Each level is designed to be a short run made to be beaten in about half a minute or less, barring the number of times you'll die learning the course.

The locales are neat, the corridor design is fine, but getting through the first couple of hours is a real chore. Combat fares better thanks to a smart implementation of Greek and Norse era mechanics, but Mega Cat Studios never manages to capture the God of War feeling. God of War Sons of Sparta is a satisfactory adventure in the God of War universe, but it's far from the triumphant return of the Greek era fans have been waiting for.

4.5 / 5.0 - Demon Tides
Feb 21, 2026

Like all Demon Turf's tools, how you use it is up to you, so if you want a vicious challenge or a guided tour, that's your call.

High on Life 2 is a sequel that takes meaningful steps forwards with its storytelling and variety, but also many steps back with its gunplay, level design and lack of refinement. It's an ambitious sequel that's fun in doses, but this comedy bit off way more than it could chew.

4.5 / 5.0 - Ride 6
Feb 9, 2026

RIDE 6 suffers in the technical areas with inconsistent visuals and bike sounds, along with a good bit of random, yet quick loading times. With more content coming in the future, this is the game that squids and twisty riders have been waiting for.
