“It’s not exactly philosophy with horsepower, but it’s got enough steam to keep you entertained. Choo-choo-se this one if you like bad train puns, quick minigames, and watching thought experiments get crushed under steel wheels.”

“Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush is a beautiful and nostalgic piece of DLC, but one with fun that is short-lived and offers little depth to the 10/10 masterpiece that is the base game. Only the biggest of Bananza fans will find their money’s worth in this inessential experience.”

“There's not a whole lot wrong with Storm Lancers, but it really struggles to hang with its peers thanks to a lack of randomness and just okay combat.”

“Ultimately, Sips and Sonnets is less about mechanics than mood. It asks players to slow down, to serve tea not just as a transaction but as a gesture of care, and to write poetry not for competition but for connection. It offers a gentle reminder that storytelling can be intimate and local, that games can find profundity in the everyday. If its final release matches the promise of its demo and previews, Sips and Sonnets may well become a small but memorable entry in the canon of cozy visual novels, a game best enjoyed with a warm cup of tea in hand. A quiet narrative that is the antidote to over-stimulation.”

“Gloomy Eyes is a visually striking and atmospheric game featuring two cooperating characters and clever puzzles. Its story of outsiders finding their place in the world is charming and emotionally engaging, enhanced by Tim Burton'inspired design and music. However, technical issues and frequent bugs disrupt the experience, especially given the game's short length.”

“The Devil is in the Details blends eerie design with anomaly spotting and hidden puzzles, offering freedom of play and tons of scares and variety for replay, though not every trick lands.”

“Dinotica splits your time between two distinct environments: your home base and the outer world of Dinotica. Your home base acts as a hub for crafting, resource management, and preparing for adventures, while Dinotica is where the actual exploration happens. A land filled with dinosaurs, enemies, mysteries and loot. There’s a good balance between building and maintaining your base and venturing into the unknown. ...the downside is that the system is a little too basic. Crafting often comes down to just gathering the right number of raw materials – need fibre? Collect x amount and you’re set. While functional, it feels like the game could have benefited from an extra layer of resource management or complexity. Like requiring players to spin fibre into rope or string before using it for some recipes. It’s enjoyable for what it is, but players who love deep crafting systems may find it a bit barebones.”

“With ICE-Q 2.0 at its core, NHL 26 delivers smarter AI, more authentic skating, and a Be A Pro mode that finally feels meaningful. While a few visual shortcomings remain, the combination of realism, depth, and pure hockey excitement makes this one of the best entries in the series’ modern era.”

“All in all, if you are a fan of the basics of the series, this is very much more of the same with a few tweaks. The music may click with a lot of folks, and perhaps there are some that will relish the sheer amount of items and loadouts that you can wangle, but whilst there are thousand of weapons and a huge open world to explore, I can’t help but feel that this is quantity over quality in some areas.”

“There's a lot to like about Bananitro and it would be good to see more in the future. The components are all there, but the execution falters at times, resulting in an experience which regularly swings from being good fun, to feeling like a chore.”

“The initial concept of Dead Reset envisioned a choice system with far-reaching and partially irreversible consequences, even after «resetting». In practice, the game turns out to be an overly linear FMV adventure, the outcome of which feels predetermined.”

“Machick 2 doesn’t reinvent the Bullet Heaven genre, but it adds its own charm—whether through weapon customization, humor, or diverse content. It’s a fun, light-hearted experience that isn’t shallow, and if you enjoy this type of game, you’ll have a great time and challenge yourself for hours.”

“Sure, it can get rather hectic at times, but that’s the nature of the beast, after all. Yes, it can take a bit to learn all of its elements and figure out how to create an excellent build. But once you do, you’ll become unstoppable, as you rush through enemies. Shape of Dreams feels very satisfying to play, there’s never a dull moment, and you’ll always feel the itch for one more run.”

“Garfield Kart 2 is a fun kart racer, in some ways better than its predecessor – but everything it does better is because it shamelessly copied another, much better game. With so many quality mascot kart racers out there, you can probably opt for something a little more remarkable.”

“For an hour-long experience, the main thing I took away from The Search were cheap puzzle mechanics and quotes by American lecturer Joseph Campbell. If the game's main themes were not as openly sermonising, then I could see the narrative being less tedious and players would get more out of it. But sadly, the extent of the story would have been much better suited as an essay, short film, or poem.”

“Road to Empress I is a well-made FMV game that knows exactly what it wants to be. It’s a palace drama with betrayal, ambition, and perpetual danger that comes to life through great acting and high production qualities. The option structure can sometimes feel limiting and unjust, but the story is still interesting enough to keep you going, even when you die a lot.”

“Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra is Bandai Namco's answer to the stagnation of the MOBA genre, a title that forgoes the extreme complexity typical of League of Legends and Dota 2 in favor of a more immediate, dynamic, and accessible approach.”
