Hanako’s Flower Shop is a visual novel that’s definitely not for everyone. With the exception of arranging bouquets, the gameplay mechanics are rather tedious and distract you from the story’s progression. However, if the story resonates with you and you manage to play through to the end, you’ll be rewarded with a powerful emotional experience that shows the creators put a lot of care into its development and crafted the game with love.

Drug Dealer Simulator is a controversial game that isn’t afraid to provoke and trivialize the issue of drugs. If this theme doesn’t bother you, then Drug Dealer Simulator can offer you a unique and entertaining simulation of life as a street dealer. The game is full of details and options that let you build your own criminal empire exactly as you envision it. Despite its average graphics and moral dilemmas, it’s a game that manages to captivate and entertain. So if you’re in the mood for something out of the ordinary, try living out your own criminal dream.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is the only game where you’ll get to enjoy both getting fired from your job and the subsequent corporate motivational video. It’s colorful, absurd, cheeky, and definitely not certified by any safety agency. The game doesn’t take itself seriously, and that’s exactly why it’s more entertaining than a team-building exercise with aliens. If you’ve been missing a combination of sci-fi, corporate cynicism, and colorful chaos in the gaming scene, here’s everything you need in one package.

So what’s the final verdict on Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade? The developers at 7QUARK have undoubtedly demonstrated a keen eye for visuals and perfectly blended traditional Japanese art (ukiyo-e) with contemporary styles (manga and anime). The game isn’t just a feast for the eyes—it’s also a pleasure to play. But that good feeling doesn’t last long. After a few virtual deaths, you’ll inevitably feel the weight of repetition and a justified sense that neither your character nor the gameplay is evolving in any way. Given the low price the developers are currently charging for Yasha, however, it’s still worth considering a purchase.

Spirit of the North 2 is a quiet, melancholic journey that draws on the poetry of nature and animal symbolism. It tells its story without words, relying instead on the power of emotion, which allows it to offer an exceptionally personal experience. But every path has its roots, which can trip you up, and on this one, a few of them stick out. Technical issues and other gameplay clunkiness mar an otherwise compelling journey. If you give the game time and embrace its rhythm, it can become a quiet fox’s pilgrimage through a landscape of hope… or of suffering.

Blood Bar Tycoon is an unconventional, clever, and lighthearted tycoon game built on a strong concept, solid mechanics, and great humor. It isn’t the biggest game in its genre, but it is one of the most memorable—precisely because of its stylization and personality. It can be funny, suspenseful, and laid-back, all while still offering plenty of challenges. If you like management games, enjoy thematic originality, and aren’t afraid of a little blood in your designer cocktail, this establishment definitely shouldn’t escape your attention. And most importantly—finally, a bar where no one gives you a weird look when you order a “triple-shaken 0.”

The Backrooms 1998 – Found Footage Survival Horror Game is a very short but entertaining title that you can finish in about an hour. However, it has an incredibly well-crafted, terrifying atmosphere that keeps you on edge. This is especially true of the monster that’s constantly breathing down your neck and hears almost every breath you take. I definitely recommend playing this game, not only for the atmosphere but also for its deeply unsettling story.

It offers an exceptionally fun co-op mode, pleasant visuals, and solid technical execution that will delight fans of the genre in particular.

It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s charming and unique enough to delight any RPG fan.

Helskate isn’t a game for everyone. There’s no assistance, no simplified modes, and no tutorials to hold your hand. This game requires concentration, patience, and a willingness to learn on the fly. However, it offers an experience like no other. It combines the pure joy of movement with the challenge of a combat system, creating a hybrid style that feels fresh, powerful, and unmistakable. If you don’t mind the deep, guttural roars of death metal, then there’s something here you’ll absolutely love. But if you like going out into the fields to pick dandelions and weave wreaths, this ride isn’t for you.

It’s a sensitive and emotionally powerful story about acceptance, rejection, and the search for a home, told from the perspective of an abandoned cat.

If you’re looking for a game that will make you reflect on the meaning of life, the importance of human relationships, and what the word “home” means to you, then you definitely can’t go wrong with Copycat. And above all, don’t forget to have tissues handy!

