“Power Sink is a clever, underwater puzzle/platformer with nice visuals and intriguing gameplay. Puzzle fans will enjoy the game's built-in logic, but a host of glitches will sink the overall experience for many of those willing to take the dive.”

Subhasish Das at Gameffine

Jun 9, 2025 | Score 60

“Trident’s Tale delivers a colorful and whimsical pirate adventure that’s perfect for younger audiences, but it stumbles in execution. While its vibrant world and lighthearted storytelling are charming, the predictable narrative and repetitive quests lack substance. The stiff sailing mechanics, lackluster combat, and forgettable characters make it less appealing to seasoned players. Although it performs well technically, the world feels barren, limiting exploration and immersion. In the end, it fails to measure up to iconic pirate games like Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag or The Wind Waker.”

“Flora and Fang is an adorable little single-screen action platformer with a fun premise. It combines two classic arcade game formulas in smart ways and adds neat features that keep the gameplay engaging. However, levels tend to drag on, and the game often feels like it’s setting you up to lose your hearts. Flora and Fang is an enjoyable experience, but it just misses the pacing and the magic spark that made its inspirations so compelling.”

It does have a solid foundation, and being single-player does differentiate it from its sources of inspiration, but at the end of the day, the source of inspiration is still a better experience. It does lack variety and becomes tedious very quickly.”

Shane Boyle at Hey Poor Player

Jul 16, 2025 | Score 100

“Throes of the Watchmaker is a wonderful addition to an already fantastic package. While I’m not one hundred percent sold on the complete reset of skills, it does at least make narrative sense and allow for an admittedly needed power reset going into the new content, given that the expansion cannot be accessed until you’ve bested the mandatory content from the base game. That minor gripe aside, Throes of the Watchmaker is an exceptional package that highlights and builds upon what was so enjoyable within the base game. The new dungeons and biome are a treat to explore, stuffed with puzzles and engaging combat encounters that rival, and in many cases surpass, the quality already established by the base game, and if this is to be the last we see of Sea of Stars until what is hopefully an inevitable sequel, then this is a hell of a way to bow out.”
