7.5 / 10.0 - Warhammer Survivors
Nov 10, 2026

Warhammer Survivors is a fun, accessible, and technically solid "survivors-like" game that successfully adapts the Vampire Survivors formula to the Warhammer universes. A good variety of characters, satisfying weapon evolutions, and polished pixel art only partially compensate for a lack of originality and some questionable design choices regarding progression. It is a title recommended primarily to those nostalgic for Poncle’s masterpiece and to Games Workshop fans—provided they aren't expecting any significant innovations.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Nintendo Switch 2 serves as an excellent example of how a remake should be crafted. Nintendo has succeeded in modernizing a masterpiece without compromising its essence, highlighting a gameplay structure that continues to prove its enduring quality, even nearly thirty years after its debut. This is more than just a nostalgic trip; it is proof that great works can transcend generations, continuing to captivate both those who have known them forever and those discovering them for the very first time.

8.3 / 10.0 - Chivalware
Nov 5, 2026

Chivalware is one of the most interesting surprises in the recent roguelike scene, a game that blends puzzle elements and strategic combat into an original, engaging formula brimming with possibilities. The wide variety of discs, the numerous synergies between abilities and power-ups, and the game’s structure ensure high replayability, while the excellent art direction helps make the experience even more enjoyable. Some initial learning curve and progression that isn’t always balanced prevent the game from reaching absolute excellence, but they don’t detract from an overall very compelling result. For fans of the genre looking for something different from the usual fare, especially those who love experimenting with builds and continually refining their strategies, Chivalware is a highly recommended choice.

Stupid Never Dies is an eccentric, imperfect roguelite with a personality that’s hard to ignore. The monstrous transformations, steady progression, and original art style manage to make the adventure engaging, despite a fairly traditional underlying structure. However, the imprecise combat, the excessive number of systems, and a certain degree of repetitiveness prevent the game from fully realizing its potential.

8 / 10.0 - Look Outside
Oct 30, 2026

Look Outside is an original and surprising survival horror game that transforms a simple apartment complex setting into a grotesque and fascinating nightmare. The excellent art direction, the oppressive atmosphere, and a narrative rich in mystery more than make up for a rather traditional combat system and a few balance issues. The management of daily life and the numerous narrative possibilities further enrich an experience that is unsettling, yet also unexpectedly human. A little indie gem that deserves the attention of fans of the genre.

7.8 / 10.0 - Mycopunk
Oct 24, 2026

Mycopunk is an original, personality-packed cooperative shooter that stands out thanks to its modular enemy destruction system, character mobility, and surprisingly extensive equipment customization. However, a certain degree of mission repetition and some issues with visual clarity prevent the game from achieving even more compelling results. Despite this, Pigeons at Play’s project manages to turn chaos into one of its greatest strengths, offering a particularly fun experience when played with a close-knit team.

Final Fantasy Resonance manages to transform its nod to the past into something more than just a nostalgic exercise. The return to turn-based combat, the Stagger and Visions systems, and a now-well-established HD-2D art style result in a classic JRPG that’s anything but outdated. Some choices, such as random encounters, backgrounds that aren’t always up to par, and, above all, the complete absence of Italian, prevent the package from being flawless, but the result remains a compelling celebration of Final Fantasy’s historic identity.

We Were Here Tomorrow reaffirms Total Mayhem Games' ability to deliver engaging and clever cooperative experiences, enriching the series' formula with more complex puzzles, new ways to interact, and significantly improved graphics. The shift to science fiction, while an interesting new direction, sacrifices some of the charm and wonder of the previous settings, and a few technical glitches still reveal the studio’s production limitations. Nevertheless, it remains a decidedly successful adventure, capable of providing great satisfaction to those who love to think and collaborate—provided they’re armed with the right amount of patience and, above all, an equally determined partner.

Beyond the Dark: Nightwatch is a survival horror game with good ideas but uneven execution. The asymmetric co-op is a successful concept, capable of delivering memorable moments when both players manage to coordinate their efforts. However, the poorly balanced AI, repetitive gameplay, and some technical issues prevent the game from fully realizing its potential. It remains, nonetheless, an interesting experience for those seeking a horror game that’s a bit different from the norm—one that should be played strictly with a friend and with a good dose of patience.

