Recent reviews from our desks in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt
Pentiment — Quiet Triumph
A narrative slow-burn that rewards patience; the woodcut art style and branching consequences make every playthrough feel personally earned.
Cocoon — Puzzle Mastery
Tight, elegant world-nesting mechanics with barely a wasted frame; one of the most confidently designed puzzle games we routed this year.
Sea of Stars — Nostalgia Done Right
Turn-based combat that respects the classics without copying them outright; pacing dips mid-game but the final act sticks the landing.
Jusant — Climbing With Purpose
A meditative ascent with no combat and no filler; the rope physics alone justify a slot on any list of recent standouts.
Dredge — Atmosphere Over Everything
Fishing sim dread executed with restraint; the horror creeps in through implication rather than jump scares, and it works.
Chained Echoes — Structure Well Earned
A JRPG that respects your time with a smart overworld vehicle system; combat balance holds up from the first hour to the last boss.
How We Score
The process behind every rating on this page
We finish every campaign or reach a defined completion benchmark before publishing a verdict, no early impressions passed off as reviews.
Scores are argued in the text itself, not inflated for headline traffic; we'd rather be trusted than trending.
Every review passes through multiple hands on the Sharm El Sheikh crew before it goes live, cross-checking routes, bugs, and claims.
We judge a Metroidvania against its genre peers, not against an unrelated shooter, so ratings stay meaningful across categories.
