King of Meat

Release Date: Oct 7, 2025
-0.6

Latest Review

Adrià MA at Cloud Dosage

Nov 15, 2025 | Score 86

“King of Meat is a cooperative party platformer featuring TV satire and one of the most accessible and robust level editors. The fun factor is elevated when playing with friends, transforming dungeons into pure chaos. Still, the platforming mechanics and combat are quite simple, and the solo experience feels notably flat. Its longevity will ultimately depend on the creativity and adoption of the community.”

“Atsu’s journey of revenge may not be totally unique, but it’s incredibly well executed and totally compelling. Not much about the story of Ghost of Tsushima really stuck with me after completing it, but I’m going to remember Ghost of Yotei. It smartly builds on the foundation of its predecessor and comes out as a far stronger overall package. If you remotely enjoyed the last game this is an easy recommendation.”

“It is easy to fall in love at first glance with Lego Party. It is a game that many have unknowingly been waiting for, and its presentation and first impression are on a whole different level. It feels like a perfect match for anyone seeking an exceptional digital party game. However, once the honeymoon phase is over, all the flaws start to appear, and they become too much. Poor controls, extremely small boards, and a mix of mini-games that feel disjointed make this a challenging title to recommend. It has some wonderful ideas and a solid foundation to build upon, but it falls short in executing the details.”

“Quarantine Zone: The Last Check works because it knows how to be calm. It doesn't try to change the genre or have too many features. Instead, it improves a recipe that has already been used and grounds it in atmosphere and responsibility. It's always interesting to check on survivors, make the most of limited resources, and see how small mistakes affect things.”
