Lies of P doesn't merely serve as an outstanding RPG; it stands as a must-play for both newcomers and seasoned veterans alike.
Party Animals reignites the joy of multiplayer chaos. This incredible game features funny animal characters battling it out in hilarious arenas. With simple controls, creative attacks, and diverse gameplay modes, it offers endless laughter and excitement, making it a must-have for party game enthusiasts.
Gunbrella shines as a grungy noir-punk adventure with an immersive narrative and versatile gameplay centred around the Gunbrella itself. Its diverse challenges, rich world, and engaging side quests offer a memorable gaming experience, making it a must-play title at an affordable price.
Boti: Byteland Overclocked delivers a classic 3D platformer experience with a modern twist, appealing to both tech-savvy players and those new to the genre.
While Ad Infinitum's interesting World War I backdrop for a horror game might entice you initially, its lack of polish and uninspired gameplay prevent you from being engaged until the end.
Starfield is a game of highs and lows; for every enthralling and captivating moment, there is an opposing element lurking close by.
Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a refreshing revival of a series that has been in a deep sleep since 2013. The deep customization options and fast-paced mecha combat more than make up for the game's mediocre narrative.
The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood caters to individuals seeking a gaming experience abundant in choices, replayability, and customisation.
Moving Out 2 earns its place not just within the realm of party games but as a valuable addition to any gaming collection.
Remnant 2 is a genre-defining game and a must-have addition to any player’s catalog!
Homeseek provides a well-paced story campaign with varying difficulty levels to cater to different players. While lacking engaging replayability, Homeseek has the potential to be a great title with further updates and fixes.
Dave the Diver is an incredibly charming experience, offering players a somewhat repetitive gameplay loop fortunately saved by its wonderful characters. Its often time cosy atmosphere, offset ever so slightly by the visceral act of hunting fish, and engrossing sushi bar management gameplay kept me coming back for more, despite repetitive fetch quest objectives and ironically shallow fishing. Considering its very low price point, this gorgeous, hilarious, and extremely enjoyable experience is absolutely worth it, especially for all the sushi enthusiasts out there.
Final Fantasy 16 is a tremendously disappointing JRPG with a clunky, shallow narrative, unengaging characters, lifeless environments and overly simplified combat. It's few redeeming qualities, namely its visuals and occasional intriguing story moment, are overshadowed by its plethora of flaws. Final Fantasy 16 is a hard game to recommend, even to diehard fans of the franchise.
Rogue Legacy 2 is the pinnacle of what the genre should be and is a must-play for fans of the original and newcomers alike. Now go make your ancestors proud!
Gerda: A Flame in Winter is an in-depth narrative adventure that teaches you about history while you uncover the secrets of the town. With its minor bugs, it still manages to keep you entranced in the narrative. Its true-to-life storytelling will keep you immersed and guessing with all the hard choices you make. Gerda: A Flame In Winter is perfect for history buffs and narrative story lovers.
With stunning graphics, a dark, bleak atmosphere, and a wealth of loot to collect, Diablo 4 offers a thrilling experience for fans of the series and action RPG enthusiasts alike.
Bleak Sword DX provides an enchanting experience that will keep you engaged throughout your journey. It may not be for everyone, but if you're up for a challenge and appreciate artistic pixel graphics, this indie title is well worth your time.
Lord of the Rings: Gollum disappointingly incorporates outdated mechanics and falls short of its potential. The game's linear approach guides players through levels, with decisions that don't significantly impact the storyline. Furthermore, the platforming mechanics prove to be a significant letdown, and the low-quality graphics and inconsistent music further detract from the overall experience.
Shame Legacy is a bad survival horror experience filled with frustrating mechanics, bad performance, and a scary price tag.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a near-perfect game and a technical marvel that's only slightly overshadowed by its fiddly controls, unintuitive UI and gameplay mechanics that can require too much from the player. Its ambitious and impressive approach to freeform sandbox open-world gameplay is commendable and is executed with the unique specificity only Nintendo could create. The scale of both the world and the content within it is overwhelmingly engrossing and makes for a genuinely immersive experience. Were it not for the occasionally poor execution of some of its most core concepts, Tears of the Kingdom would surely be a 10/10.
