✍️ Reviews of the Week
Step into the Grim Syndicate universe for a unique TCG experience then create your own character to dive into neverending dungeon runs and loot to choose from in our two featured reviews:
 | Abysswalkers offers a well-designed TCG experience with an excellent tutorial that immerses players in the game's lore. The graphics are solid, with decent VFX, though additional effects for character play could enhance the experience. The audio design is competent but could benefit from more distinct sounds for attacks and effects. The gameplay is easy to understand and has depth, but the limited card variety restricts playstyle diversity. |
 | Seraph: In the Darkness has shown consistent improvement through numerous playtests, though it hasn't reached perfection. The graphics are impressive with clear visual effects, and the audio design features well-made sound effects, though the English version has some dialogue errors. The gameplay is enjoyable and easy to understand, with initial acts being relatively easy and increasing difficulty in the void realm tiers. The endgame offers hours of play but may feel purposeless once high-level items are acquired, although item trading could appeal to some players. |
