Section 13 is a top-down shooter with a distinctive worldview reminiscent of the SCP Foundation and compelling hidden subplots that add to its appeal. Unfortunately, repetitive gameplay and lack of polish make the game feel tedious and frustrating to play.- This Is Game

Elden Ring: Nightreign is a game in which FROMSOFTWARE builds on its core strengths while pushing into new territory. Although it falls short in areas like network performance, difficulty customization, and the enjoyment of combining Perks, it remains a worthwhile experience—so long as expectations are kept in check.- This Is Game

Best Served Cold is a uniquely charming title that blends the style of 'VA-11 HALL-A' with investigative gameplay. The captivating atmosphere of the Prohibition era and its engaging mysteries are definite highlights, but the overall experience is held back by an intrusive interface and persistent bugs.- This Is Game

People often say they wish they could unsee or unplay certain masterpieces so they could experience them again for the first time. While playing StarVaders, I felt the same rush of excitement I had when I first played Slay the Spire.- This Is Game

Commandos: Origins is a meaningful revival of the real-time stealth genre, which has returned after a long silence. However, bugs, poor optimization, and game crashes diminish its impact. It needs to be reborn as a better game through patches and updates.- This Is Game

All in Abyss: Judge the Fake features captivating characters drawn into the madness of gambling, with intense scenes that seem inspired by Danganronpa. However, the process of deducing opponents’ tricks can feel tedious, and issues with the game's core mechanics—the “poker battles”—ultimately result in a somewhat underwhelming experience.- This Is Game

What could possibly be so amazing about this game that everyone’s raving about it? But even the skeptic in me quickly fell in love. No exaggeration - if you love playing games, or especially if you make them, you’d be missing out big time by skipping this one. The game design is just that ridiculously good.- This Is Game

The unique sensory experience created through this new immersion brings a whole new level of enjoyment to the game.- This Is Game

Atelier Yumia takes a distinctly different direction from previous entries in the Atelier series, aiming for a format closer to that of a traditional JRPG. With a more serious and weighty narrative, real-time action combat, and expanded open-world exploration elements, the game attempts to carve out a new path for the franchise. While there are some shortcomings—such as clunky controls and a lack of clear content guidance—it successfully captures enough charm to appeal to newcomers to the series.- This Is Game

The First Berserker: Khazan delivers a rewarding hardcore action experience, appealing even to players unfamiliar with Dungeon & Fighter. Emphasizing mastery over its deep combat systems, the game offers increasingly satisfying gameplay the more time players invest. While some may expect similarities to FromSoftware titles, its design is more in line with Team Ninja’s Nioh series, delivering a fast-paced and technical challenge.- This Is Game

Civilization 7 falls short in maintaining the series' legacy in certain aspects. The new mechanics didn't seamlessly integrate with the expectations of veteran players, and it often felt more akin to a character-driven RPG than a simulation game. Consequently, the game left a lasting impression of hollowness.- This Is Game
