Hammerting is a promising but overly micromanaged dwarf colony builder. While its concept—crafting a mountain fortress to fuel wartime trade—is intriguing, the game struggles with clunky AI, overcomplicated systems, and overwhelming micromanagement. Despite charm and clever ideas, it lacks the polish or balance to fully deliver on its potential.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl brings together beloved cartoon characters in a Smash‑style brawler, but despite solid core mechanics and a fun roster, the game feels unfinished and oddly lifeless. Sparse modes, weak presentation, missing voice acting, and inconsistent stage design keep it from delivering the chaotic charm its theme promises, even if it works as a simple party brawler with friends.

The story is great, the voice acting superb, and the gameplay is a tedious chore that drags it all down.

Now here we have a solid Poirot-style mystery, but the experience is dragged down by shallow gameplay, frustrating deduction boards, limited exploration, and uneven presentation. Despite a good story and decent voice acting, the game’s restrictive design and awkward logic puzzles leave it feeling more tedious than clever.

A long‑awaited return to classic side‑scrolling exploration delivers a fast, polished, and cleverly guided adventure where tense E.M.M.I. encounters, sharp boss fights, and smooth progression keep the momentum high. A few rough edges, like repetitive environments, forgettable music, and occasionally clumsy controls, don’t stop the experience from feeling like a triumphant and fitting finale to a decades‑long saga.

Witty, charming, and full of charm, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a winner for both fans and newcomers alike.

Sable is a serene, open-world coming-of-age adventure with no combat, where exploration and self-discovery are key. Its breathtaking visuals, atmospheric soundtrack, and freeform structure shine despite frustrating controls, poor performance, and usability quirks. A beautiful, meditative experience—if you're patient with its flaws.

Smart, weird, and cooky, Alan Wake Remastered is just as baffling and fun as ever. The combat gets tedious well before the end, but this inventive love letter to Stephen King and David Lynch is such a delight that it doesn't even matter.

What starts as a quirky, colorful firefighting romp quickly reveals itself to be repetitive, clumsy, and far more fun in concept than execution. With friends online it can offer brief chaotic fun, but solo play fizzles out fast

A soothing, goal‑free building toy that lets you create charming island towns one click at a time. Its smart underlying algorithm turns simple inputs into believable architecture, making the experience relaxing, beautiful, and endlessly pleasant. Even if player control over details is intentionally limited.

A stylish detective adventure that blends sharp storytelling, energetic combat, and a huge variety of side activities into one of the series’ most engaging experiences. A slow, school‑focused opening and a few familiar rough edges hold it back slightly, but once the plot gains momentum, the game becomes a rich, entertaining ride that stands among the studio’s best work.

This minor miracle proves once again that it's in indie titles where we can find the most precious gems in gaming.

A slow, minimal walking sim built around metal‑detecting and quiet conversations, offering little actual gameplay and a story that never becomes as engaging or mysterious as it promises. Strong voice acting can’t compensate for repetitive mechanics, weak visuals on Switch, and a two‑hour experience that feels more like a slight novella than a compelling game.

Yes, it's packed with star power, and yes, it's got an M. Night Shyamalan-level idea behind it, but all that is irrelevant because 12 Minutes is a chore to play. It's a game that hates being a game and should have been a short film instead.

It's just as good as the first one, and that's both a good and bad thing.

Humankind has grand, sweeping ideas and it almost pulls them off. The scope is understandably limited compared to Civilization, but this is the kind of ambitious game design that deserves praise for trying, even if it doesn't always succeed.

Road 96 is a dynamic, episodic road-trip adventure set in a dystopian country on the brink of revolution. Blending light survival mechanics, procedural storytelling, and branching choices, the game follows six teens escaping to the border by any means necessary. With memorable characters, meaningful decisions, and replayable structure, it offers a unique take on narrative gaming—despite its simplicity and occasional repetition.

A stylish, time‑bending homage to classic JRPGs that shines with its clever temporal mechanics and charming world, yet stumbles with slow combat, intrusive random encounters, and pacing issues. The inventive ideas keep it engaging, but the old‑school frustrations make the experience feel both delightful and frustrating at once.

Last Stop is a supernatural narrative adventure set in modern-day London, told through the interwoven stories of three distinct characters. While its dialogue and voice acting shine, the limited player agency, excessive walking segments, and lack of meaningful consequences dull the impact. Despite its compelling mystery and strong atmosphere, the game ultimately feels more like an interactive drama than a truly interactive experience.

A flashy, fast‑paced Musou brawler that delivers exactly what the genre promises: thousands of enemies defeated, over‑the‑top action, and a satisfying power fantasy. While the story presentation is uneven, the roster smaller than before, and the lack of English dubbing may frustrate some players, the combat variety, stylish visuals, and strong soundtrack make the experience an enjoyable, if familiar, battlefield romp.
