NanoApostle is a perfect encapsulation of the struggles indie developers face in today’s market. Like other games, the developers have had to focus their main efforts into one area, to the detriment of the rest of the game. The movement and combat in this game are fantastic and will keep players hooked as they take on terrifying boss after boss. In conclusion, sadly, a story that is non existent and inconsistent presentation prevent this game really standing out amongst a sea of indie titles. There’s fun to be had, but at what cost?- Movies Games and Tech

Clean Up Earth is a calm and relaxing simulation experience. It uses a fantasy and sci-fi edge to counter a rather serious message. However, it is easy to understand why we should recycle and the global benefits. My favourite part of this game is the real-world investment in climate fighting charities.- Movies Games and Tech

Hello Neighbor 2 is a stealth horror puzzle game that is tough to stomach. There is plenty of potential for it to be phenomenal. However, it sadly falls short. Moreover, the open world dilutes its approach and this was unfortunate. Furthermore, it fails to rectify many of the flaws found in its predecessor.- Movies Games and Tech

This game is mixed for me. I think there is some fun to be had, but only if you’re a pinball fanatic, or want to relive old memories. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t have enough to keep things interesting beyond an hour, or two of gameplay, so therefore it’s hard for me to recommend it. There are things to appreciate in this game, but ultimately Pinball Freedom falls flat.- Movies Games and Tech

Deadliest Catch: The Game could have been a fantastic experience. However, this simulation title is unfortunately held back by bugs, glitches, and clumsy controls. Yet, I still enjoyed its moreish action. Once you hire a full crew, the game takes a life of its own. From here, you can enjoy the relaxing sea and the profits that you'll make.- Movies Games and Tech

Hotel Renovator is a game that should be handled with caution. While on one side it is a wholly unfinished glorified mesh of Unreal assets being priced on Steam at 24.99€, there are small signs of the game potentially becoming larger in future updates, or maybe even being fixed by its community's mods (something very telling of Two Horizon's intentions in game development). I am giving this game a very wishful six, with hopes of future patches improving on very clear flaws.- Movies Games and Tech

Dragon Ball: The Breakers fails to break into the asymmetrical survival genre. With confusing mechanics and a lack of content, it isn't fulfilling. Furthermore, the action isn't balanced and the online lobbies are dying. Consequently, finding a match is slow and frustrating.

Kungfu Kickball is a bizarre blend of martial arts, football, and volleyball. You must outwit your opponent while beating them to death and scoring more goals. You traverse an array of arenas and take on the best kungfu kickball masters. It's fun to play with friends but becomes tedious and unbalanced against the computer.- Movies Games and Tech

I’m not familiar enough with the genre to compare its quality in the grand scheme of things. I found its pacing and localisation wonky, but perhaps these are things that VN connoisseurs actually enjoy about the genre, and to each their own. My hottest take is that I honestly would’ve preferred if they ditched the ARPG elements and invested more into the interactive driving the novel sections. I love narratives and choices, and would have liked to feel like a participant in the events of this world.- Movies Games and Tech

Ultimately, All in Abyss: Judge the Fake is a game that thrives on its concept more than its execution. It’s ambitious, stylish, and refreshingly different — but it can’t always live up to the narrative weight or mechanical depth it seems to promise. For those who enjoy poker and are looking for a fresh narrative twist on it, this could be a compelling, if uneven, experience. But players seeking emotional depth or a tightly designed tactical game may find its bluffs easier to read than intended.- Movies Games and Tech

Tape: Unveil the Memories is a game with an interesting idea, but unfortunately just falls a bit short. While the narrative and drip-fed creative puzzles kept me going, it became somewhat of a chore by the end.

While I wanted to love it, I just couldn’t quite get there.- Movies Games and Tech

As a standalone, I’m not sure if I can recommend this one. There are too many hang-ups for me personally. I think LinD2 hits the mark for what I can expect out similar indie horrors. However, I’m struggling to see what this one does that so many others don’t already do, if not better. There are probably better similar indie horrors out there, even as a non-player of indie horror myself. I know it must be difficult to make something that truly stands out. Simply put, LinD2 is decent for what it is, but I don’t think it will leave a lasting impression.- Movies Games and Tech

The Dragoness: Command of the Flame is just fine. With so many games out there, I would say you would need to be a huge fan of this game style to spend any amount of time on it. The city building is light, the combat is repetitive, and the UI needs simplifying and polishing. Despite all of that, however, the desire to take ‘just one more turn’ and learn more about the characters and the world is appealing. If you have an open slot in your game schedule, The Dragoness: Command of the Flame wouldn’t necessarily be a bad option.- Movies Games and Tech

