    South of Midnight
    South of Midnight feels like a game that wanted to soar but never really left the ground. It’s undeniably gorgeous and hints at a level of creativity that, under better direction, could have led to an unforgettable adventure. However, between the undercooked combat, stilted platforming, and a meandering story that can’t decide on its central theme, it’s tough to recommend without a few asterisks. Hazel deserved more, and so did we. For now, South of Midnight remains a curiosity—worth a glance if you’re keen on its aesthetics or folk-infused premise, but ultimately lacking the cohesion it needs to shine.

    AI LIMIT
    AI Limit can appear like a by-the-books souls-like. Still, more than enough gameplay design decisions grant it inherent distinction, favoring those who prefer swifter movement in their action games. Coupled with an impressive array of character customization that individualizes one’s playthrough, alongside engaging exploration, you have a reasonably satisfying package here with a welcoming playtime of 20 hours or so. Yet, the meager challenge and mishandled balancing may turn off those seeking a more fulfilling venture.

    TRIBE NINE
    Without a gacha system—and maybe a simple shop for tension cards—Tribe Nine would have absolutely killed it on the PS Vita or Nintendo Switch. But I’ve been enjoying Tribe Nine a whole lot despite my misgivings about the medium, and I really cannot wait to see what new story beats they can cook up with this formula.

    Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection
    The Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection is a neat idea that goes a long way to preserve its fairly old titles, but on paper it's almost a novelty. There are a few games in the set that are worth digging into, but none of those feature online multiplayer at launch, and a lot of this collection is just going to be filler for most people.

    Piczle Cross: Rune Factory
    You're likely to know whether you will enjoy Piczle Cross: Rune Factory at a glance and it provides the kind of comfortable nonogram puzzling that many gamers have come to enjoy over the years. It's Rune Factory stylings are decent, but don't elevate the game beyond what it is at heart. Which for a puzzle game as engaging as this, isn't exactly a bad thing. Better to not spoil the broth with too many ingredients.
