“While the Wild West theme is unique to this type of game, Cattle Country offers little you haven't seen elsewhere. A lack of originality isn't surprising for this genre, but it's still disappointing. The non-innovative approach would be less of an issue were this game refined, but multiple quirks and outright bugs show that's not the case. The game could use more polish, so genre fans might be best waiting for a sale.”

“Set in a whimsical world full of flippable levels, sentient craft supplies and chirpy companions, PaperKlay wears its inspirations proudly. With music composed by Banjo-Kazooie’s Grant Kirkhope and a distinctly Paper Mario-meets-crochet-dollhouse art style, it’s a game that will tug at the nostalgia strings for anyone who grew up with platformers or enjoys games bursting with charm. PaperKlay is not a perfect platformer, and it’s not trying to be. It’s charming, heartfelt and full of personality. The lack of a tutorial and the soft-focus story might throw some players off, but the humour, visual creativity and brilliant soundtrack more than make up for it. What truly sets PaperKlay apart is its dedication to a distinctive visual identity. In a sea of photorealistic AAA titles, it is refreshing, even brilliant, to play something that looks like it was made by a particularly artistic goblin on a crafting binge. There’s something special about games that feel like someone truly enjoyed making them, and this feels like one of those. It’s silly, warm and just the right amount of strange. If you’re after something relaxing, with soul and silliness, PaperKlay is well worth unfolding. PaperKlay gets the Thumb Culture Silver Award.”

“In a sea of recycled content and overblown live-service promises, this is a package that actually offers real value. If you left The Division 2 gathering digital dust a long time ago, Battle for Brooklyn is the perfect reason to pull your agent out of retirement and clean up the streets - in style.”

“Inspired by comedic boxing games such as Super Punch-Out!!, Leftovers KO! looks great but unfortunately it's just not that much fun to play. You might get some enjoyment out of fighting its foodstuffs if you have a lot of patience, but otherwise you'd be best to steer clear.”

“"A terrifying concept grounded in realism" Ghost Frequency delivers a focused psychological horror experience based on realistic paranormal investigation. Time-limited gameplay and simple visuals enhance the tension. Despite some issues with voice acting and direction, the strong sound design, clever gameplay mechanics, and overall terrifying atmosphere make this a memorable short experience for horror fans.”

“I really wanted to love Section 13, and while I did enjoy it, it was held back by the incremental pace of the game as well as the brutal difficulty of enemy encounters. This is a very, very grindy game, and while I don’t mind spending time with an adventure, I do wish this particular game were on Switch 2. I find portable play is ideal for rogue adventures, and I feel I would have had much more success were that an option. That said, Section 13 is still a compelling game, it’s just one that regularly feels like a slog. Here’s hoping the next adventure from Ocean Drive Studio manages to capitalize on the rogue genre’s strengths better.”

“Visually, Snacko doesn’t know what it wants to be. The world is 3D, the characters and animals are 2D pixel sprites, and during dialogue, NPCs switch to more detailed illustrations. It felt jarring every time. The mix of art styles clashed instead of blending together. The characters’ pixel models are also weirdly darker than they appear when they’re talking. Mikan is white, but she looks grey in sprite form.”

“What should have been an 8.5/10 experience is, for now, a 7/10. The Siege and the Sandfox has charm, style, and stealthy substance—but it’s held back by just a few technical hiccups and a lack of post-launch support. Still, I had a blast sneaking through its world. This game has bags of character and gameplay worth sinking your snout into.”

“Considering Battlesector has just celebrated its fourth birthday, Deeds of the Fallen makes it clear that there’s still some life left in the old strategy yet. Deeds of the Fallen was released alongside a brand new game mode, Crusade, further expanding the options available to solo players, and there’s still more content promised on the horizon. Lost in the endless sea of Warhammer games? If you want all the thrills of the tabletop experience, Battlesector, and in particular, Deeds of the Fallen, is the best place to start.”

“Not all indie darlings live up to the hype, apparently. Haneda Girl might even have a decent gameplay loop, but it’s uninteresting in terms of its story, visuals, controls (its button placement is odd at best) and overly demanding medal system. I can think of a handful of arcade action platformers I’d recommend over it, but if you’ve already beaten them all and are salivating for something akin to Hotline Miami or Katana Zero, I guess Haneda Girl still gets the job done. Great soundtrack, though.”

“Beneath its rough exterior lies a captivating project, kept alive by its vibrant open world, non-linear progression, and handcrafted gameplay. It's simply fun to play - unlike the heavily outdated Oblivion, which, aside from visuals, has little left to offer.”

“Grandma, No! was enjoyable, and thankfully just long enough to escape without having your cheek flesh pulled from your jawline. It’s full of weird and wonderful characters, devastatingly hilarious situations, and fun minigames, and while jokes were hilarious at first, they started to feel like you were listening to someone suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease.”

“Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny Remaster is not a modern action extravaganza, nor does it aspire to be one. It is an atmospheric relic from another era that scores points with its charm, atmosphere, and a combat system that remains solid even today. The technical improvements are minimal, but sufficient to make the game accessible to a new audience. Those familiar with the original will find a more comfortable version for current platforms here. Those who missed it will get a piece of Capcom history for a fair price, which may have its rough edges but is still entertaining.”

“Please, Touch The Artwork 2 has a few original concepts, like making many paintings feel connected, but the gameplay is uninteresting, slow and sometimes annoying. It may be a game for art lovers, but gamers are probably better off looking elsewhere.”

“Lynked: Banner of the Spark is a hot chocolate of a game. Sweet, sumptuous and oh, so cosy. It offers an intriguing and fresh experience thanks to combining roguelite dungeon crawling with town-building, and it keeps you engaged from beginning to end. It's just a shame that, on PS5 at least, it's a resolutely single-player experience rather than the multiplayer one that it's intended to be.”

“Bugtopia is a cute and vibrant game about collecting bugs. The bugs are adorable, the terrariums are diverse, and we have a variety of colors, blooming plants, little buildings, and even some fish; what’s not to like? If you enjoy nature and insects, you’ll love this one. If you don’t like bugs, you should skip it.”
