Dark Auction is a game that trusts you. It trusts you to pay attention. It believes you will think before you judge. It trusts you to think about things that make you uncomfortable. It doesn’t rush you. It doesn’t always try to impress you. Instead, it slowly builds a world, introduces flawed people, and asks you to listen.
Mewgenics is a ridiculously fun strategy game that everyone who likes McMillen and Glaiel, strategy game fans, and cat-fight fans should play the same way. It celebrates self-made stuff, teaches emergent gameplay, and most importantly, combines chaos, humor, and strategy in the worst way.
Lovish is a fun return to platform games from the past. The game made by LABS Works and DANGEN Entertainment feels both familiar and strangely new at the same time. The idea behind the story—saving Princess Tsuna while dealing with Sir Solomon’s crippling insecurities—is silly, funny, and utterly charming.
The Real Face of a VTuber is a good game for people who like mystery visual novels or legal adventures. It may not be as polished or big as other games in the same genre, but it shows creativity, heart, and a clear respect for the player’s interest.
Utawarerumono: ZAN is a strange mix of a visual novel and a Warriors-style hack-and-slash game that will mostly appeal to people who have already played the other games in the series. Its best features are the wide range of characters, the way battles work with groups, and the way players can change how they move, which makes trying out different strategies more rewarding.
When Cassette Boy does well, he sticks to one original idea and builds an entire story around it. The mechanics of changing perspectives feel really new. It turns simple environments into clever puzzle areas that reward trying new things and paying attention.
DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined is still pretty long—even the early hours take more than one sitting to finish—but streamlining makes it less boring than the PS1 and 3DS versions. For a $60 game that gets a lot of attention, Reimagined proves worth the money by offering a lengthy, satisfying, and well-crafted JRPG experience.
Arknights: Endfield feels more like a modern JRPG than a usual mobile-first gacha game, especially on PC, where the resolutions are higher. and the frame pacing is smoother. Sound design is another important part.
Road to Empress I is a well-made FMV game that knows exactly what it wants to be. It’s a palace drama with betrayal, ambition, and perpetual danger that comes to life through great acting and high production qualities. The option structure can sometimes feel limiting and unjust, but the story is still interesting enough to keep you going, even when you die a lot.
Cairn is one of the best independent games of our time. It makes the basic act of getting up tense, sexy, and emotionally powerful. There is a reason for every handhold, slip, and rest point, and the way that environmental hazards, survival rules, and small animations are all put together makes sure that every climb feels like it has a purpose.
I Hate This Place is still one of the most interesting independent horror movies I’ve seen in a while. It could be up there with the best games in its genre if it got some balance fixes and a bigger focus on challenge. As it stands, it’s a stylish, creepy, and often memorable trip that you should take, even if you don’t hate the place by the end.
There is potential here with Code Violet, and with more experience and refinement, a sequel from Team Kill Media could be something worth getting excited about. As it stands, though, Code Violet is a code red. It wants to be Dino Crisis so badly, and sometimes it gets close, but it never quite delivers the experience the trailers promise.
CODE VEIN II is a big improvement over the first game. It gives you a deep, open-world anime Souls-like experience with big battle systems, characters that make you feel a lot, and a world that rewards exploration. Early-game explanations and jargon can be too much, but the story and exchanges between characters quickly become interesting.
BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW works in the end because it is what it says it is: a unique, intense, and personal scary experience. It doesn’t try to be everything to everyone or add extraneous stuff. The fear is psychological, the story has meaning, and the gameplay adds to it rather than taking away. If you like old-school survival horror games like Silent Hill 2 or newer indie psychological horror games, this game will give you a short but unique ride.
MIO: Memories in Orbit is a game that stands out for its contrasts. It has some of the best movement and discovery in the genre, and the audiovisual package is so beautiful that it makes you want to get lost. But its restricted combat depth and sometimes punishing way of moving around keep it from being the best Metroidvania game ever.
INTERGRADE’s PS5 release may still be the greatest in terms of technical performance, but the Switch 2 port is a superb choice that balances story depth, combat depth, and graphic excellence. It’s a great way for new fans of the series to get into it and for old fans to relive their favorites. Once again, Square Enix has brought Midgar to life, but this time it’s in the palm of your hand.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon doesn’t try to hide what it is. Fans should be the ones to play this game. They know Zemuria’s story from generation to generation and across countries. Its best features are the world it creates, the way characters grow, and the depth of its combat. Its flaws are oversized systems, sluggish progress, and a hostile attitude toward newbies.
There are a lot of different things in Kotama and Academy Citadel. It has a great combat system, a smart way to heal, and a strong visual personality through the way the characters are designed. Plus, it has rough platforming, a story that isn’t focused, technical problems, and systems that aren’t fully developed and never quite reach their full promise.
Cloudheim isn’t a copy of Breath of the Wild; it’s its own weird, physics-based world. But it has the same sense of freedom, exploration, and finding. There is already a strong base in the early access version, and the promise of more islands, quests, weapons, and base upgrades in the full release makes it look like it will be even better.
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault has a good start for an early access release, despite certain problems, such as targeting quirks, long boss fights, and limited storage space compared to the variety of relic types. Confidence in Digital Sun’s long-term potential is bolstered by its rapid problem-solving and great responsiveness to criticism.
