  • Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties: A Heartfelt yet Flawed Return to the Series

    Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has earned a reputation for churning out high‑octane releases at a break‑neck pace, often two titles a year, while still managing to keep each entry feeling fresh. 2026 opened with a double‑dose of Yakuza content: the long‑awaited remake continuation Yakuza Kiwami 3, which pushes the story of Kazuma Kiryu forward, and Dark Ties, a compact…

  • Ys X: Proud Nordics – A Nordic Voyage Through Familiar Waters

    By the time the ships of the Ys series first set sail, players have come to expect a familiar blend of fast‑paced action, heroic storytelling, and a soundtrack that sticks in the mind long after the controller is set down. “Ys X: Proud Nordics” tries to take those expectations into uncharted seas, adding a splash of naval…

  • Nioh 3: A Wild Mash‑up That Somehow Works

    When Team Ninja announced Nioh 3, the expectation was simple: a fast‑paced, samurai‑styled Souls‑like with the trademark difficulty of its predecessors. What arrived, however, feels like a curious hybrid—the wide‑open exploration of Elden Ring, the clear‑cut map icons and waypoint system of a typical Ubisoft open‑world title, and the avalanche of loot you’d expect from a…

  • Disciples Domination: A Return That Gets the Balance Right

    The Disciples franchise has been a niche staple of the strategy‑RPG hybrid scene since its debut in 1999 with Disciples: Sacred Lands. Over the years the series has oscillated between ambitious attempts and occasional misfires, but each entry has retained a core identity: dark fantasy, heavy‑metal aesthetics, and a blend of turn‑based tactics with role‑playing…

  • Pathologic 3: A Hauntingly Beautiful and Bugfilled Experience

    Pathologic 1 and 2 might have flown under the radar for many gamers, but their dedicated fan base has kept the series alive, awaiting the next installment with bated breath.

  • Cult of the Lamb – Woolhaven: A Cozy Yet Challenging Return to the Flock

    When Cult of the Lamb first launched in 2022, it captured hearts and minds with its darkly whimsical blend of sinister cult leadership and adorable base-building charm. The game combined roguelike dungeon crawling with a settlement management system, all wrapped in a deceptively cute aesthetic. Now, over three years later, Massive Monster surprises fans with…

  • Earth Must Die: A Hilarious, Cinematic Sci-Fi Romp with Heart and Laughter

    Earth Must Die is a bold, irreverent entry in the point-and-click adventure genre, blending sci-fi absurdity with sharp humor and a star-studded cast to create an experience that’s equal parts hilarious and heartwarming. While it cheekily sets out to (potentially) destroy a planet, the game’s real mission is to entertain, and it succeeds with flying…

  • Lake: Season’s Greetings DLC – A Warm Embrace for the Holidays and Beyond

    Lake, the indie gem from Gamious, is a serene open-world adventure that focuses on finding oneself in a small town. As an employee of the postal service, players collect and deliver mail and packets while uncovering the personal stories of the townspeople. The game’s gentle pace, character-driven narrative, and emphasis on connection over action made…

  • Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora – From the Ashes: A Renewed Journey into Pandora

    Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora arrived with a world that dazzled the senses—lush bioluminescent forests, soaring cliffs, and a sky so vivid it felt almost tangible. Yet, despite the visual feast, the base game often felt strangely soulless, its narrative never quite reaching the epic heights promised by the  world. The story wavered between generic sci‑fi…

  • Skate Story: A Trippy Take on Skateboarding That Never Finds Its Balance

    In the realm of skateboarding video games, few titles have dared to venture as far into the realms of the bizarre and surreal as Skate Story. Developed by Sam Eng under the umbrella of Devolver Digital, known for their support of unconventional and avant-garde projects, Skate Story promises an experience that is as much about…
