Blood of Mehran is a wasted opportunity. A compelling concept is buried under repetitive gameplay, a weak story, and technical problems, highlighting a critical need for innovation in Persian game development.

Diplomacy is Not an Option blends classic and modern strategy with fun humor. However, its weak storytelling, poor AI, and balance issues hold it back. Best for hardcore strategy fans who love a tough challenge.

Angry Video Game Nerd (8-bit) is a quality 2D platformer, but its extremely short length & annoying golden poop gimmick hold it back. Best for die-hard fans of the show only.

Once Upon a Katamari is neither as revolutionary as its grandfather, Katamari Damacy, nor so small that it merely follows in the footsteps of its predecessors. It stands in the space between nostalgia and rebirth

Sonic Racing Crossworlds successfully revives the Sonic kart racing series, setting new standards for the subgenre with its innovative track design, Crossworld system, and deep customization. The experience starts with polished gameplay, peaks with next-gen visuals and energetic music, and sustains engagement through online modes and progression systems. However, flaws like slow progression, unbalanced item pricing, and framerate limits on PC prevent it from achieving masterpiece status. Despite these issues, it remains an entertaining, well-crafted title highly recommended for fans of Sonic, arcade racing, kart racing, and multiplayer games.

Hell Clock is certainly not for everyone, but it undoubtedly has its own specific target audience. As a roguelike, it doesn't deliver a bad experience, and had the developers invested more time in its story and internal logic, it could have become a genuinely good and memorable game.

The Rogue Prince of Persia was one of the most unexpected comebacks in recent years, and fortunately, it delivered a satisfying experience. While not without flaws, like most games, these issues are not severe enough to undermine its overall quality. Many of them feel like missed opportunities rather than fundamental failures. If you're a fan of the Prince of Persia series (especially *The Lost Crown*) or seek a polished, concise roguelite, don't miss *The Rogue Prince of Persia*.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach shows significant improvement over its predecessor, demonstrating a clear maturation of its core ideas. The game delivers a narratively rich experience, with professional actors beautifully portraying profound human values. However, unnecessary missions, repetitive gameplay, and occasionally tedious segments prevent it from achieving masterpiece status. Despite these flaws, it remains a meaningful and successful sequel, poised to attract an even broader audience.
