Monument Valley 3 is a beautifully crafted point-and-click puzzle game that stays faithful to its predecessors. While it excels in nearly every aspect, the lack of touchscreen support is a noticeable omission. Still, it offers a brief but engaging experience, highly recommended for fans of puzzle games and the series.

Patapon 1 + 2 Replay remains a uniquely rhythmic gem that feels both nostalgic and special even today.

Bit 11 delivers a compelling sci-fi survival experience in The Alters, with strong narrative pacing, deep character connections, and atmospheric world-building that builds toward a uniquely epic conclusion, though a rushed ending and minor technical issues prevent it from reaching its full potential. Still, a well-crafted and memorable journey.

This title fails where it matters most; its core gameplay loop is broken. The art/story deserves better, but they can’t redeem such flawed mechanics. A rare ‘do not buy.’

Nightreign succeeds as a challenging co-op action experience for groups of three, offering satisfying FromSoftware-inspired combat without narrative depth. However, those expecting Elden Ring-level innovation will find it disappointingly derivative. A niche but competent title.

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.
