Dec 2, 2024 | Score 70

“The Matchless Kungfu is an incredibly ambitious sandbox from HuanMos Game. The game says build your story and give you every opportunity too. You can play the game anyway you want and still have a great time. Problems come up when you encounter bugs or localization issues. The game also tries to do a lot and not all the systems work. It excels in a lot but also misses the mark in just as much. The game still needs work but with constant updates and a roadmap planned, I am optimistic for the future.”

“With plenty of fish and plenty of stock to invest in, Aquatic Store Simulator ensures hours of playtime for anyone who decides to add it to their library. I prefer simulator games when there is a multiplayer element, especially when there is so much that needs to be done. That being said, you can see that there’s a lot of care that has gone into creating this game which is both enjoyable and educational – I didn’t know how much went into taking care of goldfish! Its approach to a simulator game feels much more in-depth in comparison to those that are also available. It’s the perfect next install for any simulator game fan! Overall, I have to give Aquatic Store Simulator the Thumb Culture Gold Award.”

“With some issues such as gameplay that can tire in the short and medium term, a slightly aggressive monetization system and performance problems that don't get in the way, but are annoying, DEATH NOTE Killer Within combines gameplay, visual style and the appeal of a successful anime to generate a lot of fun and confusion online - even arriving late as a representative of a very specific subgenre from an era that has long since passed.”

“As an RTS novice and a semi-skilled typist, I found my skills called into question playing Touch Type Tale. The game prides itself on being difficult, so go into it expecting to be pushed to improve constantly and learn. There’s enough content to entertain you for a long time, even more so if you can get friends involved. The best of the game was on show when it was experimenting with the scenarios and mechanics. I think there’s probably more that could be explored with this concept too. If you like the sound of a fast-paced RTS that’s going to keep you on your toes, even at middling difficulties, then this game might be the one for you. Touch Type Tale receives a Thumb Culture Silver Award.”

“I’ll give the devs some credit; Albatroz is a really unique game, and it’s also better than their previous game, Distortions. But it’s also a really buggy, unpolished and unfocused experience. I didn’t jive with the story, and the gameplay got on my nerves at times. It’s not entirely bad, though; you can clearly see the devs cared about the game like a passion project of sorts. It’s just a clear case of feature creep on something that should have been a lot simpler, a lot more straightforward.”

“There is nothing overtly wrong with Farmagia, yet somehow it doesn't captivate interest as much as other Marvelous farming titles. It has an intriguing story, a lot of tasks to focus on for progression in terms of attaining skills and expanding the farm, and a variety of characters to lead the party. However, unlike other agriculture themed series, the repetitive nature of farming creatures and romping in dungeons grows old fast. It feels like it is missing a spark, but if there is a sequel, hopefully it will find the excitement that all the other Marvelous farming titles possess that is absent here.”
