“Dark Auction is a visual novel with gameplay elements that reward observant players while the plot and cast come together in an intriguing way to deliver story twists that you'll never see coming. 🏷️”

“Secrets of Blackrock Manor - Escape Room is a short and enjoyable virtual rendition of the classic escape room formula. It can be quite tricky and rewarding but some aspects could be streamlined to improve the overall experience. 🗝️”

“Syberia - Remastered is a classic adventure game and this new iteration certainly delivers a unique clockpunk aesthetic that the series is known for. It's still difficult to move around and there are bugs but if you're a fan of adventure games, you'll be happy to play this. 🤖”

“Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition is a disappointing farming sim that doesn't do much to keep you coming back. There are many better games out there that deserve your attention including The Winds of Anthos so ignore this and go pick that up. 🐄”

“Tales of Xillia Remastered is one of my personal favourite Tales games so if you're a fellow fan, this version contains plenty of quality of life upgrades that definitely make it worth getting so you can spend even more time with Milla and Jude. ⚔️”

“Agatha Christie - Death on the Nile is a funky fresh twist on the classic novel that presents 2 very different but intertwining storylines and a variety of elaborate puzzles. If you're a fan of detective games at all then you can't miss this one.”

“Ritual of Raven is a charming farming sim with a strong emphasis on the quests and story side of the equation with clever puzzles to boot. 🐦”

“Fast Fusion offers a lot of fast-paced fun and is a great showcase for the power of Nintendo Switch 2 with its selection of stunning courses. 🏎️”

“Fruitbus deserves great praise for its adorable graphics, heartfelt story, and relaxing yet entertaining gameplay. However, it should have baked in the oven a little longer while working out its oodles of glitches that frequently take away from the lighthearted fun. 🍌”

“With a slew of destinations, contracts, and targets to entertain you, HITMAN World of Assassination - Signature Edition provides hours and hours of top-notch sandbox stealth gameplay so get to it and start killing, chums! 👨‍🦲”

“The story is fun to watch unfold and it has many entertaining gameplay segments, too; that is, if you have patience for the more frustrating moments. 🏃‍♂️”

“Lost Records: Bloom & Rage - Tape 2 answers some questions and fails to deliver on other plot points. Although it provides a lot of optional endings and you learn more about Kat's life, the abundant glitches make it an only somewhat satisfying ending to the summer of '95. 📼”

“Although it's relatively short, Amerzone - The Explorer's Legacy is an engaging adventure with an interesting story; making it worth the effort to power the Hydrafloat along the river and save a dying species. 🥚”

“Dungeon exploring in Cuisineer is a frantic challenge and the enemies are so adorable that you'll keep wanting to go back. I wish running the restaurant was just as fun, though, as it can get repetitive; I'd rather stare at the delicious recipe book than managing the business. 🍳”

“RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic's included games were a ton of fun when they originally released and they still are now, especially when you get to enjoy the content of the 2 classics and their expansions all in one convenient and streamlined package. 🎢”

“Farmagia is a cute dungeon crawler that has you control dozens of harvested battle buddies at once. Although it may look like there's a lot going on, it gets repetitive quickly and it frankly didn't do enough to keep me interested. 🐺”

“WitchSpring R is a delightful turn-based RPG with oodles of heart and humour and an enjoyable battle system to boot. It stumbles in a few areas and lacks balance but this sweet treat will still be a delicious addition to any RPG fan's library. 🥧”

“Creatures of Ava is a colourful and fun adventure game that offers a refreshing take on combat. Conservationism never felt so fun! 🎶”

“I'm surprised by how much fun I had with Elrentaros Wanderings. Although it has limited gameplay, what's here is satisfying and its addictive blend of upgrading weapons with loot and completing challenges kept me coming back for more. ⚔️”

“I was pleasantly surprised with how much fun the mellow journey within Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure is. Once I picked it up, I found myself not wanting to put it down as it rewards you for almost everything you do and it has a long list of activities and items to keep you busy. Hopefully, the developers iron out the glitches soon as this cosy game is certainly something special. 🏝️”
