Code Vein
A visually striking action RPG with thrilling boss battles and satisfying combat. Its storytelling occasionally loses focus, but the overall experience is rewarding for players who enjoy challenge and spectacle.
Elden Ring
Elden Ring is my favourite game of all time: a vast, brutal, beautiful journey through ruin, grace, and discovery. Its world, combat, atmosphere, and personal meaning make it an unforgettable masterpiece.

AI Limit
AI Limit delivers solid Soulslike combat and thoughtful systems, but struggles to stand out in a crowded genre. Familiar yet enjoyable, it offers a reliable experience without truly redefining expectations.
Scarlet Nexus
Scarlet Nexus is a stylish and ambitious action RPG that blends psychic combat, anime storytelling. Repetition and limited enemy variety hold it back, but its world, cast, and combat make it memorable.
