The Heretic + Hexen bundle offers a collection of classic first-person shooters with their authentic 90s style, enhanced by visual and audio improvements that bring more clarity and quality without compromising the core experience. It’s a great choice for retro gaming enthusiasts and those interested in exploring the history of the genre, though new players may find it less appealing due to its traditional design and some technical issues, such as weak hit detection and awkward movement.

We had an enjoyable experience with The Rogue: Prince of Persia, which delivers fast and fluid parkour, captivating music, and a striking artistic direction. However, the story feels shallow and the content relatively limited, making it a better fit for fans of roguelikes and lighter experiences.

NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound is not just an attempt to revive an old name, but rather an experience that blends the spirit of the past with a fresh new soul. It delivers a fun and smooth dose of action while staying true to the original identity of the series, enhanced with modern touches in both design and presentation. If you're a fan of the genre or looking for a 2D action game with a classic feel and beautiful visuals, you'll find an experience here that's well worth your time.

Fallen City Brawl brought back the nostalgic vibes of the arcade era, but it failed to deliver an experience on par with classic games of the past. The game is overly simple, extremely short, and annoyingly repetitive. While the local co-op mode and appealing pixel visuals are nice touches, they aren’t enough to make up for the lack of variety and depth in the overall experience.

inZOI offers an enjoyable life simulation experience with extensive freedom, combining character and home customization with a wide variety of professions and activities. It is supported by strong visuals and dynamic weather that add both realism and beauty to the world. Despite its stable performance, the limited scope of the world, slow texture loading, and some character interaction issues prevent it from being perfect. Still, it remains a promising experience for fans of this genre.

Abyssus tried to blend the excitement of first-person shooters with the progression system of roguelike games, but it failed to strike a balance that satisfies players. The repetition, slow pacing, and limited design choices made it feel like an early access title, despite being a full release. However, it still carries untapped potential that could have turned it into an unforgettable experience.

Deadzone: Rogue offers a fast-paced and enjoyable shooting experience. While it may be simple and somewhat repetitive, it delivers solid action for fans of roguelike games. It won’t impress you with its story or visuals, but it makes up for it with weapon variety and satisfying challenge. A game worth trying if you're looking for something different and lightweight.

Sword of the Sea was not just a fleeting experience, but one that surpassed all expectations. From its very first reveal, it was clear that we were witnessing a unique work and an enchanting journey. What the Giant Squid team delivered placed the game in a special league of its own, making it simply one of the standout titles of the year — and perhaps even one of the finest experiences of this entire generation.

Gaucho and the Grassland presents good ideas and a distinctive atmosphere that reflects the spirit of life in the grasslands, but it suffers from an identity shift between adventure and cozy games, which prevents it from delivering a cohesive experience and causes it to lose part of its charm.

Midnight Murder Club tried to deliver a group experience that blends humour and tension, but it failed to strike the right balance. The visuals are average, and while the game feels vague at the start, it can still offer some fun moments with friends thanks to its distinctive sound design. It’s more suited for those looking for short-term cooperative entertainment, but not for players seeking a long-lasting immersive experience.

Mafia: The Old Country offers a beautiful yet traditional experience. It seeks to honour the legacy of the series by returning to its roots, but it fails to take a step forward either in gameplay or storytelling. While it may captivate fans of gangster worlds with its visual beauty and strong character performances, it might disappoint those looking for genuine innovation in the series.

Viewfinder is not just a puzzle experience; it is a serene artistic journey filled with innovation and exploration. It offers a distinct experience away from traditional action games, blending visual beauty, indirect storytelling, and puzzles. If you are looking for a unique gameplay experience, Viewfinder is well worth giving a chance to immerse yourself in its mysterious and creative world.

Primal Planet is not the best Metroidvania you’ll ever play, but it offers a unique blend of prehistoric survival and sci-fi elements, with an emotional wordless story and charming pixel art visuals. Despite its clear issues with world design and map navigation, it remains a journey worth experiencing—especially for fans of exploration.

Road Redemption delivers a thrilling, violent racing experience that blends speed with chaos, featuring a Roguelike system that constantly pushes you to replay. Its main drawbacks lie in the steep difficulty curve at the start and some repetition after long sessions, but it remains highly entertaining—especially when played with friends. And since it’s free this week on the Epic Games Store, it’s an opportunity you definitely shouldn’t miss.

Wheel World isn’t the groundbreaking experience we were hoping for, but it’s not a complete miss either. If you’re looking for a light racing game with a charming artistic style and a short playtime of around 6 hours, you might find some enjoyment here. However, if you’re after a deep and varied experience, it may feel like a wheel spinning in the same place.

The King is Watching is one of those unexpected surprises—a game no one anticipated, yet it delivers an innovative experience blending roguelike mechanics with strategy elements. While it may seem complex at first, the deeper you dive, the more rewarding it becomes. If you’re looking for a fresh experience that challenges your planning and decision-making at every step, this title definitely deserves a spot in your library.

The RPG attempts to deliver a satirical role-playing experience that mocks classic RPGs, featuring a random world and simple gameplay. While certain moments can be amusing in their humor and absurdity, the lack of a story, the simplicity of combat, and the weak visual design make it a limited experience. The game is aimed at those seeking a lighthearted and comedic experience, but it is far removed from any sense of seriousness or depth.

Dead Take is a commendable attempt at psychological horror games, seemingly born from genuine passion and a desire to deliver a distinctive experience with a unique visual style and vivid storytelling. The involvement of well-known actors from the gaming world added a professional touch and greater depth to the experience, reflecting the clear ambition of the development team. While it stumbled in delivering a fully cohesive horror experience, it nevertheless left a notable mark on the genre.

Emperyal offers intriguing ideas and a solid artistic direction, but its story feels shallow and the combat falls short of expectations. Despite its innovative gameplay concept, repetition and simplicity take a toll on the experience. It’s worth a try for indie fans, but it doesn’t go much further than that.

Donkey Kong's journey in search of bananas is not just a display of destructive strength; it’s an adventure full of ideas and delightful moments—a quest that respects the player’s time, rewards exploration, and constantly reminds them not to miss Nintendo’s major titles.
