When Holly Redfield started playing Valkyrie Saga, it didn’t impress. But after spending some time with the game, the platformer’s idiosyncrasies began to grow on her.

Review | The Incident at Galley House - A Help-Type Game
The Incident at Galley House upholds the strengths of Type Help, but falters with its new material.
Hiero de Lima reviews.
Review | Letter Lost - An Ambitious, Unstable Working Environment
Letter Lost has a compelling premise, but its buggy execution diminishes the experience.
Dominic Cichocki reviews.
Review | Aphelion - Retreading (Not) Uncharted Territory
Aphelion’s character-centric focus comes at the expense of its environmental messaging.
Jay Weaver reviews.
Review | Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era (Early Access) - The Start of a Golden Era
Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era successfully evokes the peak of this classic series with a wealth of polished content right from the start of its early access period.

Review | D-topia - Paradise (Stay Forever)
D-topia is a thoughtful exploration of a world ruled by AI. While it might be too subtle for its own good in places, it endeavours to highlight humanity’s need for imperfection.

Review | Moonlight Peaks - I Hate the Neighbours, They Hate Me Too
Moonlight Peaks is an exercise in suffering disguised as a spooky-cute farming game.
Hiero de Lima reviews.
Review | Tavern Talk Stories: Dreamwalker - Service With a Snooze
Tavern Talk Stories: Dreamwalker outstays its welcome with lengthy, uninteresting character conversations and a mixology minigame that quickly becomes repetitive.

Review | Thank You For Your Application - Workplace Discrimination Simulator
If jumping through bureaucratic hoops in Papers, Please is your idea of a good time, Thank You For Your Application should also appeal.
Ali Rees reviews.
Review | The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time - This Isn’t an RPG
The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time’s title is quite the mouthful, so it may not be surprising that its gameplay is can be similarly convoluted.
Brandon Craw reviews.
Review | Wax Heads – Community Rocks
Wax Heads is a groovy game with great musical and visual details, but the needle skips when it comes to its narrative and characters.
Tomás Neumann Aspee reviews.
Review | Dead as Disco - A Night to Remember
Dead As Disco’s early access launch shows promise, with enjoyable boss fights and additional modes where you can battle to the beat of your own drum.
Zackary Edwards reviews.
Review | Bubsy 4D - The Bobcat Chases Golden Fleece
Bubsy remains the fourth-wall-breaking, pantsless chatterbox many people love to hate. But in Bubsy 4D, Luis Aguasvivas has found a lot to love for its own sake.
Review | Swan Song - A Basic Gander at Grief
Swan Song’s music notation-themed puzzles make for satisfying gameplay, but they are paired with a lackluster narrative.
Dominic Cichocki reviews.
Review | Gecko Gods - Cold-Blooded and Warm-Hearted
Gecko Gods’ lizard-centric puzzle solving and exploration calls to mind games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Ico.
Jay Weaver reviews.
Review | Will: Follow The Light - Tell, Don’t Show?
Will: Follow the Light seeks to provide an immersive experience, but makes a misstep with its exposition-heavy narration.
Gonçalo Santos reviews.
Review | Mixtape - The Greatest Hits
For all the talk around Mixtape the last few days, it kinda feels like there's been frustratingly little talk *about* Mixtape.
Tomás Neumann Aspee tries to separate the static noise from music in their review.
Review | Replaced - As Alive As You Want Me To Be
Replaced nails the cyberpunk aesthetic with its highly cinematic art direction and a synth-centric soundtrack, though its gameplay at times leaves something to be desired.

Review | Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth - A New God for Triflers
Hyper Games’ Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth is worthy of devotion and even better than its predecessor.
Luis Aguasvivas reviews.
Review | The Ratline - New Names to Old Faces
In Owlskip Games’ The Ratline, the player unravels a mystery and unmasks Nazi war criminals. While it stands on a strong premise, the game’s narrative takes a backseat to its deduction mechanics.
