“When the Light Dies knows how to combine survival, strategy and a pinch of mystery in a very immersive environment. The need to gather limited resources and constant threat of supernatural creatures keeps the player in constant tension. The concept of balancing the search for light, the combat against enemies and the sanity management offers a challenging and rewarding experience, especially for fans of roguelites.”

“Vengeance Hunters is one of the better and most enjoyable beat’em ups to release in the last year or so. It has that perfect 90s flair, combat is surprisingly deep, boss battles are quite unique and provide a decent challenge. While levels do feel a bit long, the overall experience is incredibly enjoyable and is definitely a must play; especially if you’re a fan of classic beat’em ups. Don’t miss this little gem.”

“All told, The Fear Business is a pretty solid homage to the horror games of yesteryear. It’s not particularly original, but the PS1 aesthetic, sharp design of Solomon Manor, and compelling puzzles work well enough to make up for its annoyances. It’s not a long game (your first playthrough will probably take between 3 and 5 hours), but there are several difficulties to complete and secrets to find, and it seems ripe for speedrunning. I just wish it controlled better and dealing with Goat Face wasn’t so bloody annoying. But if you’re looking for a horror game to spend an evening with, you could do a lot worse. Just… you know, try to be smarter than Sarah the next time you’re investigating mysterious disappearances, yeah? If a dude had offered me a ride to a cult-infested mansion, I would have just gone home.”

“Fans of puzzle games and ’80s horror movies will find plenty to love in Slayaway Camp 2. The addition of new character types not only enhances gameplay but also allows for more inventive puzzles. While the cartoony art style softens the tone, the game is still a bit gory—though less so than its predecessor—making it unsuitable for younger audiences. That said, Slayaway Camp 2 stands out as one of the best puzzle games on the market, offering a nostalgic and entertaining experience.”

“Ascending Inferno may have bested me and kicked my rear relentlessly, but it's still nothing short of a kickass game. Following the template of difficult climbing games but making the design, platforming and gameplay challenge more purposeful than ever before, Ascending Inferno is the best "one of those" games. I may have been tearing my hair out over my fifth straight plummet but that pain was worth it to spend some time with the incredibly cute and likable Dani and Vincent, marvelling in their sibling banter and taking in the weird and wonderful views of the underworld. It's a damn hard time but it's also a great time; with promised quality-of-life additions only later likely going to make the climb all that greater. If you're a glutton for punishment, Ascending Inferno is well worth the Sisyphean uphill battle that awaits.”

“Psychopathy assessment is a game of two halves, and it only takes around 40 minutes to complete. For the first half, I think it is a wonderfully chilling and unsettling experience which also makes you ask yourself thoughtful questions, the second half however is a lacklustre horror game which makes it hard to recommend. But if they ever made a sequel or spiritual sequel that focuses more on the style set out initially - I would 100 percent be excited for it.”

“Shop Simulator: Supermarket is like most sims I’ve played lately, doing the same mundane thing over and over. In the end, it comes down to preference for what occupation might spark your interest. Issues that did appear were small and a quick restart fixed it. Gameplay is okay and you can kill time by easily with it. I think making the game multiplayer definitely helps make it fun. You can bring your own bitchy gossip and work place drama to life to really help with the immersion. In conclusion, Shop Simulator: Supermarket is what you make of it, I can’t say I hated or loved it. Time to scan it with the Thumb Culture Silver Award and shelve it with the rest.”

“Not only does co-op (for up to three players!) make the game feel a lot lighter, but it’s done extremely well, too. One of my biggest gripes with co-op experiences is when you feel like whoever you’re playing with is holding you back, even if that’s just your perception. I can get frustrated when the cameras are locked together, or when your teammate leaves you in the dust. Windblown addresses these problems and so many more. Your cameras are independent of each other, but if you get separated, you can teleport directly to them in just a few seconds. Also, there isn’t much room for fighting over loot, as most of it’s shared equally between the team. You can even find boosts that benefit everyone!”
