    Taking major inspiration from other indie games in both gameplay and graphical design, Crabmeat is a fun, decently paced horror fishing game with incredible attention-to-detail and lackluster visuals.

    The best Stories game to date that easily stands shoulder to shoulder with its mainline brethren.

    Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is an incredibly atmospheric and legitimately unsettling experience brought low by clunky, often infuriating combat and trial-and-error stealth sections. As such, it’s difficult to recommend to anyone but existing fans of the series. However, for those who can push through its more irksome elements, there’s a fantastically macabre tale that will haunt you long after the credits roll.

    So no, WWE 2K26 isn't the Best in the World, but it still does a mighty fine job, sorta like when Randy Orton faced Edge in "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" at Backlash 2020, it wasn't the greatest wrestling match, but it was very good-and so to is WWE 2K26.

    Paranormasight: The Mermaid’s Curse is a compelling supernatural mystery that, although not as creepy as its predecessor, still features a gripping narrative with plenty of twists and satisfying puzzles.

    Under the Island is a bright, character driven adventure that balances lighthearted humor with a steady sense of discovery. As you explore its layered world, each new tool opens paths that once seemed out of reach, making progression feel natural and rewarding. It is the kind of compact journey that stays focused, delivers consistent surprises, and leaves you satisfied.

    Machine Mind is a game full of innovative, but half-baked ideas. Other, more successful titles tried to combine RTS and Shooter elements into a much more enjoyable experience, such as Rift Breaker, but Targem Games can’t deliver its latest game with the same quality. Perhaps with a bit more time and a few quality-of-life updates, Machine Mind will become a better, more enjoyable experience.

    Skunkape Games have remastered and re-listed Poker Night, given it a fresh lick of paint, reintroduced it's most important feature and all that at a decent price. They've truly gone all-in.

    Portrait of a Torn is a short, narrative driven mystery that focuses on atmosphere, exploration, and emotional storytelling. You move through a quiet, unsettling home, solving light puzzles while uncovering a tragic story piece by piece. While the ending and a few technical issues hold it back, the experience is still engaging if you enjoy slow, reflective walking sims.

    Soulslinger: Envoy of Death is a fast paced roguelite shooter set in a dark western version of the afterlife where you battle through arena style encounters and grow stronger with each run. Its moody atmosphere helps carry an experience built around tight combat loops and steady progression in a central hub. While it delivers solid action and a clear sense of style, limited variety and repetition in more ways than one keep it from feeling truly exceptional.

    Crisol: Theater of Idols is a unique blend of action and puzzles that has enough potential to keep the player engaged until the very end, but lacks enough narrative and gameplay depth to be remembered for long.

    Diablo II Resurrected Infernal Edition stands as a thoughtful and respectful fine-tuning of a classic with a new way to experience it thanks to the Warlock.

    It’s not a bad collection by any stretch, and Rayman fans are bound to have some fun with the package, but I can’t get past that sinking feeling that Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition is a rush job that, had it been given a little more time, could have been something truly special.

    Tales of Berseria Remastered is a great game despite some disappointing aspects. The new improvements make gameplay noticeably better but the drawbacks make the experience a little worse than it could have been.

    Tokyo Xtreme Racer is a focused arcade-style racing game that puts you on Tokyo’s highways to challenge rivals and climb the street racing scene. You customize your cars, tune performance, and unlock abilities while battling drivers using the unique Spirit Point system. The game combines high-speed duels, strategic upgrades, and a gritty nighttime atmosphere for a tense and addictive racing experience.

    The simplest way to put this is: if you enjoyed Portal and would like more logic puzzles — and don’t mind swapping your portal gun for a paint gun — then this is likely to be right up your alley. Some elements are a bit more threatening than Portal (i.e., foes that will pursue you), but they can be stopped reasonably easily (at least for a moment). The narration also provides an amusing overarching story, which is a nice little addition. Certainly worth a play if you enjoy puzzle games and like the vibe of Portal.

    PC is definitely not my number one choice to experience the new adventures of Geralt. Though the game captures the essence of CD Project Red’s The Witcher series, at the end of the day, it’s just a casual card adventure, not a full-blown RPG, and that will make it difficult to keep up with the experience longer than a short while.

    Love Eternal blends demanding gravity-based platforming with an unsettling, abstract horror narrative that lingers long after it ends. Its short runtime keeps the challenge intense while delivering a story that feels strange, emotional, and deliberately open to interpretation. It is the kind of experience that may frustrate you in the moment but rewards you with imagery and ideas that are hard to shake.

    Death Howl blends tactical grid combat with deep deck customization inside a myth soaked world shaped by loss. Each encounter feels like a carefully constructed puzzle where preparation and positioning matter as much as raw power. It is demanding and deliberate, but for those willing to engage with its systems, it delivers a striking and emotionally grounded strategy experience.

    Overall, it’s a lot of fun for Star Trek fans or anyone looking for a sci-fi game with more intellectual depth than a straightforward space shooter.

    God of War Sons of Sparta takes Kratos back to his early Spartan years in a side scrolling adventure that blends exploration with heavy combat. While it adds background to his relationship with Deimos and experiments with a retro style format, it rarely feels as powerful or focused as the mainline entries. It is a decent, occasionally engaging detour that struggles to live up to the legacy attached to its name.

    Royalty & Legacy went from an underwhelming reveal to a Royal surprise. It's a more than fine pack for any Medieval Fantasy, swordfighting lover like myself. It's world is gorgeous and full of lore, and clear love and passion went in to it. It is not a must, but a welcome addition, and what it provides it does well.

    I’m really glad that Avowed and Obsidian Entertainment’s back catalogue for Xbox has now made it to PS5. This is a fantastic open-zone RPG with entertaining character role-playing options, an engaging cast of antagonists and companions, and satisfying combat systems that have been rounded out from a year’s worth of patches, bug fixes and content updates. If you’re like me and were waiting for the right time to explore the Living Lands, the time is now.

    The Run is one of Raschid’s strongest FMV projects to date which delivers a tense, well‑acted survival thriller with sharp pacing, high production values and genuine emotional stakes. Fans of interactive storytelling and cinematic horror will find plenty to enjoy.

    Aerial_Knight’s DropShot is a fast, stylish shooter built around constant motion and quick decision making. I found it easy to get hooked thanks to its clean mechanics, confident presentation, and short, replayable levels. While it left me wanting a bit more depth and variety, the core experience was consistently fun and memorable.

    Ride 6 is a polished and technically solid entry in the franchise that offers plenty for both dedicated fans and players willing to step outside their comfort zone.

    Ultimately, The Prisoning: Fletcher’s Quest is a solid, compact experience that showcases strong fundamentals. Movement feels good, boss encounters are engaging, and the writing has a distinct voice. At the same time, its most promising mechanics are not explored deeply enough, and its metroidvania elements remain surface level. The procedural component adds replay value in theory, but does not meaningfully expand the scope. For anyone seeking a brief, well controlled action platformer with personality, it delivers. For those expecting a robust, sprawling metroidvania, it may feel underdeveloped. It is a good game that hints at something greater, even if it never fully reaches that potential.
