Infinity Nikki is part of a long legacy of games where fashion is a central part of the experience, and because of this, it may initially come across as it would only appeal to the “girly-pops.” But beneath this facade lies an innovative, open-world experience that anyone who enjoys a lighthearted adventure can get behind. It gives you so much freedom that you will spend a lot of your time seeing what the world has to offer. Infinity Nikki completely blew away my expectations out of the water, and it’s worth checking out, especially when you consider the game is free-to-play.

A promising premise bogged down by terrible visual optimization and an infuriating base mechanic.
Awaria is a short game about working in haunted maintenance tunnels. Awaria is just a tight, punchy package crammed with demanding stages, sharp storytelling, and cute kissable ghosts.
Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop has a lot going for it, but I think a lot of your enjoyment will be based on how or where you play it.
Tedious dialogue, bland visuals and confusing combat make Xuan-Yuan Sword: The Gate of Firmament a joyless experience.
Both MySims and MySims Kingdom are pleasant, upbeat games that let you be creative, and MySims Cozy Bundle lets you take your time with both.
Marvel Rivals is a better hero shooter for remaining unbalanced, prioritizing fun over competitive play which allows it to shine.
Stalker 2 is a game as frustrating as it is captivating, delivering an immersive world and gripping narrative, but its performance, technical issues, and poor AI hold it back from reaching its full potential. Dedicated fans will undoubtedly find brilliance here, but for now, it's a flawed gem that may shine brighter with future updates. Review copy provided by company for testing purposes.
Steam Prison: Beyond the Steam prioritizes the story, just like the original otome game, but could had a stronger focus on love interests.

The gameplay loop itself is relaxing and easy. But the characters and the story are so shallow despite being such a huge part of the game that it can grow tiresome.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered is a love letter to the franchise. Whether you’re revisiting Nosgoth or exploring it for the first time, this remaster is a must-play. It not only highlights why these games were ahead of their time but also underscores their enduring legacy.
