“Maliki: Poison of the Past is a timeline adventure that is definitely worth exploring, thanks to its unique battle style and diverse worlds. While it does have some bugs, such as frame rate issues on the Switch, playing on the Switch 2 resolves most of them.”

“Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 does enough to make it worth a punt. The story is silly and funny, and the action on display, the so called “matchroidvania”, does enough to make it addictive and playable.”

“The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is good once you come to grips with the approach. The minor gameplay tweaks are welcome, but the presence of some longstanding bugs test your tolerance for having an authentic experience. The game has a mostly fantastic presentation, but what will hold your attention is the gameplay with a world that isn't as sprawling as Skyrim yet is just as packed with interesting things to do and some side-quests that can grab your attention better than the main questline. If you have a powerful PC and want to experience this with good gamepad support, you'll be happy with this remastering of a modern classic.”

“Steel Seed doesn't do anything particularly new, but it does recreate tried and true gameplay and traversal elements and wraps it in a stunning presentation. I have trouble with the final act as I think it falls a bit short of the promise the first two acts build up to, but overall the complete package is a pretty good game marked by solid mechanics and progression. It settles into a core loop but encourages you to explore options to play that out, and for the most part offers a pretty cool narrative wrapping neat ideas into a gorgeous bit of world building.”

“Even if not all the bugs and errors were ironed out we're still treated to an incredibly charming indie horror that wears its inspirations proudly on its sleeve and will make fans of the old PlayStation era very happy. Post Trauma tells a deeply moving story, perfectly exploits the strengths of fixed camera perspectives despite its technical weaknesses and is ideal for a playthrough in one go. The puzzles are never unsolvable, but still keep you entertained, the combat is more of a secondary concern, and the game would probably have worked just as well without them.”

“Cornerpond keeps things simple. Simple premise, simple gameplay, simple style, and honestly, that’s its whole charm. It isn’t trying to be anything more, and I appreciate and respect that. If you enjoy the vibe of the little idle pond at the corner of your screen, that is all that really matters. What’s more, its incredibly low price point of around 3 bucks makes it, in my opinion, an absolute steal. It will absolutely join my ever-growing collection of idle games that are running on my PC at every waking hour. At some point, I may have to go out and buy a fourth screen to house all of them… Anyways. Today, Cornerpond gets a nice and simple Thumb Culture Gold Award!”

“Medieval Legacy is a game that will feel dry to those unfamiliar with grand strategy and lineage games, with menus that may intimidate and a realistic unfairness to your struggle, even on the introductory Medium setting, which makes this not the best entry point for gamers intrigued by the premise. To you, I beg, try King of Dragon Pass, or the cozier Echoes of Plum Grove as a launching pad. Then come join us over here in numbers land. But for those of us that don’t mind being blasted with a whole lot of information and countless ways to flub your run (ask me about my hundreds of hours in Stellaris), Medieval Legacy is a pretty darn good legacy sim. The month-to-month turns give you plenty of time to putter through the menus, talk to neighboring families, and decide on your course of action. While it seems like there’s not much to do at first with your minimal resources, there’s much more lurking around to discover, making for a slightly clunky in places but earnest and enjoyable sim. I liked this game a surprising amount, and will continue to plug away at it until I get a family I can be proud of. But my score should be taken with caveats for the comfier gamer, and I wish the early access demo was still available. Still, at a budget price, I highly endorse giving this game a fair shot, so long as this kind of thing is your jam.”

“It’s suffering from a lack of players at the moment, but this underwater-set release has all the makings of a creative and fun take on the arena shooter genre.”

“Block Fortress 2 is a title with very solid and well-made foundations, which however would have benefited from a co-op component and greater quality of life, especially on the construction side.”

“Scarred is an indie title that places its focus on narrative and atmosphere. The story is touching and deals with deep themes with sensitivity, but the gameplay experience is hampered by minimal mechanics, almost nonexistent environmental interaction, and technical shortcomings. Nevertheless, those who appreciate strongly guided narrative experiences with a psychological core may find Scarred to be an interesting, though imperfect, title. Scarred is a psychological horror adventure developed by KOEX Studio and published by The Iterative Collective. The game was released on April 16, 2025, for PC, with support for Windows, macOS, and Linux.”

“Its name may evoke some of the lower points of 3D platformers from a few decades ago, but its gameplay recalls some of the better ones, and for that reason it’s worth investigating if you’re a fan of the genre.”

“Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate succeeds in its mission of offering a (currently) definitive version of the Phantom Breaker franchise spin-off. While there are several good beat 'em ups in the Switch library, there's no denying that this young girls fighters' adventure performs well and especially fits the versatility of Nintendo's device. So, if what you're looking for is a new adventure in this genre currently in a recent boom, this is a very solid choice despite not being quite as spectacular as some more modern titles; nonetheless, if you keep your expectations in check, it's perfectly possible to have fun here.”

“Gorn 2 doesn't reinvent the series, and it doesn't need to. It refines the original in smart, deliberate ways: tighter progression, sharper visuals, and more variety through new weapons and absurd traps. The core loop remains that gleeful, physics-fuelled violence, now smoother, better paced, and more reliably fun. For fans of the first entry, Gorn 2 delivers a more polished and engaging experience - a true sequel that earns its place in the arena.”
