Review
REPLACED is a breathtaking cyberpunk pixel-art experience that earns its long development through visual craft and narrative ambition rarely seen in the medium. Combat, platforming, and save system rough edges keep it from greatness, but what works here works at an exceptionally high level.
Review
A bold, beautiful sci-fi adventure that prioritizes atmosphere and emotion over action

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is a stunning achievement in both art direction and game design. Its hand-drawn 1930s aesthetic is not merely cosmetic — it informs every aspect of the gameplay, from the cartoon-logic weapons to the impossible architecture of its meticulously crafted levels. Combined with sharp shooting mechanics, genuinely engaging detective sequences, and Troy Baker's charismatic lead performance, this is one of 2026's must-play shooters.
Review
A visually stunning adventure held back by repetitive combat, but its unique setting makes it worth experiencing
