The Patrick Star Game is an open-world adventure primarily designed for children, developed by PHL Collective and published by Outright Games. The game is set in the SpongeBob SquarePants universe and puts Patrick Stella at the center of the action, offering a chaotic and fun experience, full of humor typical of the series. Visually colorful and with an attention to detail, the title captures the carefree atmosphere of Bikini Bottom, accompanied by a playful soundtrack and original voices. However, the gameplay, while offering challenges and minigames, can be repetitive and with an unstructured progression. The physics engine is a key element, but not without flaws. Despite this, younger players will appreciate the freedom offered and the chaos that comes with it, making The Patrick Star Game an accessible and fun product for its target audience.

TIEBREAK: Official Game of the ATP and WTA represents a significant advancement in tennis gaming, thanks to its detailed graphics and official ATP and WTA licenses, which offer a rich roster of athletes and tournaments. The gameplay, a balance between simulation and arcade, engages players with a strategic and rewarding experience. However, the title suffers from technical problems. Stiff animations and sound bugs compromise its fluidity, while the online mode is limited by sparsely populated servers and latency issues, reducing the competitive experience. Despite these critical issues, TIEBREAK has the potential to become a reference simulation. If Big Ant Studios fixes the flaws with future updates, the game could establish itself in the genre. At the moment, however, it remains promising but still far from rivaling established titles such as Top Spin.
