I love this series and many more games like it, but I am also hyper aware of the niche that they fit into. Visual novels are always a hurdle, but when the gameplay is mostly second hand dealing with sometimes sensitive topics, that can be another hurdle. Coffee Talk has...
The Midnight Walk is an impressive feat. Creating this massive world, with these wonderfully bizarre fairy tales is nothing short of fantastic. This feels like a fully fleshed out world, with so much more to explore if they felt inclined on a sequel. That being said, performance on the Switch...
Once the upgrades are flowing, and you are exploring every nook and cranny that’s where Minishoot’ Adventures shines. It doesn’t get bogged down in the details. Just cuts the fluff and gives you exactly what you need to have a good time, providing upgrades, new weapons and abilities at such...
Starting my return to the series with Resident Evil VII made me nostalgic for my time as a child, watching my brother play, while also giving me something totally new that can be just for me. Along those lines, there's so much to love about Resident Evil VII BIOHAZARD. Small...
Outside of those new features, Just Dance as a series is kind of a known quantity. Most people have played it at some point or another, and decided pretty quickly whether it was for them or not, so Just Dance 2026 will not do anything to change those opinions. For...
I kind of love this idea in theory but in practice, I found it utterly dull to play. At one point, your mother gives you a time limit to come home and you can look at your watch to see the time fly by. In that instance, you can wander...
Upon completion I instantly wanted to jump back in for another helping. I could easily see level pack DLCs or a second iteration on a yearly basis, and I would gladly sign myself up. I even put this in front of my 70-year-old non gamer mother to enjoy. It’s that...
Split Fiction
Split Fiction is, in a lot of ways, the best this studio has ever delivered, but is still far from flawless in its execution. The plots from all previous Hazelight games have consistently been an issue and this game is no exception. Its tone and characterization are pretty flat, with...
That’s where I stand on Date Everything. It’s such a well done piece of dating sim art. Characters are interesting, have compelling storylines and contain some of the best voice acting this industry has to offer. On the other hand, there’s just so much here that it’s easy to feel...
That’s my overall pitch for Ender Magnolia: Bloom Into The Mist being one of the best Metroidvanias, I’m sorry, best GAMES of 2025 so far. The piano scores are hauntingly beautiful, while the character designs are intricately animated. Boss fights are interesting puzzles to figure out and the plot moves...
As a long time fan of the Lunar series, I am more than overjoyed to finally have one of my childhood JRPGs in a playable format on modern consoles. In 2025, I still find the series relevant and as charming as it was back when I was a starry-eyed child....
I’ve been a long time fan of the Coffee Talk series and the development team at Pikselnesia but I think Afterlove EP may be the team at their peak. Fahmi handpicked this team to work on his vision and in his passing they have crafted something special. A love letter...
