Erentaros Wandering ($39.99)
I have high hopes for this RPG as it comes from a new team led by the creator rune factory. i wish i could say Erentaros Wandering It didn’t live up to those hopes, but it was… definitely not there. I’ll have a review coming up soon and am still compiling my thoughts, but from my experience so far, this is a hard game to recommend. It feels like the developers didn’t have the budget to realize their ambitions and therefore had to dilute the broth too much. It’s a lot of hard work, and there’s not much here to make that hard work fun.
Drifter($7.99)
I mean, Nintendo has to approve this itself, so if it doesn’t care, then I don’t. It’s a relatively short action-adventure game that takes some obvious cues from: The Legend of Zeldathe Game Boy games in particular are almost certainly the main visual reference. The price is low enough to take a gamble on it if you find it interesting, and I’ll probably do so since I haven’t had a chance to play it myself yet.
Farewell North ($23.99)
In this game, you play as a border collie who goes on adventures with his humans in an attempt to restore the colors of the archipelago inspired by the Scottish Isles. As you progress you’ll unlock memories and hints about what happened to make this world lose its color, and while I haven’t played the game I have a very bad feeling the ending is one of the ones you’re going to experience. one. Our friend Mikhail will provide a review of it soon.
Serena Expedition ($5.99)
A short one-hour journey to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, where there is a mysterious facility. What is its purpose? Who built it? Can you find the answers to these questions? Do you want to? A bit of a horror platformer with a fun low-resolution vibe. Maybe worth a try.
Rewind or Die ($11.99)
Horror comedy? Comedy horror? In this game, you play as a video rental store clerk in the 1990s, and while it’s an open question whether you should be there today, the fact is you have to work hard at your job. A serial killer is on the loose. Tricky puzzles, over-the-top gore, multiple endings, and an important lesson for anyone dealing with tape media: rewind…or die.
Silent Crimson DX ($14.99)
This is a precision platformer where you play as a ninja and save your city from monsters. You must run and jump through nine worlds, showing off your moves against various traps, enemies, and bosses. There are secrets waiting to be discovered along the way, if only you have the skills to uncover them. This is a very good game if you like this genre. Although it is difficult, it is very satisfying.
Turn to Mine ($9.99)
Do some space mining in this puzzle game. Collect crystals and try to destroy enemy drones before they attack you first. Mechanically, this is a very unusual game in that you sometimes direct your miners like a real-time strategy game. Puzzle game fans looking for something a little different may enjoy what it has to offer. good!
Murder Game Over: Streaming Death ($4.99)
This is the follow-up to the incident murder game over Mystery Adventure, this time taking you inside the mysterious death of a social media star in a remote seaside village. But of course, everything is not as simple as it seems. Search the village, interview suspects, search for clues, and try to figure out what’s going on. Someone is guilty and it’s your duty to stop them before they have a chance to commit another crime.

That, my friends, is all for today and this week. We’ll be back next week with more new arrivals, more sales, more reviews, and some news. It looks like today’s highly anticipated typhoon has changed course, so that’s good. One less excuse to stay home and play video games, but I’ll figure something else out. Hope you all have a great weekend, and as always, thank you for reading!
