“Uncreative and extremely boring, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is a huge disrespect to one of the most important RPG franchises.”

“Painkiller (2025) is a solid, if often flawed, co-op reimagining of a retro shooter that could have, honestly, been called anything else.”

“Ninja Gaiden 4 is a triumphant return for a franchise that has long defined high-intensity action gaming. While its narrative and level design occasionally falter, these shortcomings are far outweighed by a combat system that is fluid, fast, and deeply satisfying. The collaboration between Team Ninja and PlatinumGames pays off in spades, bringing new mechanics like Yakumo’s BloodRaven form and weapon transformations that inject variety and excitement into every encounter. Ultimately, Ninja Gaiden 4 delivers exactly what fans have been hoping for: relentless, skill-based action that honors the series’ legacy while introducing fresh gameplay innovations. It may not redefine storytelling in action games, however, when it comes to pure, exhilarating combat, Ninja Gaiden 4 firmly stakes its claim as a standout entry and a worthy continuation of the legendary franchise.”

“If they had also integrated swimming and flying dinosaurs into a natural park environment, it would have been a perfect 10 for me; still, it ended up being the best dinosaur park game to date and my favorite Management/Tycoon game I’ve ever played.”

“Lessaria: Fantasy Kingdom Sim is a half-successful experiment, a title that shines with ideas but stumbles in execution.”

“Seemingly a high school teaching simulator made by people who may never have gone to a normal high school… and that’s all jank, all the time”

“Simply an odd adventure that doesn’t feel like a cohesive whole as much as a series of things to accomplish”

“Escape the Cradle won’t be for everyone. If you’re the type of player who needs to be fully hands-on, this probably won’t scratch your itch. But if you like the idea of a light roguelite that happily runs in the background while you multitask, this one has a certain addictive charm. With about 4 hours of content (stretched further depending on how you play), it’s an unusual but surprisingly enjoyable little package. I was more drawn in than I expected, and for the right price, I’d say it’s worth giving a shot. At the very least, the free demo makes it easy to test the waters”

“There's a reason a game like ILA: A Frosty Glide has been prominent at events like Wholesome Directs, and it's apparent from the moment you put your hands on it. It's an incredible ambassador for the cozy game movement, enveloping its players in the warm blanket of good movement, lo-fi music, and a self-empowering narrative. If you're looking for a game to get you right into that winter mood, look no further.”

“The Journey Down is an enjoyable adventure title that doesn't break new ground, but it doesn't need to. It's well written, has delightful art and audio, and is everything that an adventure game needs to be. The somewhat weaker first chapter drags down the experience a little, but once you get past that, The Journey Down fires on all cylinders until the end. If you grew up on LucasArts adventure titles, The Journey Down is the game for you.”

“Lumo 2 is a puzzle-heavy metroidvania that’s not for everyone, but if you click with its style, it’s a rewarding ride. It’s a game for particular players who enjoy quirky challenges, retro vibes, and layered puzzle design. The lack of guidance and accessibility might frustrate some, but those who embrace its eccentricity will find a game that’s both nostalgic and inventive.”

“Beyond sandbox mode, there isn’t much here that feels new. Unbox the Room follows a familiar formula that’s been used by many isometric organising games over the past year. It’s a genre that could use a break, and while this game adds its own touch of charm, it doesn’t stray far from what’s been done before.”

“While Kokoro Kitchen is by no means reinventing the genre, with its colorful and cozy visuals and no stress gameplay, it is a pleasant enough game to pass the time if you like farm-to-table restaurant managing games. I don’t usually play a lot of restaurant management games, but I really liked how cozy and stress-free Kokoro Kitchen was, and I spent a lot more time there than in other games.”

“Dreams has delivered another great VR title, as it’s an impressive showcase of what VR action-adventure can be. It’s a combination of great movement, cinematic storytelling, and finely tuned combat. The environments are rich and atmospheric, and the spatial audio pulls you deep into its world. The voice performances bring real emotional weight to the journey. While it’s not the longest game out there, every hour feels purposeful — packed with discovery, danger, and beauty. The intuitive controls and strong sense of momentum make exploration genuinely exhilarating, and the narrative balances mystery with heart. Reach receives the Thumb Culture Gold Award. I really wanted to give the Platinum, but with the bugs and glitches was hard.”

“Escape From Duckov is a pleasant surprise provided you have the patience for it. The focus on solo play for an extraction shooter relieves the game of any obvious griefing from overly ambitious players. The slow progression may irk those looking for constant action, but it also will please those players who appreciate being surprised by tense standoffs that start and end quickly. Even if the concept may have started out as a joke, the game shows that it can take itself seriously and provide an enjoyable experience. Unless you absolutely need native controller support, Escape from Duckov is a game worth checking out if you've always been interested in the extraction shooter concept but want to do so without real people constantly hunting you down.”

“Pokémon Legends Z-A turned out to be a pleasant romp, a delightful return to a part of the game world I hadn’t seen in over a decade, and the chance to learn many new and interesting words in French.”
