Lynne Newey at LadiesGamers.com

“With the reassuring familiarity of bright colours and pixelated characters, Legends of Heropolis DX is fun to play. Like so many of the Kairosoft games, you need to find the gameplay loop of developing the city, levelling up your superheroes and battling in order to achieve victory. I thoroughly enjoyed fighting alongside the other heroes in Legends of Heropolis DX and finding my inner superhero.”

“The Sims 4 Life and Death add-on introduces engaging mechanics like ghost afterlife, reincarnation, and realistic features like inheritance and funerals. Romanian-inspired buildings add charm to the expansion. However, the reaper career feels repetitive and suffers from a bug hindering progression.”

“Vampire Survivors: Ode to Castlevania is a masterpiece of roguelike gaming. Impossible to put down, stellar soundtrack and visual design, as well as just being a load of fun. While some games have taken this formula and recontextualised it, the original does it best. Hop in and play as a vampire-killing badass. Highly recommended for Castlevania fans and anyone looking for a fun time. Perfect winter season gaming!”
