    Sometimes, it’s easy to want a new game to break the mold and offer true innovation, but with a genre as saturated as cozy games, that’s extremely difficult to do. While we’d be remiss in ignoring where there’s room for improvement, we’d also be remiss in ignoring what Potions: A Curious Tale does well.

    Unboxathon is a delightful experience for fans of incremental clickers, mystery boxes, and gacha games. It’s a simplistic and soothing game in terms of its core mechanics, with a short runtime and a burst of achievements that make it ideal for completionists who want a bite-sized game to chew through.

    While there were beautiful elements to Ayasa: Shadows of Silence, like the striking visuals and interesting soundscape, the issues with performance, falling through the map, and mapping made some sections more frustrating than enjoyably challenging. If you’re a die-hard Little Nightmares or Tim Burton movie fan, you may still find some enjoyment with Ayasa: Shadows of Silence. The world it portrays is admittedly intriguing, but the performance and overall experience didn’t feel great.

    Lanesplit still needs work on the technical front, but when the bigger issues are sorted, it’ll be fun as a casual experience, the kind you jump to when you want to unwind. The actual driving between lanes part is the one that wears out its welcome the quickest, which is a shame, as with a little more structure, it could be something special.
