Luca Buelli at Indie Games Devel

Sep 22, 2025 | Score 70

“Schedule I is an original, deep, and remarkably well-balanced sandbox management game. It masterfully blends strategic complexity with freedom of action, placing players at the center of a rich and dynamic criminal ecosystem. While the game exhibits minor shortcomings – including an occasionally overwhelming volume of information and sporadic dips in performance – the game’s robust core ensures a coherent and engaging experience, with significant potential for refinement. It is now up to TVGS’s young development team to fully leverage these strengths, elevating an already distinctive title into a polished, comprehensive experience capable of leaving a lasting mark on the sandbox management genre.”

“Zexion is an exemplary case of genre maturity. Made by a single person, this Metroidvania draws inspiration from the early 8-bit era in several aspects, such as aesthetics, level of challenge, and the confidence that letting the player find their way is an important part of exploration. Behind all this, however, lies a refined body of knowledge about how an adventure of this type should be put together, how to turn boss fights into spectacular action sequences, and how the modern experience is enriched by giving its audience options for adjustments to suit their different needs.”

It might not break new ground, but it absolutely holds its own within the genre. On the flip side, while the shmup sections are solid and enjoyable, they’re not a big enough part of the package to make this a must-play for shmup purists — it's too much effort to get there for too little of the good stuff.”

“Bleach: Rebirth of Souls is a love letter to die-hard fans of Tite Kubo's work, but little more. In terms of story adaptation, this is an extremely competent effort that also presents Ichigo and company fans with new, quality content. Gameplay-wise, it meets the requirements and manages to offer a good few hours of fun, but it falls short by being too superficial and routine in crucial areas. It's one of those offerings that will only increase in value the more fans you are of the source material—and for the most passionate Bleach fans, this game is well worth it. For others seeking a mechanically deep and strategically dense fighting game, you'll leave this experience with an appetite to satisfy.”

It’s still somewhat good-looking (in parts), and despite the framerate dips, it’s still a neat and fully playable experience. What’s more, there’s the added benefit of portability and some quality of life perks when it this mode, with larger fonts and touch-based controls. It might not be a good showcase of what to expect from AAA ports onto the Switch 2 (it does feel a bit rushed, I’m not gonna lie), but I had a good time with it regardless. It ain’t Tsushima, but it is a decent alternative.”

“Trucker Horror is a slow-burn descent into roadside paranoia, where every empty gas station and twisted backroad feels like a warning you ignored. You play as Jason, a long-haul trucker who takes a shortcut that doesn’t exist on any map—and finds himself looping through abandoned motels, flickering lights, and something that’s definitely watching. The game builds tension not with action, but with atmosphere and isolation, leaning into eerie stillness and cursed Americana. There are no quick saves, no fast answers—just your rig, your instincts, and the growing sense you were never alone on this road. If you’ve ever feared what’s beyond the headlights on a forgotten highway, Trucker Horror delivers that dread in diesel-fueled doses.”
