KARMA: The Dark World delivers a strong dystopian atmosphere and an intriguing yet vague narrative. Puzzle-heavy gameplay and minimal hints can be frustrating, but lore enthusiasts may enjoy the extra depth. A solid pick for psychological horror fans, though action lovers might want to look elsewhere.

Squirreled Away blends cozy elements with survival gameplay, offering a cute and simple experience with no real danger. Making it ideal for gamers that want to relax as well as children. The game features an engaging loop where you help squirrels, collect items, solve puzzles and unlock upgrades while progressing through different areas. The smooth controls are a highlight, but the game lacks optimization and some quality-of-life improvements.

Rebellion delivers a compelling survival experience with Atomfall, though technical flaws, clunky melee combat, and weak enemy AI hold it back. If you can look past these issues, the game rewards you with freedom-driven exploration, engaging gunplay, and an atmospheric take on atomic-era England.

AI Limit has a cool Sync system and diverse weapons but falls short in story, level design, and balance. Combat shows promise but suffers from poor timing. Only worth it for die-hard Soulslike fans who can grab it at a discount.

Centum isn’t a particularly good game, but it is a memorable experience. Push through the sluggish start, and its fever-dream audiovisual trip and confronting themes will stick with you. The question is: is that experience worth it to you?

Assassin’s Creed Shadows isn’t perfect, but it’s a solid step forward. Medieval Japan looks great, though interiors could use more variety. With its cinematic storytelling and compelling characters, this is a must-have for open-world fans.

Wanderstop is a thought-provoking game that explores themes like burnout, change, and anxiety disorders, offering a deeply personal experience. The slow-paced gameplay, which includes making tea and caring for flowers, aligns perfectly with the themes and encourages reflection. The only downside are the uncomfortable keyboard controls and the visual design of the main character. The soothing music and beautiful visuals further enhance the calming experience, as the game forces players to slow down, much like one should when dealing with burnout.

Suikoden I & II HD Remaster offers a nostalgic trip with impressive visuals and engaging turn-based combat. The upgraded features make gameplay smoother, though the auto-save needs work. It's a rewarding experience for longtime fans, especially with the 108 Stars of Destiny to collect again.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land brings a fresh twist with a protagonist who isn’t immediately seen as a hero but doesn’t fully explore that concept. The expanded world, new mechanics like a motorcycle and gun, and dynamic real-time combat add depth to the gameplay. While the Switch version has some technical issues, the beautiful art style and excellent voice acting make up for it. It’s an enjoyable addition to the Atelier series, though it could have used a bit more depth.

WWE 2K25 makes solid improvements with new match options, over 300 wrestlers, and an expanded Showcase mode, but some features still need refining. The Island has potential but feels underdeveloped, and VC integration slightly dampens the experience. Hardcore wrestling fans will enjoy it, but casual players might be better off waiting for WWE 2K26.

Fragpunk stands out in the competitive free-to-play market with its vibrant visuals, unique Lancers, and game-changing Shard Cards that keep matches fresh. While the heavy reliance on microtransactions is a downside, the game’s innovation makes it an exciting contender. If future updates refine its progression, Fragpunk could carve out a lasting place in the genre.

Sniper Elite: Resistance feels more like a DLC for Sniper Elite 5 than a standalone game, with a lackluster story, boring protagonist, and repetitive missions. While the core gameplay remains solid, the game suffers from a lack of variety and innovation, while the challenge is diminished by the lack of enemies. Despite some highlights like the X-Ray Kill-Cam and the addition of propaganda missions, the game’s value is better suited for Game Pass rather than a full purchase.

Sugardew Island has the potential to be a cozy farming sim, but its simplistic approach works against it. While the game looks beautiful and plays smoothly, repetitive gameplay and flat NPCs prevent the island from truly coming to life. It’s a relaxing experience for casual players, but seasoned farming sim fans may find it is a missed opportunity.

Knights in Tight Spaces blends tactics and deckbuilding with strategic combat and a unique style. Unfortunately, a clunky UI and unbalanced decks cause frustration. With some tweaks, it could become a classic, but for now, it feels unfinished.

Hazelight Studios does it again with Split Fiction! After the success of It Takes Two, they deliver another co-op adventure full of emotion, humor, great gameplay, and fresh vibes. This is a must-play.

2K hits almost a hole-in-one with PGA TOUR 2K25, the best golf sim out there. EvoSwing and diverse modes keep it fresh, but the audio falls short. Still, a must-play for golf fans.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is an over-the-top spin-off packed with absurdity, minigames, and endless chaos. While Majima’s limited fighting styles and occasional camera issues hold it back, the game’s compact length and lower price make it a fun, wild ride for Like a Dragon fans.

Bloom & Rage pulled me deep into the mysteries of Velvet Cove and hasn’t let go, even after finishing. Despite some technical hiccups, the friendships of Swann, Kat, Nora, and Autumn steal the show. The pacing could be tighter, and the moments between time jumps longer, but I can’t wait to see what fate awaits them in the next chapter this April.

Afterlove EP is an atmospheric visual novel with a gripping story of grief and recovery. The strong atmosphere and music impress, but the limited interaction and lack of overall voice acting bring the world down a bit. Still, it remains recommended for fans of slice-of-life narrative games.

Avowed is a strong RPG with its own identity, deep story and impactful choices. The Living Lands invite exploration, but the combat system lacks a bit of finesse. Despite a few flaws, highly recommended for RPG fans.

Civilization 7 lays a solid foundation with its addictive gameplay and rich content but feels incomplete without key historical figures and a post-space race era. While expansions will likely refine the experience, the base game still delivers that classic "one more turn" appeal.

Big Helmet Heroes stumbles on the technical front, but its charm, vibrant design, and diverse levels steal the show. It may not rival Castle Crashers, but it’s a heartwarming and wildly fun brawler.

The main quest, while having some slow moments, builds well on the first game and deepens character development with surprising twists. The game features notable improvements in graphics, performance, and systems, offering a smoother and deeper experience overall. Fans of the Middle Ages or RPGs will find much enjoyment, especially in the enhanced combat mechanics.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is a narrative RPG full of choices, risks, and survival. The dice and stress mechanic add tension, while the strong writing and layered choices enhance the story. Not for everyone, but fans of narrative RPGs will feel right at home.
