Every verdict in the pen

Lootbound

A dark-fantasy roguelike where your inventory IS your build — the loot-packing puzzle is genuinely brilliant, wrapped in gorgeous Blasphemous-flavored art. Undercut by shallow combat and some heavy-handed RNG.

Anomaly President

First impressions after four hours: a wonderfully unhinged 'candidate by day, vigilante by night' roguelite with real style. A promising, early snapshot — not a final verdict.

Pass the Fear

Pass the Fear

A build-crafting bullet-hell that hands you a god-run and dares you not to grin. The gun toybox is a joy — it just runs the same bosses at you in the same order every single time.

Hades II

Hades II

A sequel that had every excuse to play it safe and instead rebuilt the formula around resource magic and two full parallel routes.

Balatro

Poker hands, illegal math, and 150 Jokers that break the game on purpose. The most dangerous 'one more run' button ever shipped.
