Mar 26, 2025 | Score 90

“If you'd like to play a horror exploration game about the love-hate relationship between two boys and have an afternoon to kill, this is the perfect game. The game has an interesting twist that makes repeat playthroughs more fun. If you're still in the mood for some toxic yaoi, more content is on the way! An upcoming story expansion, Twilight Railway, is on track for later this year. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be putting myself into cryostasis to await Twilight Railway.”

“Rogue: Genesia is one of the most ambitious bullet heavens out there and is all from one hardworking developer, Ouadi Huard. It combines the best parts of genre titans to create a game with unlimited build potential, deep meta-progression, and a massive power curve. But it's not perfect. Weapon imbalances and upgrade power mean challenge often takes a backseat to sheer spectacle, and the visual clutter may be overwhelming for some players. If you love min-maxing, insane scaling, and watching enemies evaporate by the thousands, this game is for you.”

While some mechanics lack depth—particularly the shop system, which feels more like an idle game—the overall flow is pleasant, though the game quickly runs out of steam and suffers from slow updates on the tested PS5 version.”

Mar 18, 2025 | Score 75

“Do No Harm is a simple but ambitious indie title, which mix elements of Victorian medicine and cosmic horror in an experience reminiscent of Papers, Please. The idea behind it is fascinating and the game manages to convey a sense of growing tension, between increasingly complex diagnoses and supernatural presences that threaten our mental and physical sanity. However, a poorly refined technical realization, an unbalanced difficulty and characters that are barely sketched out make it a little frustrating and boring. Ultimately, Do No Harm has the potential to be a unique medical/horror experience, but it needs corrections and improvements to reach the level of its ambitions. Corrections that fortunately Dart Games are committed to releasing soon.”

“Bao Bao's Cozy Laundromat is an idle game that revolves around upgrading washing machines, managing resources, and expanding the laundromat. There are some unique touches that set it apart from other idle games, like the Twitch integration, allowing streamers to let their audience interact directly with the laundromat in charming ways. There’s also a built-in focus timer, making it a great companion for study or work sessions. While it’s a solid choice for idle game enthusiasts, its slow pace and passive nature might not appeal to everyone.”

“Being able to get your hands on a game that has left its mark on several generations and the industry is always a privilege. Despite not having had the chance to play it back in the day, getting to play an improved version is wonderful. However, the additional content is rather thin, and if you're a long-time fan, you're bound to be disappointed. Nostalgia is all well and good, but it still needs to be justified. Fortunately, the price is reasonable overall, and of course, there are hours of gameplay to be had. Suikoden and Konami aren't revolutionizing anything this time around. Some will find it worthwhile, others won't. But don't miss out on the chance to experience these incredible adventures!”

If you’re a fan of Celeste, VVVVVV, or Super Meat Boy, and you’re open to a few quirks, MainFrames is absolutely worth booting up. It may not change your life, but it’ll challenge your reflexes, make you laugh at a killer pop-up window, and remind you why tight, creative platformers are still one of gaming’s purest pleasures.”
