    Jurassic World Aftermath offers a thrilling, albeit brief, VR experience. The immersive atmosphere, tense stealth gameplay, and environmental storytelling will keep you on the edge of your seat. However, the repetitive nature of the core gameplay and the lack of combat options might limit its appeal for players seeking a more varied VR adventure.

    Unplugged is a solid VR rhythm game that delivers a fun and accessible way to unleash your inner rockstar. The intuitive controls, diverse soundtrack, and engaging visuals make it a compelling experience for VR enthusiasts and casual music game fans. However, the absence of hand-tracking technology on PSVR2 might leave more experienced musicians wanting more.

    After the Fall is a solid VR shooter that delivers a thrilling, albeit repetitive, experience. The game's immersive world and satisfying gunplay make for a compelling experience, while the deep progression system and strong focus on co-op keep players coming back for more. However, fans of deep narratives and groundbreaking visuals might want more due to the game's repetitive nature.

    Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III is a nostalgia-infused platformer that will make you smile. I loved the zany levels and the monsters. Furthermore, it can be enjoyed with a friend. My only complaint is the lack of an auto-save facility.

    Dicefolk's core combat blends critter fights and dice rolling to great effect. The fighting is satisfying and it looks gorgeous. The plot is a little absent, but it doesn't damper the overall good feeling that Dicefolk brings to the table.

    A detailed and wonderful story that sometimes may have long and unnecessary conversations. The gameplay is fun and it’s an interesting combination of real-time combat and turn-based combat, but the real-time part is not so entertaining and the long cutscenes makes the gameplay little. Lovely art design but the textures are very low in detail. The soundtracks are great. Overall, this game is great and its problems can be ignored.

    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.

    I really enjoyed my time with Bred and Fred, but the single player mode really makes it a more frustrating experience than it needs to be. This is a title that I can highly recommend if you have someone who wouldn’t mind sitting down and putting a couple of hours into it with you. Otherwise, I highly recommend that you prepare yourself for a frustrating time as you throw a rock around in efforts to achieve the same results as someone else who has a competent partner with them.

    Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail is a tale of two halves. On the story front, it might be one of the weaker stories for the MMO. Wuk Lamat is an overbearing main character who is illogical at times. None of the other new characters stand out, and fan favorites from previous expansions don’t significantly impact the story. On the other hand, the dungeons and trials are some of the most fun I’ve had in the game. Both new classes are a blast, and the graphics update adds a nice touch to the game. Fans of the story might be disappointed, especially after Endwalker and Shadowbringers. This expansion delivers on all fronts for players looking to grind new content.

    “The Dark Cave” successfully merges deck-building and roguelite elements with rhythmic movement mechanics, delivering a challenging and rewarding experience. While the game’s environments can become repetitive and some translations need improvement, its strategic depth, character variety, and engaging mechanics make it a compelling choice for fans of the genre. With ongoing updates and potential for future content, “The Dark Cave” promises to keep players entertained and strategizing for many runs to come.

    “Eresys” is a game with a lot of potential that is unfortunately held back by several critical flaws. The info-dump introduction and struggling performance are red flags, and the repetitive environments bore over the initial excitement. The game’s reliance on co-op play is both its biggest strength and its weakness, as the sparse public lobbies make it difficult to experience the co-op experience which was. However, effective horror elements and a faithful Lovecraftian atmosphere offer glimpses of potential in “Eresys.” For those with friends who also own the game and a penchant for horror, “Eresys” might offer some enjoyable moments. But for the average solo player, the experience is likely to be as frustrating as it is frightening. I would suggest proceeding with caution, and perhaps waiting for a patch or two to address some of the more glaring issues before diving into this eldritch world. However, for a diehard Lovecraft fan, this game is certainly capable of evoking a decent time.

    For someone who was brand new in many ways to this genre, I found SMTV enthralling in its deep and meaningful story, its superb cast of characters and its beautiful, yet haunting environments. However, I struggled at times to grasp its unforgiving combat. To sum up, this type of game and gameplay is certainly not for everyone, but for fans of the series, it’s the formula you know and love with wonderful new additions. Quality of life improvements help polish an already well-rounded game. Beautiful art style and a heart racing soundtrack complement the game to make a wonderful package for both returning players and newcomers like me. See you in the desert!

    Exogate Initiative has a promising core gameplay loop but is still under development.

    Dungeon Alchemist is a powerful and innovative tool for creating stunning tabletop RPG maps.

    In summary, “Neptunia Game Maker” is a game that had a lot of potential but fails to deliver on almost every front. The story is disjointed and quite difficult to follow with how many characters get introduced every second. The design is uninspired which doesn’t utilise the art style and the combat is lacklustre. Features like the bike and game development mechanics feel half-baked and add little to the overall experience. I cannot recommend this game to anyone as even to experience the story the player would be forced to drag themselves through the combat encounters. In my opinion “Neptunia Game Maker” should have taken some tips form its own game making mechanics.

