DRAGON QUEST XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition is still an enormous JRPG adventure, and its slow opening and occasional remnants of an older design can sometimes show their age. But once the journey gets going, the memorable characters, beautiful world, satisfying turn-based combat and wonderfully...
Sin: Reloaded
SiN: Reloaded exposes both the raw charm and the flaws of 1998 in razor-sharp detail. The graphical upgrades, HD models, and polished soundtrack give the cult FPS some much-needed shine. Wages of SiN also delivers wonderfully mindless action with a cool, creepy atmosphere. The game nevertheless remains hampered by dated...
NBA 2K27
In summary, NBA 2K27 is still very much just another NBA 2K. The City is back, MyCAREER is bigger, MyTEAM wants another chunk of your free time and MyNBA continues to offer enough depth to disappear into for weeks. But underneath all that familiarity, the gameplay has taken a meaningful...
Rivage
Rivage stands out as a stellar puzzle adventure built on a strong narrative foundation and a pristine audiovisual presentation. While having to occasionally repeat puzzles after exiting the game is a minor annoyance, the core design stays exceptionally logical, making every breakthrough and story progression feel deeply satisfying.
Well Dweller
Instead, Well Dweller puts its weight behind surprisingly substantial storytelling, a weird cast of characters with genuine charm, and exploration that gradually unlocks clever ways to move through its dark yet intriguing fairy-tale world. It is a very accessible adventure with plenty of personality – one that grew on me...
Everspace 2
On Switch 2, this release delivers an exceptionally smooth, content-rich port of an addictive space shooter that managed to make me lose track of time, something I hadn’t experienced in a long time. Several hours into playing, I would still be flying around, eliminating outlaws, upgrading my ship, and telling...
While The Alighieri Circle: Dante’s Bloodline has a great atmosphere thanks to its eerie setting, lore and audiovisual presentation, the puzzles can be frustrating at times due to vague objectives and saves that are few and far between. It’s a game that requires quite a bit of patience, especially when...
The Sinking City 2
At the same time, the generic UE5 visuals, sparse soundscape and occasionally awkward combat keep it from reaching the level of the games it clearly takes inspiration from. After never finishing the first The Sinking City, I certainly didn’t expect its sequel to work this well for me. It’s an...
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is an excellent addition to the franchise. More than I expected, this entry is primarily focused on puzzles rather than combat, with both aspects perhaps being a little too easy at times. Thankfully, the compelling narrative and impressive audiovisual presentation more than make up for...
Theropods
Theropods‘ wordless storytelling and prehistoric setting give it a very distinct feel. Compared with the preview build, the title has improved through noticeable visual updates and new story cutscenes, while also offering a much deeper and more diverse narrative than I expected. However, the game still fails to fix its...
1000xResist
Taking this surreal journey on Switch 2 in no way diminishes the sheer brilliance of 1000xRESIST. Playing out like a deeply personal, interactive cinematic parable, it quickly draws you into moral questions about self-determination, trust, and the consequences of living under someone else’s control. Despite its fatalistic opening, the pivotal...
Starsand Island
Starsand Island is a delightful, content-packed life simulator that easily expands beyond basic genre tropes. Its mix of cozy island living, quirky characters, crafting and combat, makes for a very engaging loop. However, this full release is still held back by persistent quest-state bugs and minor performance hiccups. Seed Sparkle...
