Soul Hacker 2 does a really good job crafting an enjoyable high stakes story and populating it with realized characters. Combat has been left mostly unchanged, which is for the better, but there's a lot to be desired in the copy-paste treatment of the large Soul Matrix dungeon.

What could've been a bridge between the veterans and the newcomers to Gundam instead becomes a product that will cast aside anyone looking for a crash course. The veterans should find more than their money's worth, though.

Yars: Recharged will please fans of the 1981 original, but that isn't enough to excite in this day and age. Poorly implemented upgrades to aged mechanics and a flat presentation make this recharge run out of juice right out of the gate.

After a promising start, PowerWash Simulator begins to expand in a way you cannot tackle feasibly, but only in scale. It’s one mechanic polished well enough to get by for a short while.

Although the gunplay felt solid and there's a lot of replayability, Midnight Fight Express' sloppy controls, poor story, and rather mediocre graphics make for an average-at-best experience.

Cult of the Lamb is devoted to a mix of gameplay styles that just doesn't gel. It's an addictive way to spend a dozen hours, but it's nothing worth your worship.

Digimon Survive manages to do a great job creating a unique Digimon game experience. Survive is able to deliver a mature Digimon story filled with lighthearted moments of group bonding, and tense moments that are some of the darkest Digimon has to offer. The Visual Novel gameplay helps nail the development of these relationships creating a story that players can invest in and that is sprinkled with past Digimon references. In combat, Digimon Survive does try to add its own Digimon spin to strategy combat, in some ways it does work but it will also leave you wanting for more in other areas. For a fan of Digimon storytelling or for Visual Novel games I think this is well worth picking up, if you're interested in Digimon Survive as an SRPG then you'll likely find the dialogue getting in the way of what you actually want to experience in a Digimon game.

While a cozy management game, Bear and Breakfast still needs to polish some of its "bare" necessities. (Review Policy)

Stray is an immersive and beautiful adventure game filled with so much detail and personality. Who knew solving puzzles as a cat could be so much fun?

Endling: Extinction Is Forever may not be perfect, but the story and experience it provides is a cut above.

That's really what Redout 2 lacks at the end of the day. It's not a game that sticks with you, even if the racing is solid and filled with colorful graphics. Track descriptions and loading screens describe a future world that an algorithm could generate, and all the narrative hooks lead to environments that could boil down to the generic elemental surroundings of any given Mario Kart. During each session, whenever there was a straightaway, my mind wandered intermittently. The only aspect of gameplay keeping my attention was trying to keep my car upright and ahead of the competition, and the races demanded a mechanical mastery that ensured I wasn't very good at either. Considering the lack of attention that Redout 2 pays to its surroundings, I'm not sure it's worth the investment to get better.

Super UFO Fighter is a party action game from developer VV-LABO and publisher Phoenixx that lets players duke it out by hoarding gachapons. The mechanics are simple and it can be pretty fun for a while, but it can lose its spark much too quickly after a few rounds.

It’s devastating to see all the goodwill and hope drain from The Tale of Bistun as time goes on. While it’s paced appropriately, with enough story laid out for the player to feel like the 5-6 hour campaign is worth it, there’s not a lot to glean from the experience. It’s not enough of an educational resource about Persian culture, it’s not a decent retelling of the original poem, and there’s not enough of a polished core in the combat mechanics. As it stands, there’s a page missing.

Voodoo Detective is a hand-drawn point-and-click adventure from Short Sleeve Studio that takes players on a cultural journey on the Zo Wanga Isle. It's a great tribute to retro titles in its genre, so if you're a fan, diving into this one is definitely worth your while. (Review Policy)
