“Screamer tries to blend anime storytelling with arcade racing, but the result feels disjointed and ultimately boring. While the visual style and split-screen multiplayer are welcome, the repetitive structure, weak driving mechanics, and poorly presented story that's easy to skip drag the experience down. It's a unique idea that never truly comes together.”

“Anyone who has loved the entire lore of the series from the very beginning, is finally looking for closure to the original storyline, and is satisfied with lighthearted fan service combined with good music will find what they’re looking for here. It’s also suitable if you don’t want to invest an excessive amount of time and don’t mind simple, sometimes flawed graphics. However, it’s not really recommended for newcomers due to the lack of prior knowledge needed for the overall experience those who are curious should first invest in the Life Is Strange Collection with remastered versions of all previous entries, which also offers very good value for money.”

“Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection checks all the boxes for a content-complete, nostalgic remaster. Capcom goes the extra mile to preserve its legacy, and new features spruce up an enticing bundle.”

“SHINONOME ABYSS The Maiden Exorcist perfectly fuses the world of survival horror with the surprise and punishing difficulty of the roguelike, especially in the randomly generated mode. It’s held me captive much longer than I anticipated. That said, it is a slow and punishing game, so you’re either going to fall in love with it or it might just not click if that’s not your cup of tea. The puzzle aspects may throw people off, too. But for me, it’s been a genuine sleeper hit for 2026, and I would love to see how far this unique formula can be taken.”

“I fell in love almost instantly with Damon and Baby. It was a complete surprise, and I think Arc System Works has hit it out of the park, despite being known more for their fighting game entries. It shows they aren’t a one-trick pony, with ArcSys’s arc as a developer perfectly emulated in Damon and Baby as the game too constantly evolves throughout its somewhat poor pacing, both in the gameplay and the story. The game is a jack of all trades, and while it doesn’t master any, Damon and Baby makes for a rather entertaining time. It once again shows that developers don’t always need the biggest budgets and all the AAA bells and whistles to create an endearing and fun title.”

“Ariana and the Elder Codex is a truly fascinating game despite its hiccups. Its one of those games that has some really good gameplay if you want something a bit more active, hectic or even just plain chaotic. The fact that its stories are a bit more independent also makes it a great game for quick bursts to shorter gaming sessions. So if you’re interested in something that’ll keep you busy without having to dedicate extensively long hours, this might just be the game that scratches that itch—that is if $39.99 or £26.99 sounds reasonable enough for a game that you’d finish in around 10 hours give or take.”

“Jesus Simulator tries to provide an interactive experience around the life of Jesus, but the execution falls somewhat short. Unclear objectives, minimal graphics, and frustrating controls make it difficult to enjoy the game, preventing the concept from being fully realized.”

“I had a good time, but was only really able to enjoy the game in shorter bursts. If you’re a platformer veteran and looking for something that is out of your comfort zone, you really cannot go wrong with Rubato. Even though I don’t think I’ll personally revisit it any time soon.”

“Ghost Master: Resurrection is a game that’s hard to judge definitively. On the one hand, it’s a very successful remake that faithfully recreates the original Ghost Master. It offers significantly revamped visuals, new missions, and additional content that’s set to be expanded further—albeit in the form of paid DLC. On the other hand, when viewed through the lens of today’s standards, it’s hard to overlook its shortcomings. Technical issues, poor optimization, and mediocre graphics mean that despite improvements over the original, the game still feels rather outdated.”

“The Coin Game is not a deep game, but it is a fun game. The game seeks to emulate the classic arcade experience and build a world around it, and I can strongly say that it succeeds. It builds on its core gameplay loop with a wide variety of activities, environments, and game modes. It uses neat tricks and solid design principles to bypass its graphical weaknesses and create delightfully atmospheric locations. And above all else, it completely captures the feeling of blowing your weekly allowance on games of chance and saltwater taffy. The Coin Game didn’t challenge me, or move me to tears (except when I missed the final block on Stack’Em). What it did was make me smile. It made made me feel like a kid again. And for that I can confidently give The Coin Game a Thumb Culture Gold Award. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some Dunko cards to grind.”

“Crimson Desert lives up to its promise, delivering a rich open world with plenty of activities and fun combat. However, the title doesn't reach its peak because it lacks a particularly compelling protagonist and wastes the potential of other playable characters. Furthermore, the project still needs some polishing.”

“While there’s a certain pleasant predictability to the grind of dig, surface, make better equipment, and repeat, its appeal will likely be narrow”

“As beautiful as it is enjoyable, The Artisan of Glimmith is a relaxing puzzle game about arranging shapes to complete stained glass windows. With a wealth of puzzle types and different difficulties, this is a joy to play for anyone who likes to while away the hours solving classic puzzles.”

“The Ratline challenges players to find Nazi criminals using nothing more than their own brainpower, limited starting information, and the ability to chat up people and search an archive. Its mysteries are inspired by history, with plenty of details that will probably lead some to learn more about World War II and the real ratline but also have plenty of solid fictional twists and turns.”

“A relatively accessible rail simulator that pays homage to Thomas and his friends. I would strongly recommend IF you are already familiar with Dovetail's previous rail simulators - but only cautiously recommend if you are a Thomas & Friends fan looking for a more traditional gameplay mechanics.”
