Deliver At All Costs stands out for its charming 1950s style and absurd humor, turning a simple delivery job into a wild and unexpected adventure. The story is fun and surprising, but the repetitive structure and underwhelming open world hold it back from reaching its full potential.

The Precinct is a charming throwback to '80s cop dramas, blending arcade-style action with light police sim mechanics. While its unique premise and retro atmosphere shine early on, repetitive structure and a weak narrative hold it back. Still, for those looking for a fresh spin on the open-world formula, it's worth a patrol — flaws and all.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered stands out as a project crafted with both intelligence and heart. It offers much more than a simple visual upgrade, thanks to significant improvements to gameplay and quality of life, even if it stops short of fully reinventing a formula that, after almost twenty years, still shows its age.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a rare gem — the kind of game that rekindles your love for the medium. With a deep combat system, a moving story, and a stunning artistic direction, it stands out in today’s gaming landscape. It's not without flaws, especially in exploration, but what it achieves in emotion, design, and gameplay more than makes up for it. If you’re looking for a JRPG-inspired experience with a bold artistic soul and heartfelt storytelling, this is a journey you won’t want to miss.

Thanks to its layered gameplay and ever-evolving world, ULTROS stands out as a bold and distinctive experience. Its visionary art direction and atmospheric soundtrack create one of the most original journeys the genre has seen. This isn’t your typical metroidvania — ULTROS dares to blend styles and ideas, turning each loop into a reflection on change, death, and rebirth — for both the character and the player.

WWE 2K25 is a chapter that lives in the shadow of its predecessor. After the major step forward taken with 2K24, Visual Concepts has chosen to play it safe, limiting themselves to small refinements and a few side additions that hardly justify upgrading to the new installment—especially for those still holding on to last year’s game. The gameplay is solid but almost unchanged, the new modes struggle to find a clear identity, and where the game tries to innovate — see The Island — it does so in an intrusive and clumsy way, with an increasingly aggressive microtransaction system, while Showcase and MyRise take a clear step backwards. The result is a game that can entertain, but fails to excite. A more of the same that will satisfy the most die-hard fans… but may disappoint those expecting something bolder and more impactful.

Star Overdrive presents itself as an interesting and at times bold game, blending different genres with the ambition of creating something original. Caracal Games' title manages to offer some enjoyable moments thanks to a solid combat system and well-designed dungeons, but it falls short due to an underwhelming narrative, a frustrating progression system, and exploration that often feels tedious.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the culmination of years of evolution in the saga, blending refined action/RPG gameplay with one of the series' most captivating settings. The contrast between Naoe and Yasuke offers distinct playstyles, encouraging variety and experimentation. Stealth mechanics are more polished than ever, while combat, though not as deep as a pure action game, remains fun and well-balanced. Feudal Japan is recreated with exceptional detail, thanks to top-tier artistic direction and a solid technical foundation, benefiting from the departure from old consoles. The seasonal cycle isn’t just aesthetic but adds meaningful gameplay dynamics, keeping exploration engaging. However, some concerns remain. The Animus Hub feels more like an unfinished concept than a true revolution, and the modern-day storyline risks becoming secondary again. Some design choices, like character switching, could have been smoother. Overall, Assassin’s Creed Shadows delivers an immersive experience that will satisfy longtime fans eager for this setting within the series' lore, as well as newcomers drawn by its Eastern allure.

One-third tradition, one-third evolution, one-third innovation—that's the mantra of Firaxis Games. Civilization VII follows this philosophy, refining gameplay mechanics while introducing bold new features that reshape each match. Though the minimalist UI has some drawbacks, the series has always evolved post-launch through updates and expansions. The game balances accessibility for newcomers without alienating longtime fans, staying true to the "just one more turn" spirit.

"Audentes Fortuna Iuvat" is not only Henry's motto, but it should also be that of the Warhorse Studios team, given the results achieved with this epic saga. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a majestic work and a natural evolution of the first chapter. In an era of overly similar video games, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a breath of fresh air with its realism and medieval simulator essence.

Reversing the core concept of SUPERHOT isn't enough to make COLD VR a memorable title. The issue goes beyond bugs or physics tweaks; the level design fails to enhance time manipulation and lacks consistency across environments. The result is an experience with some interesting ideas but without the spark to make it truly unforgettable.

Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter is the classic more of the same, following the formula that made its predecessor successful, expanding it with a couple of small novelties and delighting the eyes with particularly inspired artistic work. A video game designed primarily for fans of the first chapter and also suitable for those looking for a challenging Metroidvania.

Eternal Strands is a game that manages to be both surprising and disappointing: boss fights are thrilling, but the same can’t be said for basic enemies; magic adds depth to combat, but weapons don’t match this depth; the story lacks epic moments, but the characters are very interesting. It’s the kind of indie game that needs to be taken in stride to fully enjoy its potential, as long as you overlook its flaws that might hinder the fun in the long run.

Despite minor gameplay flaws, MachineGames' new video game delivers a consistently enjoyable experience. It captivates players with its story, characters, atmosphere, and gameplay. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a remarkable tribute to a film saga over 40 years old and, without a doubt, the best thing featuring the world's most famous archaeologist since the original film trilogy.

If there was one thing missing from the 2020 Flight Simulator, it was a more game-like element to attract a broader audience beyond hardcore fans of the genre. This gap is filled in the sequel with a well-structured career mode that, thanks to a variety of activities, further enhances the simulation aspect, which remains the core of the experience. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a grand achievement that improves on every aspect of its already exceptional predecessor—a more of the same crafted with remarkable intelligence and care by the team at Asobo. While it remains a simulator not suited to every taste, I’m confident it will captivate a new audience, as it did with me.

There is a moment in DIG VR where the game reflects: "Many think it's crazy to use an excavator to clean up all this trash, but what should we use? Our hands?! As far as I'm concerned, we should solve every life problem with excavators." This is the essence of DIG VR. With its absurd situations and humor, DIG VR is a fun simulator that can offer a few hours of lighthearted entertainment when approached with the right attitude.

Planet Coaster 2 builds on its predecessor, expanding the formula with the addition of water parks, offering fans of the genre something extra to enjoy. It could have been perfect if not for a few issues, such as lackluster AI and clunky controls on consoles, with an unintuitive interface and an imprecise path-building tool. While these problems could be fixed with a patch, they currently hinder an otherwise highly enjoyable experience.

Square Enix could have made a greater effort to create a full remake but chose a more conservative approach with *Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake*. The game modernizes a cornerstone of the JRPG genre while staying highly faithful to the original material, avoiding unnecessary risks. The result is an enjoyable and delightful remake that appeals to both devoted fans and newcomers curious about the series' origins.

Human Fall Flat VR is a 1:1 adaptation of the iconic No Brake Games title, gaining a new sense of physicality thanks to virtual reality. Players who have already experienced the original may not find many reasons to revisit it, except for the thrill of seeing it from a fresh perspective. However, those who haven't played it will discover a unique puzzle game that shines when played with others.

Black Ops 6 is a steroid-infused Call of Duty with one of the best single-player campaigns the series has offered in recent years, a well-established multiplayer that builds on its predecessors and is refreshed with the introduction of omnimovement, and a Zombies mode that returns to its origins. It does nothing to change the minds of those who’ve never appreciated the series, but it’s also true that for them, a complete revolution would be needed—something this franchise doesn’t really require.
