Homura Hime
Homura Hime is a fantastic bullet-hell hack-and-slash game. Its story radiates charm and positivity, despite a dark theme of demonic corruption, and the combat flow is so smooth and addictive that hours can melt away before you even notice. If you have the nerves for its high-speed parry-based combat, this...
In short, Dragonkin: The Banished is a solid action-RPG with clear Diablo influences, but presented as a sort of stripped-down, lighter version. As a result, it is highly accessible for those who find the genre heavyweights a tad too much in terms of difficulty, scope, or mechanical depth. Furthermore, while...
Timberborn
Most importantly, the fun and unique aspect of this game is that everything happens from the cute perspective of a beaver colony, with a lot of charm and an eye for detail. Just having to constantly account for their need for food, water and sleep—making sure not to push the...
To God of War Sons of Sparta‘s credit, T.C. Carson, the original voice of Kratos from the Greek trilogy, returns and delivers a solid performance, but unfortunately, it isn’t enough to save the experience. Why this title carries the God of War moniker is beyond me; it likely would have...
While certain mechanical refinements would have smoothed out the friction and some new features feel slightly undercooked, the overall journey remains deeply rewarding. At roughly six to eight hours, it is a worthwhile experience for anyone who values atmosphere and puzzles that trust the player to think and feel in...
Esoteric Ebb
However, as randomness often overwhelms your choices and sudden deaths occur without warning, the experience becomes fragile in a way that feels far too punitive. If the game were to offer a way to mitigate the consequences of a chain of bad rolls through a more controlled system, it would...
Romeo is a Dead Man
In the end, Romeo Is A Dead Man is another amazing outing carefully crafted by Suda51 and his team. It isn’t exactly a game meant for a broad audience though. It’s a rather niche experience due to its sheer craziness and blood-soaked gameplay and storytelling. If you’re looking for a...
Ys X: Proud Nordics
Admittedly, the absence of a co-op option is a missed opportunity given the dual-character focus, and for those who already own the original release, the price of this edition might feel steep relative to the new additions. Still, Ys X: Proud Nordics‘ journey through the Obelia Gulf is one filled...
Nioh 3
However, the PC version currently suffers from some stability and performance issues. I experienced several crashes, some occurring during cutscenes right after a boss fight, forcing me to repeat the entire encounter. There are also sporadic traversal stutters and frame rate drops, even after lowering the quality settings or toggling...
Styx: Blades of Greed
Is Styx: Blades of Greed flawed? Absolutely. Between the stiff animations, glitchy parkour, and the erratic camera, it often lacks the polish expected of a 2026 release. But is it fun? For fans of challenging stealth, yes. The funny, slapstick nature of the kills and the variety offered by your...
Under the Island
Under the Island is a loving tribute to the legendary top-down Zelda games. It’s set in a beautifully imaginative world and successfully adopts the best parts of the genre: a solid Metroidvania format, challenging enemies, and clever puzzles that don’t hold your hand. By infusing the classic concept with modern...
In short, fans of occult, slower, puzzle-heavy horror will find plenty to love here. Above all, Crisol is a game with a distinct soul and a strong cultural identity; in this genre, that’s often worth more than technical perfection.