Blockbuster Inc. is an ambitious simulator offering plenty of possibilities for creative players who enjoy tinkering with details and crave control over an entire film studio. This title is packed with details and offers a truly wide range of options, from building the studio to setting up individual film scenes. Despite minor shortcomings in the graphics and soundtrack, it’s a solid game that will appeal to fans of the genre. If you’re looking for a comprehensive and immersive simulation of the film industry, Blockbuster Inc. is definitely worth considering. Just be prepared for the game to consume you for dozens of hours as you fine-tune every detail of a film and build your own Hollywood empire. The question remains whether it will keep you entertained over the long term, or if it will become just another forgotten blockbuster. That’s something everyone has to decide for themselves. For now, however, it’s definitely one of the most sophisticated film studio simulators on the market.

The critical objections I raise here against Captain Blood are by no means trivial, but I’m still giving it a thumbs-up in the end. I’m glad this game hasn’t fallen into oblivion and that we can play it completely legally today. Plus, I really did have fun the whole time. I suspect that those who enjoy action titles from the turn of the sixth and seventh console generations—and don’t mind straightforward, arcade-style beat ’em ups—might feel the same way. If you can only stomach the hack-and-slash genre in its current, “cinematic” form, you can probably let this pirate ship sail right past you.

Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is a well-made game. The zombie apocalypse theme isn’t particularly original, but it’s executed well here, and that’s what matters most. Setting the game in the 1980s gives it an interesting atmosphere that blends beautifully with the chosen visual style. However, this isn’t a game you’ll sink dozens of hours into—unfortunately, it doesn’t offer that much content just yet. I also have to point out that you know almost nothing about the characters you’re trying so hard to save. Overall, though, it’s a high-quality 2.5D survival game that I’ll be very happy to return to once the full release comes out.

ATOM RPG is a classic, old-school isometric RPG with turn-based combat and an emphasis on dialogue. You could compare it to a diary found in the ruins. At first glance, it looks old, tattered, and almost worthless. But as soon as you open it, you’ll realize you’ve gone back to the roots of classic, old-school, gritty post-apocalyptic RPGs—games that may not impress with their audiovisual style, but will win you over with their gameplay.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an excellent game and an experience that every RPG fan should give a chance. The developers have managed to create a world that deeply moves players, gameplay that’s fun, and audiovisual elements that we’ll be praising for a long time to come. Many people ask the developers at Sandfall Studio how they managed to create such a great game with such a small team. The answer? “We wanted to create a game that we’d enjoy playing. We’re still playing it and creating new builds. Our team consists only of people who feel the same way.” Perhaps that’s exactly why Clair Obscur exudes the creators’ care and concern for the players. The result is something that goes beyond what we’re used to. It’s not a game you simply play through and finish. It’s a story that the player must experience and that reminds them, once again, why playing games is so great.

CyberCorp is the kind of game that’s headed in the right direction but hasn’t quite lived up to its potential. If you like cyberpunk aesthetics and fast-paced arcade action, feel free to give it a try. Compared to competing titles like Ruiner, The Ascent, or Memory Lost, however, it offers less character and appeal. In short, CyberCorp can be summed up as a technically competent but average game.

Roadcraft isn’t a game that will blow everyone away—but if you give it a chance, it will reward you with an experience that’s rare in the gaming world. It’s not a game about winning, but about craftsmanship. It’s about precision and progress. If you enjoy watching chaos turn into order, mud turn into a road, and yourself become a better player, this is the game for you. At a time when games are often overflowing with content yet fail to leave a lasting impression, Roadcraft is a refreshing return to simplicity and focus. Every project has a beginning, a process, and a result—and that result carries real weight here. And in the end, you can simply say, “I made this.”

Overall, MotoGP 25 is a solid experience for fans of motorcycle simulators and racing games. With improved graphics, realistic physics, and new game modes, it provides hours of fun for both single-player and multiplayer sessions. The game has a few quirks, mainly regarding gamepad controls and responsiveness, but it still offers a great time. If you’re a longtime fan of the series, MotoGP 25 will delight you and provide plenty of challenge.

JDM: Japanese Drift Master costs just under 35 euros at launch on Steam, which is a reasonable price for a solid game with an intuitive driving model that lets you race through Japan’s picturesque landscapes in iconic sports cars. At the same time, however, the game still needs some fine-tuning so you can enjoy it to the fullest. Let’s put the hilariously silly story and performance issues aside for now. The most important things will be to add more variety to the individual races, fine-tune the AI, and implement a more sensible car customization system. The developers promise that this is exactly what they plan to do in the coming months. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for them (and for ourselves).
