Cody Medellin at Worth Playing

Feb 8, 2022 | Score 80 | Pre-release Review

“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.”

“Hidden Cats in Spooky Village it’s a hidden object game that fulfils genre expectations while avoiding mere basics; it uses a formula that’s more engaging than average. The series’ consistent release schedule without quality loss is also praiseworthy, especially since the games don’t take long to complete. A great addition to your Steam library and a source of new achievements, this game is a fine title for anyone who wants to spend a few hours searching for cats.”

“​It could just be a personal preference thing but I would have enjoyed the game a lot more if it was more of an arena shooter in the vein of Serious Sam rather than a Survivors-like style game, don’t get me wrong it is fun in small doses but lacks a serious bite to keep you invested for longer sessions, visuals and audio hit hard and the low asking price is enough to entice gamers in, you just need to know what you’re getting in to.”

The DLC adds an extra layer of challenge to the game's standard, and its content is robust and valuable, expanding and complementing this rich, innovative, and intriguing universe that deserves to be explored.”

For players who enjoy strategy distilled into pure design logic, it is a compelling proposition. The depth of its simulation, combined with its understated presentation, make it both an engaging and oddly calming experience.

Dec 31, 2025 | Score 100

“The Jackbox games consistently shine when played with friends who understand each other’s humor and social boundaries. The experience improves significantly when players are comfortable engaging openly, or teasing each other intentionally. Party Pack 11 reinforces Jackbox’s strengths and maintains the series’ high standards. The writing remains sharp, host performances are lively, and the overall presentation reinforces the sense of a curated game night rather than a loose bundle of minigames. Ultimately, The Jackbox Party Pack 11 is a satisfying entry, one that offers fresh content for veterans of the series while remaining accessible to newcomers. It confidently reinforces why Jackbox remains the go-to choice for laughter-filled game nights.”

“The Lonesome Guild, which is slow-paced, sentimental, and based on poignant storytelling, perfectly captures the cozy RPG vibe. However, it struggles to strike a balance between warmth and depth. The idea of loneliness as an antagonist in the story is fascinating, but the writing and pacing fail to keep the reader engaged. Although useful, combat is simple and unchallenging, and the relationship system never reaches its full potential.”

“Godbreakers is a high-octane, chaotic joyride that perfectly blends fast-paced action with the strategic depth of a roguelite. Its core mechanic of stealing divine powers and chaining them into devastating combos offers immense player expression. While the screen can become a bewildering mess of effects in 4-player co-op and the environmental variety wears thin over time, the pure 'pick-up-and-play' appeal makes it a fantastic addition to any co-op library. It’s hectic, rewarding, and undeniably fun.”

Some players may lament the same old shop mechanics and loss of the pixel art visuals, but I love the new 3D stylings, which fills the world with a warmth and softness that emphasises the game’s cosiness perfectly. Fans of the original Moonlighter should rush to play the sequel (even in Early Access), and I’d encourage new players to take this one to the counter and see what all the fuss is about.”
