Battlefield Waltz is an otome game with a strong protagonist, fascinating love interests, great art, and an opportunity to get to know supporting characters.

While not without its flaws, Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark provides a high-quality Metroidvania experience with a ton of charm.

While the weight of its combat isn't matched by its story, The First Berserker: Khazan offers plenty of challenging thrills for fans of Soulslike games.

7 / 10.0 - Warriors: Abyss
Mar 25, 2025

Warriors: Abyss offers up some satisfying hack-and-slash entertainment, but it falls short of its true potential.

I enjoy Knights in Tight Spaces, but also feel like the game could use a few balancing patches and updates before it hits that roguelike sweet spot.

8 / 10.0 - Look Outside
Mar 21, 2025

There are a few places where the game might softlock you, such as if you don't strategically melt away the ice in the ice apartment room. I highly recommend making multiple saves if you're not already in the habit of doing so.

You won't regret your time with Him, the Smile & bloom, but you also won't get the emotional highs and lows you usually expect from the genre.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows should undoubtedly be the best game in the series to date. The world of Japan is not only the most stunning and varied in the series with its different seasons, but arguably one of the best-looking games of all time. The gameplay also finally finds its neat middle ground with the slower action RPG stylings of Yasuke and the assassination-focused side of Naoe. Unfortunately, the world is frustrating to explore most of the time, holding back this title from its greatness.

5 / 10.0 - Sugardew Island
Mar 15, 2025

Sugardew Island fails to not only live up to the Nintendo DS Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon games, but be memorable in any fashion. Outside of the shop system that I enjoyed for a time, all of the progression and farming mechanics are mediocre.

Atelier Yumia is the bold and right new direction for this series. While it took time to adjust to the action combat, it is unlike anything I’ve played before and quite fun.

Ender Magnolia offers another simple and effective 2D action RPG in a beautifully realized world that refines the prequel's systems.

8 / 10.0 - Expelled!

Expelled is a wicked good time, with each playthrough of the game building on the one before it.

6 / 10.0 - Carmen Sandiego
Mar 11, 2025

The Netflix themed Carmen Sandiego starts strong but soon descends into repetition and tedious progression. And endless airport codes.

6 / 10.0 - Wanderstop
Mar 10, 2025

I believe there are many people who will love and identify with Wanderstop! I just found it clunky, broken on PS5, and far from cozy.

A nostalgic re-release that'll sure to delight fans both new and old. Though I was lucky to avoid performance issues, newer machines may run the risk of them.

Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster might not have earth-shattering additions, but the graphical updates and quality of life adjustments make it a joy to return to these fantastic JRPGs games.

9 / 10.0 - Split Fiction

Split Fiction is a delightfully creative co-op adventure with a lot to say about human connection through creativity.

Cabernet is a unique vampire games I’ve played, and I enjoyed maintaining the balance managing Liza’s life while dealing with pressing tasks.
