 - Primal Planet
Jul 25, 2025

Going against the grain in many aspects, Primal Planet is a self-described "dinovania" that feels more like a classic 2D platformer with RPG elements. Charming, beautiful, and at times intense.

7 / 10.0 - Luto
Jul 25, 2025

While Luto is a beautiful game with experimental visuals and storytelling, holding an impactful message on the emptiness of grief, its pacing issues, inconsistent tone and lack of actual horror kill off the momentum set at the beginning of the game.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers feels like a labor of love from start to finish. It does justice to the Soulslike formula, amplifies it, mixes it with another culture, and delivers something that has a lot more depth behind it.

7 / 10.0 - Wheel World
Jul 23, 2025

Though it struggles to nail down its atmosphere and can fall apart towards the endgame, Wheel World's bicycle-driving core elevates it into one of the year's premier racing titles.

3 / 10.0 - Len's Island
Jul 19, 2025

It's hard to see Len's Island as anything but a low quality effort to get a toehold in the survival-crafter genre. Non-existent narrative, actively hostile character progression, and a likely unoptimized graphics engine destroy any ease of use or enjoyment one might accidentally find.

No Sleep For Kaname Date is an excellent addition to the AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES series. Kaname Date takes on another adventure with brand-new Escape segments that include some devilishly difficult puzzles that escape room enthusiasts will love.

8 / 10.0 - The Drifter
Jul 17, 2025

The Drifter's storyline gets a little predictable and corny in its third act, but otherwise this is a fantastic game for point-and-click puzzle fans. It has pretty faultless point-and-click gameplay, an excellent voice cast, and the perfect narration to set the tone in this pulp thriller story.

A 3D platformer collectathon which makes up for some dull stretches during its expansive levels with plenty of heart and the undeniable charisma of its tiny bots.

7 / 10.0 - Everdeep Aurora
Jul 9, 2025

While Everdeep Aurora doesn't break new ground (ha), it does offer a very polished take on the genre, emphasizing clever platforming and an initially simple narrative that unveils rich deep lore for those willing to seek it.

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster brings the classic title forward for contemporary systems, and does so flawlessly. The artistic and gameplay elements are all restored to their original glory. If you've never played before, or it's been far too long since you last played, don't sleep on this one. You won't regret it.

7 / 10.0 - Stasis
Jul 7, 2025

While The Brotherhood perfected its technique with Stasis: Bone Totem, Stasis is well worth a visit for point-and-click horror game fans. Its port to console is a little clunky, but the writing and atmosphere make Stasis well worth the time.

8 / 10.0 - Crown Gambit
Jul 4, 2025

Crown Gambit has a great political story and tactical gameplay, but it can be dry and has a few bugs that disrupt the experience.

For those hoping that this DLC will provide answers to what the Beira D drilled into in 1975, or even just an experience of exploring more of the crew's stories, you will be disappointed in Still Wakes the Deep: Siren's Rest. But if it's simply more Still Wakes the Deep content that you're looking for, no matter the direction, then this DLC provides.

9 / 10.0 - The Alters
Jun 12, 2025

The Alters is a unique survival base-building game with addictive gameplay and a memorable, engaging and deep storyline. What's more, it's easily replayable for those reaching for completion.

It may be missing some build depth or profoundness, but to have a bite-sized piece of Elden Ring that I can jump into whenever I want is a treasure worth the price.

SEDAP! A Culinary Adventure displays Southeast Asian cuisine like never before, but it must be played with a friend and is best played with an interest in the culture.

More than a "yoyovania," Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo is a great tribute to all great Game Boy Advance games, understanding the appeal of both their minimalism and their maximalism.
