Saros review: cosmic chaos, bullet-hell brilliance, and why your thumbs will suffer (happily)

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream review: creative joy meets 3DS-era sharing regrets on Switch 2

Mouse: P.I. for Hire review: when noir meets cartoon cheese and everything starts to smell a bit off

The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin review: beautiful Britannia, shallow fights, and the same old gacha trap

Raccoin review: turning mindless coin pushing into a surprisingly deep (and messy) roguelike
TL;DR: A clever and chaotic roguelike built on coin-pusher mechanics that works more often than it doesn’t, but struggles to stand out in a genre full of heavy hitters. There’s…
