Len's Island

3/10

It's hard to see Len's Island as anything but a low quality effort to get a toehold in the survival-crafter genre. Non-existent narrative, actively hostile character progression, and a likely unoptimized graphics engine destroy any ease of use or enjoyment one might accidentally find.

The Alters

9/10

The Alters is a unique survival base-building game with addictive gameplay and a memorable, engaging and deep storyline. What's more, it's easily replayable for those reaching for completion.

Elden Ring: Nightreign

8/10

It may be missing some build depth or profoundness, but to have a bite-sized piece of Elden Ring that I can jump into whenever I want is a treasure worth the price.

Sedap! A Culinary Adventure

7/10

SEDAP! A Culinary Adventure displays Southeast Asian cuisine like never before, but it must be played with a friend and is best played with an interest in the culture.

Trash Goblin

7/10

Trash Goblin is a fun and simple cozy game with satisfying gameplay loop, memorable characters and stories, and a beautiful art style. There are some aspects of the story and gameplay that lack in variety, but the overall quality makes it a short but enjoyable experience.

Cattle Country

9/10

Cattle Country combines the Wild West into a cozy farming game. It's an ambitious entry that contributes a lot to its genre, while also taking inspiration from some of the best gameplay mechanics from its peers. Despite its minor flaws, its strong points captured my attention, easily paving its way...

Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping

10/10

Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping is a triumph of a game, with humorous writing paired with a genuinely tricky mystery and intuitive de-duck-tion-based gameplay.

Blades of Fire

8/10

Blades of Fire could have been another Soulslike with a gimmick. Instead, MercurySteam has delivered a well crafted world with an intriguing adventure and the means to let players really find out what works best for them when they need to take hold of some cold steel.

Empyreal

3/10

Empyreal offers a fun combat if you can understand and manage the progression and gear systems, but other than that, the story, world and character design, and atmosphere feels empty and disconnected from the player and their avatar's perspective and experience.

Yes, Your Grace: Snowfall

6/10

Yes, Your Grace 2: Snowfall offers everything the first game did, but worse. While being a struggle to get through due to its launch bugs, flaws exists within its storyline and gameplay which are much harder to fix.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

10/10

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an emotional, well told story combined with extremely flexible combat and characters. In a season packed full of immersive single-player experiences, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 prides itself on creating an extremely detailed world that leaves no stone unturned.

The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy

7/10

The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- has its strengths, but the large amount of content is repetitive to complete.
