It's quite difficult to find even the smallest positive aspect in The Smurfs: Village Party. The game suffers from poor design across the board, from its dated visuals to the boring mini-games and the uninspired fetch-type quests.

More of an audiobook than video game, Dagon: Complete Edition is a fitting tribute to Lovecraft's work. The experience is elevated by excellent narration and quality prose, immersing players in an atmospheric journey.

While Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings technical improvements, its visuals feel somewhat derivative. The writing remains impactful, and the characters are well-developed, but the story struggles to match the emotional depth and resonance of the original game.

Carpathian Night is a heartfelt homage to the original Castlevania games, offering a nostalgic 8-bit experience. While Bela Lugosi's inclusion feels more like a marketing gimmick than a meaningful addition, the game is well-crafted and sure to delight fans of retro platformers, particularly those who hold fond memories of Castlevania on the NES.

The Inheritance of Crimson Manor may be brief, but it still offers enough clever puzzles and a great atmosphere to make it worthwhile.

Recall suffers from some mediocre dialogue but remains captivating, thanks to its Twin Peaks aesthetic and well-presented subject matter.

The only real positive in Chernobyl Liquidators is its authentic representation of the Chernobyl disaster. Unfortunately, a virtually non-existent story, derivative and highly repetitive gameplay, and buggy, dated visuals drag the entire experience down.

The House of Da Vinci VR is a great adaptation of the original game, where the VR element elevates the entire experience. Fans of puzzle games and VR won’t want to miss it.

Hook: Complete Edition features some intriguing and challenging puzzles, but repetition and limited content quickly set in. Its minimalist visual style, initially appealing, soon grows tiresome.

DECADE attempts to deliver an old-school point-and-click adventure, but stumbles in several key areas. Its clunky UI turns gameplay into a chore, and the unappealing visuals detract from what could have been an interesting story.

Unfortunately, Ghost Frequency is a thoroughly underwhelming horror experience. With a paper-thin plot, minimal gameplay, and a runtime of barely an hour, it feels more like a tech demo than a fully realized game.

Through the Nightmares will certainly challenge even the most hardcore platforming fans, and thankfully, its tight gameplay is up to the task. It also offers plenty of collectibles that support replayability, all wrapped in a unique and moody dark aesthetic. It's far from a casual experience, with some noticeable difficulty spikes, but fans of tough platformers will feel right at home.

Carrier Deck is a welcome addition to the niche "simulators" genre, offering a unique opportunity to manage a military carrier. It's fast-paced and features a clean, simple UI that makes it easy for newcomers to grasp its managerial tasks. However, it could benefit from a broader variety of mechanics, tools, and missions to enhance long-term engagement.

An excellent port of Stellar Blade, bringing this great action title to PC players with impressive quality. The inclusion of the Goddess of Victory: NIKKE DLC is a welcome bonus, making this the definitive way to experience the full package.

Without outstaying its welcome, Kvark may be simplistic in its gameplay, but it retains a certain indie charm. It’s an amalgamation of FPS classics (Doom, System Shock 2, and Half-Life) and while it never aims to reach their heights, it still delivers a pleasantly nostalgic experience.

It may be a step forward for the series, but this latest entry still carries significant drawbacks. Its strongest asset is its strange, atmospheric tone but that alone can't alleviate the overly simplistic puzzles or the utterly disjointed story.

Stunt Flyer is a short arcade shoot-'em-up with dated visuals, repetitive gameplay, and little to make it stand out in the genre. Still, in its simplicity, it might offer a few hours of light fun, though the experience is likely to be forgotten just as quickly.

The beautifully drawn world of Vasilisa and Baba Yaga is enchanting, but it can't disguise the overly simplistic and repetitive gameplay. Ultimately, it's a visually interesting yet forgettable experience.

Missing Bangan is an adequate addition to this obscure game series, with charming visuals and clever level design. However, its short length and simplistic gameplay prevent it from standing out in a crowded genre.

This remaster is only a marginal improvement over the original. Its audiovisuals have certainly been upgraded, but the main issues, forgettable level design and subpar gameplay, remain, reminding us that the original Castle of Heart was ultimately a derivative platformer.

Silly Polly Beast definitely has its rough edges, but it’s hard to deny the passion behind it. The fact that it was created by a solo developer is admirable in itself, especially given its pretty aesthetics and the creative use of multiple camera perspectives to present the action. With a more balanced difficulty and a more coherent story, it could truly be a diamond in the rough.

Truck Driving does the bare minimum to even be considered a game.

The Order of the Snake Scale tries to capture the spirit of classic survival horror, but in doing so its real "achievement" is to remind us that even the best of those games came with serious caveats, ones that later evolutions of the genre left behind. It has a nice atmosphere in places and a decent plot, but it's ultimately weighed down by outdated gameplay and visuals that feel less nostalgic than simply subpar.

Switch owners can now see firsthand what can only be described as the ultimate ode to Dragon Ball. While the 30 FPS performance is noticeable, it doesn’t hinder the game’s easy-to-learn, hard-to-master fighting system or the richness of its content.

Dollmare is effective in its horror atmosphere, with its short duration working in its favour by keeping the simplistic, repetitive arcade gameplay fun. The factory setting also benefits from the brief length, retaining its effectiveness as the game ends before it becomes tiring.

Ultimate Zombie Defense is at least honest about its B-movie philosophy, offering simple gameplay that can hook you for several mindless gaming hours. Decimating hordes of zombies is certainly fun, but the limited content, highly derivative visuals, and lack of depth prevent it from rising above a guilty pleasure.

A-RED Walking Robot is charming and quite unique, putting players in the role of a small mechanical toy robot. Its well thought out level design, using everyday environmental objects and rooms, gives the game a much needed personality. However, its frequent reliance on trial and error leads to unfair situations that more often than not become frustrating.

Ebola Village feels like an amateurish imitation of Resident Evil Village, offering nothing to set it apart.