    Read Only Memories: Neurodiver is a great visual novel experience. However, it isn't perfect. Yet, I enjoyed the varied characters and the excellent story. Sadly, though, the controls weren't great, and replay value is limited.

    The Smurfs Village Party is a solo and multiplayer experience. If you love Mario Party, you'll adore the mini-games. However, the adventure mode feels like an afterthought, which wasn't very pleasant. Furthermore, some bugs and glitches prevent it from excelling.

    The game’s ability to keep you hooked is impressive. It shows that sometimes, simple ideas can be impactful. Coloree proves that a game doesn’t need complex stories or dialogue to be captivating. So I tell you, as a gamer and a possible future friend to give it a chance. Maybe, just maybe, it will make you find something in your life that may help you find yourself.

    In summary, if you’re a die-hard fan of zombie survival games and can overlook significant flaws for the thrill of defending your base night after night, you might find some enjoyment here. For everyone else, just play 7 days to die.

    If you love a good whodunnit and a bit of research and puzzles in between, Cyber Manhunt 2 is an excellent game worth picking up. I have not played the first game so I can’t judge how it fairs as a sequel but I would say that I didn’t need any prior knowledge to be completely immersed into the plot of this game. This a really well-put-together game on the whole, it’s very clear a lot of thought went in writing this story and it’s a concept that could be reused again and again in different scenarios or environments– something I’m hoping the developers at Aluba Studio are planning to do.

    Cyberpulse is a wonderfully fun and chaotic chunk of arcade action, which successfully puts a spin on the twin-stick shooter. The graphics are nice, though a bit overly intense, and the core gameplay is well explored.

    Wuthering Waves is a free-to-play gatcha game. They want you to spend your time in their world and hopefully spend money on it. So, is Wuthering Waves worth playing? I think long-term, it is. Its combat is very solid, and the exploration aspect is also fun. Its biggest faults are the story, which is very weak, and the voice acting of some characters is subpar. To Kuro Games’ credit, they are working to address these issues. The game has been patched constantly since I started playing, and they are working to address the voice acting. If you’re looking for a fast-paced action game and a deep, open world, I recommend Wuthering Waves. If you’re more of a story person, maybe wait to see if the story improves.

    It’s not a combination of what I usually like but it does the basics well enough that many will like it. I give it a 7/10. Its negatives mostly lie in the fact that the gameplay can get dull and tiring after long hours. And how much of the game only pulls off average and not exceeding beyond that.

    Timberman: The Big Adventure is a nostalgia-infused experience that made me smile. This rudimentary title may be too easy for genre veterans. However, I loved the garish colours and interesting stage design. Moreover, the mini-games were addictive.

    Archetype Arcadia is a visual novel with a lot to offer. The world, characters, and core themes are captivating, but the pacing and underdeveloped elements hold it back from reaching its full potential. Despite these shortcomings, Archetype Arcadia is a visually stunning and narratively engaging experience, especially for fans of dark science fiction. If you’re looking for a choice-driven story with a unique premise and beautiful visuals, Archetype Arcadia is worth checking out, but be prepared for a few bumps along the way.

    Once upon a time, Endless Ocean served as a novelty for an at-home diving experience. Now, despite its polished graphics, it is anything but a shell of itself. The fish are so nicely detailed, the soundtrack is chill, and the playthrough may be fun for half an hour. Endless Ocean Luminous is going to have a hard time being someone’s first choice for an underwater simulation experience. To be frank, I think I would just rather go to an aquarium.

    I cannot stress enough how unenjoyable this experience was due to the inability to find a match to play online and with a simple feature such as A.I opponents missing, this is a game that comes hard to recommend. Hopefully down the road, the devs are able to implement a way to enjoy what is on offer here. The game has a solid foundation and the potential to be enjoyable but it is hard to see that potential when you are staring at a screen that tells you no matches can be found on multiple occasions.

    This game managed to combine several genres in the best way, it has a good story but it is simple and not so engaging, a super fun gameplay that may become a bit repetitive because of its loop, overall Gordian Quest is a wonderful game. Which has so much content that it is definitely worth the $20.

    HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed is a fun and colourful nostalgia-infused shooter. This can be enjoyed alone or with others competitively and cooperatively. Moreover, it has plenty of action to keep you busy. However, I fear that the online servers may become unbalanced and toxic.

    A nice landscape can't hide unsatisfying combat, weak survival mechanics and an odd, unfinished feel. Kingdom of Fallen is definitely not ready for prime time.

    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.
