Launch Window“Still, from a critical view, the strong themes don’t make up for the simple gameplay. As a game I reviewed on Nintendo Switch 2, which caters to a younger audience, I appreciate the gentle approach and safe emotional space that kids can still enjoy, but you’ll also notice the missed chance for deeper tension. Imagine if the weather really changed your path, or if your choices about helping others or rebuilding changed the story’s mood. While the story works, I can't help but feel that it was mostly in one tone. Winter Burrow understands mood, framing a story, and emotional subtext, but never really experiments with its own language the way I would have liked. It’s thoughtful, visually articulate, and occasionally poignant...just not ambitious enough in its mechanics or narrative structure to step from “good” into “great.””

Launch Window“Overall I would say that Just Dance 2026 Edition is a solid addition to the Just Dance lineup. It stays true to the game franchises' roots while introducing fresh new tracks and game modes that keep the fun going. If you are a known Just Dance lover, it's an easy add to your collection. If you just want a game that gets you dancing, introduces you to new genres, and offers welcoming gameplay for all skill levels, definitely try it out.”

Launch Window“It is a heartfelt, cozy, and impressive creative playground, especially remarkable for a solo developer, and a fantastic pick for anyone who loves to design at their own pace. I recommend you try it for yourself and let me know what you build.”

Launch Window“It’s a brief but memorable slice of teen life, with enough heart and humour to make me want to revisit the first game to see what I missed. If you’re looking for something short, sweet, and inclusive, this one’s worth a spot in your library.”

Launch Window“CritterGarden is a pleasant and fun game that combines farming, science, and resource management to create a fun and engaging experience. It's easy to pick up but has enough complexity to keep you engaged for many hours. I'd rate it a 7.5 out of 10 and suggest it to anyone who enjoys relaxing games with some challenge and likes creature collecting. Be warned, though, that you'll be doing a lot of small tasks and could find yourself losing hours playing as you work in your alien garden.”

Early Review“If you’re ready to dive into a world where corporate chaos meets "Blade Runner-esque" existential dread—and maybe laugh along the way—this game is absolutely worth your time.”

Late Review“If you are interested in playing a game that sends players back to the nostalgic age of Game Boy gaming but also adds enough adult humour to take the experience past the realm of mere childhood nostalgia, I'd suggest The Edge of Allegoria. Leave your sensibilities at the door, grab a snack (you'll find lots on your gaming journey), and prepare for a unique nostalgia trip.”

Late Review“With its fascinating and thought-provoking narrative, perceptive themes that prompt introspective reflection, and the surprising effect it has had on my personal perspective. This is a richly rewarding, intensely layered game that impressively highlights video games' capabilities as a viable and efficient medium for conveying complicated and mature narratives.”
