The Horror at Highrook is a look at eldritch horror through the lens of a TTRPG. While the game can have a lot of text, the management style of gameplay sets it apart from other horror titles and will ensure you lose hours of time before it's done.
Lost Records: Rage is the conclusion to what Bloom had set up in the previous release. While the game isn't perfect, it settles into the themes of consequences and emotion that surpass both Life is Strange and Bloom.
Lushfoil Photography Sim is a beautiful experience that can truly make anyone fall in love with the world of photography. While the game can be painted as simple, there is so much to love here once you start snapping shots. However, a bug regarding saving photos to your console on PS5 can detract from the experience, as your photos will be lost to time.
Nikoderiko: The Magical World Director's Cut is a good time for new fans, but those who have already played the original may debate on whether or not they want to return. With quality gameplay, an excellent soundtrack by David Wise, and pretty visuals, Nikoderiko is a platformer worth your time despite its lackluster narrative.
Finding Frankie has plenty of good ideas and charm, but it falls flat on execution in areas. Regardless, if you're interested in a new game to speedrun, look no further.
Level Devil is a fun and satisfying concept that is increasingly becoming hard for me to put down. With hundreds of unique levels to explore, you're bound to have a great time, though be prepared for some instances of frustration as you learn the ropes.
SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered is a wonderful way to experience this classic RPG. Regardless of whatever story path you may choose, you are guaranteed a good time.
Your House presents a memorable narrative in a unique way, with the game feeling like reading a good book. Coupled with a wide variety of puzzles and a great protagonist, Your House is a game worth your time.
Assault Suit Leynos 2 Saturn Tribute is a very fun game that will make you want to replay it over and over again, but the limitations of this port and strange viewing options leave a lot to be desired.
Trailmakers: Pioneers brings exciting ideas into a game that is built around a fun and functional core, but the systems around it are lacking any staying power. Although I had an absolute blast building my heart away, I wanted more from the campaign and combat, and this was enough to unfortunately detract from my overall experience significantly.
Lost Records: Bloom is a wonderful time that explores the past and present while presenting an intriguing mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat. Don't Nod somehow managed to capture the energy of the first two Life is Strange titles while giving something new and heartfelt.
