Making subjectivity useful.
PC / PS5 / Switch - 8/27/2025
Varlet
To be a "leader" that guides others forward, or to be an uncompromising "ruler"...VARLET is a school life RPG where, through encounters with troubled boys and girls who are also searching for themselves, you begin to uncover a version of yourself you never knew existed.

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
