Baby Steps
Baby Steps begins with a spark: hilarious cutscenes, bizarre humor, and impressively detailed physics make every slip and fall entertaining. For a time, learning to literally walk like a baby is its own reward. Yet soon, the emptiness sets in. What starts as a unique concept with moments of genuine...
Dying Light: The Beast
Dying Light: The Beast is as bloody and intense as fans had hoped for, but it rarely surprises. Beast Mode adds a visceral twist to combat, and the sprawling terrain of Castor Woods provides a solid backdrop. Still, the story is predictable, quests become repetitive, and the punishing nighttime encounters...
Arctic Awakening
No, it’s not flawless, with pacing dips, occasional mechanical irritations, and minor technical hiccups. Yet the sheer force of the narrative, the strength of the performances, and the haunting beauty of the Arctic setting make it a standout experience. This is a rare game that blends blockbuster mystery with indie...
The Knightling
The Knightling pours charm into a familiar formula and lets that warmth carry you through. Between the lovable protagonist, the heartfelt soundtrack, and the bustling world of Clesseia, it’s hard not to smile while playing. Fetch quests and performance hiccups drag things down, but they don’t erase the joy of...
Metal Eden
Metal Eden is a short, sharp hit of sci-fi action—an FPS that leans hard into parkour combat, audiovisual style, and relentless pacing. Its narrative is thin, its enemy roster repeats itself too quickly, and the AI can wobble. But when the flow clicks, it delivers a thrill few shooters manage....
Hirogami
Like a piece of paper folded without care, Hirogami’s design struggles to hold its shape. Beauty is there in flashes, but it collapses too easily, leaving you with an adventure that’s more fragile than fulfilling. For younger players or those who enjoy cozy, light puzzles, it can still be an...
For longtime fans of the anime, the authenticity of the cutscenes, the retro soundtrack, and the larger-than-life characters will feel like a loving throwback. For newcomers, it’s a competent if occasionally frustrating action romp. Not a hidden gem, but a solid revival—proof that even forty years later, Cobra still knows...
Quartet
Quartet doesn’t reinvent the wheel in the JRPG genre, but it largely succeeds in weaving its branching stories into a meaningful whole. Its layered narrative and creative approach to objectives ensure the game has more to offer than just turn-based battles. Combat rotations stay engaging, pixel art environments are charming,...
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is a revival caught between two blades. Its combat flows fast and satisfyingly, with chaining strikes and flashy ninjutsu capturing the thrill of Musashi’s legacy. At the same time, a cartoon-styled presentation and repetitive stage design keep it from reaching the intensity of the best in...
Shadow Labyrinth
Sadly, Shadow Labyrinth is a game I’ll quickly forget. I often found myself forcing my way through it, with little motivation to keep playing. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend it—unless you’re a die-hard Pac-Man fan who also enjoys Metroidvania games set in a dystopian world.
Abyssus
Abyssus doesn’t try to reinvent the roguelite wheel—it spins it at high speed and straps a brine-powered cannon to the side. The game’s focus on speed, coordination, and build flexibility makes it a blast to play in short, intense bursts, especially with a full crew of friends. While the environments...
Mafia: The Old Country
It is this circular tension — between different visions of future perspective and the futility of breaking the cycle of revenge — that gives the game its lasting sting. And that’s why, despite its linearity and occasional mechanical frustrations, Mafia: The Old Country earns its place as one of the most compelling entries in...
