“If there is any positive in Traysia, it’s that the game is mercifully short, clocking in at around ten hours to complete, and for those playing on PlayStation, completing the game will also give a Platinum trophy for one’s troubles. Traysia is a relic with nothing to offer anyone, as it struggles to have an identity beyond being a piece of lost history brought back for preservation.”

“Jupiter understands very well how to turn a simple puzzle game into something that provides not only hours of playtime, but also changes things up to make them interesting and fun. Couple this with a good dose of nostalgia via Konami retro titles, and there it is: the perfect, (mostly) relaxing, nostalgia-inducing puzzle game to fill your evenings!”

“More than just a game, Mixtape is a mirror held up to our past. With rare subtlety and authenticity, it rekindles the fire of our teenage rebellions, the thrill of breaking the rules, and that wild carefree spirit that defined our first friendships.”

“In a game industry where everything is changing one way or another and undergoing a fundamental paradigm shift, Beethoven & Dinosaur deserves praise for taking an active role in this transformation instead of taking refuge in the comfort of uniformity. Mixtape stands as an important example of how independent game development, with the right project management, can achieve both cinematic creativity and a modest, heartfelt style of storytelling at the same time.”

““Adorable Adventures” is a warm, atmospheric cozy adventure that works best when you embrace its slow pace. For its modest scope, it offers a heartfelt, relaxed journey ideal for one or two evenings.”

“Mixtape is successful because it fully embraces who it is. It knows it's an emotional, music-driven experience, all about mood and memories, and it doesn't change its mind very often. In the end, Mixtape doesn't feel much like a normal video game. It's more like finding an old box of memories in the back of a room and opening it again.”

“To call Mixtape a ride is a little one-dimensional, as there are so many feelings to be had on the way. A ‘joyride’ fits Mixtape slightly better. A joyride with a tailor-made Greatest Hits tape playing along.”

“Despite the limited gameplay and slightly repetitive nature of wandering around rooms to click on objects, Mixtape is an experience I’ll remember for a long while. The sharp dialogue that feels real and stays the right side of grating, easy-going storytelling, excellent soundtrack, and supreme confidence to play around with the medium make Mixtape well worth tuning into, even if some will be put off by a perceived lack of things to do. I still haven’t really figured out if Mixtape is a video game, but I do know that I thoroughly recommend you give it a spin.”

“Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth is a cozy game that feels like stepping into a beautifully edited storybook. Its gentle atmosphere makes it perfect for families to enjoy together, while themes of friendship and growth blend naturally with light interactive elements, creating the feeling of playing through a fairy tale being read aloud.”

But Why Tho?May 7, 2026Score 80

“Mixtape offers a unique experience, even if it looks familiar at first. The narrative approach to memory and growing up creates a coming-of-age story that weaves through the messiness of teenage emotions. While the very small amount of gameplay can feel repetitive, the story mitigates that weakness.”

ShacknewsMay 7, 2026Score 80

“Memories of Celceta isn’t my favorite Ys game, but if you have a Switch 2, Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta is probably the best way to play it. It’s a Vita game very much of its time, with some growing pains as a Ys entry, but the extra juice you get from Nintendo’s new platform helps realize the original vision as a 3D Ys delivering a higher fidelity experience on a handheld.”

Latest: Everything is Crab

TheSixthAxisMay 7, 2026Score 80Pre-release Review

“Everything Is Crab is one of those games where you really get the whole game in the first run. If you like that first attempt, and the general vibe you're getting, then you're going to enjoy run after run. However, if you're hoping for more than what that first play session offers, you're going to find the game to be a little bit lacking. Still, it's a lot of fun if you're looking for a more pure arcade experience in your roguelike, and if you like seeing the horrifying monster your little blue blob can become once you've eaten half of a planet.”

VDGMSMay 7, 2026Score 100

“Mixtape is barely a game. It’s an artful escape, an experience, a coming of age VHS classic that has been converted to the interactive medium of video games. Gameplay is almost non existent, which is only one of the reasons that Mixtape will be divisive. The setting is the end of summer 1999 and might not be fully appreciated by everyone because all of the pop culture references, as well as the sublime soundtrack is mostly from the 80’s and 90’s. Mixtape is also short at around 4 hours with minimal reason for return. If all of those reasons don't dissaude you and you’re lucky enough to find yourself in the very small inner circle of the Venn diagram for who it’s is intended for, Mixtape has no equal, as it blurs the lines of game, music and film.”

“Mixtape's style, soundtrack and unique storytelling flair all combine to elicit feelings both new and long forgotten. Simple moments make you appreciate life for what it is: a continuous evolution rather than a static state of being. Our adolescent selves relished in that freedom, and Mixtape seeks to recapture the magic.”

“Mixtape is an adventure specifically for those of us who grew up in the angsty 90s. For those players, the top-tier soundtrack selection and unpacking themes you may have been avoiding for a few decades is going to hit very hard. For others, the rose-tinted glasses and hammy dialogue may feel distant or indulgent. Just like an actual mixtape someone makes for you, not every track lands. But it’s so clearly made with love, and the tracks that do will stay with you long after it’s over.”
