“In handheld mode, the game looks very good on the large Switch 2 screen and there were minimal frame rate issues. The game looked just as good when playing on the TV, and there were barely any issues. I can’t say anything about how the game might run on the original switch, but it’s quite the behemoth on its successor.”

“Duck Paradox is a unique gem, featuring an adorable charm and highly replayable loop that feels like an old-school platformer more than a modern roguelike. Steep bullet hell difficulty aside, it deserves more content to keep players saving the day with an ever-growing waddling of ducks alongside of Dr. Paraducks!”

Hidden in my Paradise

Latest Review

Julie Cooper at video games are good

Feb 4, 2025 | Score 75

“Where Hidden in my Paradise shines is that it is artistically intricate but mechanically simple. It strikes an excellent balance in its difficulty level across the board, in my opinion never straying into either hidden object extreme — you know, the old, “This is so simple that I might as well not be playing anything at all,” or the classic, “I just spent 30 minutes searching for one item and, actually, who made this cruel game? The DEVIL?” Its middle-of-the-road difficulty makes it approachable, but at the same time it gets a bump in complexity from having multiple objectives (hidden objects, fairies, snaps, and chests) in each level as well as the creative sandbox mode that can add hours of additional gameplay. It brings all these elements together seamlessly and with great charm, and I loved experiencing for myself via the sandbox mode just how painstakingly designed each level must have been created by Ogre Pixel.”

“Call of Olympus is a DLC that, while remaining in the familiar territory, seeks to renew the formula of the Kingdom saga thanks to the addition of interesting new features, an excellent addition for a title that still has a lot to give. Undoubtedly, we are facing a great excuse to return -or also discover- one of the best games in its genre.”

“Silent Hill 2 remains one of the most powerful narrative experiences ever created. Replaying it over 20 years later with remade visuals and gameplay is invaluable, especially for newcomers to Silent Hill’s haunting world. Some mechanics feel dated and the push for constant scares can be heavy-handed, but its atmosphere and storytelling still make it essential for fans of survival horror and narrative-driven games.”
