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.

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.

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

The Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection is one of the most impressive sets of value and nostalgia with a handful of excellent games. Admittedly, many of the games are filler, but there are around 5 or 6 games like The Sacred Cards that are worth your time and still hold up well even today.

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is an excellent remaster of both the best entry in the series and some of the worst.

Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog is a brilliant start to what is possibly going to be a lengthy and stunning visual novel adventure series. The art style is incredible, the pacing never wastes too much time, and the cast is smartly small to give enough focus on each

Two Point Museum harbours the same comedic charm we've grown to love from the franchise and includes enough new features to keep the format refreshing.
