Jun 17, 2022

Mario Strikers Battle League is a game faithful to the term 'easy to learn, hard to master'. Everyone can enjoy it without any concerns due to its simple controls as well as the exciting visuals are easy on the eyes. However, the lack of game modes and characters can make the game easily tiresome for those who don't fancy about sports that much.

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.

7.3 / 10.0 - Mahokenshi
Jan 27, 2023

A game structured by collecting the major features of popular genres such as TRPG and deck buildings. While each stage is a little bit too long and the deck building feature has a room for development, the game offers a unique experience that is differentiated in similar genres.

7.3 / 10.0 - Forspoken
Jan 25, 2023

While the cheerful combat with cool parkour moves were exceptionally fun, 'Forspoken' has been lacking in so many ways for players who have endured its delay announcement for twice. All those cute cats fill Frey's room only serve to double the loneliness that is already been full in Athian world.

7.3 / 10.0 - GigaBash
Aug 12, 2022

A monster fighting game that we haven't seen in a long time. Casual combat system that is easy to learn, hard to master, and unique monsters make it enjoyable for anyone. It would be a great choice if you want to find an action game to play as a party game.

'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.

7.3 / 10.0 - Chocobo GP
Mar 11, 2022

Chocobo GP is successful fusion of classic kart racing and Final Fantasy characters. It is not only race with modern skills such as drift and tricks but also brawl filled with unique magics in Final Fantasy series. But the quality of season pass and courses is a little bit disappointing.

7.4 / 10.0 - Thymesia
Aug 31, 2022

Thymesia will be a good choice if you are looking for a souls-like game with an interesting combat system. The game tries to differentiate itself with unique combat, which is nearly impossible to take a rest for a moment. And the execution system also feels great in your hands. Except for battles, however, You are going to need patience for its lack of stories and the overall volumes.

7.4 / 10.0 - MADiSON
Jul 20, 2022

Numerous jump scares, logical and challenging puzzles, and psychological horror that shake your mind. It is worth considering that MADiSON has the best core elements among recent horror games. However, the links between the narrative and puzzles may not be easily found due to lack of hints.

7.5 / 10.0 - Nobody Wants to Die
Jul 29, 2024

This game successfully captures the noir aesthetic of 24th-century New York with high-quality visuals, and its unique themes and narrative maintain a strong grip until the end. However, the core investigation parts of the gameplay are quite linear, leaving little room for player curiosity or creativity.

Jul 11, 2024

While the game functions well enough thanks to its proven system and solid foundation, it still shows some shortcomings in various aspects. These can be understandable considering it is still in pre-season, but the game needs to demonstrate something significant in the next update to prove its long-term service potential.

7.5 / 10.0 - Rise of the Ronin
Apr 3, 2024

A refined Team Ninja's action met an open-world experience. While the story unfolds like a grand drama of Japanese history, the limited impact of player choices is a drawback. The inclusion of sensitive real-life figures and the system for building rapport with them may justify the cancellation of the official release in Korea.

7.5 / 10.0 - Last Epoch
Feb 28, 2024

Last Epoch is a quarter-view ARPG designed for genre enthusiasts who may have grown weary of games that are either too easy or too difficult. Providing an immensely enjoyable experience over its five-year early access period, the game has proven itself. However, the servers are somewhat unstable, and the Korean localization is close to being the worst.

7.5 / 10.0 - Pacific Drive
Feb 27, 2024

Pacific Drive successfully reinterprets the core of the survival genre, centered around the bond with your station wagon. While the POV driving mechanics and the anomalies often provide relentless, occasionally exhausting challenges, the game still retains a charm that makes you want to take the wheel once again.

7.5 / 10.0 - Eternights
Sep 14, 2023

An awkward fusion of dating simulation and action. Though the attempt to combine two vastly different genres at opposite ends of the spectrum was innovative, it does not seem to manage a seamless integration. The dating simulation part was surprisingly better than expected, ironically leaving a sense of disappointment.

7.5 / 10.0 - Under the Waves
Sep 4, 2023

It is impressive that the game combines the exploration of the meticulously crafted underwater world with a message of environmental protection. But, it's a bit disappointing that the main story was not easy to immerse due to bugs scattered everywhere, even though it is the core content of this game.

7.5 / 10.0 - Kingdom Eighties
Jun 30, 2023

The latest title in the Kingdom series, reconstructed in the retro vibe of the 80s. Visuals and musics resemble the scene from the 'Stranger Things' are quite attractive. Though it is a bit regrettable that the overall system is similar to the previous game, and the amount of content is a bit too short except for the addition of fellow NPCs.

A top-down, real-time strategy that successfully implemented the tension unique to the well-known franchise. Except for the overall clunkiness, the game's combat system with tough resource management provide both immersive gameplay and a bit of horror.

7.5 / 10.0 - Amnesia: The Bunker
Jun 19, 2023

Amnesia: The Bunker focuses on horror element while it relieves the burden of storytelling side. The overall ambiance of staying together in the bunker with mysterious monsters in the dark is well suited. In particular, the creepy sound effects such as monsters' howling and echoes in the cave did a great job holding the tension throughout the game.

7.5 / 10.0 - LEGO 2K Drive
May 23, 2023

The return of the Lego Racer with intuitive control and brilliant action. The story unfolding in the charming open world and creative mode that fulfills Lego fan's desire are also attractive. Though 2K's notorious micro-transaction is still there, it is a quality game for having fun with family and friends.
