“Completely Stretchy presents itself as an interesting attempt to offer a purely demented gaming experience, a refuge from the complexity we often seek in increasingly difficult titles. Its artwork and surreal aesthetics manage to hit the mark, drawing a crazy world that all in all attracts. The idea behind the gameplay, with elastic arms as its fulcrum, is undoubtedly intriguing, capable of providing flashes of genuine, light-hearted fun at times. However, the potential of this experiment is unfortunately stifled by significant technical and gameplay issues. Precarious optimisation and often imprecise controls turn originality into frustration, making it difficult to fully appreciate the rare moments when the mechanics work in harmony.”

“It's hard to recommend Breath of Death VII: The Beginning: Reanimated to anyone but fans of the 2010 original and maybe to a few of those diehard aficionados of super old-school JRPGS. Bad? No. It's actually a pretty good game, but it leans too much on comedy to be immersive, and its short length makes it feel more like a taste of something more epic in scale and scope.”

There's been great care taken to re-create the original tables, from the artwork to the physics, and the additional flourishes do a good job of making the tables look gorgeous without interfering with the gameplay at all. This is an easy recommendation for a buy.”

It’s a perfect choice for players looking to unwind, whether they’re seeking a quick break from a busy day or a soothing experience to help them relax. While its simplicity and brevity may not appeal to everyone, those who appreciate the artistry and peacefulness of games like A Short Hike or Journey will find much to love here.

“Astrometica is a well-crafted survival experience, though heavily inspired by Subnautica. Its space setting and gameplay mechanics, while familiar, manage to offer a unique atmosphere thanks to the cosmic void and environmental storytelling. However, the lack of vibrant ecosystems and a greater variety of biomes risks limiting its long-term appeal. It’s a title to keep an eye on, especially for genre fans, but with the understanding that it may not completely reinvent the formula that inspired it.”

“The Restless Sheep & The Lone Wolf -A Tale of Cutthroat Lovers- brings a plot of violence, action and romance in an intriguing criminal underworld ambiance in Kabukicho. The story, despite its issues in character development, offers an immersive experience with Kurashiki's shady, detailed worldbuilding standing out, and a very good portrayal of it with vibrant colors and the excellent character design. However, the game experience is hindered by questionable choices in the sex scenes. If you manage to ignore these excesses, you'll find an intriguing story and a twisted romance and, for those with the guts and the disposition to face the visual novel's negative aspects, it may offer an experience that is at the very least curious.”
