“The 7th Guest Remake adapts the original for modern systems without sacrificing much of what made the game a benchmark in the puzzle-adventure genre. At times, it feels like a direct port of the virtual reality version, but despite this, the experience eventually finds its rhythm, and its strength lies in puzzles that hold the game together and create a strangely addictive experience.”

“For its more affordable price, it certainly becomes a more attractive title for most, and in fact, for those who are more casual fans of the sport itself, it will certainly serve well in the short term. However, for those who are knowledgeable about rosters, teams, and players, some aspects may weigh negatively on this title.”

“Lost in Art: A Miniature Realm is a concise point-and-click puzzle game that takes place in digital recreations of Persian and Ottoman miniatures. The art is desktop-background worthy, the puzzles are varied, novel, and approachable, and the music is historically and culturally appropriate. The extensive in-game glossary offers a treasure trove of knowledge about Anatolian culture.”

“BrokenLore: FOLLOW is a great addition to the horror genre, and a fairly entertaining game, provided you can ignore its flaws that could derail your experience.”

“On one hand, the game has some exceptional presentational qualities, a heartwarming narrative, and interesting combat ideas within the tactical genre. On the other hand, the narrative is a bit unfocused at times and a finicky UI along with some questionable design choices turn what could have been a fun system into a chore.”

“All in all, Cheap Car Repair has a fun premise, but I feel like it doesn’t live up to its full potential. The bootleg repairs and improvisations are great when they actually happen. The main feature of the game feels pretty underutilized outside of some select story missions. Between the janky mechanics and the genuinely unnecessary use of AI, the game definitely has its flaws. Still, the fun quests and quirky story missions can give you a decent few hours of gameplay. Just don’t expect it to keep you hooked forever. Overall, I am giving Cheap Car Repair the Thumb Culture Silver Award.”

“Those of you who are here for a good time and not for a long time will probably enjoy Midnight Swamp. It does all the basics pretty well and any point-and-click adventure fan would enjoy this; that being said, the length felt more akin to a demo and some more ambitious meta-game would have been welcome. A promising platform for Wild Omul to build upon and I, for one, am excited to see what they do next.”

“Kiko's Apple Adventure is a small puzzle adventure built with extreme sincerity, with a very clear identity, but also very little courage where it could have shown it instead.”

“Mina the Hollower has been on many gamers lists for a long time coming and I'm happy to say, it's not bad. It lets you experience "old school hard" gameplay or new age accessible gameplay in hopes of reaching all players. It lets you experience the game in so many ways that fit you which is something I think most games don't allow. Easy recommendation for gamers looking for action adventure through an old school lens.”

“At the end of the day, Escape the Backrooms is just a fantastically fun and scary co-op experience. It's not some highly curated horror with flashy graphics and audio design, nor does it break the wheel in any wild way. But considering you are basically being put in a level with some murderous creature and being asked to avoid it and escape time and time again, Escape the Backrooms manages to keep things impressively fresh.”

“Crashout Crew: Stack, Don't Freak Out competently fulfills its purpose: to deliver a chaotic, fun, and absurd cooperative experience that transforms a simple warehouse into a logistical battlefield. The absence of public matchmaking or open lobbies is a gap that limits the experience's reach and excludes those who don't have friends available for an impromptu session. In solo mode, the game is still fun, but clearly operates below its potential.”

“Map Map - A Game About Maps is an honest proposition that finds its niche by focusing on something few games explore: teaching something real in an organic way, without sacrificing entertainment. It's not a game that will surprise you with its scale or complexity. Its strength lies precisely in the opposite: the simplicity with which it presents genuine mechanics, the lightness of the progression, and the welcoming atmosphere that transforms each island into a small invitation to exploration.”

“After I entered the 3 biome in Scale The Depths, it was becoming a little too repetitive for me. I enjoy fishing games, and the game-play loop isn’t terrible, but it also wasn’t up my alley either. Controls are simple, even more so If you stick to just using the mouse. And each environment adds something a little different. But it became stale too quickly with having to work towards the knife, rod, and hook, etc. I’m giving Scale The Depths, the Thumb Culture Silver Award. It’s okay, just not up my street.”

“The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time is an incredible, unique puzzle game using the skin of a ’90s JRPG to deliver a genre-defying experience that treats the fourth wall like it’s made of plaster. Though it’s short and can have its issues at times, the game is incredibly memorable and worth giving a chance yourself.”

“Overall I found One Move Away to be a fun, interesting but short experience. I enjoyed the potential in the physics, but missed the lack of depth. I think that's why I always kept thinking back to Unpacking and lamenting the differences. If you're looking for a relaxed experience, I recommend One Move Away – particularly after the recent patch. But maybe keep an eye out for a sale on Steam, because I'm not sure the puzzle mechanics and hints at story will offer most players enough depth to feel like it's worth spending the extra hours on.”

“Rose and Locket is a work of art, producing some of the most distinct visual artistry I have seen in recent years. Paired with solid combat that is challenging and rewarding, despite the artistry clashing with player experience at times. This is an adventure full of heart and climactic sequences, equally an awe-inspiring visual piece and a well-tuned action platformer.”
