Bionic Bay and its tough and demanding action won't be for the platforming fans out there who bask in the delight of Spyro the Dragon or Kirby, but those who enjoy the increased challenge that comes from Crash Bandicoot and games like Mario Maker will absolutely fall in love with...
By way of conclusion, and from a more personal approach, I think we should all reflect on the situation of this type of video game. We see too many similarities between them, and that is understandable; it has always happened in all artistic disciplines. But with animatronic or semi-humanoid doll...
If you're a big fan of the genre, take a look at AI Limit - others should probably skip it.
Commandos: Origins is a great game in a genre that sorely needs one. With a difficulty that'll challenge even the most tactical minds, combined with refreshing visuals and characters that are fun to play, what you get is a satisfying, rewarding experience that has you reloading save after save, believing...
For me, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos was a really joyful experience to play once again after almost 30 years. Despite its shortcomings, the game presented a really lovely feeling, and while it's undeniably old-fashioned in its structure and requires a lot of patience in places, for those who played...
Klara and I, my puzzle-partner-in-crime, made it, and it was satisfying, and I wouldn't spoil what's to come, but Blue Prince is easy to recommend if you've read the description of the premise and found the idea itself compelling. It's the idea that wins here, and maybe in the future...

Koira
At the end of the day, Koira achieves exactly what it sets out to accomplish. Studio Tolima has created an emotionally complex and memorable story that stands out for its narrative and audiovisual direction. It lacks a bit from a gameplay perspective, serving up mechanics that either feel overused or...
Pollard Studio is one of many in the stream of Chinese developers expanding here to the West - they haven't made the best game to come out of China in the last few years, but they have made one of the most special and it's an exciting take on what...
So, to sum up, if you're into puzzles, writing down all the details in a notebook to remember everything, and love these kinds of adventures, we would definitely recommend it. And even though it has its pros and cons, it's a game that delivers what it promises, in a short...
When I reflect on the experience after a few days of playing, I feel torn. On the one hand, there's a simple charm in this and all the elements, however unoriginal, work just fine. But Khazan's journey also feels very monotonous. Despite the new elements that are introduced during the...
