The Séance of Blake Manor is a supernatural detective mystery initially released on PC in 2022. Players take on the role of an investigator seeking a missing young woman in rural Ireland in 1879. It has been praised by critics, including Matt Wales, who described it as “fantastically atmospheric” and “incredibly tense.” The game was listed as the 19th favorite game of 2025 in an annual ranking.
Mouthwashing is a first-person horror game characterized by a retro PS1 aesthetic, offering a time-hopping narrative aboard a space-faring ship. Katherine, in her review, noted that “Mouthwashing is a wildly inventive horror game that plays with the boundaries of time and space to exhilarating effect.”
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, the enhanced version of the acclaimed Remake trilogy’s first installment, was originally launched in 2021, and its arrival on Xbox earlier this year has been highly anticipated. Despite its age, the game continues to receive accolades for its quality, as highlighted by Alex Donaldson.
