Leenzee Games has created an ambitious debut that, for all its rough edges, manages to be a solid contender in the Soulslike genre. Atmospheric and challenging, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers captures the essence of what makes these games enduringly popular, even as it struggles with uneven balance, difficulty spikes, and poor...

Monument Valley has never been about difficulty. These games are more about presence than challenge, more about feeling than frustration. Monument Valley 3 continues that philosophy while pushing its boundaries outward. It doesn’t reinvent the formula entirely, but it evolves it in quiet, confident ways. As a standalone experience, it...

Wheel World is a gorgeous and creative game with a soul, even if that soul is a little lost. It tries to say something big, but the message gets tangled in the spokes. The biking is fun, the customization is deep, and the world is worth exploring. The story? That...

Beatable brings a creative, enjoyable experience to the table best enjoyed with friends. Being able to use your desk or a table as a controller really gives you a chance to feel like you're physically doing something. XR Games has done an excellent job at producing an interactive rhythm game...

My Friendly Neighborhood is a creative and memorable adventure that balances its kid friendly exterior with real depth, wit, and polish. While it doesn’t redefine survival horror, it stands as an example of what innovative ambition and personality can achieve in an oversaturated market. Not everything needs to be a...

Despite its occasional, technical shortcomings, I think Bygone Dreams is a great, action-filled RPG romp for diehard fans of the genre. It’s also easy to recommend for those who are curious about soulslikes but who want an easier experience. Of course, those aforementioned and often sadistic diehards can enjoy a...

Whether you’re reliving the golden days or discovering the Backyard series for the first time, this is an essential pickup. Backyard Baseball '01 doesn’t just hold up—it still hits it out of the park.

PATAPON 1+2 REPLAY isn’t trying to reinvent the series. It doesn’t need to. These two games stand tall as some of the most original titles ever made for a handheld, and they work just as well now with a controller in hand and the volume up. It’s a love letter...

Grifford Academy is a solid turn-based RPG. The story is pretty decent, filled with interesting conversations and situations that highlight relationships with friends and loved ones that can cause issues regardless if you have the same goals. The combat system, while limited, works well to provide a challenge by adding...

No Sleep For Kaname Date does not try to be a full sequel, and that works in its favor. It is a focused, gripping side story that builds on everything that made AI: The Somnium Files memorable. Longtime fans will appreciate the returning cast and deeper lore, while newcomers might...

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is a content rich package that delivers hours of addictive gameplay and arcadey old school fun. Its technical polish, responsive controls, and lovingly recreated levels make it an essential experience for both veterans and newcomers. Yet, the mishandling of Pro Skater 4’s campaign...

I definitely think that hardcore RPG fans will find a lot to enjoy with this game. For fans of the series, it might be worth revisiting as well. The jump to HD might appeal to some, however, there’s something to be said about the loss of the game’s nostalgic, chunky...
