Dec 29, 2024 | Score 65

“Overall, W.A.N.D. Project on paper sounds like a survival-type gamer’s dream, but unfortunately, it is just missing some of that special sauce to keep it in the rotation long term. There are definitely some aspects the game could build upon, but at this point it still does feel a bit like an Early Access title. That said, the spellcrafting system is a welcome addition to the genre, and I’d like to continue tinkering around with potential spells.”

“Dungeons of Dreadrock 2 builds on the strengths of its predecessor, offering a fresh collection of inventive puzzles that challenge and reward players. While it doesn’t drastically change the formula, the game’s thoughtful design and expanded world make it a worthy continuation of the series. If you enjoyed the first game, this sequel is an easy recommendation. For those new to the series, starting with the original may be a good idea, but if you’re a fan of puzzle games that demand creative thinking, Dungeons of Dreadrock 2 is a strong choice. As for me, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the game and am excited to see what the future holds for the series.”

“Backyard Soccer ‘98 on Steam proves that sometimes, less is more. By preserving the original’s lighthearted charm and injecting just enough modern updates, this re-release strikes the perfect balance between nostalgia and accessibility. Whether you’re coaching your dream team in League Play or just enjoying the chaotic fun of a pick-up game, the Backyard Sports magic is alive and well. For returning fans, it’s like dusting off an old trophy and finding it still shines. For new players, it’s a chance to experience why Pablo Sanchez remains a legend in gaming lore. Either way, this is one nostalgic kick that hits the back of the net.”

“Void Crew is chaotic and punishing, but it’s also a rewarding co-op experience that shines brightest when teamwork holds it together. The learning curve is steep, the polish isn’t always there, and failure comes often… but that just makes the victories you achieve all the more sweeter. With its satisfying sense of progression, frantic yet enjoyable gameplay loop, and slew of wild co-op moments where everything clicks (or goes completely pear-shaped), Void Crew delivers a space faring adventure that rewards persistence and teamwork. It may not be for everyone, but if you’ve got a dedicated crew ready to dive into the chaos, it’s absolutely worth the trip.”
