CriticLenz's Reviews

Jul 15, 2025

A masterclass in sci-fi storytelling. 8-hour core experience expands with multiple endings. Perfect for players who prioritize narrative depth over action.

Karma asks not 'can you win?' but 'can you heal?' In prioritizing emotional resonance over mechanical depth, it becomes one of gaming's rare works of psychological alchemy.

6 / 10.0 - Blades of Fire
Jul 3, 2025

Blades of Fire’s excellent combat is kneecapped by awful level design and enemy AI. Hard to recommend unless you’ll tolerate anything for a good swordfight.

A folktale come to life, South of Midnight enchants with its visual and auditory sorcery even as its gameplay stumbles between simplicity and depth. More than the sum of its parts, this is Compulsion Games' most evocative work yet, a southern gothic melody that lingers despite its imperfect notes.

7.5 / 10.0 - The Midnight Walk
Jun 26, 2025

The Midnight Walk’s breathtaking art and moody narrative compensate for, but can’t fully redeem its shallow, repetitive gameplay. A feast for the eyes, but thin for the hands.

5 / 10.0 - Mostroscopy
Jun 26, 2025

Mostrocopy is the fighting game equivalent of a bargain-bin DVD compilation a janky, thoughtless collage of better games’ ideas. Only for the truly desperate.

7 / 10.0 - The Precinct
Jun 25, 2025

Imagine Police Quest meets Hotline Miami—The Precinct nails the vibe but stumbles on narrative. At $30, it’s a fun (if flawed) indie cop sim.

5 / 10.0 - Captain Blood
Jun 23, 2025

Captain Blood starts strong with nostalgic appeal, but repetitive combat and uninspired enemy design drain its potential. A missed opportunity for deeper innovation.

Bleach’s fighting core shines, but clunky storytelling and jarring cutscenes hold it back. Hardcore fans only.

A masterclass in visual novel storytelling, The Hundred Line delivers both quality and quantity, with 30+ hours of gripping narrative and 100+ hours of content for dedicated players

Only for historians or masochists. Modern players will find its flaws far outweigh its nostalgic charm.

While mechanically sound, The First Berserker: Khazan fails to innovate, its by-the-numbers narrative and uninspired worldbuilding relegate it to ‘just another’ genre entry.

Days Gone Remastered: Better visuals, same soul. Fixes the ‘how it runs’ but not the ‘why it drags.’ A solid upgrade for first-timers.

7 / 10.0 - Songs of Silence
May 29, 2025

A triumph of faction-driven storytelling. The interwoven narratives of three desperate groups, each with distinct philosophies but shared survival needs, make every tactical decision resonate. Card-based mechanics and striking art frame this as a thinking player’s strategy gem.

8.5 / 10.0 - Avowed
May 27, 2025

Avowed redefines modern RPG expectations with its refined combat and accessible design, though its narrative and character development lack depth. Prioritizing technical polish over classical RPG complexity, it carves a unique niche, flawed but undeniably entertaining, and ultimately a worthy addition to the genre.

6 / 10.0 - Steel Seed
May 26, 2025

Steel Seed’s ambitious vision never fully coalesces. While its thought-provoking sci-fi narrative, solid art design, and creative gameplay concepts show promise, repetitive combat, technical hiccups, and uneven pacing drag the experience down. Best suited for AI-fiction enthusiasts, though action-seekers may find it lacking. Ultimately, a diamond in the rough is worth playing, but it needs polish to shine.

While the issues plaguing Commandos: Origins on consoles don’t render it a bad game, the current state is undeniably marred by technical shortcomings. Until the development team addresses these problems through necessary updates, our final assessment remains as detailed above.

8 / 10.0 - RoadCraft
May 22, 2025

Leveraging creative systems and accumulated developer wisdom, Roadcraft achieves remarkable cohesion. Despite minor shortcomings, the $50 investment feels justified, as the core loop delivers both accessibility and strategic depth - a must-try for infrastructure simulation aficionados.

Wall Town Wonders’ beautiful VR city-building shines in bursts, but repetitive tasks and clunky controls keep it from reaching greatness, making it a soothing, if forgettable, PSVR2 experiment.
