Game of Thrones Kingsroad feels like it was made with smartphones in mind in the most obvious ways, from its monetisation to its UI and even its button mashing gameplay. Aside from getting to see some landmarks from the HBO show, there is little to enjoy here.
RoadCraft feels like the culmination of everything Saber Interactive learned while making its previous simulation games. Its vast variety of vehicles all feel incredibly fun to drive around, and rebuilding a place that got wrecked by natural disasters can be incredibly rewarding.
Post Trauma is an interesting experiment in the horror genre that tries to bring back classic gameplay styles to a modern age. Despite this, there are still strange puzzles to deal with, and the first-person segments feel counter-productive to the excellent atmosphere created by fixed camera angles.
La Quimera feels like an ambitious game that was let down by time constraints during development. While there are bones of a good game in there, the general lack of quality in most of its aspects make it difficult to recommend.

Enchantment Under the Sea might just be some of the best gameplay experiences Atomic Heart has delivered so far. While it doesn’t have the open-world nature of the base game, the more linear approach to level design and fun new powers makes the DLC well worth visiting.
Synduality: Echoes of Ada is an extraction shooter that, while really easy to get into, might be difficult to stick with considering its bland art style and simplistic gameplay that ends up not having enough depth.
Blade Chimera is one of the most good-looking and engaging platformer titles out there. It easily taps into its classical influences while still maintaining its own identity. At worst, it can sometimes be an annoying game that hides crucial information. If you can overlook some of its flaws, Blade Chimera...
