“The new Football Manager, now on a new engine, marks a key step for the series. It improves match presentation and visuals while keeping the core gameplay intact. Despite some technical issues and occasionally complex menus, it continues to offer the best football management simulation, focused on realism and long-term decision-making.”

“Inspired by great classics of the past, SKALD isn't just fueled by nostalgia but is a proper good CRPG in its own right, one that fans of the genre should probably consider playing.”

“Though Dream Garden may not feel like a game to someone like myself, it has a solid core. Everything in the game is available right away; without restrictions. No having to unlock or buy things after so much time or effort in advance. It gives the player the creative freedom without jumping any digital hurdles. With that freedom comes the cost of lack of objective or direction. Regardless, Dream Garden is worthy of the Thumb Culture Gold Award.”

“Deathless is an excellent entry point into the roguelike genre for newcomers, but also stands out for veteran fans of the genre. Endless possibilities and a story that keeps you coming back make this worth playing time and time again.”

“I think that the premise was good. A cat-themed cafe is cute. I just think the game didn’t have the right amount of direction to make it stand out. Yes, the finished drinks are adorable, and I think it shows the charm the developers were going for, but that is about it. Once you unlock everything the game has to offer, it’s just grinding to earn all of the achievements, and that takes an unnecessarily long amount of time. That, paired with the amount of quality of life issues I found, this just is not something that I can responsibly say is worth the money. Cats & Cups has earned a 2 out of 5 stars from me. I feel like the game needs more substance, and that would have bumped it up substantially.”

“Tales of Xillia Remastered brings the original to new and returning audiences with welcomed convenience features, even if some classic features are still a bit cumbersome.”

“A brutal, beautiful throwback—if you crave the slow burn of classic survival horror, Flesh Made Fear will consume you in the best possible way.”

“Maize is not without its flaws, but it more than makes up for them with a unique and humorous story. By no means is it the best puzzle game I have ever played, but it is still a good one. This game stands out from other similar games by being funny and so distinctly strange. For the price, it is a game that is well worth picking up if you fancy a quick puzzle game and a few laughs.”

“All jokes aside, Ribbit Ranch was a delightful surprise. A simple idle-collecting concept with clicker features is a great combo for cozy gamers, and using frogs feels obvious yet refreshing. It’s relaxing, fun, and offers tons of content while staying stimulating. For achievement hunters, it’s easier than expected—you don’t need a complete Ribbidex. There’s a demo on Steam if you’re unsure, but I’ll admit: I liked it more than I thought I would!”

“But the story? The story absolutely shines. It’s engrossing, introspective, and often existential. It makes you think. And while it’s not the next Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest, it deserves attention for being a truly unforgettable experience.”

“While there are glimpses of potential for a little more greatness, issues with pacing and a few too many options between runs keep it from being a better experience”

“Asfalia: Panic at the Mansion earns a confident 9.0; a tender, well‑crafted adventure that mostly delivers exactly what it promises: warm writing, delightful hand‑painted art, and family‑friendly puzzles that respect both kids and adults. The game’s emotional core is handled with rare subtlety, voice performances and sound design deepen character moments, and bite‑sized collectibles and optional challenges add replay value without blocking the main story. Controls and QoL features make it an effortless fit for the Switch and handheld play, and recent accessibility updates broaden its appeal.”
