“Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii offers a fresh, naval-themed take on the well-established series template, with some enjoyable new additions and some of the series’ greatest hits when it comes to side activities. It’s a pleasure to play as Goro Majima again, even if the story here isn’t as compelling as mainline entries. It’s a must-play for those who already enjoy the series, and offers something different enough to encourage a look from those who don’t (yet).”

“At its core, Cinnabunny is a story about family, resilience, and community. You play as Big Bounce, a bun who has left their home due to a devastating drought. While your family can survive for now, they won’t be able to stay there forever. As you’re hopping around your home, you can see how the drought has affected it. The trees are bare, the river is small, there are no crops… And so, your mission is clear: build a new home in Sugar Creek Burrows and earn enough to invite your family. It’s a heartwarming premise, giving weight to the cosy, slice-of-life gameplay.”

“Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog is a brilliant and engaging visual novel with clear inspiration taken from mecha anime, manga, and video games from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Despite the almost overwhelming nostalgia the visuals and music may invoke, the title manages to stay fresh and exciting all the way through.”

“Geminism is a visual novel that takes what's considered a normal, everyday life and shoves a healthy amount of absurdity into it. By putting a pair of twins in the center of the story, it introduces a fresh and exciting twist into the relationships surrounding your typical battle-filled story. While linear in nature, it maximizes its storyline by making use of two parallel perspectives that inevitably intersect in a ridiculous ritual for a chance at achieving normalcy. While engaging as a read, the potential for an incredibly impactful ending fails to be realized due to what feels like missed timings and rushed pacing near the ending. The characters do not feel convincing in their motivations until near the end, resulting in a lack of general investment early on that's important for establishing a rewarding payoff. Despite this, Geminism is still very good at what it does well, incorporating dynamic visuals and sounds in an entertainingly fun yet violent narrative. CRAFTWORK did a great job with it as their return title, and I am very much looking forward to their next releases. If you're looking for an action-packed visual novel that's exciting yet wholesome despite being vividly violent, go for Geminism. With its unique art direction, well-utilized soundtrack, and overall fun demeanor, it's an experience that's both cruel yet full of love.”

“Microtopia is a deep, highly detailed management sim that rewards careful planning and patience. Its unique premise, striking art style, and intricate automation mechanics make it a standout experience in the genre. However, its complexity and time requirements mean it won’t appeal to everyone. Casual players may find themselves lost in its depth, but those who enjoy in-depth strategy games and optimization challenges will likely find it incredibly rewarding. If you’re a fan of management sims and enjoy perfecting automated systems, Microtopia is well worth a try. A free prologue is available on Steam, allowing you to test the waters before committing to the full experience”

“If all you were hoping for was a budget-friendly approximation of Angry Birds on Switch, it at least delivers that”

“Avowed on PS5 is a focused, polished RPG that thrives on combat variety, skill depth, and companion-driven encounters. Expanded progression systems and gear upgrades make your chosen playstyle feel consistently rewarding, while companions add tactical and narrative depth to every fight. Though Obsidian has kept some story beats and familiar design elements safe, the meaningful tweaks and updates bring more out of your experience, making exploration, combat, and progression more engaging than ever. Limited enemy variety remains a minor restraint, but overall, the PS5 version feels complete, confident, and satisfying from start to finish.”

“Lost Records: Bloom & Rage shows strong potential, but Tape 1 alone feels incomplete—its true value may only emerge once the full story unfolds.”

“Nobody Nowhere earns a 9.0 out of 10 for delivering a tightly edited, emotionally resonant sci‑fi experience: superb pixel animation, a haunting soundtrack, and a morally complex narrative that rewards attention. Its pacing, dual perspectives, and integrated BCI/cyberspace moments elevate the game beyond its three‑hour runtime, while a few fiddly minigames and occasionally blurred scene transitions keep it from perfection. At $9.99 with a free demo, it’s an excellent, low‑risk purchase for fans of narrative pixel games.”

“Mini City: Mayhem isn’t a bad little city builder but it’s not a particularly great title either. The patchwork of influences have been done better elsewhere – namely in Tetris, Islanders and SimCity – but its simplicity and familiarity make it an easy game to pick up and play. For its cheap asking price this is worth checking out if you’re a city building fan, but don’t go in expecting anything revolutionary here.”

“WASTED: A Post Apocalyptic Pub Crawler isn’t a game I would recommend to everyone, it’s heavy on the roguelike design and this would put off many, even if you are a massive FPS fan. The frustrating side of a roguelike is that death can come from any corner. What makes WASTED worthwhile is the visual style, gameplay, and humour. It makes for an excellent time waster, and at £9.99 it isn’t badly priced either.”

“It is hard to find reasons to recommend Dead Dragons when the game itself could not be finished due to an unusual issue. All the unfortunate trifling elements contribute to the sentiment that it is not the usual fun Kemco style of RPGs. There are not even enjoyable secret passages to explore to offset the numerous issues. Perhaps this is one title that should not have been ported to Nintendo Switch.”

“Trails Through Daybreak II stands out as a solid sequel that expands on Calvard's political and personal stakes while deepening its characters. Despite a sometimes uneven pace and a technically inferior Switch version, the captivating story and improved combat make it a must-play JRPG. The PS5 remains the best option to fully enjoy the experience and is my top recommendation at this time.”

“The Strongest TOFU is a quirky and fast-paced platformer that delivers a surprisingly fun experience. With its simple yet effective mechanics, bite-sized levels, and hilarious tofu-themed presentation, it’s a short but memorable adventure. Add in wacky boss fights, random tofu facts, and even live-action cutscenes, and you have an indie gem that embraces its absurdity while offering solid gameplay.”
