“Enshrouded is a remarkable survival-crafting game that successfully blends ARPG elements with the survival genre to create a distinct, fantastic, and memorable experience. Although still in Early Access, its content is so vast that it can keep you entertained for dozens, even hundreds, of hours.”

“Static Dread: The Lighthouse is a Lovecraftian title with an intriguing premise that ultimately fails to turn its idea into a worthwhile experience due to overly simplistic gameplay systems and weak writing.”

“If you're looking for a title to switch off your mind for a short while and simply enjoy an engaging, atmospheric narrative on a lazy afternoon, then The Last Case of John Morley can truly be a fitting and memorable choice.”

“"Total Chaos" is a psychological indie horror that trades jump scares for deep atmosphere, exploring themes of madness and isolation. Despite some technical flaws, it delivers a profoundly unsettling experience, even for non-horror fans.”

“The return of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2 provides an opportunity to revisit one of the most important reboots in video game history. Despite being over a decade old, this version still demonstrates why Lara Croft is regarded as one of the few truly timeless female characters. Overall, this edition is a mix of strengths and weaknesses. However, for fans looking to experience one of the industry's most significant reboots in portable form, it remains a worthwhile option—provided expectations are kept realistic.”

“Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song Remastered is a faithful remake of a deep, classic turn-based RPG. Its complex mechanics and high degree of freedom may overwhelm new players, but fans of traditional JRPGs will appreciate its rich narrative and strategic gameplay.”

“If you have never experienced Atelier Ryza, the Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack is the best opportunity to experience a valuable and memorable trilogy of the Atelier series. However, this package does not offer much new content for those who have already experienced these titles, making it hardly worth experiencing again.”

“Abra-Cooking-Dabra is a small, cozy, and focused game that wisely avoids competing with grander cooking or management titles. Its orderly gameplay, colorful design, and gentle soundtrack make it an ideal choice for players seeking a calm, mindful experience. While shortcomings like slow onboarding, limited replayability, and a lack of fresh challenges later on prevent it from becoming a lasting masterpiece, the game completely succeeds in its core mission: delivering a charming, stress-free fantasy cooking getaway.”

“Tales of Xillia Remastered is a title you should experience for its memorable characters and engaging dialogue. The combat system is entertaining enough, but the weak stage design turns exploration into a tedious process.”

“Only give this game a chance if you're a fan of the Paws of Fury film. Otherwise, there are far better tower defense and hack-and-slash games available to play.”

“Blood of Mehran is a wasted opportunity. A compelling concept is buried under repetitive gameplay, a weak story, and technical problems, highlighting a critical need for innovation in Persian game development.”

“A loving remaster that revives the legacy of a classic. While sitting in the cockpit of the R9 might not be for everyone, long-time fans will cherish this reunion.”

“Diplomacy is Not an Option blends classic and modern strategy with fun humor. However, its weak storytelling, poor AI, and balance issues hold it back. Best for hardcore strategy fans who love a tough challenge.”

“Angry Video Game Nerd (8-bit) is a quality 2D platformer, but its extremely short length & annoying golden poop gimmick hold it back. Best for die-hard fans of the show only.”

“"Formula Legends" is a passion project created by F1 fans to celebrate the sport's history. While its ambitious vision and the developers' commendable effort are evident, existing issues ultimately prevent it from becoming a flawless title.”

“Hell Clock is certainly not for everyone, but it undoubtedly has its own specific target audience. As a roguelike, it doesn't deliver a bad experience, and had the developers invested more time in its story and internal logic, it could have become a genuinely good and memorable game.”

“Perennial Order will be a memorable trial for players who tolerate unfair design for pure art, but a frustrating experience for everyone else.”

“While Jotunnslayer offers enjoyable, well-balanced gameplay with modern visuals, its clunky UI and messy combat readability hold it back from true greatness.”

“Antro is a creative, rhythm-based indie platformer with a unique Spanish hip-hop vibe. Despite clunky controls and a predictable story, its powerful artistic style makes it a memorable experience”

“The Edge of Fate starts Destiny's next chapter with ambitious goals but flawed execution. Its slower progression and repetitive mission design test players' patience, though it successfully sets the stage for future content that could recapture the magic of past years.”