Like I said earlier, these types of games are not for me. This could just be an example of “git gud” but the game does not feel compelling enough to try to. There is a certain level of micro-managing that Rise of Industry 2 does not successfully set me up for. Attempting to do the scenarios or try my luck in sandbox has a mountainously steep learning curve and makes the game feel like a chore rather than an enjoyable experience. If the actual gameplay kept my attention, I might be up for the challenge! Unfortunately though, I could do nothing but sit and stare as my industry collapsed and crumbled as the days went on, and on, and on.- Movies Games and Tech

No Son Of Mine is a short horror game that sets the tone extremely well but does not follow through on its gameplay. The mechanics are either inconsistent or not fully explored, and the monster is more annoying than scary. The narrative plays second fiddle and is not interesting at all. It is disappointing because there are some good and horrifying moments in the game, but the gameplay holds this back from being a truly great experience.- Movies Games and Tech

Touhou Genso Wanderer – Foresight can be a lot of fun, but you have to try and ignore a lot of things that other Dungeon games just do better. Whether it’s weird translation errors in the items, hub areas feeling dull and lifeless or even the main story, this title truly feels unfinished, as though Aquastyle rushed it out to make a quick buck from the diehard Touhou fans. And that’s a shame because there’s some great potential here.- Movies Games and Tech

I don’t want this review to seem like a critique on the simulator game genre as a whole. They can be a lot of fun with the right elements and the right people to play with! If you’re an avid fan of simulators, then this game certainly keeps up with the rest of them! If you’re like me though, the entertainment is fleeting and might only last a weekend at best. Even if you do manage to reach a point where everything is automated by workers, with upgraded machines churning out profits and robots flying all over the place, I might still wonder if the time spent was really worth it in the end.- Movies Games and Tech

As I’m sure you can tell, auto-battlers never really appealed to me beyond the absurd likes of TABS or the ramping insanity of Vampire Survivors. Problem being, all of those games have things you can do in them. In TABS, you can take control of any individual unit and feel as though you’re in this absurd fight you’ve engaged, and in Vampire Survivors, you still have to move and make snap decisions even though all of your attacks are automatic. Unless you really love comparing your run against the runs of others online, or just really love opaque challenges, I can think of no reason why I would ever recommend this over either of those games.- Movies Games and Tech

Overall, The Legend of Legacy HD Remastered is a competent remaster of a game that is polished in some respects and severely lacking in others. Outside of its original context on the 3DS, it’s hard to recommend this when there are some many wonderful JRPGs, new and old, that can be enjoyed on modern systems. While there may be some willing to overlook the phoned-in story, I sadly couldn’t. For me, this is one game whose legacy is best left in the past.- Movies Games and Tech

Astrune Academy had the potential to be a charming throwback to the JRPGs of yesteryear, but it falters due to uninspired world design, a repetitive soundtrack, and the intrusive integration of mobile game mechanics. The story’s initial promise and the classic gameplay are overshadowed by these issues, leaving players with a sense of what could have been. While it may still hold some appeal for die-hard fans of the genre, Astrune Academy ultimately serves as a reminder that some things are best left in the past.- Movies Games and Tech

Depending on how you play and enjoy games, Skopje ‘83 is very divisive in that regard. Some people may like a game where it doesn’t hold your hand and you’re allowed to explore wherever. There is enjoyment in finding things out on your own, but even that has its limits when you end up repeating the same moments with very little change. This is a hard game to recommend to most people and it feels like one where you would need a guide to help you through it. The gameplay and art style carry this quite well, but the lack of direction is one of the main proponents knocking it down in terms of enjoyability.- Movies Games and Tech

With a simple UI and a basic story to follow, I believe Lightracer Spark is a great addition to anyone’s library that is looking for something soothing to play. With a tutorial that ensures players are knowledgeable about the mechanics here as well as a visual style that makes it easy to get lost in, this game is a relaxing journey to go through that has moments of frustration. If you are able to overcome this initial feeling of frustration and really commit these mechanics to memory, you will find a gem of a game that utilizes all of the mechanics introduced in the game. It is nice to see that everything introduced here continues to show up down the road, even if it is infrequent and hard to recall right away.- Movies Games and Tech

Sky Oceans: Wings for Hire should have been great. However, poor controls and slow and repetitive gameplay hold it back. It's a shame as the storytelling was fun and I liked the lore.- Movies Games and Tech

If you’re wondering I don’t recommend this game unless you’re already a fan of the series. And if you can get past most of its issues, your fine. If you’re anything like me, this will mostly come out to be a messy ride. I give this game a 5/10 a pretty fun game if you ignore the story, some characters, and the boring world.- Movies Games and Tech

EARTH VS MARS is a solid strategy game. But that’s mostly it. It doesn’t add any interesting characteristics that we haven’t seen before, and it takes few risks with its gameplay. After a while, I did find myself wanting to play a different strategy game, one that really makes me think and one that doesn’t take an absurd amount of time to show the damage being committed to enemy combatants. In the end, Earth VS MARS doesn’t do much wrong; on a different side of the same coin, it doesn’t do too much great either to separate itself from an ever-competitive genre.- Movies Games and Tech

