Realm of Ink: solid roguelite or just another clone?

Realm of Ink arrives with an ink and calligraphy art direction that captures attention immediately. The real question, in a genre this saturated: is that enough to make a good game?

Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch, the most beautiful love letter that doesn't know how to fight

The art direction is stunning, the View Askewniverse references are impeccable, and it takes us straight back to Double Dragon on Game Boy. Too bad the beat 'em up underneath is this sluggish.

CARNEDGE: ten years of work, three people, a game that deserves your attention

A dark fantasy deckbuilder roguelite made by three people over ten years. CARNEDGE is rough, ambitious, and frankly more interesting than half this week's releases.

Cleaning Up!: clean up... then forget

Cleaning Up!: clean up... then forget

Cleaning Up! belongs to that category of games that bet everything on a simple concept. Perhaps too simple. An idea without development, a loop without soul, and a lasting impression of a demo that leads nowhere.

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss: diving into the unknown, at the risk of getting lost

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss doesn't try to scare you. It tries to provoke something rarer: unease. A slow descent toward what surpasses us, faithful to the Lovecraftian spirit, but not without concessions.

Gecko Gods: the sacred lizard climbing where others don't dare

Gecko Gods sticks you to walls, ceilings, and the ruins of a forgotten civilisation. And somewhere between the third temple and the tenth fall into the void, you realise you haven't put the controller down in two hours.

Heartopia: the cozy game that wants your happiness... and your credit card

Heartopia promises a stress-free paradise with no competition and no bad vibes. What it doesn't mention in the trailer is that inner peace has a price. And that price is paid in premium currency.
