8 / 10.0 - Unsouled
May 3, 2022

'Unsouled' is a unique combination of top-down perspective and the key elements of the fighting games. Although the entire stage is a bit short, the game provides a variety of additional contents to immerse yourself in its deep-structured combat system. While the game surely needs an improvement on the tutorials for beginners and lack of visibility, its intense combat mechanic is worth an experience.

"Pocky & Rocky Reshrined" is an indication of the series' successful revival. Delicately drawn characters and stages are more than enough to introduce a charming world of pixel art for those who are familiar with latest video games, As well as giving nostalgic memories for the fans of original game. However, the fact that no big changes were made from 28 years old original work and short playtime are a bit shameful.

'Lumote' is a well made, Multi-dimensional puzzle game with a great combination of lighting and classical platformer controls. While the Lumotes with subtle cuteness were surely amazing, the game somewhat failed to leave a strong impression due to lack of intense elements.

7.5 / 10.0 - A Memoir Blue
Apr 21, 2022

An attractive title with the combination of surreal 3D scene and beautiful 2D artwork. The story created by Shelly Chen is somewhat unclear. And this vague story makes it easier for players to resonate their own experience. However, the game can leave much to be desired for those who would like to enjoy a completed story.

7 / 10.0 - Suhoshin
Apr 21, 2022

It is hard to believe that Suhoshin, a game with extreme details around Korean culture and history have been made by French developers. The game's attempt to share historical information alongside the main story feels natural, far from forcefully explaining everything. Though the core game play itself is a typical visual novel, the game is well deserved for its polished work and rare attempts.

The House of the Dead remake is characterized by a faithful embodiment of the elements of the original. However, it does not reproduce the sophisticated manipulation and immersion, which are characteristics of the gun shooting genre, so it stays in the remake as a rip-off of the original, not a remake beyond the original.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a humorous, well-directed game that made the massive Star Wars series light and enjoyable. It's a pretty good title to be new to Star Wars.

'Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream' is the latest work of Atelier series which is famous for unique alchemy system in gameplay. It took and improved old systems and styles for reviving the series, but inconvenient details of classic games came together. This game is recommended for those who want to savour slow life and relaxing atmospheres.

7.7 / 10.0 - Patrick's Parabox
Apr 6, 2022

It's like a fine dining set for puzzle fans. But it's unsatisfying that its limited reward systems does not motivate gamers to play repeatedly.

8.3 / 10.0 - Tunic
Apr 2, 2022

It is easy to misunderstand TUNIC as an adventure reminiscent of 'Zelda' for its cute, fairytale-like graphics and sound, But the reality is different. While the fox hero grows up overcoming boss battles, the unexpected difficulty stimulates you to challenge more. The catalog styled story and twist also show the game's charms.

"Tiny Tina's Wonderland" is a game that you can enjoy even if you have never played the "Borderland" series. Various guns, which are characteristics of the existing series, remain the same, and the magic spells added this time, melee weapons, and multi-classes have been combined to make the game much interesting. The humorous story and attractive characters are still there, and the charm has been upgraded with the voiceover dubbing. First of all, it's so fun that I don't know if time is going.

Its old fashioned graphics and weird movements are the most biggest wall for new comers. When you overcome those awkwardness, an elaborate combat system and high-speed battle await you. Single play modes are good but multi play environment is not.

7.2 / 10.0 - Relayer
Mar 17, 2022

Relayer is not only a SF game but also an ensemble cast weaving comic stories and nexus between girl pilots. It feels like interesting Japanese robot animations but some similar mechanic design to specific series and featureless simulation systems are disappointing.

8.5 / 10.0 - ANNO: Mutationem
Mar 16, 2022

Fascinating cyberpunk and SCP world awaits you. It is not big but all the elements in the game is almost best: Gorgeous graphics well mixing pixel and 3D, Psychedelic & futuristic sounds, rapid combo & parrying actions with simple controls, and thrilling adventures in cyberpunk style cities & secret labs. If later part and final chapter had been more polished, it would have been nominated indie GOTY.

8 / 10.0 - Ghostwire: Tokyo
Mar 15, 2022

'Ghostwire: Tokyo' is an exciting action game with unique depiction of scary urban legends and an exorcism. The combination of creepy ambience and stylish exorcism-action give us a good reason to love this game. However, sloppy boss fight and lack of variety on monsters can be a bit of demerit for those who wish to deep dive into this neon-covered streets of Tokyo.

"Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin" is the first action RPG in the Final Fantasy series which aims for an action with great difficulty. While the attempt looked good, the results were utterly disgraceful. The game is covered with excessive lighting effects, half-hearted storylines and failed to motivate players to grow their skills. Sadly, 'action' became the only good merit of this game.

"Needy Girl Overdose(Needy Streamer Overdose)" consist of stories from the developer Nyalra's otaku life. It is too immoderate because it is full of ambiguous morals and game designs intended to collapse streamers. But if players has sense of Japanese otaku cultures, they can find real value of the game filled with 80's to 90's sense and satire on internet cultures such as streamers and so on.
