“Prison Boss Prohibition is a near‑perfect example of what VR can do when a clever concept meets tactile design and social play. The core loop; pouring, rolling, and hustling under pressure; feels physically satisfying and consistently generates laugh‑out‑loud moments, especially in co‑op where emergent chaos becomes the game’s best feature. Progression systems, unlocks, and leaderboards give runs real purpose, while New Yolk City’s bright, absurd tone and customization options add personality and replay value.”

“BAD END THEATER is an enjoyable stint of being able to choose the dilemmas your cast of characters face and then watching them die a bloody death. It’s an amusing choose-your-adventure sort of game with a bit more than that once you explore what this theatre has to offer, even if it isn’t quite subtle about certain aspects of its venue. Perfect for the sadist in you and even the hopeful. ∎”

“Overall, with that one odd exception, Fiz and the Rainbow Planet is a great example of a snack video game that’ll be a fun jaunt for fans of pixel art and platformers. The cohesion is solid, I enjoyed how the characters interacted, and nothing particularly crazy happened with play or controls.”

“Return to Ash is a quiet triumph. It’s not flashy. It doesn’t demand much of your time. But it leaves a mark. Like waking from a vivid dream, you’ll carry bits of it with you. Maybe it’s a line of dialogue. Maybe it’s the moment you chose kindness. Maybe it’s just that soft feeling of being seen. Serenity Forge has delivered something beautifully self-contained. For anyone in need of a reflective, emotionally resonant visual novel, Return to Ash is worth the journey.”

“Its easygoing nature suggests a straightforward tale, but has plenty to dig into if you’re willing to follow its many threads.”

“Islanders: New Shores is a wholesome experience that offers much depth for those who want it. No matter what mode or how much effort, the player ends up with a beautiful island full of charming little buildings, each placed with care. After a while, new islands feel like empty canvases, ready to be painted on with lovely tiny buildings. There is something exciting about preparing a spot for a building and then seeing the points rake in. Designing a city may never have been so fun, relaxing and pretty.”

“In The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature expansion pack, you'll grow wings and experience what the world looks like from a mischievous fairy's perspective. The best things were the fairy-like clothes and the natural life skills, but the new area Innisgreen was a bit lacking.”

“EA Sports College Football 26 is a fantastic university football game, and arguably the best American football simulation available today.

With improved gameplay, especially on defense, and exceptional immersion, it's a top-tier product for all fans of the sport.”

“There’s no denying how many hours it’s possible to sink into College Craze, even in its current state of development. With its newly added gallery feature, you can see how much material you have yet to find — including 109 CGs (not including multiple variations in some cases) — plus the sheer number of choices throughout provide a variety of outcomes from even the most seemingly throwaway of selections. College Craze already surprises me by being free in its current state.”

“13AM Games and Mighty Yell took a bold swing at reinventing Missile Command — and they pulled it off. Both sides of the game — the turn-based strategy mechanics and the visual novel storytelling — are executed really well. Maybe too well, because at times they end up competing for my attention. Fans of visual novels with meaningful choices and a gripping mystery will be drawn in by the story, but may find the Missile Command scenarios a bit tedious. On the flip side, players excited about the strategic gameplay might be less enthusiastic about the slower narrative beats. But for those who appreciate both? Missile Command Delta offers a unique and compelling experience that’s worth seeing through to the end.”

“Somber Echoes is a good metroidvania with a great movement system. The combat is simple and the story is weak, but it's worth checking out if you're looking for games in the genre.”

“Where many games opt to host depressing narratives to appeal to their young adult audience, Blue Archive instead plays itself straight—keeping an upbeat vibe with a touch of comic mischief while not being afraid to touch on the “what-ifs” if things all went wrong. It’s easy to pick up and play and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“Overall, the game still feels like a mobile game, but it is visually pleasing and has done a good job of crossing over to PC Gaming. Not groundbreaking, but it scratches the gaming itch. It’s a short title, but completionists will have satisfaction or frustration from replaying levels to get all trophies and stars. Could have done a lot more to move away from the mobile feel.”

“Mecha Break delivers what it sets out to do with a sweet entry point into a Hero Shooter. With the potential to continue its dominance with more strikers and modes, for what Mecha Break provides is addicting all on its' own from the start. While some hurdles can be avoided, such as microtransactions, the rest of the action is smooth enough to set a path for a bright future.”

“While this collection doesn’t have a marquee title to boast, the games included here are definitely fun. I enjoyed revisiting these as well as playing something I had missed when it came out. I love these old collections and hope we continue to see more of them. Bring on Volume 4 and let’s get even weirder with it.”

“There really isn’t much more to say about Tamagotchi Plaza. It feels like a throwback to the cheap cash-grab minigame collections of the Wii era—a game trying to skate by on name recognition and little else. Who needs fun when you have a Tamagotchi, right?”
