“It took me a couple hours to fully understand and appreciate the vision behind Fright Train and how to excel within its gameplay loop, but once I did, it all clicked and I felt myself having a really fun time within its cold cabin confines. Though the onboarding process may be a bit jarring, once Fright Train starts chugging along, its momentum of engaging combat, storytelling, and progression makes it hard to stop playing.”

“Train Sim World 7 delivers an impressively realistic railway experience with detailed routes, authentic train handling and dynamic weather effects. Its accessible learning curve makes it welcoming to newcomers, although sudden performance drops, an awkward camera and limited-impact new features keep it from reaching its full potential.”

“Aniimo is a seriously impressive creature collecting game, with a sprawling world, so much content, and the ability to turn into monsters.”

“Marvel’s Wolverine is a streamlined, relentlessly brutal action game that captures the tone of Marvel’s angriest (and most brutal) mutant perfectly. Sure, the story fumbles its landing a little bit and the level design can feel overly restrictive, but the core act of popping those claws and tearing through a room of baddies is practically flawless. It doesn’t quite reach the heights of Marvel’s Spider-Man, but there really is a whole lot to love here. Fingers crossed, Insomniac Games spend a bit more time in this universe, because I really feel like they’re just starting to scratch the surface of something special with Marvel’s Wolverine.”

“You'll even need to have air freshener on hand for guests who smell bad. It is a very self aware game which gives it a lot of charm. If you've ever wondered why the eShop is so full of identical clones of this game, you owe it to yourself to try the original.”

“Forsaken Kingdom is a fun, surprising, and well-crafted addition to WarCraft III that simply wasn’t quite finished on release, and still isn’t at the time of writing.”

“For gamers who want to build a business from the ground up, go from everyday store busywork and working their way up to a business mogul, this might be one to set up shop with. For me, I thrive on pressure and chaos, and either I was a really good manager, or Sporting Goods Shop needed to give me more to do to really step up to the plate.”

“DIG Raiders: Anomaly Extraction is a game but not one I can fully back or recommend anyone to honestly. With the previous projects that Soda Game Studio game, has mixed reviews stating that the game is unfinished. So, I cannot in good conscience say this game is worth the buy. But, you’re all your own person and you have free will to do what you want. Unlike the aliens in this game who get their freedom and tech taken away for our entertainment. I give DIG Raiders: Anomaly Extraction the Thumb Culture Bronze Award”

“NHL 27 delivers a solid and accessible hockey experience, but its overall evolution feels too timid for a new installment. The return of Connected Franchise and the addition of cross-platform roster sharing are welcome, while improvements to presentation and HUT add some interesting touches. However, the team-specific strategies lack depth, Connected Franchise is more limited than a traditional Franchise mode, and several technical issues from last year remain.”

“HexaDome Tactics has a very solid gameplay loop with a core cast that is compelling both visually and gameplay wise but lacks the massive amount of customization and content that is expected in the tactics genre, but if you enjoy the setting and multiplayer tactics then this could be a worthwhile experience.”

“Dumb Ways to Build is a fun little title and a great way to kill time with friends. Chaos will surely ensue, and you'll have plenty of laughs along the way, but solo players will be left in the dark. It is easy to recommend to those who have others to play with, but everyone else might want to pass on this one.”

“Forsworn is a solid blend of cRPG combat combined with the speed and cadence of a roguelike. The game doesn't pretend to be anything revolutionary, instead being an interesting option for players looking for cRPG combat in shorter, faster gameplay loops rather than the slower pace of most RPG titles.”

“Sunken Engine is a solid simulator with a Lovecraftian-inspired story that doesn't quite shine as brightly as it could, turning the experience into a constant race against the coming night.”

“Fuyukuru. - Winter winds, adieu? - is an at times bizarre visual novel, but one that works perfectly within the framework of its own world’s logic. Everything connects together well, and the story is told in an engaging way with multiple points of view and hints slowly revealed throughout the murder mystery portion of the story. However, it does suffer from some pacing issues. It certainly isn’t a title for everyone, especially given some of the niche sexual content and the inherent oddities of denpa stories in general. But for those who can look past that, there is a very interesting story to discover here.”

“HimaNatsu: Of Churches, Sunflowers, and Long Summers is a nakige that makes use of summer imagery to tell a story about the inevitability of change as a part of our lives. Clamoring for one more unforgettable summer, they end up rediscovering themselves in each other as they face both their shared pasts and what prevents them from moving forward. But just like how summer ends and flowers wilt, their tribulations come and go. Will they wait for a better time, or will they have to move now? There’s no one answer for their respective journeys, but they can at least pray for each other’s happiness. Despite the overall cohesiveness of its themes, there are some nitpicks that feel a bit off-putting given its typing as a nakige. Missed opportunities for story momentum, oddly placed adult content, and rushed pacing are only some of these, but they’re mostly minor grievances. At the end of the day, while there are feelings of inconsistency between parts of the game due to its collaborative nature, it boasts consistent messaging that’s sure to thaw even frozen hearts. With great visuals, an impressive musical track list, and a relaxing atmosphere, HimaNatsu is a feel-good romance story you should definitely give a try. Who knows, maybe you’ll be able to rediscover yourself through them this summer as well.”

“Hot Wheels Infinite Rush stands out as an incredibly fun and accessible take on the open world racing genre that’s oozing with that Hot Wheels toy car charm. The world is packed to the brim with cool tasks to complete, there are a ton of cars to unlock, progression feels rewarding, and the world is gorgeous… what more could you want? Sure, the move to an open world does see the game world itself lose some of the charm of the miniature nature of the Hot Wheels Unleashed series and some of the load times were irritating, but given how successful the transition has been from a gameplay perspective (and how good it feels to race across), it’s easy to forgive.”

“The Alighieri Circle: Dante’s Bloodline is a fascinating tribute to the Italian poet, offering an original take on the descent into Hell through striking art direction, well-designed puzzles, and excellent Italian voice acting. Unfortunately, an unengaging story, excessive downtime, and beautiful yet sterile environments hold it back. Still, it’s an intriguing Italian production for walking simulator and puzzle fans.”
