Entertainium's Reviews
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.
Amerzone – The Explorer’s Legacy is the kind of game that probably would never have gotten a remake if Microids wasn’t still around and had people on staff who worked with Benoît Sokal, and cared deeply about his legacy and of the imaginative and fantastical worlds he created in his games. While this remake is perhaps a bit too faithful to the 1999 original, it nonetheless shows considerable care and respect for its source material, and wants to create a remake worthy of that legacy. Indeed, the remake is dedicated to Sokal and his memory. On this objective, Amerzone is clearly a success.
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.
The wait is over! Fans of stealth tactics games will get a kick out of Commandos Origins, but their patience might run thin due to the firing squad of problems that trouble its initial release.
Game Arts’ legendary series makes a new return to consoles through Lunar Remastered Collection.
A successful caper is only as good as the numerous ways it can suddenly fall apart.
Atomfall is a fairly bold project for Rebellion, one which exposes their technical weaknesses as well as their inexperience with first-person games. Its stealth and combat may be underwhelming, but the game is saved by its intriguing investigations, unique setting, and absorbing atmosphere. Hopefully in future, the team can weld these admirable elements to more solid fundamentals.
Simply put, I couldn’t be happier with this remake. As someone who at first is hesitant on the idea of seeing rethreads of games instead of having entirely original ones, when there they are to be made, especially based on releases as significant as this, they should be obligatorily a step above your usual product. And in this game’s case, not only is it that, but it’s become the ultimate way to experience Silent Hill 2, much like Motive’s Dead Space.
If you were looking for a solid adventure which nicely expands the singular world of Lamplight City, Rosewater delivers.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is an enjoyable multiplayer roguelike starring one of entertainment’s most long lasting franchises and it’s now getting some DLC, bringing Casey Jones into the game.
Wanderstop’s excellent writing, great music and laid-back atmosphere make it a nice game to unwind with.
As it is, though, this remaster is the most approachable way to replaying both games as they are not available digitally outside of the soon-to-be deactivated PS3 store. With its release on just about every modern platform, this is, obviously, the readiest form to play these games. So if you don’t have a PS3 at the ready with both games in its hard-drive or were lucky enough to hold onto their original PS1 discs from back in the day, there’s only one legal avenue left to go. Even if it’s not the ideal one, at least it exists, right?
If you haven’t picked up an Assassin’s Creed game in a few years, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a welcome return to form.
Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories and the Envisioned Land comfortably serves as an excellent jumping in point to those looking into playing the Atelier games.
A short and sweet platformer with tons of charm, MainFrames is excellent time all around.
Long-time fans of Team Ninja’s titles should certainly enjoy all that Rise of the Ronin has to offer, but others may want to wait for a few more patches before diving in.
