“Considering the limited amount of content available at launch, it's hard to justify a $40 price tag for Painkiller. That said, its core gameplay remains fun and engaging, and with future content, it has the potential to become a solid co-op action experience.”

“Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree is an exciting roguelite action game filled with flashy spells, sword combos, and diverse characters brought to life with strong voice acting. Its colorful maps and fast-paced battles are enjoyable, but the game clearly isn’t built for two players; most mechanics fall on one person, leaving the other with little to do. Heavy reliance on luck and random card draws, along with a confusing upgrade system, hold it back. In the end, it’s a fast and stylish single-player roguelite that struggles to leave a lasting impression.”

“Built on Unreal Engine 5, Echoes of the End offers breathtaking visuals that often make you pause just to admire the scenery, but unfortunately, that's where the experience peaks. Beyond its stunning world, the game quickly unravels with stiff animations, a shallow story, and clunky, broken gameplay, serving as a reminder that great visuals alone can't carry a video game.”

“If we rewind the clock 25 years, Captain Blood might have stood out as one of the more entertaining games of the year 2000. But in 2025, it feels entirely outdated. There are tons of brutal action going on in the game, and that's about it. Every idea it brings to the table has been explored and surpassed long ago, leaving little reason to revisit this relic of the past.”

“Although some elements detract from the enjoyment of the game, the Commandos Origins experience and its engaging gameplay have the same feel and feel as its original versions, which is enough to keep gamers interested.”

“Koira excels at conveying deep, often indescribable emotions in a way that feels both accessible and profoundly moving. Combined with its stunning art direction, the game offers an incredible and memorable journey. However, when it comes to gameplay, it falls short. The mechanics lack the depth and variety needed to match the emotional and visual heights of the experience. Ultimately, Koira is a good game that is emotionally resonant and visually striking. Still, it doesn't bring anything particularly special to the table regarding gameplay.”

“It's been 22 years since The Thing's first release, and during this time the horror genre and the video game industry as a whole has seen massive changes both in terms of visuals and gameplay mechanisms. The Thing Remastered falls short when compared to modern standards and can't hold a candle to even mediocre horror games of modern times. However, if you fancy visiting the memory lane or want to see what older games have to offer, it might not be a bad idea to give The Thing a shot.”

“Ravenswatch is unique, stylish, and smooth, and its art style is irresistible. It is everything that you would want from an Action Rogulike and then some, and I'm sure you will fall in love with it if you give it a fair chance.”
