Latest: Security 51

STWGames ItaliaAug 18, 2026Score 80

“Security 51 turns the mundane routine of a security guard into a tense bureaucratic thriller, sitting halfway between Papers, Please and the horrors of the SCP Foundation. Backed by a claustrophobic atmosphere that still knows when not to take itself too seriously, polished pixel art, and oppressive, Carpenter-esque soundscapes, Alawar’s title surprises with its variety: beyond stamping paperwork, you'll manage elevators, conduct bizarre cell experiments, and contain an outbreak with devastatingly weighty choices. Despite occasionally punishing difficulty and a core gameplay loop that might not win over those outside this niche, it remains a cynical and thoroughly successful inspection simulator—highly recommended for fans of the genre.”

Latest: MineGeon: Renegades

Netto’s Game RoomAug 18, 2026Score 60

“MineGeon: Renegades is an attempt at a very popular genre, clearly made by developers who are familiar with it and genuinely love it. The game almost lands the spaceship, but it ultimately falls flat because of its weak onboarding. If mechanics were explained to the player directly, the overall experience might land better than it does. It is filled with beautiful pixel art, wonderful music, and fun characters. If you enjoy bullet-hell games, I could recommend giving it a shot—though perhaps wait until you have nothing else in your backlog to play!”

“I don’t think anyone is going to find anything exactly new in Twisted Tower, but I think that’s the point. It’s a throwback to some of the best parts of the seventh generation first person shooters mixed with the some of the best parts of what is now called “boomer shooters” and Twisted Tower blends them well.”

GamingBoltAug 18, 2026Score 80

“The Sinking City 2 eschews its predecessor's investigative chops to present a more straightforward trek through a semi-open world flooded with things to discover and horrors to witness. This works well with a solid premise and compelling characters, making Arkham a Sinking City that feels dangerous while remaining mysterious enough to warrant further exploration.”

Latest: The Lord of the Rings: War in the North - Legacy Edition

PlayStation UniverseAug 18, 2026Score 75

“Sure it's more than a bit janky, the combat is a touch simplistic and the visuals, despite Aspyr's generous sprinkling of 4K resolution and 60 frames per second goodness upon them, still feel rather dated. Yet despite all of that, Lord of the Rings: War in the North feels oddly refreshing with its straightforward sensibilities and design resulting in an action RPG that remains good, solid fun - especially with friends and represents good value at its budget, sub $20 price point. Overall, it's just nice to have a decent Lord of the Rings game doing the rounds again, don't you think?”

“Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is another masterpiece from Arc System Works. The Japanese developers, who specialize in fighting games, have created a title brimming with love for the Marvel universe, featuring meticulous attention to detail in the design of each hero and an incredibly layered combat system that adapts to any type of player-from beginners to experts, as well as those who prefer to fight with a single character or manage an entire team.”

“Madden 27 is the fifth consecutive year in which the on-field experience has been foundationally sound and improves on its predecessor. It’s a heartening trajectory for a series I’ve spent my life playing, through both good and bad eras.”

Latest: Feed It

Checkpoint GamingAug 18, 2026Score 75

“FEED IT takes something painfully complex and distils it into a surreal horror experience without losing sight of the disturbing realities. It focuses on psychological abuse, control and survival then lets the low-fi visual atmosphere do the work. It’s quick, but branching endings and its meaningful themes make its hour-long runtime worthwhile. Short, nasty and very uneasy but sometimes that's exactly what horror needs to be.”

“Visually, the game is one of its strongest aspects. Unreal Engine 5 creates a convincing, drowning Lovecraftian city, although technical issues, performance drops, and occasional visual problems prevent it from feeling completely polished.”

The Beta NetworkAug 18, 2026Score 90

“The Sinking City 2 is a huge improvement over its predecessor. It trades much of its detective-focused identity for a tense and atmospheric survival-horror experience that wears its Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Dead Space influences proudly. While the story ultimately fails to leave much of an impression, the excellent combat, clever exploration and suitably creepy rendition of Arkham make this one hell of a good time. Frogwares may have sacrificed some of the original’s unique personality, but in return they’ve created a much better survival-horror game. And honestly, who can argue with that?”

“Wild Blue Skies was a bittersweet experience for me. While I am a fan of shooters and enjoyed the adventure, its inspiration from Star Fox goes beyond mere homage; it features moments that replicate patterns so closely they stifle the game's potential originality, from the narrative to the level design. That said, if you have never played the Nintendo title, it is worth taking a chance on these blue skies.”
