Latest: Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival

Neutral GameOct 15, 2026Score 83

“Hellraiser: Revival doesn’t try to be gentle or light: it wants to leave a mark. Its atmosphere, creature design and the Genesis Configuration box make for a brutal, unsettling slasher horror ride that could become a cult favorite, even if the combat can feel unfair at times.”

“Tenebris Somnia seamlessly blends 90s FMV adventure with pure survival horror dread. While combat has clunky moments, its stunning cinematics, smart puzzles, and gripping story make it a new horror classic.”

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.”

“Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea is a really cool game within a saga and genre, excellent for moments of relaxation and those in which we just want to connect with nature. Virtually, of course, because I'm running from mosquitoes, ticks, and other things of that nature.”

Latest: Disney/Pixar Toy Story: Retro Roundup!

Twisted VoxelOct 15, 2026Score 70

“The real appeal of Toy Story: Retro Roundup is seeing how wildly the same games could differ across consoles, with useful rewind and save features making these old favourites easier to revisit. Some handheld releases feel dated, but Toy Story 2 and the bonus A Bug's Life make this a worthwhile trip back.”

“With its charming concept and art style, Ratatan has a huge amount of appeal. However, its rogue-like structure makes it incredibly repetitive, leading to a certain weariness despite the game’s steadily increasing difficulty.”

“Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a wonderful gift for players who have grown bored with the 'realism' of Gran Turismo 7 and the search for any remotely interesting activities in Forza Horizon 6. Fuse Games has offered a chance to go back to the second half of the 2000s, when arcade racers were at their peak popularity and offered unusual gameplay solutions. Few are capable of that nowadays, so this chance is not to be missed.”

Latest: Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2

Gamer Social ClubOct 14, 2026Score 95

“Auroch Digital has yet again done the universe of Warhammer 40,000 justice. Boltgun 2 is a fantastic addition to the Story of Malum Caedo, and with the addition of Nyra Veyrath and her different approach and loadout, there is a lot of replayability. Boltgun 2 doesn’t do anything revolutionary, but it doesn’t need to. The formula for running and gunning is what is advertised, and it’s exactly what we got. I absolutely adored my time with Boltgun 2, and any fans of Warhammer or Boomer Shooters will not be disappointed.”

Digitale AnimeOct 14, 2026Score 80Pre-release Review

“"A classic adventure returns with a polished look" Tales of Eternia Remastered successfully preserves the essence of the original adventure—thanks to its engaging story, deep combat system, and diverse cast of characters—while introducing enhancements that make exploration and battles feel smoother on modern hardware. Despite lingering issues with repetition and limited visual upgrades, features such as adjustable difficulty and progression settings, along with the ability to disable random encounters, make the experience more convenient without compromising its identity. It is a fitting version for fans of classic RPGs, even if it does not offer a complete reinvention.”

EntreMandosOct 14, 2026Score 79

“This is a sequel well worth playing if you’re even remotely into boomer shooters. The subtle new features introduced—two characters, a branching campaign, and more—suit it perfectly and reinforce the already solid gameplay foundation that captivated thousands of players upon its release in 2013. Aside from needing a slight improvement in enemy AI, this is a highly entertaining title that will delight anyone who enjoys fast-paced first-person action.”

“There are lots of Metroidvania games out there these days, but it's hard to find one that nails Silver Pines' dark, moody vibes. The puzzles are never too difficult, the characters and story beats are well thought out, and the game's survival aspect never feels overly punishing. If you're looking for a creepy story and setting, with minimalist but sharp gameplay, Silver Pines could be your go-to title right now.”

Side ProjectOct 14, 2026Score 90

“From the high-level plot to gameplay that embraces both newcomers and veterans, to an exceptional technical department on PC, Ace Combat 8 represents a huge step forward. For the first time in the series, war isn't told only as a succession of military missions; it also makes room for the psychological consequences of the conflict, the weight of collective expectations, and the construction of heroes. All in all, Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is without the slightest doubt the best entry in the series.”
