More than anything, my Dead as Disco review comes down to how memorable the game feels. It is stylish without feeling hollow, angry without feeling preachy, and difficult without becoming unfair (most of the time, it needs some tweaks). This isn’t my one perfect 10/10 game for the year, but...
I’ll keep an eye on it. With updates, more content, and better onboarding, this could grow into something special. At the moment, though, it’s a hard sell unless you already have friends ready to jump in with you. 6/10 (for now).
Aphelion
It’s a game I’d recommend with caveats: Adjust the settings, be patient, and expect to die more than you think you should. If you can meet it halfway, there’s something worthwhile here. 7.2/10.
This game explores grief, love, and the struggle to move forward when part of you remains stuck in the past. It doesn’t always give clear answers, and sometimes that’s frustrating. But it stays with you, and that’s what Life is Strange has always done best. My Life is Strange: Reunion...
And yes, you can adopt pets, including strays, which honestly seals the deal. 8/10.
Cairn
Cairn is thoughtful, challenging, and quietly powerful. It understands that sometimes the most meaningful journeys are the ones we take alone. So, I ask you, dear reader: What will drive your climb? 9/10.
I can see what this game could become. I just hope the devs take accessibility, onboarding, and player feedback seriously, because the foundation is there. My StarRupture review comes from a place of wanting the game to be better, not wanting it to fail, and I hope the devs can...
It isn’t perfect. The bugs hold it back, and some gameplay ideas don’t go as far as they could. Still, the stories linger. The Berlin Apartment is thoughtful, reflective, and quietly brave in what it chooses to say. It trusts players to connect the past to the present on their...
Death Howl
It’s a strong, atmospheric game with plenty of heart; it just needs a gentler introduction to help more players appreciate what it’s offering. 7.5/10.
Log Away
Enjoy watching me build my first cabin retreat here (complete with Log Away‘s tutorial):
For those who enjoy their cosy games with a little melancholy and challenge, Winter Burrow is a lovely surprise. It’s cold, yes, but it has heart — and that makes all the difference. Winter Burrow shows that even the smallest hero can bring warmth to the harshest winter. 9/10.
Rue Valley
For those willing to give it time, Rue Valley offers one of the most intriguing narrative experiences of the year. 8.5/10.
