“Goosebumps: Terror in Little Creek gets the books right: they're easy to read, scary, and have just the right amount of mystery to get your imagination going. It's not a great work of art, but it's not the disaster that many people thought it would be. You like it for what it is, just like the Goosebumps books. Not because it's perfect, but because it's fun.”

“Chip' n Clawz vs. The Brainioids is best suited for individuals who want to try something new and exciting. People who like RTS games might think it's too easy, and people who like action games might want the fighting to be more intense.”

“Fans of roguelite games can’t get enough of Deadzone: Rogue‘s “just one more run” loop. It moves smoothly, the gunplay feels powerful, and the synergy system makes building different characters fun. As you’re in the middle of a run, enemies are coming at you from all sides, and your guns are chaining lightning across the screen. This is when the game really shines.”

“The Royal Writ is a great deck-building strategy game with a cute medieval theme that combines managing cards and strategically placing them in a way that works really well. Each run is a gratifying strategic challenge thanks to its creative mechanics, which include balancing additive and multiplicative power growth, giving up units, and avoiding terrain hazards.”

“Noctuary blends a heartfelt visual novel with stylish, accessible action combat. Its strong story and presentation shine, especially on Switch 2. A must-play for VN fans craving light gameplay.”

“Fretless – The Wrath of Riffson isn’t perfect. The puzzles are so simple that they feel like filler, and the story is cute, but it won’t stick with you like the music or combat will. If a player has trouble with timing, the rhythm mechanics might be a bit challenging for them, but the game is forgiving enough that it never becomes a significant issue.”

“From gameplay to unit diversity to mission planning, Broken Arrow provides one of the finest experiences of any current military RTS. However, it seemed unfinished for several reasons. Even though it isn't in early access, the game has an oddly incomplete feel to it.”

“Whether playing solo or with a few friends, Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game taps into that same niche joy that skateboarding games offer: mastering the mechanics just for the sake of self-expression and challenge. If you're the type of person who spends hours in Skate 3 perfecting a single line, or if you've ever tried to combo your way through a Tony Hawk map without bailing once, then this is a game made with you in mind.”

“Galactic Glitch is a futuristic sci-fi take and serves as a welcome addition to the indie roguelike genre. It lives in a crowded sector, but with its unique spin on genre conventions, engaging physics-based combat, slight progression mechanics, and enigmatic narrative, it sets itself apart.”

“A joyful blend of platforming, puzzle-solving, and co-op charm. Despite some uneven boss fights, POPUCOM shines with creative tools and vibrant level design. A sleeper hit in the making.”

“Equinox: Homecoming isn’t a finished portrait yet, but it’s a promising sketch that you should monitor as it develops. If you’re ready to deal with some early-access bugs and keep your hopes low, Equinox: Homecoming gives you a taste of something truly special.”
