Latest: Tales of Eternia Remastered

Just Play itOct 16, 2026Score 80

“Tales of Eternia Remastered brings back one of the most memorable adventures in the Tales of series, with its touching story, enjoyable combat system, and beautiful art direction. Despite some outdated design elements and improvements that don’t cover every aspect of the game, it manages to preserve the charm of the original while delivering a classic experience that is still worth discovering.”

Duuro MagazineOct 16, 2026Score 65

“Odd Town is difficult to recommend broadly. Its unusual visuals, charming animations, and strange inhabitants give it an identity I appreciate, and there is fun here once its rules make sense. The onboarding and controller feel make reaching that point harder than it should be. If its particular brand of weirdness appeals to you, you might enjoy the visit. I would understand just as easily if you decided to leave early.”

Latest: Spy Drops Gaiden

Cubed3Oct 16, 2026Score 70

“Spy Drops Gaiden is a competent and well made retro stealth action game. It's a bit of a lightweight compared to something like Ghost Babel, which was stuffed to the brim with content and interesting challenges, but it's also priced accordingly. The whole thing is over in a couple of hours and ends when things get interesting. With a solid foundation in place, adding more areas and puzzle-like environments could unlock great potential for similar games.”

“While the single-player campaign is somewhat goofy and can be fun, a lack of direction, the very close camera, and confusion reign in multiplayer”

Latest: The Witch's Bakery

Nintendo LifeOct 16, 2026Score 80

“On the surface, The Witch's Bakery is a simple cosy adventure sim about a young witch running a bakery. But bite into those flaky pastry layers and you'll find a creamy centre: a narratively strong game with mental health themes. The emotional issues are handled gently, never oversimplified, and feel universal.Between Lunne 'curing' customers' Regrets and the bigger, darker storylines, this 15-hour game acknowledges that emotions are tough, and that there is no magic fix. Still, it's a reminder that when everything seems terrible, sometimes all you need is a friend to listen – and a little sweet treat.”

“HORSE CLUB Ride West offers a charming Wild West setting and six different horses, but a thin story, frequent crashes and bugs that can block 100% completion keep it from matching its good predecessor.”

Chicas GamersOct 16, 2026Score 84

“Silver Pines is a fascinating blend of classic survival horror and Metroidvania that stands out for its intriguing narrative, extraordinary art direction, and an atmosphere evocative of the genre's greatest icons. Although its gameplay leaves room for improvement and its influences occasionally wear on its sleeve, Wych Elm succeeds in crafting an experience with a distinct identity that will thoroughly delight fans of psychological horror.”

Latest: over the hill

EvilgamerzOct 15, 2026Score 69

“Over the Hill is a nice, cozy game where exploration, leisurely driving, and small terrain challenges blend well. The attractive design and excellent music make traversing nature a pleasant experience, while rewards and upgrades keep you occupied along the way. The stuttering music and unclear commentary are a shame, but they hardly got in the way of my enjoyment. However, it does feel like the world and vehicle customizations could offer even more possibilities, and that a major update could make this a more substantial game. Those who mainly drive from one mission to the next will therefore sometimes miss some variety. With friends, the game will be much more fun for chatting together. Give yourself the space to wander around and try a tricky slope, and Over the Hill truly shines. Just perhaps you shouldn't take that tempting shortcut through the trees.”

Latest: Gears of War: E-Day

BazimagOct 15, 2026Score 85

“Gears of War: E-Day is precisely the turning point this storied franchise needed after years of trial and error—a glorious, dark, and visceral return to the authentic roots of a series defined by raw brutality and grueling combat. By reviving the heavy, terrifying weight of warfare, seamlessly blending modern movement with a dynamic, destructible cover system, and delivering one of this generation's most breathtaking visual showcases via Unreal Engine 5, The Coalition once again elevates the standard for third-person shooters. While underdeveloped chemistry between young Marcus and Dom, repetitive side quests, and a slight dip in late-game enemy variety hold it back from absolute perfection, the harrowing fall of Kalona alongside addictive gunplay, exceptional pacing, and a rich multiplayer suite make E-Day a gripping, bone-chilling triumph. It is a masterclass in gunpowder and gore that proves the Gears name still demands absolute reverence”

“Frosthaven has been a fun time to play, with no bugs to speak of. The visuals are clean from the simple map you see on the over world, to the isometric battle fields you fight on. You can tell the devs put a lot of time into making the world feel as real as possible. And the sounds are crisp, not to mention that the narration for the events and fights are beautiful.”

PNNOct 15, 2026Score 80

“While the base game offered the fun of slowly exploring a vast world, it was bound to be divisive due to its slow progression and convenience issues. It seems this expansion pack chose to increase gameplay density with richer content rather than altering the unique characteristics of the base game. In that it more clearly demonstrated the charm of combat and exploration that 'Dragon's Dogma 2' possesses.”
