Tormented Souls 2 channels classic survival horror with inventive puzzles, atmospheric design, and clear passion for the genre, but its clunky, frustrating combat remains a painful flaw that keeps it from true greatness.

If Bye Sweet Carole has one thing going for it, it's absolutely going to be the classic 80's Disney vibe that guarantees some beautiful cutscenes. Unfortunately, that's where the fairytale ends for Little Sewing Machine's horror-esque puzzle platformer, in which frustrating controls, progress limiting bugs and poor audio dampen the overall experience to the point where you might lose interest before the clock strikes twelve. A lot of these issues are fortunately solvable, but for now, Bye Sweet Carole is a rabbit hole I'd rather avoid.

Little Nightmares III is a bit of a mixed bag. One thing is certain, Supermassive Games managed to keep Tarsier's legacy going by creating a sequel worthy of the name. Then again, Supermassive might have played it a bit too safe, resulting in a game that never really wows and occasionally feels like a step back. Little Nightmares III might be right up your alley if you're craving a Little Nightmares experience with online co-op gameplay, but if you're looking for a sequal that finally deals with the nightmarish controls from previous instalments... dream on.

Just like plenty of other Alien game developers, Survios tries to chase that Xenomorph dragon that has only been caught by a select few. Even though Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition theoretically ticks quite a few boxes to ensure success, it unfortunately fails in delivering a truly thrilling Alien experience, mostly caused by poor enemy A.I. and lackluster gunplay. If you're a die-hard Alien fan who's only looking for a reason to keep shooting at ammo absorbing but frankly docile Xeno's, there's some fun to be had. Otherwise, I'd advise you to skip this expedition.

Though set in Japan, Silent Hill f more than earns the name: over about twelve hours it delivers the franchise’s hallmark mix of metaphor-rich storytelling, sometimes opaque puzzles, and brutally unsettling scenarios that invite reflection—so while purists may balk at the setting change, open-minded players will likely find their doubts quickly fade.

No, I'm not a Human cleverly holds up a social mirror, turning your own paranoia, bias, and human flaws into the game’s sharpest weapon - though its impactful message risks being undercut by frustrating technical setbacks.

Cronos: The New Dawn leans on familiar gameplay but shines with its apocalyptic story, dystopian 1980s Krakow setting, and haunting synth soundtrack—held back only by clunky dodging and the lack of a proper map.

Nearly a decade after the poorly received Mafia 3, Hangar 13 returns to early 20th-century Sicily with Mafia: The Old Country—a visually stunning, story-rich yet predictable adventure whose charming 14-hour journey is only undermined by underwhelming combat and occasional performance issues.

Dead Take has the potential to be a strong psychological horror puzzler, but its scattered direction, lack of suspense, and unclear narrative thread hold it back from standing out in a crowded genre - despite solid acting and a haunting setting that could have delivered so much more.

Don’t ask me how, but Mike Klubnika once again commands attention with s.p.l.i.t., an idiosyncratic terminal hacking game aimed at old-school tech romantics with a taste for the grim and uncanny, delivering an uncomfortably intense half-hour experience that—despite its brief runtime—gets under your skin fast, provided you remember to brush up on your command-line skills before facing that so-called 'unethical superstructure'... or else, well, you know the drill.

Luto joins the ranks of divisive, artistically ambitious games—echoing the style of Hideo Kojima—with its metaphor-laden, psychological journey that, despite some visual flaws, lingers deeply and emotionally long after its surreal tale of isolation and acceptance ends.

The Drifter is a perfect example of a game that just clicks (pun fully intended). Powerhoof breathes new life into the once-dead genre, mixing Carpenter/King-style storytelling, dark synth vibes, and top-tier voice acting to create a point & click experience that goes down like a smooth cuppa tea. If you're after a retro-style adventure packed with challenge and clever trial-and-error design, The Drifter is well worth your time.

I’m rarely impressed by the overused “choices matter” tagline, but The Alters by 11 bit studios shows how it should truly be done—offering not just resource management, but deep existential dilemmas that force players to weigh mission against morality, making it a thought-provoking yet demanding experience best suited for those unafraid to fail and eager to explore both strategy and themself.

Leave it to the Swedes to come up with strong game concepts, as proven by The Gang's Out of Sight, where sneaking through a mansion with shady inhabitants—viewed through your teddy bear's button eyes—proves surprisingly satisfying, thanks to smooth transitions between first-person and fixed camera perspectives; though the 25-euro price for a sub-three-hour experience and the potential for motion sickness during intense chases might leave a bad taste in your mouth, especially when Starbreeze asks you to double-dip for the VR version.

RoadCraft tries to cater to both casual players and hardcore sim fans but ends up pleasing neither, with oversimplified mechanics undermining immersion for simmers and complex controls, sluggish pacing, and awkward physics frustrating the more casual crowd—though those deeply passionate about heavy machinery may still find value in its hefty content offering.

The Precinct is an entertaining police sim with a slow burn, where patience is required to unlock its murder mystery core amid Averno City's bustling chaos, though clunky AI, camera issues, and bugs can make the ride as frustrating as it is engaging.

La Quimera enters Early Access with bold ambition and occasionally satisfying gunplay, but its rough execution, bizarrely over-the-top narrative, and unintentional comedy make it hard to take seriously—unless you're in it purely for the sci-fi shooter chaos.

Post Trauma by Red Soul Games is a rough yet promising debut that modernizes classic fixed-camera gameplay well, despite clunky controls, frustrating combat, and some design missteps—but with a few patches, this could easily go from good to great.

After a long wait for a VR game to rival Half-Life: Alyx, Metro Awakening by VR powerhouse Vertigo Games initially seemed like a worthy contender, but after eight hours in Moscow’s post-apocalyptic metro tunnels, it’s clear that on the Quest 3, inconsistent graphics, problematic controls, lack of variety, and technical issues hold it back from reaching Alyx's heights, leaving only nostalgia to carry hardcore Metro fans through an experience that struggles to stay compelling over time.
