Dosa Divas is good old-fashioned gaming comfort food. It'll feel familiar going down, yet also nonsensical and with a zest of culture that won't be for everyone. However what's here is an experience that's tough, fair, and totally filling.

Crisol: Theatre of Idols is a steadfast by-the-books horror survival game. While its inherent inspirations are worn proudly on its sleeve, Crisol rarely steps outside of its comfort zone. I like the idea of sacrificing health for ammo, but it needs substance to really sell the idea. Enemies might hit hard, but enemies rarely outpace themselves, and it becomes easy to guess where enemies will come from and how fast they'll lunge at you. The sense of tension in the world's empty streets and earlier sections is genuinely impressive, though.

Tides of Tomorrow ultimately has some cool ideas, but the gameplay doesn’t live up to them. The story and writing are interesting, but also disjointed because of their design. The story never really felt like mine, more so a reaction to another. This might be mitigated by not following anyone, but that seems to go against the core of what makes Tides of Tomorrow interesting in the first place. Hopefully, DigixArt sticks with the formula and makes something truly unique for their next go-around, built on the foundation introduced by Tides of Tomorrow. It’s an interesting adventure and a new experience, which makes Tides of Tomorrow a worthwhile experience.

In 2026, Motorslice underwhelms, but for a game designed for the early aughts, it has a lot I could have enjoyed 15 years ago. Despite the simple gameplay, the platforming sections show some appeal, but the rest is bogged down by simple, forgettable combat and unnecessary sexualization of the protagonist. Add in a lack of a narrative, and there’s not enough on offer for players to really enjoy or even remember.

God of War: Sons of Sparta might bring fans back to Greece, but it isn’t the way you expected to return. There’s a decent game when all is said and done, but it fails to materialize a unique identity from a series that has successfully rehabilitated its image. God of War: Sons of Sparta is ultimately a fine game that may have benefited from being its own thing. I wouldn’t even call it serviceable because I don’t know what it is in service to. God of War: Sons of Sparta might bring fans back to Greece, but it isn’t the way you expected to return. Ghost of Sparta did a fine job of filling in Kratos’ backstory before his reign of chaos. Sons of Sparta muddies the past while revisiting a time in Kratos’ life that few fans care about.

Life is Strange: Reunion closes the book on Max and Chloe’s story, but is it handled well? While it’s nice seeing Max and Chloe again, it comes at a cost. The series has lost what makes it unique, and by retreading old territory, Life is Strange fails to evolve. Instead, uneven writing and plot holes combine to make a story that’s hard to care about. Max and Chloe are still the same as they were before, just a little bit older. Deck Nine says this is it for Max and Chloe, and honestly, it’s about time.
