🎻 "There’s something undeniably epic about conducting Duel of the Fates with a lightsaber baton."

I didn’t expect to love conducting orchestras in VR this much… but Maestro might be my new favorite rhythm game.

Whether you're into classical music or not, this game is wildly rewarding — with some clever humor, killer DLC, and a full concert hall reacting to your every move.

Maestro is a delightfully immersive VR rhythm game where you conduct iconic classical symphonies—and even fan-favorite tracks from Star Wars. With intuitive controls, charming humor, and an unforgettable stage presence, it’s a must-play for music lovers and VR fans alike.

"Even after 13+ hours, I’m still constantly surprised by Enshrouded. From soaring down cliff faces in a glider to barely surviving a one-on-one fight with a Fell Thunderbrute, the game delivers one high after another.

To be honest, I never expected something this polished and thoughtfully designed from the devs behind Portal Knights. But Enshrouded feels like their breakout moment—a game that isn’t just good for its genre, but genuinely great on its own."

You can read my full review of Enshrouded at the link!

Enshrouded is a survival-base builder that feels like more than the sum of its parts. With addictive exploration, meaningful progression, and rich co-op play, it proves that the genre still has fresh ground to break—especially when it looks and plays this well.
