“Thick As Thieves is a solid, low-stakes stealth romp that knows its limits and mostly sticks to them. It won’t revolutionise the genre, but it delivers satisfying sneaking, fun gadgets, and that glorious dopamine hit of a pocket full of stolen goods. The amount of content at launch may be an issue for some, and I do hope we get updates at a decent clip, but for a game that tasks you with stealing, it's ironic that the price tag of a fiver feels like you are stealing from the developers. If you’ve got a friend to team up with, it becomes even more enjoyable, turning potential frustration into shared laughter when your carefully planned heist devolves into chaos.”

“Rune Dice is the kind of indie game that seems simple in the first few minutes, but quickly takes over your mind with extremely addictive builds, strategies, and dice combinations. The mix of roguelike, physics, and skill management works much better than it seems, creating an experience that is hard to put down. If Smart Raven Studio keeps expanding this universe, Rune Dice has everything it takes to build a very loyal fanbase.”

“R-Type Dimensions III faithfully recreates the brutal charm of R-Type III: The Third Lightning with revamped HD visuals, remastered audio, and modern features like co-op play. While the graphical overhaul is impressive, the core gameplay remains heavily rooted in early '90s shooter design, complete with punishing trial-and-error mechanics. Nostalgic players may appreciate its historical authenticity, but newcomers could find it frustratingly archaic despite the added accessibility options.”

“Forza Horizon has been a beloved series for many years, and it’s also one of my personal favorites that has consistently stayed at the top. Especially if you enjoy racing games, this is definitely a game you shouldn’t miss. Because right now, it’s the most refined, most entertaining, and largest racing game you can find on the market. With its pure driving enjoyment, unique Japanese atmosphere, and seemingly endless pool of content, it stands as an undisputed leader.”

“Spellgarden Games are unapologetically forward with their inclusive values, and they welcome in one and all to just enjoy the vibes with them. Thrifty Business feels more like an evolution of the developer’s first game Sticky Business rather than something completely new, but in this case that’s actually a great thing. The sense of community from that debut game is multiplied here by you actually meeting the people you’re selling to and buying from, and you get to feel like an actual part of the community you’re helping to build. If only the real world could be more like the worlds Spellgarden Games build.”

“I found Hotel Architect a little easier to wrap my head around compared to other management sims. I liked making and decorating rooms, although it was tricky to actually get my desired quests. I also struggled to keep the happiness level up for both staff and guests. The hotel does become chaotic rather quickly without having a way to slow down the influx of customers. That is what usually messes up my play-throughs, but that is all part of the fun when it comes to these games. A good thing this game has is zoning, It makes it easier to visualise each section I create. If I could suggest something, maybe more filters on the furniture, so that we can focus on certain customers. It gets tedious having to hover over each item and see who prefers what. It may seem small, but when you try doing a whole refurb to tailor your hotel, it becomes tricky. Hotel Architect’s campaign allows the player to learn more at their own pace. All while not holding your hand so much that you are spoon-fed. Take the start of the game, you get a nice and easy run down, then level two just says “oh yeah you need a bar now.” I did enjoy doing the level objectives. If you are looking for a new sim, then Hotel Architect is a good first choice, so it’s the Thumb Culture Silver Award from me.”

“Whirlight - No Time To Trip offers a delightful experience for old-school fans of the genre, but it’s also true that players who expect absolute logic in puzzles or are used to getting help whenever they get stuck may find it quite challenging.”

“After an incredible ten years of development and six years in Early Access, the space survival simulator has reached its full release. Is it still attractive? Yes! Is it perfectly tuned and flawless? Unfortunately, no.”

“There’s a cool idea at work here, turning the traditional fighting game into a card-based battler, but outside of the novelty it wears a bit thin overall”

“Although Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery borrows a bit too heavily from its competitor Duck Detective, it's still worth checking out for those craving adventure. Judging by the interest in the demo, there's certainly going to be an audience curious about the mystery of the meowseum.”

“Nitro Gen Omega is a stylish tactical RPG with a beautiful art design, a slick UI and amazing animations. However, I can see some players being turned away by having to learn the many combat systems it throws at you, even if it’s fun once you get used to it. Overall, I still think this game is worth your time.”

“Black Jacket successfully transforms blackjack into a deep and replayable roguelike experience, thanks to an intriguing system that never gets boring. The variety of builds, the well-designed progression, and the successful atmosphere make it a solid title that stands out in the genre, albeit with some limitations related to balance and the random element. Overall, it’s a project that definitely deserves attention, and we recommend it to both fans of the genre and fans of risk.”
