“A.I.L.A confirms Pulsatrix Studios as one of the most promising studios in the horror genre. With its approach of paying tribute to classic games while setting the story in a modern context, the title maintains constant suspense and offers an experience sure to please fans of this style.”

“Despite its unique setting, excellent soundtrack, and original ideas, Morsels loses much of its fun by explaining almost nothing about its mechanics and excessively punishing players who insist on trying to understand them.”

“King of Meat is a fun cooperative experience with the potential to become even better, provided it receives the necessary support from the developer to improve the progression system and has an active community to keep the game updated with new scenarios.”

“Gloomy Eyes features an engaging narrative and creative puzzles. Even though it's a brief experience, its gameplay delivers enough to please those looking for a lighthearted adventure with a mysterious atmosphere.”

“Combining tension and fun, Midnight Murder Club offers an affordable price and works very well when played with friends, although its lack of content limits long-term interest.”

“Fantasy Finds adds a wealth of expeditions and items to Two Point Museum through a fun theme. Additionally, new mechanics involving specialists and potion creation refresh the gameplay with RPG-inspired elements, making this expansion a must-have for all Two Point County curators.”

“Overture expands the combat options in Lies of P by introducing new weapons, accessories, and thrilling boss battles. Additionally, the DLC plays a key role in deepening the story of central characters while adding new layers to the rich and dark world of Krat.”

“Cuisineer is a charming food management game that uses a combat and dungeon exploration system to present a fun and creative proposition. However, the lack of alternatives to keep it interesting in the face of a tiring grind to reach the end of the campaign leaves the main dish of this appetizing menu a little bitter.”

“As much as Planet Zoo: Console Edition may seem complicated, those who are willing to learn its main mechanics will be facing not only a great simulator, but also a game that uses its concept to introduce important topics about environmental awareness.”

“Ravenswatch is a roguelike that stands out for presenting distorted versions of well-known characters and placing them in a very well-idealized dark world. The various possibilities of builds enhanced by the cast of characters and modifiers guarantee a good replay factor, especially when played in a group. But some updates with more content are necessary for the game to remain interesting in the long run.”

“In a genre as crowded as the metroidvanias, Nine Sols shines with rewarding combat mechanics, challenging battles, and a gripping story that unites concepts of religion and science to create a unique setting.”

“Mea Culpa brings good content to Blasphemous 2, especially for those who want to relive the experience of a new campaign. For those who prefer to focus only on paid content, the return of the legendary Penitent's sword and the addition of new areas and challenges guarantee a few hours of fun, despite leaving the impression of being a short expansion.”

“Potionomics: Masterwork Edition is the definitive version of a great simulator. The addition of voice acting for the excellent characters and different levels of difficulty, in addition to the great mechanics of economic management, potion creation and deck building, confirm that this is a game that cannot be left out by fans of the genre.”

“Wildermyth: Console Edition is one of the best digital representations of traditional tabletop RPGs. The way the development of the campaigns and characters works guarantees hours of gameplay and makes you feel attached to your heroes and the great stories of the Yondering Lands. It's a shame that technical problems hinder part of the experience.”

“Card-en-Ciel can be considered a great option for fans of deck-building roguelites and also JRPGs. The impressive variety of cards and the various mechanics involved mean that the game never becomes repetitive.”

“Drova: Forsaken Kin is a pixel art RPG with some qualities enough to pay a good tribute to the classics of the genre, but which ends up hindered by confusing navigation and the numerous barriers placed to delay the player's progression.”

“Remnant II: The Dark Horizon expands the arsenal of weapons and items and explores a new story on the planet of N'erud by introducing more locomotion mechanics that often complicate navigation unnecessarily. The Warden is an interesting archetype especially for solo players and the addition of the boss rush mode exploits the replay factor of the game considerably.”

“Bloomtown: A Different Story combines qualities from several genres, but it does so in a very competent way. With its turn-based combat system reinforced by the demons' abilities, a story that addresses important themes in a light-hearted way, and very interesting social management, it becomes an RPG that deserves the attention of fans of the genre.”

“Caravan SandWitch was supposed to be a relaxing game about exploring a planet aboard a van. But instead, the repetition of scenarios and the limitations imposed by a system of collecting components required to proceed in the story hinder a considerable part of the experience.”

“Shogun Showdown is a turn-based strategy roguelite that will definitely require all your concentration to overcome your biggest challenges. The large number of weapons and skills, as well as a great setting inspired by Japanese culture, allow the game to hold your attention for many hours.”
