“A warm, inventive pixel‑RPG that turns fishing into tactical combat and town restoration. It’s charming, approachable, and packed with personality, but a few pacing and repetition issues keep it from being exceptional.”

“Crude, salacious, yet surprisingly beautiful, SAEKO: Giantess Dating Sim is a fun short story for those who enjoy a fantastical take on dark romance. However, I sometimes wish it would veer a lot more into the themes and ideas it brings up.”

“Islands & Trains is a charming and relaxing experience that offers a slice of calm creativity in a world of high-stress, fast-paced games. While it has its limitations—from a single train to missing quality-of-life features—it still delivers a unique and satisfying sandbox for those looking to unwind. With more polish and expanded features, it has the potential to be a standout title in the cozy gaming niche.”

“If you don’t mind the pacing being similar to the rate at which the paint you’re spraying dries, it’s at least a relaxing clone”

“Projected Dreams is a curious puzzle of light and shadows and it's possible to notice the team's effort in making it so each chapter brought a new gimmick to add variety to the challenges. However, the way the game handles physics and how it limits object control is frustrating and there are many issues that make it not a highlight within the genre.”

“As a roguelike, it can’t quite support the variety expected of the genre. And yet, the core of FromSoftware’s combat is still strong enough that the game is still a blast with friends and so is still somewhat successful at what it sets out to achieve — just don’t expect it to be a big RPG.”

“Scar-Lead Salvation is the perfect example of how NOT to treat the theme of time loops. The narrative turns out to be flat and unstimulating, failing to express the potential of this expedient. The gunplay is repetitive and poorly calibrated, weighing down the shooting phases. The environments lack originality, with rooms that are all the same. The enemies, then, are anonymous and constantly repeat themselves, varying only in color and the weapon they use. The bosses try to break this monotony in some way, but the path to follow to reach them turns out to be tedious, in addition to the fact that they are three in total. Scar-Lead Salvation tries to replicate Returnal, failing miserably.”

“Jump the Track delivers a sharp, stylish, and surprisingly heartfelt visual novel that mixes social satire, absurd humor, and pachinko mechanics to tell the story of a teenager rebelling against a rotten world. Short but packed with impact, the game hooks you with its striking visuals and smart writing.”

“Honestly, although I very much enjoyed it, I think it was let down by the lack of range. It released in the same month as Bugtopia, and whilst the former has over 300 different bug types, Kabuto Park has only 40. Despite its small size and short gameplay, it could’ve easily been rated a little higher if there was only more variety. However, having said that, I still think it’s a steal for the price; it’s such a peaceful, beautiful, and enjoyable experience.”

“Pick Me Pick Me is smart, funny, and completely original. It reinvents the dating sim by throwing in competitive PvP, live AI interactions, and unpredictable sabotage cards. It’s everything you didn’t know you wanted in a party game—until the tokens run out. If the devs shift to a one-time purchase or a more generous free-to-play system, this could be a breakout hit. Until then, it’s a brilliant game in a frustrating wrapper.”

“Overall, even though the game falters a bit in its execution, I can’t help but be in love with its vision. With the state of the world, it’s always nice to engage with art that preaches positivity, optimism, and embracing what makes us different.”

“Ratshaker is very brief. Now there is a slight comfort to this because it is one of the creepier games I’ve played in recent memory and the short run-time does ensure any elevated blood pressure doesn’t remain so for too long. But it's going to take less than an hour to beat regardless of who you are.”

“Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3 has small issues but feels like a fantastic experience for me as a fan of the trilogy. The story, gameplay, and replayability make it the definitive experience of the three fantastic games where you ride a massive tank and blow up villainy.”

“Many indie titles have a formal understanding of retro pixel-bit graphics, chiptune soundtracks, and Metroidvania design, but few of them successfully build a nuanced and complete template around said formula. Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo is one of those rare occasions. For whatever design quibbles may lightly diminish the end result, Pocket Trap has nevertheless crafted one of this year’s best games.”

“Sol Cesto isn’t a game that holds your hand, and it’s not one that immediately shows its best side. The opening hours can feel unforgiving, and I wouldn’t blame anyone for bouncing off it early. But for players willing to stick with it, there’s something very special here. Impressive, still: the game is still only in Early Access. It offers a fresh take on the roguelite formula by stripping controls down to their simplest form and focusing entirely on choice, probability, and consequence. You don’t need fast reactions or complex strategies. You just need the courage to make a decision and accept what follows. This is exactly the kind of experimentation I love seeing from indie developers. Sol Cesto may not be welcoming at first (or ever, depending on how you view it), but once it gets under your skin, it’s very hard to forget.”

“A frustrating case of style over substance, Near-Mage dazzles with its art direction and whimsical Eastern European charm but fails to back it up with compelling storytelling. What begins as something that looks it will turn into a heartfelt journey into a world of wonder, fizzles into a predictable plotline with shallow characters and gameplay that rarely requires more than clicking and walking from A to B. This is undoubtedly a passion project, but passion alone can’t save what can be described as an impressive spell full of sparkle and colour that’s barely potent.”

“Zombie Cure Lab is a relatively enjoyable title, but with some issues. Going from having nothing to do one minute to being inundated with alerts and text pop-ups the next makes gameplay feel disjointed. That said, there are some well-thought-out, deep mechanics that fans of the genre will relish. Although the PlayStation 5 version is playable, this is perhaps best suited for PC gamers. Taking all of that into account, Zombie Cure Lab gets the Thumb Culture Silver Award.”
