So Many GamesApr 27, 2026Score 70

“It’s impossible to have a bad time playing Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth. Gorgeous artwork coupled with high-quality writing makes it genuinely feel like a storybook made interactive, without leaning too far in and making it incomprehensible to Moomin neophytes. It’s not breaking new ground as a video game by any means, but for anyone craving a low-stakes and thoughtful puzzle adventure, you can’t do much better than this.”

Latest: MOUSE: P.I. For Hire

Eternal GamesApr 26, 2026Score 90

“MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is considered an exceptional experience that succeeded in providing a unique blend between nostalgia and modern gameplay mechanics. The developer was able to craft a fun and addictive gameplay style, supported by excellent variety in weapons and deep upgrade systems that give the experience additional value. The game's greatest achievement lies in its stunning artistic direction; as it revived the aesthetics of 1930s classic cartoons with superb craftsmanship and merged them with dark Noir atmospheres to create a world unlike anything else. It is not just a shooter game, but a hand-drawn work of art that reflects great passion in execution, making it one of the most distinctive games in its category.”

“Pragmata succeeds where many fail: delivering an experience that is at once accessible, intelligent, and emotional. Its hybrid gameplay holds up over time, its progression system encourages improvement, and above all, its central duo lingers in your mind long after the credits roll. It may not be the most spectacular game of recent years, but it is clearly one of the most sincere—and sometimes, that’s exactly what matters.”

“The world of Opus: Prism Peak is a finely crafted tale that ebbs and flows with wrenching and heavy emotion not often felt in many forms of media these days. I kindly recommend Eugene's story to anyone ready to take the plunge into a new world that threatens to pull you in and never let go of the heart it exposes in you.”

“Saros stands out as an exceptional roguelite, built around a life‑and‑death cycle that’s as addictive as it is relentless. The constant urge for “just one more run” speaks to its finely tuned design, while the stunning visuals elevate the experience into something truly memorable. It’s a must‑play for fans of the genre and one of the year’s essential releases.”

Latest: Sudden Strike 5

PragaliciousApr 25, 2026Score 70

“I’d been hoping for a solid comeback for this series, but Sudden Strike 5 goes above and beyond. It perfectly captures why classic PC strategy games were once so beloved, and modernises just enough without losing its identity. This isn’t a game for everyone, and it doesn’t need to be. For players who love tactical battles, tension and a victory you really have to earn, this is a must-play. Sudden Strike 5 is old-school in exactly the right ways.”

Latest: Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors

Gamer Social ClubApr 25, 2026Score 85

“Vampire Crawlers is a wonderful follow-up to a game I hold dear. It translates seamlessly from the bullet-heaven genre into the deck building genre. While there are a few frustrating levels and as of now a lack of endgame content to keep me going, there’s enough here to justify playing this for hours on end and keep you engaged. If you’re a fan of Slay the Spire or Balatro, Vampire Crawlers is absolutely a must grab, even if you have no prior experience with Vampire Survivors.”

“Vampire Crawlers’ deck-building gameplay is incredibly smart, and the runs never feel like they stretch for too long. It takes every smart decision made in Vampire Survivors and translates it beautifully to a new style of gameplay. Even if you’re not usually a fan of roguelites or deck-builders, you need to try Vampire Crawlers.”

“Too many puzzles, too many metaphors, too many systems and ideas layered on top of a core loop that didn't need them. Trim some of the fat, and this is a standout. As it stands, though, it's a flawed gem.”

“Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream offers an almost limitless toy box of creativity and player expression, held together by a distinct and wonderful sense of humour that still manages to delight me just as much as it did 12 years ago. With the exception of some restrictions and cut features that feel like they are yet to be added, this feels like the ambitious game that the series has been building towards since its inception.”

“Playing Pragmata was one of the best video game experiences I've had in recent times. The story is engaging, the gameplay is fun, the scenarios are varied, the visuals – relying on the power of the RE Engine – are gorgeous, the soundtrack and sound effects are really cool, and there's plenty to discover and unlock. If that technical excellence wasn't enough, we're treated to super charismatic characters who interact and behave in a very believable way. It's fair to say that the dynamic between Hugh and Diana is the icing on the cake.”

Lords Of Gaming Apr 24, 2026Score 90

“As someone who has been following this Feperd Game’s work over the years, it’s beautiful to see the evolution of Spark as a series. Originating as a simple ability that Sonic utilized in Sonic After the Sequel, evolving into the unique speedy platformer of Spark 1, and making the successful grand leap into 3D with Spark 2, it’s amazing seeing the quality on display in Spark the Electric Jester 3. It’s a master class in speedy 3D platforming, taking the best elements from Sonic’s past and combining them with fresh ideas and concepts. And with the game feeling great to play on both Nintendo Switch platforms, Spark 3 is a speedy adventure I can easily recommend to anyone who loves running under sparkly blue skies.”
