“Moomintroll: Winter Warmth is a cozy adventure that occasionally leans into repetition, but it delivers meaningful lessons about coexistence, privilege, friendship, and much more.”

TheSixthAxisApr 29, 2026Score 60

“Tides of Tomorrow is a good story that's alternately helped and hindered by its asynchronous multiplayer. It enables some compelling gameplay options but sometimes takes agency away from the player as relying on other players means you can't really do anything yourself a lot of the time. The story can also contradict itself sometimes due to the nature of the gameplay. It's enjoyable despite this, though it starts to outstay its welcome towards the end.”

“Aphelion had everything it needed to be a good game. A beautiful world, an intriguing narrative premise, and solid performances. Somewhere along the way, someone decided that was enough, and released a product whose core gameplay simply doesn’t work. Don’t Nod unfortunately failed here.”

“Pragmata is a great new IP for Capcom that mixes hacking and shooting in a really innovative combat system that doesn't overstay its welcome and keeps things fresh, although spongy enemies and repetitive scenarios hold the full experience back.”

“Despite recommending the experience, I have several reservations. Even though these points are common in the market, I believe there's an artistic tradition that should raise the bar for quality. The title intrigued me during the experience, but now I'm looking forward to a new game from the team that goes further, breaking free from a self-explanatory need that condescends to the player instead of provoking and challenging them.”

Latest: The Day I Became a Bird

Play Watch ReadApr 29, 2026Score 70

“The Day I Became a Bird is an atmospheric, minimalist game that revolves around experience rather than challenge. With its dreamy visual style, subtle sound design and poetic storytelling, the game transports you into a tranquil, interpretive experience. The focus is on atmosphere, emotion and discovery, which makes it special, but not equally accessible for every player.”

Latest: Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors

TheGamerApr 29, 2026Score 90

“All in all, Vampire Crawlers is a tremendous achievement. Everything here works almost flawlessly, with a gameplay loop that is quick, sharp, and smart. Genre transitions within the same game series rarely work so wonderfully, but Luca Galante and Poncle have created an incredible experience that will make you crave more, even if it overstays its welcome a tad for completionists.”

Latest: Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream

GamerFocusApr 29, 2026Score 75

“Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream tries not to stray too far from the 3DS formula, but it's far more interactive and doesn't rely solely on menus. Its first-person perspective draws the player closer to their Mii's life, although the repetitive sequences do eventually dampen the initial spark. Even so, it's a game with hilarious and equally bizarre touches, extensive customization options, and, with a good choice of Mii, it's sure to bring smiles and laughter to its players.”

CerealkillerzApr 29, 2026Score 83Pre-release Review

“After around 20 hours of playtime, Saros turns out to be a solid Returnal 1.5 but unfortunately not much more than that. The new approach to the game structure and the inclusion of rather generic NPCs make the experience feel less mysterious and somewhat diluted compared to its outstanding predecessor. However, if you can live with a simpler story and are open to new gameplay ideas, you will definitely have just as much fun here as you did with Returnal.”

“Don't Nod is back, and they're doing it in style! Aphelion is a title we've come to appreciate for its top-notch storytelling, above-average scientific accuracy, and a thoroughly impressive technical execution. It's a game we'd recommend not only to sci-fi fans but also to anyone looking to enjoy a great adventure story—just the right length and with well-balanced difficulty. Finally, the price is the classic cherry on top of a delicious cake! It’s a shame that, unlike the developer’s other IPs, there won’t be a sequel.”

“Aphelion may stumble in its mechanics, but when it places focus on the storytelling, atmosphere and spectacle, it’s exactly the kind of experience DON’T NOD excels at. It’s intriguing, mysterious and clever - we just wish it was tighter in terms of save points and how the gameplay is handled.”

“DON'T NOD delivers a linear, narrative-driven space adventure focused on the connection between its two protagonists. While it shows excellent direction and great characterization, it stumbles on a basic level design, repetitive gameplay, and an underdeveloped story plot. A flawed yet very fascinating interstellar journey.”
