Dec 23, 2025 | Score 45

“Few games manage to be frustrating, tense, and oddly endearing in their clumsiness at the same time. If you’re ready to laugh through the pain while struggling to survive, Beneath delivers a uniquely awkward experience. It may not be perfect, but it’s bizarre enough to be remembered - for better or, more likely, for worse.”

“Cute and quirky definitely describe Hoomanz!, but they also sum up its biggest limitation. I love the concept behind it all, but found myself losing interest in the gameplay after just a couple of levels. The developers wanted to keep it simple and casual so anyone can play, and it does nail that. But the best kinds of simple games also offer some hidden depth or clever hook to keep you playing — and that’s what Hoomanz! is missing. In a way, it’s a mercy that Hoomanz! is short — by the time its charm wears off, the credits are rolling.”

“MotionRec is a game that lives and dies on its gameplay mechanics. The concept of being able to record and replay your movements never gets old, partly thanks to the introduction of new gimmicks you encounter throughout your journey. While the game lacks a recognizable soundtrack, memorable levels, and an intriguing narrative, the charming visual style and exciting gameplay more than make up for it. If you're looking for a charming and short puzzle platformer, then MotionRec is definitely worth your time.”

“Escape Simulator 2 is a masterclass in digital puzzle design, refining its predecessor's tactile joy into a more sophisticated and visually stunning experience. With significantly improved physics, ingenious room layouts, and the powerhouse that is Room Editor 2.0, it offers an endless playground for solo thinkers and co-op teams alike. While occasional physics hiccups and sharp difficulty spikes remain, it stands as the definitive first-person escape room simulator on the market.”

“More Sushi! knows exactly what it wants to be, and it doesn’t pretend otherwise. It’s small, silly, and strangely addictive, the kind of game you open “just for five minutes” and then somehow keep around for much longer than planned. It isn’t deep, it isn’t ambitious, and it isn’t meant to be; it’s simply a fun way to zone out and make a growing pile of cartoon sushi. For the low price, the gentle pacing, and the easygoing loop, I walked away enjoying it more than expected. It absolutely gets the job done.”

Whether you’re solving puzzles, naming your 27th pigeon “Kevin,” or just sitting quietly watching the world go by, it’s the kind of game that makes you smile. If you’re looking for something laid-back but full of personality, The Bench absolutely deserves a spot on your wishlist. It’s a small game with a big heart, and a lot of pigeons.”

“In the end, Yuki is a nice bullet hell shooter for VR. The premise helps the campaign mode make sense, and the use of VR works quite well despite being an on-rails experience. The roguelike nature might throw off some players, especially since some of that genre's more recognizable features seem absent, and the amount of repetition needed to reach the game's real ending might not be for everyone. Shooter fans who don't mind a more playful experience will really enjoy Yuki.”
