Reviews
“Wizordum is a brilliant return to the golden age of 90s FPS games, paying homage to the classics without ever losing its own identity. It combines frantic action, striking visuals, clever puzzles and delightful secrets, delivering an experience that feels both nostalgic and modern at the same time. It’s a game made with genuine love for the genre — one that rewards the curious, challenges veterans and welcomes new players. For anyone who grew up with Heretic, Hexen and other icons of the past, Wizordum is a gift and an adventure that truly deserves to be experienced.”
“Noctuary is a visual novel with a touch of action RPG that shines primarily through its story, art, and atmosphere. It’s ideal for patient players, fans of deep narratives, and anyone who enjoys that charming anime-style flair. Despite minor technical limitations on the Switch, the game delivers a memorable and engaging experience.”

Launch Window“Patapon 1+2 Replay is much more than a simple revival: it’s a celebration of the creativity that only rhythm games can deliver. Between tribal marches, precise commands, and strategic battles, the game proves that intensity isn’t measured solely by explosions or relentless enemies. Even with minor technical issues — audio latency on certain TVs and the lack of automatic saving — the experience remains hypnotic and captivating. The charming visuals, memorable soundtrack, and innovative gameplay make this title a perfect gateway for those looking to explore new styles and rediscover a classic. For newcomers, it’s a chance to fall in love; for PSP veterans, it’s a reunion with an old melody that still pulses with energy. In the end, Patapon reminds us that video games can also be poetry in motion, rhythm, and music turned into gameplay.”

Launch Window“Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade is a captivating visual experience, with an immersive soundtrack and good combat ideas. However, structural repetition and limited variety between runs prevent the game from reaching its full potential. Recommended especially for those who value art and style, but perhaps less suitable for those looking for mechanical innovation in roguelites.”

Launch Window“As a practitioner of physical activities, both at the gym and CrossFit for years, it’s quite clear that Fitness Boxing 3 is an excellent alternative for exercising in daily life. However, if you’re looking for greater results, it won’t replace the gym, for instance. That said, it can certainly be incorporated into your routine and help burn a good number of calories. On the downside, the lack of precision and the possibility of performing exercises incorrectly while still being rewarded with high scores can be a bit frustrating and make it harder to stay focused on the game.”
“A pleasant homage to the 2D The Legend of Zelda games, with a sense that the studio could be bolder in adding more of its own identity. Still, it delivers good fun in a short, simple game that ultimately proves satisfying.”
