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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Trash Goblin is a fun and simple cozy game with satisfying gameplay loop, memorable characters and stories, and a beautiful art style. There are some aspects of the story and gameplay that lack in variety, but the overall quality makes it a short but enjoyable experience.
Cattle Country combines the Wild West into a cozy farming game. It's an ambitious entry that contributes a lot to its genre, while also taking inspiration from some of the best gameplay mechanics from its peers. Despite its minor flaws, its strong points captured my attention, easily paving its way to one of my favorites.
Survive the Fall has a good survival foundation but the average narrative and gameplay bugs hold the game back more than it would like.
Blades of Fire could have been another Soulslike with a gimmick. Instead, MercurySteam has delivered a well crafted world with an intriguing adventure and the means to let players really find out what works best for them when they need to take hold of some cold steel.
Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping is a triumph of a game, with humorous writing paired with a genuinely tricky mystery and intuitive de-duck-tion-based gameplay.
Empyreal offers a fun combat if you can understand and manage the progression and gear systems, but other than that, the story, world and character design, and atmosphere feels empty and disconnected from the player and their avatar's perspective and experience.
Void Sails tries to take a slightly lighter approach to the often grim and disturbing Cthulhu Mythos, and ends up becoming a sub-par adventure with lovely art, inconsistent writing, and punitive gameplay mechanics.
Yes, Your Grace 2: Snowfall offers everything the first game did, but worse. While being a struggle to get through due to its launch bugs, flaws exists within its storyline and gameplay which are much harder to fix.
