Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter builds upon its predecessor's foundation while expanding the scope and refining the mechanics. The gorgeous art style, challenging combat, and engaging world-building create an experience that stands out in the crowded Soulslike genre.

It's an experience that combines spectacular moments of grandeur with quiet periods of reflection, wrapped in systems that are both engaging to master and meaningful to the story being told.
Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection is a game with interesting ideas that doesn't quite realize its full potential. The monster-raising mechanic provides some tactical depth, and the central love story between Tama and Koko offers genuine emotional stakes. However, clunky combat, inconsistent AI, and technical issues hold it back from excellence.
Arma Reforger isn't just different - it's kinda revolutionary for console military gaming. Yes, it's demanding. Yes, it can be frustrating.

But if you're willing to push through that initial barrier, you'll find one of the most rewarding military gaming experiences available on any platform.

The transformation to VR hasn't just improved Human: Fall Flat - it's revealed what the game was always meant to be.

It's these moments that make you feel like you're living out those legendary rock star stories of hotel demolition.
The foundations are there for an interesting twist on the cyberpunk genre, but the execution falls short in too many areas. From the technical issues to the trying-too-hard writing, SlavicPunk: Oldtimer is a game that reaches for the neon-lit stars but ultimately remains grounded in mediocrity.
It's rare to find a game that pulls you so deeply into its world, but Metro Awakening does exactly that, challenging you to brave its shadows and confront the unknown.

Consider it only if you're in the mood for some mindless chaos and don't mind fighting with the controls to achieve it.
