Talisman: Origins is a frustratingly difficult board game where you life depends on the dice you roll and the cards you draw. It’s not my type of game but I can see the appeal for tabletop fans. 6/10

bookmark_borderRobozarro (2019) Review
Robozarro is a mix of platformer and point & click that feels like an Early Access title. It has some solid concepts, but the controls are slippery enough that it ruins the rest of the game. 4/10
bookmark_borderBokuten – Why I Became an Angel (2019) Review
Bokuten – Why I Became an Angel may seem like a fantasy romance VN at first glance, but as you progress through the storyline you’ll discover that the game isn’t as cheerful as you might think. 6/10
bookmark_borderBallance: The Return (2019) Review
Ballance: The Return tries to be a futuristic take on the original, but puts priority on touchscreen controls and is certainly more cumbersome to play. It’s a shame, since I loved the original. 4.5/10
bookmark_borderA Tofu Tail (2019) Review
A Tofu Tail is a tile-based puzzle game where you can only travel across tiles of the same element as you. It’s complex at times, but it stays interesting, so don’t worry if you need to restart. 6/10
bookmark_borderUnnamed Adventure (2019) Review
Unnamed Adventure is a platformer with well-done graphics that are mismatched stylistically, and decent but unpolished gameplay. The “weather effects” that cover the screen are very annoying. 4.5/10
bookmark_borderQueen’s Wish: The Conqueror (2019) Review
Queen’s Wish: The Conqueror is a dated yet well polished RPG that offers a solid adventure. I found myself bored while playing, but perhaps it is better suited for those who played old RPGs. 6/10
bookmark_borderAshes of the Night (2019) Review
Ashes of the Night feels like someone’s first attempt at an RPG Maker game – it’s not bad, but it has flaws such as inconsistent capitalization, missing collision boxes, graphical glitches, etc. 5/10
bookmark_border33 Rounds (2019) Review
33 Rounds is a simple dodging game where you navigate around meteors, bombs, and other hazards – but it quickly becomes boring. 4.5/10
bookmark_borderI LIKE THE FLOWERS (2019) Review
I LIKE THE FLOWERS is a short narrative that alternates between a rough gardening simulator and a memory puzzle. It can easily be completed in 20 minutes and isn’t very entertaining. 4/10
