A by-the-numbers post-apocalyptic RPG, Encased starts off strong, but peters out long before it can deliver a satisfying conclusion to its initially intriguing storylines.

Its threadbare budget may make things clunkier than they ideally should've been, but even so, Expeditions: Conquistador manages to simply ooze with the spirit of adventure as you explore the New World, never certain if you'll have enough supplies to reach the next point of interest.

An entertaining way to spend an evening with friends, with enough twists and turns to justify at least two or three playthroughs.

While its tone and balance are all over the place, when it works, ATOM RPG: Trudograd can be just as good as the Fallout games that inspired it. And its unique post-apocalyptic Soviet setting is still very much fresh and exciting.

A fantastic tabletop RPG in video game format that can boast some incredibly polished gameplay, Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars features an immersive world brought to life by the game master & cards gimmicks, and plenty of interesting characters that do not conform to genre tropes & cliches. It is, however, a bit too short and slightly too easy.

The core gameplay is fun, but the digital version brings all the problems from the board game with no solutions. The single-player mode misses out on the social aspect that makes the board game worth playing, without making up for it in mechanics or story.

Fun in its own right, King's Bounty II can't quite reach the heights of its impressive predecessors even despite taking things in a more RPG-oriented direction. And its cliffhanger ending isn't doing it any favors either.

Inscryption boasts solid deck-builder-style gameplay supported by excellent writing, sound design, and overall atmosphere. While some puzzles were too easy, and the puzzle-like nature of the deckbuilding itself hurts replayability, it's still easy to recommend Inscryption to anyone who finds its aesthetics and tone appealing.

The pinnacle of Metroidvania in every aspect, Metroid Dread delights us with incredible boss fights that feel rewarding to learn, and offers hyper-responsive controls that make controlling Samus a blast. And in the meantime, the added horror elements revitalize an already successful formula.
