    My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery is a fantastic adventure title for your young munchkins. This fun-filled, colourful game will make your kids laugh and smile. Moreover, it is simple to pick up and easy for youngsters to play. However, adults will find it repetitive and frustrating.

    If you’re a fan of Visual Novels, then Still Joking is a must-play. It offers an intriguing mix of narrative depth, point-and-click mechanics, and puzzle-solving elements that keep you engaged from start to finish. While the gameplay might not appeal to those looking for more traditional or action-oriented experiences, the story’s complexity and the numerous choices available make it a standout in its genre. If you’re up for a surprising and engaging experience, give Still Joking a try.

    In the end, Garten of Banban is a game without story that gives you a one-line story at the beginning of the game, a very short gameplay that lasts between 15 and 20 minutes, the puzzles are very easy and without challenges, apart from a short section there is no excitement or fear in the game, visually it is an mediocre mobile game.

    The Outlast Trials is a masterpiece in blending cooperative gameplay with the disgusting outrageous horror of the iconic series. Gameplay feels both exhilarating and terrifying, creating unique moments for me and my friends that I will remember for a long time. Whilst the game doesn’t have a memorable story to tell, its characters and enemies are truly unforgettable. Stunning presentation and design help to keep me coming back for more and a fairly robust progression helps to create longevity. I just wish I could experience the trials again for the first time. See you in the madhouse.

    Tour de France 2024 is a competent and enjoyable cycling simulation that caters well to its target audience. However, its failure to innovate and distinguish itself from last year’s edition limits its appeal. While it offers everything fans of the genre would expect, it doesn’t push any boundaries or introduce significant new features. For cycling aficionados, it’s a solid choice, but for still, it might feel like a ride they’ve taken one too many times.

    ArcRunner is a cyberpunk-infused title that is addictive and tough to put down. The vivid imagery and interesting array of weapons was fascinating. Additionally, the simple mechanics make this an easy game to master. However, its ruthless nature will make you scream repeatedly.

    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.

    Anthology of Fear is an out-of-the-box horror that fails to hit the right notes. Disappointingly, repetitive action and a lack of cohesion muddy the water. Furthermore, there are too many lulls to make this a truly horrific experience.

    At its heart, Necrobouncer is a fun little roguelike with a couple of nice ideas. Sadly, it struggles to find its USP, leaving it feeling competent but ultimately forgettable.

    The experience I came out with was more than worth it. It’s fun, weird and unsettling. What more could I ask for? I give it an 8.5/10. The only problems lie in the fact that I wanted more, more puzzles, more story, and also I’d love a bit more creepiness to keep the namesake. Anyways those were my thoughts on Creepy tale: some other place.

    Criminal Expert is an immersive FMV experience. Moreover, the setting is fantastic and the cinematic is top-notch. Accordingly, it is tough to put down. However, repetitive action reduces its replay value.

    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.

    If you’re a die-hard snooker fan, you might get a kick out of it for a bit. However don’t expect anything mind-blowing. Here’s hoping the developers wake up and inject some real creativity into this dud in the future.

    "Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip” is a delightful and engaging collect-a-thon that combines humour, charming graphics, and enjoyable gameplay. Its unique premise and well-executed dialogue make it a standout title. Whether you’re a fan of quirky adventures or just looking for a fun and heart-warming game, “Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip” is a must-play.

    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.
