“Sticks to just being a decent light and casual sim, but is hardly groundbreaking in any way”

“The first instalment in a planned trilogy, The Fall does a respectable job at feeling complete while setting up upcoming entries. Although shorter than most adventures, the length does work in its benefit, as the slow pacing would likely overstay its welcome in a longer journey. Worth noting, the pacing is by no means perfect, with the ending coming off feeling especially rushed, but the rest of the experience makes good use of a slow, methodical approach. Atmospheric and appropriately lonely, with enough narrative weight to think on, this makes for some enjoyable point-and-click fun.”

“This is a game that may not be for everyone - but it really should be played by most. It is an amazing story that’s been wonderfully realised, it is powerful, and scary, and really makes you think. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream has top notch voice acting and the biggest problem that plagues it is easily alleviated with modern access to guides. I highly recommend experiencing this at least once, but I also recommend the original short story and listening to some Harlan Ellison interviews as well. I look forward to revisiting this in another ten years.”

“Sports: Renovations isn’t a bad game—but it’s definitely one you play with Netflix on. Instructions are vague, the story is easy to skip, and even finishing your main goal early earns no acknowledgment. There’s solid voice acting and some charm in the radio broadcasts, but most players will miss it while zoning out or playing their own music. There's no reward for creativity, and your effort rarely matters. I’m not sure who the target audience is—sports fans or dad game fans—but merging the two doesn’t quite land. Still, if you just want something low-pressure to unwind with (and you dodge the glitches), it’s a decent time-waster.”

“A fresh feeling, flexible combat system tied to a series of dungeons that are thematically interesting but fundamentally humdrum. Special features and additions to this remaster that highlight its beauty, give better accessibility to weapon stocks, and give the tempo a much-needed speed boost, but feels incomplete compared to its remaster contemporaries. Ultimately, I had a gratifying experience playing this game in full and checking it off my bucket list, but it's a game which should be seen more as an incremental improvement and way to preserve it on modern consoles than something that's likely to draw in a new crowd.”

“Overall, I don’t really know who Disney Villains Cursed Café is actually for, as it utilises a lot of older villains that appeal to a slightly older audience, but has a very simple gameplay loop and feel that are best suited to younger players. My best bet would be Disney adults with younger kids, especially if you want to instill that kids lie and shouldn’t be treated as something special, thanks to Captain Hook and Maleficent. Besides that, this game has little return factor and, unfortunately, won’t really scratch the itch from any other game.”

“If you enjoy games that blend philosophy, atmosphere, mysticism, and a bit of good old magic - Inayah is one of the more unique experiences in recent times. If you don’t mind a slightly more rudimentary execution, then that only adds to the charm. You’ll have to earn the ending - that much is certain.”

“Twilight Monk is undoubtedly a solid game, especially considering it is the first major project from Aquatic Moon Games following their debut with IKEDA. Its artistic direction, diverse enemy roster, fluid animations, and a straightforward yet self-aware narrative stand out as clear strengths. The level design and map structure are meticulously crafted, showcasing how the studio has adeptly internalized the lessons of the great classics, achieving a well-balanced interplay between portals, save points, and the strategic placement of items and secrets. This all reflects a meticulous attention to world-building. Conversely, the gameplay feels somewhat unrefined, with promising concepts that are not fully realized and certain naïve design choices that can easily undermine an otherwise fundamentally simple game system. Although the combat mechanics are notably weaker—particularly when measured against the benchmark set by recent standout titles—this does not entirely diminish the overall experience, which remains enjoyable. Twilight Monk certainly serves as a good entry point for newcomers to the genre and offers a pleasant pastime for enthusiasts, provided they are willing to accept a modest difficulty level and some roughness in its execution.”

“Rosewater combines the Wild West and traditional point-and-click mechanics with relative success, taking players on a road trip that is more about relationship building than the trip's purpose. Which is both its biggest selling point and frustration. Rosewater is full of well-written and performed characters, but it's hard to care about all of them when they're not your headline.”

“Finishing KARMA: The Dark World leaves a lasting, visceral impression- a psychological weight that persists beyond the credits, compelling reflection on the game’s themes. The experience does not cater to instant gratification or easy approval; it aims to leave a profound and enduring mark, even if that means discomfort or unease. The game stands out for its rare artistic cohesion and the courage with which it sustains an uncompromising auteur vision. Its combination of fragmented, ambiguous narrative, oppressive world-building, and minimalist gameplay creates an experience that transcends conventional entertainment, leaning toward introspective and conceptual engagement. Players often feel more like observers than participants; yet this apparent passivity is integral to the work’s message, amplifying the intended sense of helplessness and alienation. Limitations, such as occasional visual repetition or a restricted range of interactions, are secondary to the overall impact. KARMA: The Dark World demands attentiveness, patience, and emotional sensitivity. It rewards those who embrace its slow, contemplative rhythm, immersive observation, and reflective engagement. Its power lies in evoking psychological tension and unease without resorting to cheap tricks or gratuitous visual shocks, relying instead on atmosphere, sound, and symbolism. It is an imperfect work, perhaps, but profoundly honest and raw, expressing something deeply personal and authentic. The final sequence is particularly memorable, capable of unsettling, moving, and resonating on an intimate emotional level. In an increasingly homogenized gaming landscape, KARMA: The Dark World stands out as a rare, intense, and indispensable experience for those seeking not just entertainment, but meaningful engagement.”

“Overall, Care Bears: Unlock the Magic is a neat little game if the purpose is to introduce a very young audience, or non-gamers, to the world of multiplayer minigames, as the ones seen in Mario Party. If you are even just vaguely adept at gaming, you will likely want to fall asleep after a little bit, but let me reiterate: you are not the audience this game was made for. It is a great way to encourage those around you to play games with you, but you might want to push them onto other games pretty quickly after that.”

“Shadow of the Orient is nothing we haven't seen before, and its main idea is actually good, but the conversion to consoles ends up stumbling on some important points that end up discouraging players who enjoy adventures of this type. Add this to the visual issues in the HUD and we have a prospect of what could be a great adventure, but one that urgently needs fixing.”

“Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark is a very unique game, to say the least. It takes the 2D action gameplay Inti Creates is known for and mixes it with that of a Metroidvania. The gameplay itself is fast and fluid, and the two main characters cover both ranged and melee-based playstyles. It can be played solo by switching between characters on the fly, or in co-op with a friend. Bosses are unique and challenging, but even the normal enemies can easily take you out if you aren’t careful. Transferring perks between picked-up items lets you customize your character’s stats to your liking, and unlocking new abilities is a lot of fun as well. Everything about this core gameplay is spot on and makes Servants of the Dark a joy to play; it is pretty much everything a fan of 2D action games could ask for! However, the rough edges are what makes playing the game a challenge at times.”

“Tayutama -Kiss on My Deity- is a story worth experiencing and has some great moments. Unfortunately, its structure makes experiencing all of its routes less than ideal, and it would have benefitted from a more comprehensive re-release. Still, I certainly enjoyed my first read quite a lot, and the new scenes in subsequent routes were ones I enjoyed.”

“Although the anime aesthetic is eye-catching at first glance, AI Limit delivers functional but reductionist gameplay, quickly becoming exploitable as the player masters the parry system. The result, as a whole, lacks consistency and identity, stuck in a gray and overly protocolary approach within its genre. It may still have some value to the niche audience it's trying to reach, but it's still a factually forgettable bureaucratic experience that fails to stand out from the crowd.”
