“Noctuary is a visual novel with a touch of action RPG that shines primarily through its story, art, and atmosphere. It’s ideal for patient players, fans of deep narratives, and anyone who enjoys that charming anime-style flair. Despite minor technical limitations on the Switch, the game delivers a memorable and engaging experience.”

“Weirdly, it’s not hard to imagine a world where Morgan: Metal Detective didn’t devolve into an endless trip of scanning and digging – it just would’ve taken a few less random items to come across, and you would’ve had a cute, relaxing game with fun characters and pleasant visuals. As it stands, though, anyone who picks it up hoping for a cozy respite will probably come to regret it.”

“Utilizing a healthy dose of Balatro-like elements to boost your scoring power as you guide your bird along a roguelike migration path to reach their final destination, Birdigo excels at providing a simple game concept with satisfying scoring devices and a “one more round” addictiveness that makes it hard to put down.”

“Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance: Uprising expands the base game with two very solid campaigns, deeper strategy, fresh perspectives, and enough metal to forgive the future.”

“While The Qubit Factory is not for me, it could be perfect for you. If you enjoy these kinds of programming-style games, The Qubit Factory is a good game to choose. It’s free, it’s by an indie developer, and it has a simple premise that leads to great puzzles. I really liked my brief time with The Qubit Factory, and those with the correct kind of brain would probably really enjoy this one.”

“Fans of the golden age of beat 'em ups (yup, that’s the '90s, alright!) are advised to try out Maiden Cops - the more than decent indie homage to the genre. It doesn’t really have enough to convince those who aren’t into brawlers and its “waifu” aesthetic might even deter those who are. If you don’t mind playing as a cute and curvy anime girl (and one not entirely human), Maiden Cops can actually offer plenty of fun.”

“Grounded 2 builds on the first game with a larger map, faster travel, and smarter tools that make survival more streamlined. Brookhollow Park feels alive with new creatures and biomes, while buggies and the Omni-Tool keep you moving and gathering without the grind. The story is clearer, and mutations give you more ways to play. Early Access bugs are there, but the improvements already make this a stronger, more focused sequel.”

“For a game priced at $6.99 USD, Achilles: Survivor absolutely offers some lightweight fun. There's a generous roster of characters, a serviceable progression system, and a clever idea in its structure-building mechanics. Combined with run-based auto-combat, it can be a pleasant enough background game, something to play while listening to a podcast or unwinding for a few minutes. But as a full package, it struggles. The grind sets in too quickly, the objectives often feel arbitrarily punishing, and the presentation leans heavily toward bland. Its mythological theme could've elevated the entire experience, yet it never meaningfully interacts with the gameplay. On Switch specifically, the performance hiccups hold the game back even more. Achilles: Survivor isn't a disaster, but it's also far from realizing the potential of its concept. If you're curious about Greek mythology or want a low-cost survivor-like with a small twist, you might find a few hours of entertainment here. If you're on the fence, though, you're probably better off choosing a more polished entry in the genre.”

“Filled with likable characters and a silly magical school storyline, there's a lot to like about Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy.”

“Playing Day of the Shell is super-exciting at first but after an hour or so, you'll start to realise that it's quite shallow despite its cleverness. 🔫”

“Tales of the Shire is a Hobbit lifestyle cozy game Tolkien would be proud of and WETA Workshop clearly loved. Hardcore gamers may be confused by the seemingly inane life of Hobbits, also its limited presentation aspects. Still, if you're a Lord of the Rings fan wanting something truly different, this is a welcome change of pace. Note I experienced zero performance/glitch issues on the PS5 Pro (as other platforms weren't so lucky).”

“If you’re looking for something action-packed or traditionally scary, this isn’t it. But if you like games that feel like falling into a dark, ancient fairytale, something strange, cerebral, and a little off-kilter, then there’s a lot here to love.”

“Seethingswarm's Metroidvania stands out for offering an adventure with survival mechanics, charming pixel art, and an emotional story that dispenses with dialogue. It's a great addition to the genre's catalog. It's a game that relies on its atmosphere, gameplay, and dialogue-free narrative, resulting in a thoroughly entertaining experience made with an obvious love for the craft.”

“Futamata Ren'ai: Two Times the Trouble starts strong with an amusing premise, heroines with unique personalities, plenty of comedy, and an interesting if minimal plot hidden in the background to reveal. It does however start to fall down when it comes to romance or developments beyond the common route. It's worth giving it a read, but much like the other ASa Project titles, it looks great when it comes to visuals, but the balance and style of comedy won't be to everyone's tastes.”

“Wild Hearts S’ Karakuri system is intricately and excitingly crafted with player experimentation abound. The Giant Kenomo feature breathtaking designs to rival Monster Hunter’s creatures in complexity and ferocity, especially from the art portraits each Kemono has in the game’s Cyclopedia. If you’ve done everything there is to do in Monster Hunter Wilds and are looking to dive into an exclusive on Nintendo Switch 2 with mates, Wild Hearts S delivers a tough challenge for experienced monster hunters.”

“Death Relives is a solid choice for those looking for a short, atmospheric horror game with an Aztec twist. It has mood and character, but also, unfortunately quite a few flaws. Still, if you’re a fan of horrors, it plays quite decently, as long as you can forgive its many rough edges and untapped potential. It’s clear the developers ran out of money or time. Or both.”

“No Sleep For Kaname Date becomes a rewarding and engaging experience once you settle into its rhythm. The puzzles feel satisfying, the story pulls you in, and the mix of investigation, escape rooms, and exploration creates a memorable journey. It takes time to get your head around, but when it clicks, it delivers a strong and immersive adventure that keeps you wanting to see what comes next.”

“Endzone 2 is an ambitious management game, which tries to expand the formula of the first chapter with more settlements, mechanics and logistics, but which often barely mentions them in a repetitive system.”

“I had an entertaining time with Let Them Trade, even though the game currently has its limitations. The endgame is reached quickly and the motivation to continue playing noticeably wanes. The campaign is usually only played once, and even though different cards and the card editor provide variety, the gameplay lacks the necessary depth in the long run. A multiplayer mode in particular could add enormous value here, allowing players to trade together, support each other, or compete for points. Nevertheless, Let Them Trade impresses with some charming details: the soundtrack is varied and picturesque, even if it doesn't seem to be orchestrated, and the idea that the soundtrack blares from the radio on the windowsill when you zoom out is simply brilliant and shows attention to detail. A little more medieval language would certainly have added to the flair, but this is compensated for by little details such as the cat, which you can even stroke. Overall, Let Them Trade remains a solid building and trading game with great potential that still has room for further development.”
