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: Midnight Swamp (2026 Video Game) - on PS5


Midnight Swamp is a dark point and click adventure set inside a strange fairy tale world, where a simple night by a lake turns into something far more unsettling. It keeps things tight and focused, leaning into old school design with puzzles that are fair, logical, and satisfying to solve. The hand drawn visuals suit the tone well, giving the swamp and its odd inhabitants a slightly storybook but uneasy feel.

The game is very short, which is its biggest drawback, often finishing in under an hour. There is some replay value for achievements, including a missable task involving the cat, but the experience still feels more like a compact vignette than a full adventure. Even so, it carries enough charm and atmosphere to make it worthwhile for fans of classic point and click games.
