Jo Hawley at Minimap

Dec 19, 2025 | Score 80

“Rather than chasing difficulty or mechanical complexity, it invites players into a gentle, emotionally resonant journey—one defined by love, memory, and the quiet heroism of loyalty. It’s an experience that lingers not because of what it demands from the player, but because of what it asks them to feel.”

Nov 14, 2025 | Score 85

“Lone Fungus: Melody of Spores is a Metroidvania that packs a lot of content and secrets into a very well-planned adventure. The art direction and the brevity of the ten-hour campaign aren't impressive, but they don't detract from the elegance of this greatly designed world and the wealth of quality-of-life options it offers.”

“Anima: Gate of Memories I&II Remaster is an experience that navigates the line between charm and flaw, a narrative woven with diverse archetypes, gameplay marked by both strengths and weaknesses, and audiovisual elements that are commendable overall, though not without imperfections. This collection resonates with an audience willing to overlook technical and design shortcomings in exchange for its rich narrative depth and immersive fantasy world, a journey worth the patience.”

“Honestly, my experience thus far with Skopje ’83 has been tedious, at best. My confusion trying to find any type of gear pick up, and lack of any direction, led to time looting sparse areas when I should have been trying to explore as much as possible. I don’t expect games to hold my hand, but some indication of where items and gear improvements could be found would have been helpful. For many reasons, Skopje ’83 is getting the Thumb Culture Bronze Award.”

“I Hate This Place has a killer aesthetic and some excellent survival-horror instincts, especially when sound, stealth, and night pressure align. But... rough storytelling, clunky usability, and underfed progression keep it from becoming the cohesive comic-horror it so clearly wants to be.”

Nov 6, 2025 | Score 80

““It Takes a War” achieves in less than an hour what most blockbusters fail to achieve in hundreds of hours. It moves something inside me. Using Counter Strike 1.6 as a backdrop for a larger narrative is daring, but it works brilliantly. Breaking out of the level means facing your own fears and confronting reality. This balancing act between virtual familiarity and a place beyond your comfort zone makes “It Takes a War” an experience that lingers long after, like the shot from an AWP.”

“While I understand at the end of the day this is a kid’s game, the all around simplicity really shows this is a much “younger” game than a lot of previous Hello Kitty games. I had fun playing Freeze Tag Party when there were missions and challenges to do, but just playing the game as it is, isn’t exactly the most fun I have had with the Sanrio characters.”

I didn't feel there were major improvements from the Switch 2 version to the original Switch version, although it is smoother and has very fast loading times. For those who like to play with family or friends at home, it's an excellent choice, and it's also possible to take advantage of GameShare if you have friends with Switch 2s who live far away.”
