Up today at GameCritics.com, Eugene Sax has a video quick look at Poly Fighter - a Steam Next Fest demo that combines fighting and roguelikes. Is it a chocolate + peanut butter situation? gamecritics.com/eugene-sax/f...

Also up at GameCritics.com today, new writer Michaela El-Ters offers up thoughts on Mina the Hollower, and its success in blending elements of Zelda and Souls to create something retro-yet-new, and entirely awesome. gamecritics.com/gc-staff/min...

Also up at GameCritics.com today, @baxnalley.bsky.social reviews Causal Loop. This sci-fi adventure manages multiple versions of yourself to accomplish things you can't do alone. Unfortunately, most of what you accomplish is pushing buttons... gamecritics.com/ryan-nalley/...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Mitch Z spends some time with the upcoming Rayman Legends remake -- it seems this 2D platformer is doing quite well in the modernization process! gamecritics.com/mitch-zehe/p...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Ben Schwartz reviews Bubsy 4D and finds that Atari's choice to hand the reins over to a proven indie developer was the right one. gamecritics.com/ben-schwartz...

Also up at GameCritics.com today, Ben Schwartz reviews The Artisan of Glimmith and finds the failure of one game can lead to the triumphant birth of the next. This stained glass puzzler is pure & perfect. Those interested in chill vibe plays should track it down! gamecritics.com/ben-schwartz...

Up today at gameCritics.com, Jason Ricardo covers Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered. The finale to this cult series gets a glow-up after 12 years... Fans might want to relive the plot, but mechanically, it shows how far we've come since then. gamecritics.com/jason-ricci/...

Up today at @GameCritics.com, Jack Dunn reviews Dosa Divas from @outerloopgames.bsky.social. He finds that this food-and-family-centric mech-battling action RPG is a delightfully delicious takedown of corporate culture. gamecritics.com/jack-dunn/do...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Darren Forman reviews Neon Inferno. This retro-inspired '80s-style run-and-gun with all the hyphens is clearly inspired by the classics, but can't quite hang with them despite some nice pixel work and theming. gamecritics.com/darren-forma...

Also up at GameCritics.com today, Eugene Sax offers up a video review of Nutmeg!, a football (or soccer, if you're in the US) management sim that uses a card-based interface. It's an interesting experiment but maybe still a bit too cryptic for genre newcomers... gamecritics.com/eugene-sax/n...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Jack Dunn covers Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf and finds it to be everything one could want in a sequel -- this wordless adventure examines relationships on both small scale and large. gamecritics.com/jack-dunn/pl...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Konstantin Koteski reviews Legacy of Kain: Ascendance. It's a surprise addition to the cult-fave series done in retro style. Unfortunately, the middling platforming and lukewarm writing pale compared to the series' high points. gamecritics.com/kkoteski/leg...

I reviewed @marathonthegame.bungie.net and after over 50 or so hours, I can confidently say it’s one of the finest shooters I’ve played in years. A perfect marriage of smart, tactical gunplay mixed with a gameplay loop that will eat away at any or all free time. Read below!

Up today at GameCritics.com, CJ Salcedo reviews the current version of Marathon and finds that @bungie.net's take on the extraction shooter genre is so compelling that it's killing his sleeping habits. gamecritics.com/c-j-salcedo/...

Up today at GameCritics.com, John Powell reviews Laysara: Summit Kingdom. This unique city builder challenges players to maximize the scant space available on the sides of steep mountains. Also, there are yaks. gamecritics.com/gc-staff/lay...

It’s been two years since Death of a Wish’s release. Thank you to everyone who’s played and supported us these past few years! We are introducing a price cut for the game to $14.99 (or your local equivalent) on Steam and itch. More info here store.steampowered.com/news/app/230...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Ben Schwartz reviews Demon Tides from @fabraz.bsky.social and find it to be a mechanical masterpiece full of joy and fun. An early contender for one of the year's best? MAYBE! gamecritics.com/ben-schwartz...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Darren Forman reviews Lovish -- it's a retro-styled platformer that offers a gazillion weird cutscenes between levels. (Also, the ethics of the main hero are... absent?) gamecritics.com/darren-forma...

This morning, I decided to write a bit about the problems that arise when remakes displace or get an older version of a game delisted. This can prevent players from understanding the full picture of a game's history.

Up today at GameCritics.com, Jason Ricardo reviews Resident Evil Requiem, the latest in Capcom's long-running horror series. The balance of elements combined with callbacks to previous entries and perfect pacing make it a showstopper every RE fan needs to play. gamecritics.com/jason-ricci/...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Ryan Nalley reviews the lates release in the long-running but little known Styx series, this entry titled Blades of Greed. Role play a bloodthirsty amoral goblin running rampant in an open-world city! gamecritics.com/ryan-nalley/...

Checkout out my latest review for GameCritics. Cairn from is truly something special!

Up today at GameCritics.com is a review of Cairn from Ryan Nalley. This mountain climbing experience is laced with multiple levels of discovery, and lands solidly with the writer, making this one from @thegamebakers.com something not to miss. gamecritics.com/ryan-nalley/...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Jack Dunn reviews Constance, an indie metroidvania with a colorful art style and a focus on mental health. In a year when its genre was chock-full, this one stands out. gamecritics.com/jack-dunn/co...

I wrote a little something (for the first time in ages) about my favorite games of the year. I didn’t play as much as years prior but the few games I mentioned here really spoke to me in different ways. Read below! Happy New Year!

Up today at GameCritics.com, CJ Salcedo covers Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac, and finds that while it may not rewrite the rules of 3D platformers, it does fully understand them and executes correctly. gamecritics.com/c-j-salcedo/...

Also up at GameCritics.com today, Jason Ricardo covers SiegeCaster, an homage to old-old-school tower defense (sort of!) that tries to pay homage without taking modern advances into account. gamecritics.com/jason-ricci/...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Ryan Nalley takes a journey through the haunted range with Blood West and finds its harsh, unforgiving supernatural gunslinging is something he couldn't put down. @newblood.games gamecritics.com/ryan-nalley/...

Today at GameCritics.com, new writer Adam Sharman tries his hand at Slime Rancher two and finds it to be an uneven experience... The first half delivers the goods, but some of the new things bright into the second half drag the ranching down. gamecritics.com/gc-staff/sli...

Up today at GameCritics.com, good man @rorenado.bsky.social covers Blippo +, a hugely unconventional experience which aims to capture the electricity and weirdness of experimental local-access TV. gamecritics.com/rorenado/bli...

Check out my review of Easy Delivery Co. for GameCritics!

Up now at GameCritics.com, Alex Prakken reviews Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a remake of the first game that kicked off this long-running RPG series. It feels both old and new at the same time, each in perfect amounts! gamecritics.com/alex-prakken...

Today at Gamecritics.com, Brad Bortone covers EA College Football '26 and walks away surprised... It seemed like the series ran out of gas last year, but it came roaring back with a vengeance! gamecritics.com/brad-bortone...

Today at GameCritics.com, Ryan Nalley reviews Rooftops & Alleys. This third-person parkour experience offers an intense focus on its highly-technical material -- perhaps to its detriment. gamecritics.com/ryan-nalley/...

Today at GameCritics.com, Ben Schwartz reviews Monster Train 2 and finds that it's bigger, better and more of what made the original so great. gamecritics.com/ben-schwartz...
