Syberia – Remastered is a great achievement, even though there are some small problems with the animations, some clipping, and some choices that don’t match the style of the original. It presents Syberia to a new generation of gamers and lets old players relive the journey in a way that is more immersive, polished, and emotionally powerful.
Bounty Star does have some problems, though. Some players might not like the repetitive tasks, occasional grind, and uneven pacing, and the mix of genres can feel strange at first. But for people who are okay with its weirdness, Bounty Star is a nice change from other mech shooters. It's thinking-provoking and fun at the same time.
The Outer Worlds 2 demonstrates that Obsidian knows how to craft sequels: they retain what works, enhance features, add more options, and create a world that is both silly and scary, yet also very interesting. This is a great RPG to play, whether you’ve played the first one or this is your first time in Arcadia.
The Séance of Blake Manor is not just a mystery; it’s also a look at guilt, faith, and the ghosts that history leaves behind. The structure of solving a mystery is satisfying, but the real power of the work lies in the emotional and cultural depth beneath it. The story goes far beyond being a ghost story because of its themes of colonial exploitation and lost identity. The supernatural parts give it an otherworldly feel that stays with you long after the credits roll.
Tormented Souls 2 isn’t perfect, but it is a great survival horror sequel that knows exactly what horror fans want. It gets better, grows, and sometimes annoys, but it never changes who it is. Dual Effect didn’t follow the latest trends; instead, they built on what made the first game great, making careful changes to make it even better.
NINJA GAIDEN 4 does a good job of reviving a famous series. It stays true to the series’ core while adding new elements that feel natural and exciting. The fighting is accurate, smooth, and tough in all the right ways.

The graphics and sound design are top-notch, and they really pull players into Ryu Hayabusa’s world.
Altheia: The Wrath of Aferi is a moving and beautiful story about loss, growth, and coming together. The first game from MarsLit Games really makes you feel like you’re in a movie. It combines cinematic storytelling with clever puzzles and character-driven gameplay. The general experience is still enjoyable, even though the combat mechanics could use some work, and some bugs can be annoying.
Candy Rangers is fun, cute, and shockingly deep for how small it is. It rewards skillful play while still being easy to pick up and play. Some accuracy issues, uneven boss fights, and a light storyline are among the game’s minor flaws that never detract from the experience.

It turns out that Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny is an interesting experiment: a crossover role-playing game that honors Nickelodeon's past while avoiding the problems that come with adaptation. Its best features are its creative character kits, nostalgic stories, and lively music.
Train Sim World 6 embodies evolution more than revolution. Dovetail Games has layered meaningful features onto its established foundation: dynamic events, real voice announcements, and expanded routes that span three continents. The game does a great job of recreating the unpredictable rhythms of real trains, using missed signals, late arrivals, and sudden restrictions to make stories.
Slime Rancher 2 is silly, strange, and always fun, even though it has some rough spots. It’s a game that knows its players want to get lost in small jobs, hunt for the next type of Slime, decorate one more corral, or go a little further into the unknown. You can do more than just farm slimes. It’s fun to find order in chaos and maybe make a lot of money in the process.

Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree is a great game for anyone who likes roguelikes or wants to try one for the first time and wants a strategy adventure with heart.
Blue Archive might be the best experience gacha, but it's not the best game gacha. This story is heartfelt, funny, and shows that the people you meet along the way are sometimes more valuable than the work itself.
Borderlands 4 is a looter shooter that knows how to walk the fine line between too much and too little. It adds to a long history while introducing new features that make it difficult to return to earlier games. It is a crazy, beautiful, and always fun trip into the heart of Gearbox’s biggest and best-known world yet, for both longtime fans and newcomers.
Hollow Knight: Silksong isn’t just a follow-up; it’s a step forward. Team Cherry improved almost every part of a well-known independent classic, including the fighting, movement, world design, and progression, without taking away any of the game’s charm or mystery that made it famous in the first place.
METAL EDEN is an intense independent shooter that is fast-paced, interesting, and beautiful to look at. The story isn’t very clear, and the fighting can get in the way of the story sometimes, but that’s not a big deal when the gameplay is this fun.
