Clair Obscur is a dream come true. A team of just a few people managed to deliver what many AAA studios can't: a game that borders on perfection in everything it sets out to be; a JRPG with an engaging and well-written story, one of the best turn-based combat systems ever created, jaw-dropping visuals, and all of this to the sound of an incredible soundtrack. This game shouldn't exist. But thank goodness it does.

5.5 / 10.0 - Mostroscopy
May 23, 2025

Mostroscopy is one of the most random games I've played in recent times. It has the look and soul of an independent project, with limited gameplay and questionable presentation, but it still manages to be fun. Its unique aesthetics and cultural references are charming in their own right, even if they're exaggerated. Not everything works: the lack of balance, the translation issues, the weak soundtrack and the disjointed story may put off many players. But there's something special here – a sincere effort to create something different. And that deserves recognition.

DOOM: The Dark Ages doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel – and it doesn’t need to. The game delivers the classic, brutal DOOM that fans know and love, now with modern, creative, and well-executed mechanics, giving you the perfect tools to decimate hellish hordes with style.

I understand and respect the developer's proposal: to create games as a hobby. However, charging for a project of this level? It would be more acceptable if it were available for free on itch.io. But no: there is a price here, albeit a low one. Super Engine GT Turbo Spec is generic, uninspired and not very fun. You might be able to extract a minimum of entertainment from it if you turn off your brain, but even then, it's hard to believe that.

6 / 10.0 - The Precinct
May 14, 2025

When I started playing, I was apprehensive about the bugs I would encounter, but I was surprised to find that the game's performance was solid. But as it's not all sunshine and roses, the predictable plot, repetitive gameplay, and weak secondary activities dragged the game's rating down. Still, I see the project in a positive light. If The Precinct had focused more on investigation mechanics, evidence collection, and the variety of events, it would have been a more solid product in the end. The 80s vibe and soundtrack give a taste of what The Precinct could be: a good investigative game and not just a "police GTA".

Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade features engaging and fun gameplay, but after a few hours it can become tiresome due to the repetition of scenarios, enemies, and bosses. The limited variety in this aspect hinders the pace and makes the experience more monotonous over time. Although the game's plot functions more as a backdrop to the battles, it still supports the main action. However, the three protagonists are charismatic and offer distinct play styles, which keeps the game interesting throughout the journey.

8 / 10.0 - AI Limit
May 11, 2025

AI Limit may seem like more of the same at first glance, but it proves its worth by competently delivering the basics. With solid mechanics, good pacing, and striking environments, it's a safe and well-executed choice for anyone looking for a dependable Soulslike experience.

Spirit of the North 2 tried to innovate, it tried to expand, it tried to "raise the bar", but what it didn't do was become a better, more attractive game. Despite having good puzzle ideas and implementing interesting battles, these pillars alone don't support a product that fails in practically everything it does. Its gigantic, empty map and the questionable quality of its elements make it clear that the game needed more polish, and unfortunately the developers didn't see it in time.

Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree surprised me a lot with its range of build possibilities and its very well-made bosses. I expected a lukewarm Metroidvania in its combat, and I was surprised with something completely different. Its art direction is impeccable, bringing all the decadence and horror of this fantasy world. Its skill tree is a show in itself, with a wide range of possibilities for combining builds. Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree fulfills its role, offering great combat with elements of Soulslike and Metroidvania and with jaw-dropping art direction.

8.5 / 10.0 - South of Midnight
Apr 22, 2025

The year 2025 has barely begun, but I'm certain that, until the end, South of Midnight will continue to be one of the most fun, fascinating, and enchanting experiences I've ever played. I loved every minute exploring the southern United States, every visible detail that was clearly created with love by the team at Compulsion Games. The cultural knowledge applied by the developers is top-notch – South of Midnight is not just a game, but also a work of art and a piece of interactive history. The simplicity of the gameplay may not appeal to everyone, but that's just a detail in a sea of ​​​​qualities.

