“Database Detective: Minor Crime Division is a Schrödinger’s Cat of educational content – on one hand it teaches concepts easily and practically, on the other hand it puts fun front and centre – it’s only when you open the box that you’ll find out if it’s useful for you. Either way, an entertaining, comical story wrapped in the interest of learning something new cannot be ignored – sadly, the game does lose half a star due to a current lack of accessibility options.”

“I initially thought I was going to be overwhelmed by the mechanics in Fogpiercer. Thankfully they were easy to pick up and understand after a few short runs. The deckbuilding and strategy aspects make this roguelite stand out from others, on top of crisp graphics and audio. It’s definitely one I’m going to keep playing and I recommend you check it out as well. Well deserving of the Thumb Culture Platinum Award.”

“While I appreciate people finding new types of games to give some roguelike twists to, Barda does too poor a job of helping the player get on board with what it’s trying to do”

“Within the first chapter, you see Desktop Explorer have all the tools to make its mark as something unique within the Horror genre, yet it dips disappointingly into tropes we’ve all seen before, retreading ground which has been walked thousands of times.”

“Overall though, there’s a lot of charm to Fixforce. It can be frustrating, and the RNG can feel like it’s working against us at times, but get a few friends in for an evening and the co-op building/collecting can be a blast once we get into the swing of things.”

“Ghost Keeper started out with everything it needed to fill a void that had lasted over twenty years, boasting a pleasant Victorian atmosphere, excellent voice acting in the original language, and mansions rich in detail and featuring remarkable lighting. Unfortunately, the gameplay experience ends up getting lost in a maze of missed opportunities: the NPCs’ overly passive and erratic AI, combined with clunky controls, a restricted camera, and an unnecessarily complicated set of powers, disrupts the rhythm of what should have been a thrilling domino effect of terror. The result is a lackluster title, at times repetitive and lacking the bite and immediacy of its illustrious spiritual predecessor.”

“While I can’t be sure how everything fits together when played with others, even the solo play of Happy’s Humble Burger Cult is an enjoyable slice of job. It’s definitely not Overcooked in terms of depth, and the horror is pushed out of the way to make room for hijinks, but the care that Scythe Studios always put into the small details elevates it. Really, it’s not made from the freshest ingredients, but it’s a tasty sandwich that gives you what you paid for.”

“Cooling off in this heat with a fast downhill bike ride through forests and mountains seems like a great idea. The game's open world is vast, the riding is unrealistic, and the bikes cannot be customized.”

“Dead Weight is not perfect. The game’s economy doesn’t feel balanced, and there’s plenty of randomness in the game to make you scratch your head at times. But that doesn’t really matter, in the end.”

“While it still has room to grow in enemy variety, item explanation and mission diversity, the core gameplay loop remains strong. The combination of physics-driven teamwork, extraction mechanics and supernatural exploration gives Wreck Runners an identity all its own. If you’ve been looking for the next great cooperative game to enjoy with friends, this is one worth climbing aboard for.”

“The PowerWash Simulator 2 – Star Wars Pack could have been a dream expansion, but it suffers from performance issues that weren't present before. The elements from the film franchise were well chosen, fitting the game's established style, but the absence of background music was particularly noticeable here, given the saga's iconic musical legacy surrounding its heroes and villains.”

“Being the mayor of a cozy town in Go-Go Town! has been a great adventure. It has its frustrating moments, and some tourists were very difficult to deal with. But it certainly adds a cozy appeal to city management, and the game does provide you with plenty of leeway as well.”

“There's a lot of fun to be had in Heave Ho 2, whether you're playing with one friend or in a group of four, together or online. Le Cartel has taken the swinging puzzle platforming of the original and built so many great new settings and inventive ideas around it. One or two more awkward elements can grate, but then you've got that perfect chancer move to fling yourself with perfect precision from start to end and the roar of surprised delight. A great sequel.”

“With a dedication to preservation and engaging action, 70s-style Robot Anime Geppy-X definitely deserves your attention. Yes, it can be a bit clunky, and sure, it can be tough, but it also delivers a shoot ‘em up experience that’s fun, looks great, and is deceptively strategic. It’s clear that a lot of love and attention went into making this the definitive way to experience Geppy-X, so if you’re a fan of the genre or simply appreciate old-school preservation, it’s a must-play.”

“Like a most deadly pandemic, Pathogenic has flown under the radar, but is soon to explode across the population and infect us all with a good time. This excellent twin-stick bullet-hell shooter boasts great mechanics and a strong theme to showcase them, one that left my skin crawling in all the best ways.”
