Circus Electrique Review
Circus Electrique imagines a steampunk version of London overrun by maniacs where the city’s only hope lies with a ragtag group of circus performers. While promising on paper, odd design choices bring the level of spectacle down significantly.
Steelrising Review
Automatons stalk the streets of Paris and King Louis XVI rules with an iron fist. It would be a shame if there were a more advanced robot to put a stop to the whole thing.
No Place for Bravery Review
No Place for Bravery is a tale about a grizzled combat champion picking up arms to rescue his long-lost daughter. So why does its combat feel like such a thankless chore?
Sunday Gold Review
BKOM Studios’ Sunday Gold merges point-and-click adventure and turn-based RPG mechanics. While the result is an average representation of both, it makes for an interesting attempt at a genre mashup.
Valkyrie Elysium Review
Valkyrie Elysium marks the return of a long dormant JRPG series, this time as an action RPG. Fast paced combat and strong supporting cast are bolstered by thoughtful homage to the parent series.
The DioField Chronicle Review
The DioField Chronicle provides an engaging and refreshing real time tactical battle system. That will be enough for fans of tactical RPGs, but the bland story unfortunately can’t keep up with its stellar gameplay.
Manafinder Review
Manafinder incorporates several mini-games to add more fun to its adventure. This pixel-art turn-based RPG from small indie developer Wolfsden makes for an engaging and highly enjoyable experience.
Potion Permit Review
Potion Permit is a mashup of RPG and slice-of-life. While it’s a game with a ton of promise, its buggy launch state takes much of the shine off.

The first title of the Crossbell duology is finally landing in the west. Is it worth exploring this unique province’s stories? Signs absolutely point to yes.
Jack Move Review
Jack Move is a cyberpunk RPG that is reminiscent of pixel JRPGs and the ’80s. While its short adventure and soundscape are enjoyable, a clichéd story fails to stand out.
I Was a Teenage Exocolonist Review
Exploring connections and dealing with gut-punching disasters are at the core I Was a Teenage Exocolonist experience. This card-based narrative adventure brings emotion in spades as it tells a touching story about life.
Metal Max Xeno: Reborn Review
Metal Max Xeno: Reborn claims to provide an open-world sandbox of vehicular mayhem. Unfortunately, technical problems and confounding gameplay changes undermine the campy charm of this post-apocalyptic series.
Salt and Sacrifice Review
Ska Studios returns with its follow-up to action RPG Salt and Sanctuary. Though the game largely treads familiar ground, it features an unnecessary innovation that feels shoehorned in.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Review
Monolith Soft returns with another title in the Xenoblade Chronicles series. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 certainly doesn’t disappoint as the studio takes full advance of both its ambition and maturity.