Capcom Arcade Stadium is, ultimately, a competent product. It does a great job of emulating the company's iconic classic games, offering an experience that is faithful to the original titles while also adding modern features like save states and rewind. Unfortunately, it lacked a little more care with Capcom's own history. For those looking for an accessible way to access several classics, this collection is a good option.

Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium is, in some ways, superior to the first collection. The game selection has become even more interesting, and the emulation has been slightly improved, demonstrating that the company is listening to fan feedback. However, the same structural problems persist: the bland presentation and the lack of extra materials reveal a product that feels made with minimal effort. Again: it's a valid and accessible experience to experience nostalgic titles, but it lacked more love.

The First Berserker: Khazan is an incredibly competent game. Its refined combat and challenging bosses make it a solid recommendation for Soulslike fans, although its weak narrative and repetitive environmental elements and enemies prevent it from standing out as a masterpiece. Still, it's a rewarding experience for those looking to overcome brutal obstacles in a visually stunning world, and is, in my opinion, the best Soulslike since Lies of P, disregarding FromSoftware's games. Highly recommended!

BLEACH Rebirth of Souls is the definitive video game experience for the franchise, but that doesn't mean it's a success. Although it offers a good adaptation of the anime as far as possible, as well as a combat system that's different from other arena fighters, the game has several flaws, such as its dated graphics, poor optimization on PC, lack of game modes, and an online mode that didn't work in my experience. Even with all these problems, it's possible that the experience will please longtime fans, even if it's far from perfect.

9 / 10.0 - Reignbreaker
Mar 27, 2025

Amidst the flood of roguelites released in recent years, Reignbreaker stands out mainly for its hand-illustrated art and frenetic combat. Unfortunately, the game falls short in the development of the narrative and characters, making its story more of an empty cliché. Clearly inspired by Hades, the title appropriates some mechanics, but this is not a negative point. On the contrary, it manages to stand out by introducing new combat dynamics and building its own identity within the competitive roguelite genre. Recommended.

Ultimately, Rise of the Ronin is a good game, but it falls short of its potential. For fans of samurai and feudal Japan, there's a lot to enjoy, but those expecting a revolutionary action RPG in the Souls-like vein may end up disappointed. Its combat is satisfying, and combined with an interesting story and a good setting, it may be enough to keep players hooked, but don't expect any major innovations, and be prepared to face terrible technical issues.

8.5 / 10.0 - Nobody Nowhere
Mar 16, 2025

Nobody Nowhere delivers an engaging plot, full of philosophical dilemmas that make the player think. I wish there was at least one more hour of gameplay to better develop some characters, but at the same time, it's refreshing to play an impactful visual novel that doesn't take dozens of hours to complete. Nobody Nowhere is definitely a hidden gem from early 2025.

9 / 10.0 - MainFrames
Mar 6, 2025

After finishing MainFrames, I felt satisfied. The game doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's entertaining, and at the end of the day, that's what matters. With incredible pixel art, challenging platforming sections, and great jokes localized in our language, MainFrames is highly recommended. If you're looking for fast, fun gameplay with a unique retro aesthetic, you've found the answer.

Overall, Morkull Ragast’s Rage is a competent game, but it has some obvious problems, such as the lack of an engaging narrative and the need for more polish in combat and enemy variety. The game gives the impression that the developers used all their ideas in the introduction and left much to be desired in the rest of the experience. Breaking the fourth wall with the main character is a great idea, but it is underused, appearing very few times throughout the game. Morkull Ragast’s Rage presents itself as a unique game, standing out for its charismatic protagonist, but in the end, it delivers a generic Metroidvania, without flavor and ambition.

7.5 / 10.0 - Avowed
Mar 1, 2025

With my journey complete, I can admit that I expected a little more from Avowed. While it offers truly fun combat, a deep story, and great maps to explore, some issues may put players off, such as its complex dialogues and simplified RPG mechanics. Furthermore, the upgrade system can become a real problem if not used correctly. Avowed certainly entertained me, but I expected bigger surprises.
