Action gameRift of the NecroDancer trades the roguelike dungeon for three vertical lanes, and the pivot mostly works: a rhythm game built on reading enemy patter...Good7.6Two Point Museum
Simulation gameTwo Point Studios' most layered management sim turns curation into a genuine creative act. It borrows heavily from its own back catalog, but the exped...Good7.9Necrobarista
Indie gameNecrobarista is a visually daring visual novel — a cel-shaded, camera-drunk meditation on death and coffee that aims for short-film territory. But its...Mixed6.5Haven
Adventure gameHaven is a rare thing—a game that treats an already-in-love couple as the story, not the reward. It's gorgeous, tender, and beautifully scored, but sh...Mixed6.6Eastward
