“Helix: Descent N Ascent is a confident and creative puzzle adventure. Its mysterious story, beautiful monochrome presentation, and inventive ability system all work together to create something memorable. The game gives you a strange world, a collection of unique powers, and the freedom to figure things out yourself. The ability combinations are smart, the puzzles are satisfying, and the overall presentation makes every moment feel carefully crafted. Helix: Descent N Ascent is one of the more unique puzzle games of the year and a great example of how strong art direction and creative mechanics can come together to create something special.”

“Gurei is tough to recommend to a wide audience but the specific folks who can appreciate its brutal challenge and unique structure will definitely love it a lot. Throw in striking visuals and some secrets scattered about and you have one memorable action-packed game. 🗡️”

“High Times delivers exactly what players are expecting based on the title. Plenty of donuts get cooked, then iced, and potentially sprinkled. Because of the mysterious mood-altering ingredients used by The Hotbox, all of them have the power to help customers have a better day or deal with a particular situation.”

“DragonSword: Awakening lands at a strange moment for the hobby, between console makers acting like the villain of the story and physical media getting phased out one release at a time. It’s genuinely nice to see something take a normally predatory genre, strip out the predatory part, and sell the rest for thirty dollars. It’s not without its seams.”

“Disgaea Mayhem has plenty of nifty aspects going for it such as its cute and colourful visuals and familiar systems that are well incorporated in the new action formula. At the same time, the combat is just so simple and repetitive and I wish there was much more to it. 🐧”

“Dinoblade is a remarkable example of how an idea that started as a bit of fun can turn into a tangible and entertaining product. Jean has managed to craft a solid and satisfying game, albeit one with quite a few rough edges. Overall, this is an imperfect but charismatic debut, recommended for anyone looking for a pure, visceral action experience without too many plot pretensions.”

“Splatoon Raiders shines when it mixes the spirit of Salmon Run with action RPG progression, co-op support and a constant hunt for better loot. It does not need a complex story to hook you, because its pace, challenge and technical polish work extremely well.”

“Pass the Fear has some good moments tucked beneath some lackluster design choices, suffering from rapid and disorienting balance changes that bring the game from disappointingly slow and easy to obnoxiously bullet-sponge-focused. While you can certainly find some joy in this game, I find it hard to recommend it alongside some other, similar titles in the genre.”

“Reap and Rush was a great game, and a fun time. It does a great job at taking the action roguelite experience into a mythical world that was rather unexpected for me to explore.”

“Rubinite is a tense, stylish boss rush built around a genuinely clever focus mechanic. A slow start, but the fights, art, and score come together to make it a standout indie experience.”

“Lifted brings together the joy of watching your favorite movie with a simple platformer, and I had a blast playing it. There were a lot of cutscenes that gave the enjoyment of watching a movie, so they didn’t distract from the gameplay. The gameplay itself was simple, but well done for the most part and made the journey enjoyable. While I do wish the game was a little bit longer, I have found that going back for the collectibles feels worth it. While the puzzles weren’t challenging, finding the collectibles can be, and earning the new outfits feels like an achievement. Overall, Lifted focuses on bringing joy to the player. Nothing’s so hard as to cause frustration, and the wackiness of the story kept me smiling for the whole playthrough. If you’re looking for a fun, enjoyable couple of hours, I’d suggest Lifted.”

“Shift At Midnight turns out to be a delightful surprise, full of personality, capable of taking the anxieties of working with the public and transforming them into a fascinating nightmare. The idea of blending the routine of a management sim with a detective investigation works wonders, creating an anxiety-inducing gameplay loop that reaches its peak in the excellent environmental storytelling. It’s a real shame that the game stumbles just when it decides to flex its muscles, offering shooter sequences and stealth mechanics that don’t measure up to the rest of the game. However, setting aside a clunky combat system and an infinite mode that’s still a work in progress, the nocturnal odyssey crafted by the developers is absolutely worth experiencing, especially when played in co-op. A little gem where the real fear isn’t dying, but receiving a one-star review from a shapeshifter.”

“For 20€, Fading Echo offers a rhythmic adventure, punctuated by phases of puzzles featuring multiverses and elements, a demo must always be available if you want to get an idea before going to save Corel. A few frustrating and redundant moments in this adventure around 8 hours while struggling a little or looking for all the pots at XP.”

“Dive or Die: Children of Rain blends survival, resource management and Lovecraftian horror into a tense underwater loop where every descent forces you to balance oxygen, risk and reward. Its difficulty can be intimidating, but the decision-making is highly addictive.”

“At first glance, the Scarlet Deer Inn may seem deceptive, but ultimately it offers a raw and unforgettable experience. Attu Games have woven a piece of their heart into every stitch, a heart that beats just as wildly in the sun-drenched village as it does in the darkest underground passages. Eliška’s relentless struggle to save her family shows that the greatest courage is often born of sheer desperation. An uncompromising darkness pulls the strings of fate, but it is worth descending into its jaws. The ballad has faded, the torch has gone out, yet the restlessness in the soul remains.”

“Cat Isle is a cosy management sim where you get to run a small island filled with shops for a rotating cast of cute cats. It mixes supply-and-demand gameplay with cute visuals and enough details to win over any cat lover.”
