EDENS ZERO

Latest Review

Cody Medellin at Worth Playing

Sep 2, 2025 | Score 55

“Edens Zero really is a game made for existing fans, specifically those who aren't too picky about their gameplay. The combat is serviceable enough to provide button-mashers with some fun, and the open world gives the game some legs once the story section has been completed. For those new to the series, the rushed and initially convoluted storytelling provides a terrible first impression, while the gameplay's stunted nature makes you wonder why the game was made into an action-RPG title instead of a more straightforward action title. Overall, the game can be decent, but it fares poorly when compared to many other anime-based games on the market.”

“Ready or Not is a gritty, immersive tactical shooter that excels in realism and tension. It’s best experienced with friends, where coordination and chaos create unforgettable moments. While the single player feels more like a training ground, the multiplayer delivers the full thrill. The game’s depth, from loadout customisation to career tracking, offers plenty for strategy fans. But technical issues, frustrating AI, and DLC-locked content may test your patience. If you’re after a serious cop simulator with high stakes and atmospheric gameplay, Ready or Not is worth a shot, just be ready to adapt when things go sideways.”

“Going into Island Robot Farm, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had never played an idle game before, and at first, I wasn’t completely sold – the gameplay felt slow, and I wasn’t sure if just watching progress happen was going to be enough to keep me interested. But the more I played, the more the game opened up. What started as a simple two-bot farming setup gradually evolved into a complex, self-sustaining operation filled with new features, mechanics, and tools to experiment with.”

Jan 3, 2026 | Score 75

“I enjoyed my time with Kaizen: A Factory Story. There’s a good balance between narrative elements and puzzle-solving, making the experience engaging without being exhausting. I did feel frustrated at times, mostly when I couldn’t figure out how to unlock a solution or misunderstood a mechanic, but those moments made the eventual breakthroughs even more satisfying. Watching a once-chaotic production line finally run like clockwork never gets old. As a first-timer in the world of automation games, I think Kaizen is a great entry point. It’s approachable, rewarding, and respectful of your learning curve. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try. If you do, feel free to tell me which product made you rack your brain the hardest before reaching that “aha” moment. And by the way, if any Japanese production company happens to be reading this, don’t hesitate to send me an email. Apparently, I could be a great addition to your team!”

With stylized pixel art, an immersive setting, and creative mechanics, the game stands out for rewarding tactical thinking and perfect execution, turning each level into a bloody and thrilling puzzle.

“Overall, I’d say that Block Factory is just “okay”. The performance issues right from the start were a huge let-down and having to turn the sounds off also wasn’t great for immersion. I also had to restart some levels because of a bug that prevented me from loading into already started maps, which was pretty frustrating. The game can feel very tedious at times. In other similar games, it feels more rewarding to progress, but in this one, you’re just handed more complicated things to tackle with pretty much the same equipment once you reach a certain point. To me, the game is neither here nor there, but also not a complete failure. Ultimately, the game does what it promises, and that’s what matters. If you enjoy simple factory builders, or you like to fiddle with building bricks, you may still want to have a go at it, though I’d suggest getting it on sale, and overall waiting a few updates for them to patch out the stability issues. All that being said, today Block Factory will receive the Thumb Culture Silver Award.”
