REVIEW: Gecko Gods (2026 Video Game) - on Nintendo Switch

Gecko Gods is a charming puzzle adventure that focuses on exploration, climbing and gentle puzzle solving across a forgotten archipelago. Controlling the gecko is enjoyable, with the freedom to scale almost any surface making movement the highlight of the experience. The world is visually appealing, and the act of discovering relics, insects and hidden areas gives the game a steady sense of purpose throughout its short runtime.

The puzzle design is well judged, offering challenges that are engaging without becoming frustrating, and the overall structure keeps things accessible and relaxed. However, the climbing system can become confusing depending on camera angle and surface orientation, and the similar-looking environments can make navigation tricky. With a short completion time of around four to six hours for the story and limited replayability, it feels slightly expensive at full price, but still delivers an enjoyable and polished little adventure.

REVIEW: Froggy Hates Snow (2026 Video Game) - on PC Steam

Froggy Hates Snow is a simple but incredibly addictive little game. The loop of starting a level, shovelling through snow, looking for gold and gems, then returning to the safe hub to upgrade and repeat works very well. The graphics are perfectly decent for this type of game, and it also stands out for letting you play with or without enemies. The anomaly zones add an extra challenge, and overall it feels like a charming game with fun mechanics and a distinct personality.

The main negative is that the levels can feel a bit samey after a while. Even so, the core loop remains strong, and Froggy Hates Snow still delivers an enjoyable survival roguelike experience built around digging, collecting, and upgrading.

REVIEW: Sky Legends - An aeropostal Epic (2026 VR Video Game) - on MetaQuest

 

Sky Legends: An Aeropostal Epic takes VR aviation in an unexpected direction, focusing less on pure flight action and more on the wider story of early commercial aviation. Set in the 1920s, it places players into the roles of pioneering figures, blending flying sequences with exploration, management and puzzle solving. What stands out most is how much variety it manages to pack into what initially appears to be a straightforward flight experience.

The game succeeds through its atmosphere, strong visual identity and thoughtful mix of gameplay styles, even if the point and click movement system feels slightly restrictive in VR. It is slower paced than traditional flight titles, but that works in its favour for anyone interested in history and narrative driven design. The end result is an engaging and surprisingly rich VR experience that feels both educational and entertaining.

REVIEW: The End of the Sun (2026 Video Game) - on Playstation 5

The End of the Sun is a first person adventure set in a Slavic inspired fantasy world where you play as the Ashter, a fire mage and tracker of mythical beings. You arrive in a village caught in a strange time rift, where reality has broken apart and only smouldering hearths hint at what once happened. Using a magical connection to fire, you uncover hidden traces of past events, interact with spirits, and follow the path of a legendary creature across a landscape shaped by myth and forgotten rituals.

The core experience revolves around moving between bonfires, solving light environmental puzzles, and travelling through time to witness different stages of the same village across seasons and years. Each discovery alters how events unfold, gradually revealing a larger mystery tied to the distortion of time itself. Exploration, investigation and atmospheric storytelling drive the experience, although progression can occasionally be disrupted by unclear direction or technical issues that affect flow.
