iAX: "As an indie visual novel gamer, I take pride in being able to play a variety of games brought forth by the creative community. This time, I had the opportunity to play through Hanako Games‘ Date Warp. Want to find out how Date Warp stacks up against the rest? Read on to find out.
Date Warp’s title is fairly explanatory. You play as Janet, a young woman who goes on her first date with Bradley. Just as the title might hint at, your date goes horribly wrong. First there’s a downpour of rain, and next your date’s car breaks down. Soaking wet, the pair makes it to a mysterious mansion for shelter. However, it turns out that a group mysterious men who are also inside the mansion are hiding something from you. Janet will soon discover what exactly is the mystery behind them and the mansion."
COGconnected's picks for the Top 5 Video Games Arriving in June 2025, ranked by hype and quality expectations.
Sandfall focused on quality over quantity, and didn't want to stuff the game just to make it larger and larger.
So the opposing viewpoint that Ubisoft has these days? Good. I'm sick of extra long, filler games, not because shorter is better, but rather because I want an exciting game all the way through, and I'd rather have less content, if that content is of higher quality (more unique scenarios or freedom to complete an objective in my own way), than repeatedly performing copy & paste boring quests throughout a massive game map. That to me is not interesting.

Length to price is a stupid metric. You can play a 8 hour masterpiece and it can stay with you for years.
Or you could play a overinflated generic game for 80 hours that repeats it's gameplay loop ad nauseum while collecting 100s of items around a map with no purpose
Each game sells for full RRP what would you prefer.
Maybe it's just me but the older I get I just want games to respect my time. If a game is justifiably long great if a game bloats itself for no reason I hate it
The highly anticipated Elden Ring spinoff has just been released, but the reception is mixed at best. FromSoftware faces some serious feedback from the fans, with many blaming the lack of some core co-op features from Elden Ring: Nightreign.
I haven't played it, but there should have been a dual co-op option at launch, and if the game is not strictly balanced from going solo to 3 people, then that is a major flaw.
