Not going to college? Parents got you down? Exes demanding respect? Outerloop Games and Annapurna Interactive introduce players to the world of Thirsty Suitors, a game where being queer and disappointing people is par for the course, and Sam Wachter provides her feedback.

What do you get when you mix a fun hack-and-slash dungeon crawler with adorable designs? Ryan Costa looks to see how Marvelous’ Silent Hope answers that question, but notes that players shouldn’t ask anything of its Princess.

The Phantom Thieves are back to explore a chibi kingdom in Persona 5 Tactica. Luis Mauricio reports that after a few hours, its grid-based combat promises a game that will steal some hearts.

Little Goody Two Shoes is a fascinating combination of dark fairy tale horror with time management and dating sim elements. Alex Fuller finds its excellent style and creeping dread is somewhat tempered by its barriers to progress.
