“Him, the Smile & Bloom is a competent otome game in its concept of exploring adult romantic relationships through four very different couples. The result is a great pick for fans of the genre and those who still don't know it but are interested in exploring a little of what it has to offer.”

“Bringing back classic handheld entries into one convenient bundle, the Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection enhances each game with new modification options, fresh translations for many, and online play for one title in particular. Some of the selection feels like more of a historical novelty than solid games in their own right, and a lack of proper tutorials in any of them make that barrier of entry somewhat prohibitive, but new players willing to persevere will find a robust group of titles waiting for them.”

“Although being firm competition to Flynn's Arcade own offerings in this under used genre, the special ingredient in the cauldron that should make Freddy Farmer a real standout title, isn't really there. There is no equivalent to Bomb Jack's 'super jump' and steerable decent or Bubble Bobble's chain reacting bubbles. That said, apart from that and a few frustrating mechanics, Freddy Farmer is a lot of fun and delivers a solid challenge that can keep you entertained for 5 to 10 hours.”

“Monster Hunter Wilds not only presents itself as the best game in the series with all the improvements and additions it offers in all its elements, but it is also one of the most distinctive video game experiences in all its elements, which will be greatly admired by players who are fans of the series as well as fans of action games in general.”

“Glover was an ambitious and unique concept back in 1998. Ultimately, it's where the game should remain. It is a shame - with improved controls and tweaks to the design, it could have shown the concept in its best possible light. The badge of a "remaster" really does not qualify as the Nintendo Switch edition feels very much a cash-grab that's building on Nintendo nostalgia. Unless you've got a fondness for Glover, it's difficult to recommend diving into this Nintendo 64 gem in 2025.”

“Even if it’s not a bad experience, I don’t exactly get the appeal of this Ninja Five-O re-release. It’s not exactly a hidden gem from the GBA era, nor a cult classic. It’s a 2D platformer that gets the job done, provides you with a couple of hours of moderate entertainment without reinventing the wheel, and that’s pretty much it.”

“Cat Detective Albert Wilde stands out in the “animal detective” game category by taking a spin on the cute and cozy vibes. This game absolutely dives head first into the crude comedic narrative where I could never guess what Albert is going to say next. I enjoy the blend of interrogations and puzzles that make me truly feel like a detective. If you are looking for a detective game with tons of comedy and a little bit of science fiction, Albert Wilde is ready to pounce on his next mystery with you!”

“Die in the Dungeon stands out in a crowded roguelike space by doing something genuinely different with its core mechanics. Using dice instead of cards isn’t just a novelty; it’s a thoughtful design choice that reshapes how you think about combat, builds, and strategy. Even in early access, it offers a polished and engaging experience that rewards curiosity and experimentation. If you enjoy deck-builders but want something that feels fresh, or if you’re looking for a roguelike that values planning over speed, this is well worth your time. Failure is there, but it always encourages you to roll again. And I was more than happy to have another roll with this gem.”

“If you enjoy typing or unconventional survival horror games, you should give Blood Typers a try. There’s something surprisingly fun about its mixture of genres, as it manages to be an incredibly smooth and chaotic experience even when played solo.”

“Police Shootout features an engaging atmosphere and allows various approaches to gameplay, but suffers from repetitive missions and a cliché story. While its turn-based mechanic offers a unique twist, many find it cumbersome, and the graphics, while decent, aren't groundbreaking. The short length and basic character portrayals often leave players wanting more from their experience.”

“Cabernet is a game with a lot of heart. It puts so much work into establishing the eastern-European setting, the vampire lore and all of its wonderful characters, which all have impressive voice acting that makes the story more emotional throughout. While the game does certainly lack a little polish in spots, it's a highly engaging story that's more than worth sinking your teeth into.”

“Desvelado feels like a surprise. The game does cost ten euros, which is certainly not a lot considering the three to four hours it will take you to complete. I doubt you'll finish it again, given the linear puzzles you'll eventually encounter. Completing the bonus levels doesn't offer the satisfaction you might crave, so completing it will be sufficient. Quality-wise, the game has virtually no loading times, runs smoothly, and there are no DualSense features or anything like that to be expected. Ultimately, the game looks atmospheric, the gameplay is excellent, and the light puzzle elements are innovative and addictive. I highly recommend Desvelado to any fan of simple puzzle-platformers.”

“"A short but intense psychological horror experience" BrokenLore: LOW is a short psychological horror experience, but it leaves a much longer lasting impact. With a visual style inspired by 90s gaming and a sound design that instills tension at every moment, the game succeeds in creating a claustrophobic and disturbing atmosphere that supports its allegorical story of identity and self-destruction. Despite limited resources and some technical shortcomings, the powerful narrative, art direction, and tense music more than make up for it. It's a promising start to an anthological series that's well worth checking out.”

“X-Out: Resurfaced is a faithful and well-crafted revival of a classic Amiga shmup. While it doesn’t reinvent the genre, it successfully modernizes the original with refined graphics, smoother gameplay, and quality-of-life improvements. The remastered soundtrack and optional co-op mode make it more accessible, and the fleet-building system adds depth rarely seen in side-scrolling shooters. For fans of classic shmups, this is a must-play—a lovingly restored slice of gaming history. However, for those looking for a more innovative take on the genre, X-Out: Resurfaced may feel more like a polished relic than a groundbreaking new experience.”
