Kim Snaith at GameSpew

Apr 6, 2026 | Score 90

“Zelda meets Dark Souls, Tombwater is a fantastic action adventure set in a Lovecraftian reimagining of the Wild West. Tricky combat is king here, but thanks to difficulty options you can choose to focus on exploring the rich world around you and uncovering its secrets. This is a real hidden gem, and one that really should be on any action-adventure fan's radar.”

“Posthumous Investigation doesn't just rely on paying homage to one of the great classics of Brazilian literature; beyond the retelling, it delivers a game that respects your freedom and intelligence as a player by presenting a game with little guidance and full of puzzles that only the best point-and-click games know how to do.”

“Legacy of Kain: Ascendance offers a fantastic prequel story with the iconic original voice cast, finally answering decades-old questions for fans of the series. However, the disjointed art style, repetitive combat, and frustrating level design make the actual gameplay a struggle to enjoy. It is a vital piece of lore for fans, but playing on Story mode is the best way to experience it.”

“I fell so in love with Giovanna 'eight shots' Randazzo and the "decopunk" world she inhabits that I can easily overlook the problems it has with its narrative and technical aspects. It's a great narrative RPG, and I'd love to see its universe expanded in future games. The 'lore' was great, the turn-based vehicle combat was challenging and exciting. The visual art and musc are perfect. I wish it had better plot points and didn't run so bad in my PC, but I really didn't care that much about those issues.”

“While the stealth sequences fare better, the result is a game that is pretty compelling when it’s telling a story but slows down too much when it’s trying to let you live out your power fantasy. While it’s a must-play for diehard fans of the TV show, those struggles make it harder to wholly recommend to those unfamiliar with the series.”

“GRIDBeat! is a well-designed hybrid that understands both halves of its identity, rhythm, and dungeon crawling, and manages to fuse them into something genuinely engaging. It refines the genre in a way that feels fresh. The gameplay is tight, the music is integral, and the overall experience hits that sweet spot between challenge and satisfaction. Most importantly, it finds that elusive rhythm game magic, that moment where everything clicks, and you stop thinking and play. And when a game gets you there? That’s when you know it’s doing something right.”
