    With a story full of twists and social criticism alongside charismatic and interesting characters, Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories is an excellent adventure that awakens our nostalgia with its pixel art graphics and jazz lo-fi soundtrack. The lack of a portuguese localization may alienate some players, but even so, this indie remains one of the pleasant surprises of the year.

    For a relatively low-stakes casual adventure with delightful dialogue, Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories ticks all the right boxes. The way the cast, premise, and text coalesce creates an experience that’ll become a collectively sweet memory as you reflect on the over-the-top quests encountered throughout the journey. Issues with navigation and vagueness aside, you won’t regret spending a day with this witty game.

    There’s a core of fun to Dead Island 2 that spawns from its blend of mindless thrills and occasionally thoughtful action. When the horde is on you, and you’re making split-second decisions to stay alive—swapping out weapons, dodging around traps, setting off chain reactions of explosions or electrical bursts—the game makes zombie slaying feel fresh again. No small feat in 2023.
