“Still, from a critical view, the strong themes don’t make up for the simple gameplay. As a game I reviewed on Nintendo Switch 2, which caters to a younger audience, I appreciate the gentle approach and safe emotional space that kids can still enjoy, but you’ll also notice the missed chance for deeper tension. Imagine if the weather really changed your path, or if your choices about helping others or rebuilding changed the story’s mood. While the story works, I can't help but feel that it was mostly in one tone. Winter Burrow understands mood, framing a story, and emotional subtext, but never really experiments with its own language the way I would have liked. It’s thoughtful, visually articulate, and occasionally poignant...just not ambitious enough in its mechanics or narrative structure to step from “good” into “great.””

“Double Dragon Revive punches its way back into the spotlight with smooth performance, deep combat, and a healthy dose of nostalgia. It’s a fun, interactive, and well-built brawler that honours its roots while embracing modern polish, even if its story and structure play it safe.”

“Dead Take understands that true fear comes not from monsters, but from the reflection of our own doubts and desires. It’s elegant, unnerving, and utterly captivating. With its breathtaking visuals, emotionally charged performances, and a story that prioritizes slow-burn tension over cheap scares, Dead Take stands as one of the best psychological horror titles in recent memory. A few technical flaws and punishing puzzles slightly dull its polish, but its mastery of atmosphere and storytelling make it a haunting experience worth exploring.”

“With ICE-Q 2.0 at its core, NHL 26 delivers smarter AI, more authentic skating, and a Be A Pro mode that finally feels meaningful. While a few visual shortcomings remain, the combination of realism, depth, and pure hockey excitement makes this one of the best entries in the series’ modern era.”

“Wreckfest 2 delivers spectacular destruction, detailed damage modelling, and aggressive AI that make every race unpredictable and exhilarating. Though still light on content, its technical foundation and visual fidelity show incredible promise for full release.”

“Sonokuni delivers fast-paced, stylish combat, an incredible soundtrack, and a high skill ceiling that rewards mastery. While its story is minimal and its difficulty intense, its audiovisual design and gameplay precision make it one of the most memorable indie action games of the year.”

“Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: The Order of Giants is a powerful reminder of what makes adventure games great. It’s cinematic, intelligent, and packed with charm. The puzzles are some of the best in the series, the writing is sharp, and the world feels alive with historical intrigue.”

“Otherskin delivers strong world design, striking visuals, and fun morphing mechanics that feel pulled from the golden age of adventure gaming. But severe optimization problems, repetitive combat, and unpolished gameplay prevent it from reaching its full potential. If patched, it could become a cult favourite for now, it’s a beautiful but broken journey.”

“Karma: The Dark World is a haunting and visually breathtaking psychological thriller. With stunning presentation, top-tier voice acting, and a deeply emotional narrative, it stands as one of the most memorable and meaningful gaming experiences in years. While its slower pace and heavy story focus may not appeal to everyone, for fans of atmospheric and narrative-driven adventures, it’s nothing short of remarkable.”

“Hirogami blends origami artistry with platforming creativity, offering a relaxing and visually stunning adventure filled with clever transformations. Its gorgeous presentation, great sound design, and beginner-friendly gameplay make it easy to love, even if uneven difficulty and repetitive music hold it back from greatness.”

“Overall I would say that Just Dance 2026 Edition is a solid addition to the Just Dance lineup. It stays true to the game franchises' roots while introducing fresh new tracks and game modes that keep the fun going. If you are a known Just Dance lover, it's an easy add to your collection. If you just want a game that gets you dancing, introduces you to new genres, and offers welcoming gameplay for all skill levels, definitely try it out.”

“It is a heartfelt, cozy, and impressive creative playground, especially remarkable for a solo developer, and a fantastic pick for anyone who loves to design at their own pace. I recommend you try it for yourself and let me know what you build.”

“It’s a brief but memorable slice of teen life, with enough heart and humour to make me want to revisit the first game to see what I missed. If you’re looking for something short, sweet, and inclusive, this one’s worth a spot in your library.”

“CritterGarden is a pleasant and fun game that combines farming, science, and resource management to create a fun and engaging experience. It's easy to pick up but has enough complexity to keep you engaged for many hours. I'd rate it a 7.5 out of 10 and suggest it to anyone who enjoys relaxing games with some challenge and likes creature collecting. Be warned, though, that you'll be doing a lot of small tasks and could find yourself losing hours playing as you work in your alien garden.”

“Creature Keeper is a new spin on monster-taming, bursting with heart, clever writing, and a gameplay loop that kept me coming back for 'just one more creature”

“If you’re ready to dive into a world where corporate chaos meets "Blade Runner-esque" existential dread—and maybe laugh along the way—this game is absolutely worth your time.”

“A visually stunning, technically accurate, and spiritually soothing photography simulator that’s as educational as it is beautiful. It won’t be for everyone — but for those who understand the joy of seeing, it’s an unforgettable journey.”

“If you are interested in playing a game that sends players back to the nostalgic age of Game Boy gaming but also adds enough adult humour to take the experience past the realm of mere childhood nostalgia, I'd suggest The Edge of Allegoria. Leave your sensibilities at the door, grab a snack (you'll find lots on your gaming journey), and prepare for a unique nostalgia trip.”

“If you need something to boost your productivity or just want something to bring that homey vibe into work sessions, Spirit City: Lofi Sessions is well worth trying.”

“With its fascinating and thought-provoking narrative, perceptive themes that prompt introspective reflection, and the surprising effect it has had on my personal perspective. This is a richly rewarding, intensely layered game that impressively highlights video games' capabilities as a viable and efficient medium for conveying complicated and mature narratives.”