Gridz Keeper is a zombie puzzle title that could have been fun. However, the lack of depth and challenge hold it back. It was a shame as I wanted it to thrive!- Movies Games and Tech

Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong should have been fantastic, but it wasn't. It has some excellent characters and an array of interesting missions. Somehow, though, it still falls short. With bland conversation and a flat atmosphere, every task is an uphill struggle. It's a real shame as it could, and should have worked well.- Movies Games and Tech

Liberté could have been the latest great game in the golden era of roguelites with its unique setting and interesting premise. Sadly, a story that falls by the wayside almost instantly, basic, yet frustrating gameplay design and at times ugly environments stop this game from reaching its potential. Superb sound design, voice acting and score help soften the blow to a certain extent but I’m left wondering what truly could have been.- Movies Games and Tech

Alaskan Road Truckers: Highway Edition doesn't break with tradition. Accordingly, fans of trucking games will enjoy what they experience. Sadly, this is a niche audience and other gamers will be disappointed. The visuals are rough, and the gameplay is too restrictive. As such, there are better simulation games available.- Movies Games and Tech

Monark might still become Lancarse’s low-budget JRPG golden goose in the long run, as there is plenty to work with here in terms of potential storylines and created assets, but as it stands – and based on its glaring issues – there’s very little reason to expect this quasi-dark school-based romp to achieve anything outside of its niche audience, even if I did find it to be oddly charming…..by the end.- Movies Games and Tech

If you want to discover everything that this game has to offer, prepare to sit through some particularly ‘draggy’ sections that’ll have your finger hovering over the skip-all button. This may set you back 50-60 hours depending on how fast you can read. Generally, I’m a fan of visual novels, but this one defeated me. A mix, I believe, of slow pace, bad writing and unnecessary sexual and misogynistic language that just made me groan. For some people, I’m sure that’ll be right up their alley, but personally, Tengoku Struggle really struggled to elicit any joy from me at all.- Movies Games and Tech

If you’re into some genuinely nice looking grass, trees, rocks, etc, and don’t mind mediocre rhythm-puzzle gameplay, go ahead and give Melobot a try. Otherwise, you’re not missing much.- Movies Games and Tech

Despite a couple of promising ideas, Rogue Cards is dragged down by uninspired card designs, bland art and a strong sense of repetition. With so many excellent choices in the turn-based roguelike genre, Rogue Cards seems destined for obscurity.- Movies Games and Tech

Tiny Battles should have been a fun auto battler. However, it is full of issues and will leave you disappointed. The reliance on luck and little judgement is a bitter pill to swallow. Accordingly, you will tire of the action long before you should.- Movies Games and Tech

At the end of the day, Zookeeper is not a bad game. It just falls a bit short on keeping the player’s interest for extended periods of time. Zookeeper has potential for sure. It’s cute, relaxing and there is some fun to be found. However, as it stands, things feel a bit too middle of the road to justify any hype.- Movies Games and Tech

Demon’s Mirror certainly has its moments of intrigue and challenge, but as time goes on, the game’s repetitive nature and slow progression dampen the excitement. While it might appeal to those craving complexity and a bit of a mental workout, for most players, the frustration and lack of meaningful upgrades make it hard to recommend.- Movies Games and Tech

AI Limit is, at best, an okay Soulslike experience. The combat provides some enjoyable moments, especially when experimenting with different weapons, but the game is ultimately held back by its uninspired world and weak main story. If you’re a die-hard fan of the genre and are willing to overlook its shortcomings, you might find something to enjoy here. But for most players, AI Limit fails to stand out in a sea of better, and now cheaper alternatives.- Movies Games and Tech

Syberia isn’t going to be for everyone, and it likely won’t be for you. Point-and-click games aren’t very relevant these days for a reason, and it’s largely because the industry has moved towards more player-friendly experiences. This remaster is a great opportunity to experience a bit of the past, but I doubt it will have many people reminiscing about the way things used to be.- Movies Games and Tech

Hammerwatch 2 is a fun little adventure that has a ton of potential but has a lot of minor issues that may be off putting for some. For those looking for a simple way to pass the time with some friends, this is definetly worth checking out but I hope you have someone ready to keep track of where you need to be going or else you will be pulling up the quest menu every other second. Combat is fun but the scenery can make it hectic to keep track of everything. Overall, Hammerwatch 2 does a wonderful job of being a mediocre adventure with promise.- Movies Games and Tech

Chimp Quest Spirit Isle offers a decent diversion for fans of puzzle-solving and time management games. Its time-based challenges and interactive mechanics provide moments of enjoyment, but ultimately, its lack of depth and variety prevent it from reaching its full potential. While it may satisfy casual players looking for a quick distraction, it fails to leave a lasting impression. With some refinements and additional content, it could evolve into a more compelling experience. As it stands, however, it’s a game that’s best approached with tempered expectations.- Movies Games and Tech