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival succeeds above all where it matters most: atmosphere, visual identity, and fidelity to the franchise’s lore. The Genesis Configuration adds personality to a fairly traditional survival horror framework, while some shortcomings in game balance, AI, and character writing hold it back. A successful adaptation, though not without its rough edges.

8.8 / 10.0 - Well Dweller
Sep 26, 2026

Well Dweller is a compact, well-polished Metroidvania that stands out thanks to precise controls, excellent art direction, and consistently smooth progression. It doesn’t revolutionize the genre and features a fairly simple combat system, but it makes up for it with its pace, atmosphere, and effective level design.

Dragon Quest XI S remains one of the best traditional JRPGs of recent years, and this version for Nintendo Switch 2 significantly enhances the overall experience. The 60 fps offered by Performance mode represents the most tangible improvement over the previous Nintendo release, while Quality mode offers more modest visual benefits. The result is a solid, well-optimized, and enjoyable port—a must-have for anyone who has yet to experience the eleventh Dragon Quest adventure.

Silent Hill: Townfall is a successful and distinctive reinterpretation of the series, capable of shifting perspectives and settings without losing the themes and atmosphere that have always defined the franchise. The game shines in its exploration, puzzle design, and—above all—in the creation of a St. Amelia that is visually stunning yet unsettling to traverse, all backed by top-tier audiovisual production. However, not every aspect reaches the same level of quality: the action sequences are not always memorable, and a few more creature types would have been welcome. These are limited shortcomings, however, and they do not prevent Townfall from marking another significant step in the new era of Silent Hill.

8.5 / 10.0 - Marvel's Wolverine
Sep 10, 2026

Marvel’s Wolverine demonstrates that Insomniac fully understood that simply replicating the Spider-Man formula wouldn't be enough. The decision to opt for a more linear, aggressive, and focused adventure suits Logan perfectly, delivering a highly satisfying combat system and a technically impressive production. Not every aspect hits the same high notes—side missions and activities could have offered more variety, and the story shines more through its characters than through its ability to surprise. Overall, however, Wolverine’s claws leave their mark, giving PlayStation an exclusive that is perfect for fans of the Canadian mutant or anyone seeking an intense, straightforward experience.

8.5 / 10.0 - Orbitals
Sep 1, 2026

Orbitals is one of the most interesting cooperative experiences available on the Nintendo Switch 2. It doesn’t always match the narrative depth of the games that openly inspired it, but it makes up for it with imaginative puzzles, carefully crafted co-op gameplay, and exceptional art direction. Short but intensely enjoyable, Maki and Omura’s journey proves once again that the best cooperative adventures aren’t necessarily the ones with the hardest puzzles, but those that turn solving them into a shared memory.

“Yet Another Zombie Survivors” doesn't revolutionize the genre, but it manages to stand out thanks to its three-character team management and the numerous synergies between abilities and classes. Despite its rather conventional setting and a progression that can be predictable at times, it remains a solid, fast-paced, and very fun bullet hell game (especially when played with friends).

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North – Legacy Edition is an action RPG that’s been around for several years, but it still manages to entertain thanks to its fast-paced combat, co-op mode, and atmosphere. It’s not a must-play, but for fans of Middle-earth, it’s an interesting rediscovery of a chapter that’s been forgotten for far too long.

7.5 / 10.0 - Duskfade
Aug 13, 2026

Duskfade offers an enjoyable, visually impressive adventure bolstered by solid platforming mechanics. Its ambitions are somewhat held back, however, by an overly simple combat system, repetitive level design, and a generally low level of difficulty. Nevertheless, it remains a solid and pleasing title that entertains without any major missteps.

Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel doesn't reinvent the genre and suffers from a certain degree of repetitiveness, especially in the missions and map design. However, it manages to offer a solid, satisfying, and highly engaging gameplay experience. For fans of Survivors-style games and those who love Norse mythology, it's a highly recommended purchase.

8 / 10.0 - CULTIC
Jul 22, 2026

CULTIC is one of the best modern examples of the genre. Despite its well-known references, the game has enough personality that it doesn’t feel like a mere imitation. The combat is fast-paced, brutal, and varied; the level design rewards exploration; and the art direction creates an oppressive and memorable atmosphere. The minimal storytelling, the platforming sections, a few forgettable bosses, and the excessive length of certain maps don’t detract too much from an overall enjoyable experience. Considering that most of the work was done by a single developer, the result is even more impressive. For fans of retro FPS games, horror, and over-the-top violence, CULTIC is practically a must-play.
