Entertainium's Reviews
Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo rebounds onto the scene with plenty of charm and clever gameplay, much like the games that came before it.
Haneda Girl is an electrifyingly fun action platformer with a fantastic aesthetic and a bashing soundtrack.
Monster Train 2 is a quick to get into roguelike deck builder that plays into the tired genre’s strengths and still manages to provide a worthwhile time for those who buy into it.
This new version of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is well worth jumping in. It’s an excellent example of how well games of its ilk were developed and that it’s imperative to look past outdated character models in order to see that they’re still incredibly playable to this day.
Best Served Cold is an investigative visual novel which merges bartending detective work to create a novel cocktail.
The Rogue Prince of Persia plays brilliantly and as it approaches 1.0, it already plays and feels like one of the best roguelikes around.
All in all, Rift of the Necrodancer is an absolute blast, even if I’m a tone deaf dud at it. It’s colorful, has some creatively funny writing, and the sheer creativity at play when it comes to its challenges is simply insane. It’s no surprise Brace Yourself Games ended up being called by Nintendo to develop a game based on Zelda. They are on another level of creativity that only grows greater with each new release. I at the same time am anxious and dread what they will come up with next. The only assurance is that I’ll probably suck at playing it but am likely to love it.
The hard-boiled hard rock detective is back with one hell of a hangover and an arm’s length of bills to pay in Kathy Rain 2.
Don’t pass up the chance to enjoy the best of one of the most traditional fighting game developer’s catalog with Capcom Fighting Collection 2.
Bethesda’s remaster of its 2006 original Oblivion comes at a time when the actions of its parent company are under significant scrutiny.
Bionic Bay has a unique pixel art aesthetic which coats a need for deep reserves of precision and patience.
Developed by Fallen Tree Games, The Precinct has you playing from the other side of the law in a spin on the classic GTA formula.
While not mind blowingly original, Shotgun Cop Man succeeds in what it aims for, making it for a much more approachable game that a wider array of players might have a better chance at finishing and at the same time proving that Devolver’s curation is still as sharp as ever.
Drop Duchy, with its inspired, refined combination of genres, has the makings of a breakout hit.
Leikir Studio’s new game Synergy is positively brimming with style, but crashes and burns because of it.
Coming back to Days Gone in 2025 for the third time ever: yes, Deacon is still a weirdo.
While Amerzone is perhaps a bit too faithful to the 1999 original, it nonetheless shows considerable care and respect for its creator.
Sandfall Interactive’s Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 borrows from tradition.
Old Skies is finally here and it has been more than worth the wait: It’s one of this year’s best releases.
Blue Prince is as peculiar of a game as its protagonist’s deceased relative. An odd puzzle/adventure game with progression and pacing that often get in the way of your success for the sole benefit of artificially keeping the journey going. If you do happen to resonate with it, you’ll find a good distraction to poke at for hours, one that’s best suited for multiple sittings and plenty of sleuthing both in and outside of it. It’s the type of thing you’ll have to sleep on and maybe might find the next solution, or just want to chuck your chosen gaming system out the closest window.
