UPDATE: Sony has changed their mind about the update from Twitter. I hope this is good news to anyone concerned and bless everyone a good dive for Super Earth!

Card City Nights 2 is a deck building card battler with the twist of funny story, smooth gameplay and fun character. I very much enjoyed the first instalment but knowingly felt more connection and passion was put in to the first title. The sequel, while a great blast and a new twist to Card City Nights, felt slightly clunky in terms of loading times and slightly laggy gameplay, even on modern graphics. It may be an optimisation thing but it is a rare occasion and didn't break the game in any way. My only real request is to make the game Steam Deck compatible. It's perfect for that market and while using the trackpad works fine, if a control layout could be made for the game, please add it.

[Early Access Review]

Melody's Escape 2 is the long awaited sequel to the fast-paced rhythm runner that was the first Melody's Escape. This title features a brand new engine and graphics, along with new ways to customise your character and experience. The custom song level generator is intense and dynamic in its levels based on the songs and creates a scenic track with all sorts of hurdles. For early access and from my own playing, there is still a few things to iron out (odd or missing beats in some levels, minor graphical details) but how the game currently stands, it's well worth your money. The developer, Loic, is very passionate about future updates and I look forward to what comes down the line in the following year/s.

Cyberpunk is just one of those games that despite its rushed release due to literally too much hype, I can't help but fall in love with the world and story of Cyberpunk 2077. It is such an immersive environment and the story is so rich and awesome to follow along with. The cast is great, the soundtrack is beautiful and the story is one to remember for a long time. I did complete the game three days after release so there were some notable bugs in my gameplay, but I did get lucky compared to a couple of friends who bricked in some parts.

I do highly recommend this game and I hope CD Projekt Red continues to work on this game.

No Mans Sky is a treasure trove of innovative design, rich environment and a easy flowing gameplay. Nothing is more fun than creating a base with your friends, exploring never-ending planets and creatures, and understanding the genius in playing in an environment that is 100% procedurally generated. The game keeps me coming back for more with its vast community and community-focused developers.

Hello Games has done something phenomenal with this amazing game and I see it as a leader in procedurally generated games.

No Mans Sky - 9.5/10

Clay Game is a funny clay-created world of cheap laughs, puzzles, and silly story. The game has this means of charm that is well worth an hour or two of its total playtime. I felt the story was witty, and although there was the occasional older audience joke, I could at least chuckle at off-guard one liners and tunes. Its definitely worth a download to waste a small afternoon on. Although small story and simple models, I enjoy the charm and love that went into this game by Everything Lab, and hope to see more content in the future.

Clay Game - 7/10

(Unlike my other reviews, this game was played over two streams in extended periods of time. Because of extensive gameplay times, review may be biased due to extensive sessions)
The Witness is a atmosphere-focused puzzle game that involves the progression and expansion on different ways of solving the given problem. The game succeeds in providing interesting new ways of solving puzzles such as reflections in the water, scratches on the puzzle, as well as he different types of scenarios for different areas of puzzles. My only flaw I noticed with the game was the lack of a reward with solving complex puzzles. The game atmospheric presence is soothing, but not enough for a long period of puzzle solving as it begins to become frustrating as finishing areas of puzzles only leads to more puzzles.

None the less, The Witness is relaxing in shorter gameplay sessions, and at times is quite enjoyable for a brain teaser in a soothing atmosphere.

The Witness - 7/10

Wizard 101 is a blast-from-the-past rpg fantasy game within a mixture of a card/spell casting mechanic that provides the player with a setting of the heavy grind ahead that is the wizarding world. The extended story quests, which have been continued over the many years of it being released, mean that the player can come back every now and then to continue their wizard legacy. Overall, the game runs well enough for the standard computer, however, the lack of freedom in this game can be an issue for new and existing players, as well as the repetition of continuously running back and fourth doing quests after mission after journey. But of course, the game comes back with witty story and a large cast of characters, items and unique ideology of how the user wishes to play the game, which in saying, lets the game continue to be enjoyable and a ball of fun, especially with friends.

Wizard 101 is an iconic game that has stuck around for many years and still has an active community to this day, and has done well in thanking them with content and nostalgia.

Admittedly, I had a good time playing, the controls are somewhat stiff though. I'll try to click on a character and it wouldn't detect it, i would cast a spell and it wouldn't know it. However they happened on a rare basis. The game mechanics itself is pretty decent. The game itself does start out with hard difficulty though and when you play for the first time, you will see yourself repeating the first levels.

Other than that, I enjoyed it enough to give it a thumbs up.
