Belmont's Curse is a good game worth playing, with a strong visual identity, powerful atmosphere and notable ideas, but it is let down by inconsistencies in its controls, level design and rewards. It is neither a failed Castlevania comeback nor a game that sets a new benchmark for modern Metroidvanias. It deserves respect for its strengths, but its limitations keep it from fully shining.

Endless Rails is a fast, fun action game built on an appealing idea. But with severely limited content, unbalanced systems and a small skill tree, it feels more like an alpha than a finished game. It is a cheap two-hour diversion that badly needs updates.

If you’re a die-hard Logan fan who has never missed a single story or interpretation of the character, Wolverine will likely keep you entertained for nearly 20 hours. However, if you came to Wolverine looking for replay value or a modern and varied superhero experience, it will undoubtedly leave you disappointed. It’s an experience that can easily be considered Insomniac Games’ weakest superhero outing across the past two generations.

Sunken Realms is an ambitious action RPG from an indie developer, with a decent combat core and fluid animations. However, numerous physics bugs, repetitive level design, a broken map and uninspiring dialogue make it feel more like an alpha build than a finished product.

Barbarian Saga: The Beastmaster is an extremely weak and forgettable metroidvania. Despite some interesting story ideas, clunky gameplay, a confusing map and game-breaking technical bugs turn the experience into a source of constant irritation. Among the many brilliant titles in this genre, it is easy to skip.

Worming from Home is an absurd and brilliant job simulator that uses ragdoll physics to blend slapstick comedy with a ruthless critique of corporate systems. Guiding a worm to fill in spreadsheets and commit stock-market fraud makes it one of the funniest and most engaging indie experiences you can play this year.

Feed the Scorchpot is a pleasant yet merciless surprise in the roguelike genre. Blending tabletop-style resource management with the thrill of building devastating numerical combos makes it one of the most addictive minimalist strategy experiences of the year. Its heavy reliance on luck and strict difficulty may frustrate some players over time and can feel a little unfair, but the core gameplay is so satisfying and the art so eye-catching that you keep returning to the cooking pot to keep this hungry dragon happy.
