Fran J. Ruiz at VG247

Feb 25, 2025 | Score 100

“Black Ops 6 isn't just a strong new entry in a massive franchise that feels like going to Burger King and getting exactly what you ordered. It's the most confident Call of Duty has been in years, with both Raven and Treyarch taking a few well-calculated chances where they could afford to do so, and trimming the fat off the core 'Twitch FPS' experience that regular customers come for year after year.”

“Daemon Masquerade's corkboard mechanic is so simple that I can't believe it's not a standard feature of the genre. It's implemented near flawlessly here, with a compelling narrative that'll glue your butt to your chair for its runtime. Being just a few hours long, it's a perfect bite-size mystery.”

The mechanics of cooking and customer service immerse you in a strange, creepy and surprising story. The fates of the characters are emotional and the moral dilemmas are truly complex.

“Wilmot Works It Out is a simple cozy game with exciting elements sprinkled in throughout the gameplay. While some of the puzzles took me a little longer than others because of similar colors or patterns, it was the perfect amount of difficulty to get my brain thinking. I absolutely enjoyed being able to help Wilmot make his home more comfortable, even if the subscription overlords had him hooked in a constant loop of new puzzle boxes. If you love cozy games like me, add Wilmot Works It Out to your list as it’s the perfect mix of puzzle solving and decorating in an adorable little bundle.”

While it falls short in enemy variety, narrative delivery, and platforming precision, its strengths in atmosphere and gameplay make it a journey worth taking - especially if you’ve got a soft spot for platforming, hack & slash, and 2D sci-fi Metroidvanias.”

While its open world can feel sparsely populated and technical jank occasionally mars the combat, the game's bold artistic vision makes it a must-play for horror and metal fans who crave something raw and uncompromising.”
