Jul 22, 2024

While Nobody Wants to Die doesn't really emphasize its gameplay as much, in turn, it offers up a story that is an absolute joy to experience, thanks in no small part to its well-realized cyberpunk world and well-written characters.

8 / 10.0 - CONSCRIPT
Jul 22, 2024

Conscript is unlikely to deliver genuine scares, but this old school, atmospheric survival horror romp is still easy to recommend to fans of the genre.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn successfully strikes a balance between being a great entry point into the Soulslike genre for those new to the genre, while still largely scratching the itch that genre veterans will be on the lookout for.

6 / 10.0 - EvilVEvil
Jul 16, 2024

EvilVEvil might be a competent shooter in some aspects, but its shallow progression and bland graphics hold it back from truly shining.

7 / 10.0 - Flock
Jul 16, 2024

Flock is a relaxing game about taming creatures in a colorful open environment. With strong colorful aesthetics and excellent sound design, it's easy to see the appeal here. The exploration is superb, though the mechanics involved in charming creatures could've been more engaging. If you love games like Pokemon Snap or even Katamari Damacy, Flock will be up your alley.

Kunitsu-Gami is an intriguing action/strategy hybrid that provides consistently fresh gameplay and relaxing moments. If you're not a fan of strategy or action games, I'd still recommend this game since it's an experience that manages to transcend either genre thanks to its quieter moments.

6 / 10.0 - Once Human
Jul 15, 2024

Once Human's setting and gunplay have merits, despite some unoriginal ideas and systems. However, its faulty foundations, from the blueprint system and the building to the story-telling, keep it from truly standing out.

7 / 10.0 - Anger Foot
Jul 12, 2024

A surprisingly deep first-person title, Anger Foot is easy to get in, despite the crass humor. Some elements may frustrate, but it's hard to deny the fun of kicking everything into oblivion.

Zenless Zone Zero excels at everything advertised - combat, visuals and music - while offering a surprisingly well-developed narrative. How it develops remains to be seen, but for now, this "Apocalyptic Neverland" is worth diving into.

On the surface, The First Descendant feels like an unoriginal but otherwise competently put-together looter shooter. Dig deeper, and its flaws, from the mission design and the story to the awful monetization, become more apparent.

The glory days of Super Monkey Ball may be far behind, but Banana Rumble is a new beginning. Tight stage design, responsive controls and an appealing aesthetic make it one of the series' best in years.

Luigi's sophomore solo adventure is still an absolute blast, and even though this is a fairly conservative remaster, it makes for a welcome return to the haunts of Evershade Valley.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak establishes its own identity in the extensive franchise, offering fun new characters, compelling combat and a relatively strong presentation despite some familiar flaws.

Beyond Good and Evil 20th Anniversary Edition is a great way to replay a beloved classic, and an even better one to experience it for the first time.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is an excellent follow up to the base game. Shadow of the Erdtree's focus on great level design and fantastic boss fights makes it a must play for the fans of the genre.

Still Wakes the Deep doesn't fully realize the horrific potential of its intriguing setting, and some might find it to be a bit too light on gameplay, but thanks to an engaging story and gorgeous visuals, it's still a game worth playing.

Monster Hunter Stories can show its age in how simplistic it often feels, but it's still an enjoyable and charming JRPG that genre fans will enjoy.

Monster Hunter Stories 2 isn't extraordinary by any means, but it's a charming, engaging, colourful experience that's still easy to recommend to fans of traditional JRPGs.

Though not an essential part of the Alan Wake 2 experience, the Night Springs DLC is a fun, quirky side adventure that's worth looking into for fans of the base game.

When Destiny content is bad, it can be some of the worst out there. However, when it's good, there's nothing quite like it. The Final Shape delivers on all its promises and then some, providing an emotional catharsis for long-time fans while paving the road ahead for the future.
