Latest: Luna Abyss

Krist DuroMay 22, 2026Score 90

“Luna Abyss surprised me in the best way. It looks familiar for about five seconds, then reveals itself as something much stranger, smarter, and more exciting. The combat has a brilliant rhythm, the movement feels phenomenal, the world is wonderfully bizarre, and the level design constantly rewards curiosity and confidence. It is one of those games where the phrase "FPS with a twist" actually means something.”

Latest: Yoshi and the Mysterious Book

Giulia SerenaMay 22, 2026Score 80

“It's hard not to appreciate the creative courage behind a project like Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. Nintendo takes one of its historically more laid-back series and transforms it into something that completely rejects modern platforming conventions, crafting an experience centered on pure fantasy, curiosity, and the joy of discovery.”

Niko LähteenmäkiMay 22, 2026Score 40

“Rugrats: Retro Rewind Collection is a decent package of Rugrats games, that haven't aged that well. Especially the Game Boy games were really basic and mostly annoying, but there's some fun to be had with the PlayStation versions. Even so, without nostalgia this collection is a hard sell for new gamers.”

Latest: LumenTale: Memories of Trey

Joel Isern Rodríguez - KaymMay 22, 2026Score 70Pre-release Review

“Beehive Studios has built one of the most tactically interesting creature-collectors in years, with a shared SP system that makes every team decision matter and a world bursting with visual personality. It's just a shame the story holds its best cards until the final stretch, and that a couple of clunky systems — Holoken Powers, mandatory crafting — get in the way of an otherwise memorable adventure.”

“Yoshi and the Mysterious Book reimagines what it means to be a 2D side-scrolling platformer, focusing on exploration and experimentation rather than reaching a singular goalpost; further differentiating itself from the Super Mario Bros. series without fully reinventing the genre.”

“Lumentale: Memories of Trey is an entertaining monster-collecting game with an interesting world, a strong art style, and Animon designs that immediately catch the eye, but at times the game feels more cumbersome than necessary.”

Latest: Coffee Talk Tokyo

Jon ScarrMay 22, 2026Score 74

“Coffee Talk Tokyo is a good sequel for anyone who wants a late-night café story built around careful listening and drink clues. The Tokyo setting gives the series a new identity, Tomodachill adds useful context, and the drink-making gives your barista role real purpose. The café itself doesn’t grow enough, and liked posts should be easier to revisit, but the character writing makes the 15-night story worth seeing through if you want a thoughtful visual novel with light recipe puzzles.”

“LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is one of the most complicated LEGO games ever. Instead of just replicating what had already been done, TT Games wanted to mix the accessibility and personality of LEGO with the dramatic narrative, exploration, and combat depth of current Batman games.”

Catherine TranMay 22, 2026Score 100Pre-release Review

“I'm a big fan of monster raising games and have been playing them for most of my life, and LumenTale has quickly become one of my absolute favorites. The visual style is unique, the monster designs are cute, and I enjoyed the game's story quite a bit. The only thing I'd like to see added is a way to speed up the animations in battles if I'm farming for experience or attack upgrade materials, but that's an incredibly minor thing that's pretty well offset by the fact that a pre-emptive attack can net you an instant win if your team is strong enough.”

“Playground Games has proven once again that they are not only the kings of the racing genre, but that the core formula of the Forza Horizon series is so strong that they barely need to reinvent it. Forza Horizon 6 is the complete racing package, delivering everything fans could want and more. It's hard to imagine how Playground Games can improve on this formula going forward, but if their track record is anything to go by, they'll find a way.”

“Forza Horizon 6 is the culmination of a formula and a studio that knew how to listen to its target audience in order to evolve. Although the franchise still carries the ghost of limited visual customization (often due to rigid licensing agreements) and occasional AI problems, the impeccable performance and lighting, with or without ray tracing, make this title a must-have work of art for any speed enthusiast.”

Use a Potion StaffMay 21, 2026Score 70Pre-release Review

“Bubsy 4D marks an enjoyable return for the iconic bobcat that goes a long way in repairing his long-tarnished reputation. It is a short, breezy adventure that doesn’t reinvent the genre, but between the rewarding platforming mechanics and the sheer satisfaction of speedrunning through levels, there’s a hell of a lot to like here. And sure, there’s still plenty of room for improvement, but this is certainly proof that even the most maligned of gaming mascots deserve a second chance.”

“Luna Abyss is a AA shooter that holds its own against some of the elite of the genre. Its enticing and ominous sci-fi world is a delight to look at artistically, even if its muddy graphics let it down on closer inspection. Its story is fine, but a slick sense of progression keeps its action and platforming interesting from start to finish.”
