The game is a story-driven one. If you are looking for an action game, look elsewhere. If you are looking for an engrossing story done with great artwork and sound, plus a clever UI, RUNT delivers. It must be emphasized that this is a brutal game dealing with mature themes.
This isn’t to say I didn’t have fun with it; it’s just a very typical, buggy, EA Sports Madden experience. But, I gotta say, the Franchise and Superstar modes have both seen a ton of improvements that have me coming back for more.
Duskfade is a confident reminder of why 3D platformers once reigned supreme. Packed with character and charm, it’s a great adventure which places movement and traversal at the forefront.
Wild Blue Skies is a tribute to the legendary Star Fox. Its inspirations are clear, from its similar protagonist and crew to the level design and structure. While it delivers a fun homage, it fails to add its own spin, making it feel too familiar to Fox’s adventure.
In the end, the Bubbly Basin DLC is a straightforward extension of the same gameplay loop that defined Pokopia. But that’s one of its great strengths.
ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs takes a genuinely niche premise and turns it into one of the most relaxing and surprisingly fun simulators I’ve played in a long time.
Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is an incredible fighter that captures the high-octane, frantic fun of a superhero battle. Each character is distinct with unique abilities that add personality to every member of the roster.
Soverign Knights is charming, cheeky and challenging, with lots of depth and surprises in store at nearly every turn.
For solo or 1v1 PvP fans, Mistfall Hunter has some real limitations, but for like-minded groups, the game rises above its copycat patchwork.
Few sports titles have left the kind of mark on me that eBaseball: Pro Spirit 2026 has. Konami built something with real identity here, wrapped around the types of career modes I’ve been dying to see in sports games.
Aside from some awkward controls and an art style that might not connect with everyone, Parkasaurus Dinoluxe Edition brings a cozy, casual feel to what is often an intimidating genre.
Dark Scrolls looks and plays like an old-school 8-bit game, but it doesn’t have the refinement and diversity of the top games from that era.
LEGO Party is an absolute blast and easily one of the best local multiplayer games to enjoy with friends and family.
I had a great time playing Beast of Reincarnation, but getting to that point was a bit of a fight. If you can manage to peel back this game’s many chitinous layers, you’ll find something lovely underneath, waiting to shine.
Strip away the fog, the ruins, and the booty, and what’s left is a gameplay loop so thin it barely qualifies as one.
Blue Reflection Quartet is good, but not great. I really enjoyed the shoujo story, pretty visuals, and emotional music. The gameplay was very simple and derivative of other series, but some might find it cozy.
Relic: The First Guardian is not so messy as to be unplayable. In fact, the game’s combat can be excellent at times, and the use of Korean folklore twisted into a dark narrative is an interesting idea.
Culdcept BEGINS is a nice return for a franchise that was simply ahead of its time. It stands as an accessible and polished entry into the series for newcomers, offering a uniquely satisfying experience for strategy fans.
All in all, 70s Style Robot Anime Geppy-X is a very cheesy game. However, it’s also fun as hell. Every time the vocals on a boss theme kick in, my heart starts thumping. If you’re a fan of mecha or shooters, definitely check it out.
Second Story R doesn’t offer any new content, but the game looks and feels terrific. If nothing else, the game goes a long way towards easing suspicion regarding ports on Nintendo consoles.
