“After previewing MY HERO ACADEMIA: All's Justice in early January, the early showing promised plenty to do in this game. As this game captures the epic finale”

“A.I.L.A told a predictable yet relevant story, but flew a little too close to the sun by implementing too many good features versus narrowing on making a few outstanding moments.”

“Echoes of the End is a cinematic third-person action-adventure game, blending puzzle and sword-based combat.”

“Gori: Cuddly Carnage was an indie game that meow-ed its way to the top despite its technical frustrations.”

“Princess Maker 2 Regeneration was a prime reminder that some things do not need a re-release, despite some artistic additions.”

“SPYxANYA: Operation Memories leaned heavy into Anya’s cuteness, the minigames were pretty detailed but everything else was monotonous.”

“Men of War II stuck to its nostalgic roots too closely, failing to bring anything new—other than cleaning up its clunky interface from previous games.”

“The visuals, music and game mechanics for Endless Dungeon were magnificent achievements, but the technical aspects should be prioritized before the official release.”

“PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo had an immersive mystery story, along with utilizing 2D visual novel features that amplified its overall quality.”

“The world of Elderand tickled my fancy from the beginning to the end, and kept me coming back to pick it up with its fairly standard battle mechanics and replayability factors.”

“There was a lot of replayability factors in Floodland I loved, and a strong political message. If you love micromanagement games, this had a treasure-trove worth of content.”

“Stranded: Alien Dawn was an exceptionally crafted survival, base-building simulator game that I could not out down, and it has only been in early access.”

“The attention to customizability and accessibility of Galahad 3093 showcased how a mech-shooting game does not need to prioritize great graphics over a game playable for everyone.”

“Ikai had a great first half with great pacing and providing enough mystery and heart-racing moments but fizzled out by the end.”

“Zorya: The Celestial Sisters is a great game to play for all ages with its easy mechanics, compelling visuals, story and soundtrack—I hope there will be DLC for more maps as I can keep playing this over and over.”

“The sci-fi environment piqued my interest, the levelling up system was great, but everything else was nothing out of the ordinary.”

“Hockey is a sport that’s very confined to skating on a set rink with a standard 5 vs 5 player configuration. NHL 22 brings all the different styles the game can be played with superstar abilities tailored to the different hockey niches all gamers can appreciate.”
