Alien: Rogue Incursion - Part One: Evolved Edition proves to be a surprisingly solid adaptation of the VR version. While still retaining some traits of its original DNA, Survios has managed to deliver an atmospheric, adrenaline-filled FPS that respects the spirit of the saga. Despite some inevitable limits due to the transition from VR to traditional consoles, the action sequences, the carefully crafted atmosphere, and the strong technical performance make this edition a must-play for fans of the franchise.

Frostpunk 2 is an ambitious sequel that expands the scope of the original with deeper political systems, layered management mechanics, and a striking presentation powered by Unreal Engine 5. It’s a compelling mix of survival, city building, and social simulation that can easily absorb players for dozens of hours. Unfortunately, the console version suffers from major interface and control issues. Menu navigation is often clunky or unresponsive, turning simple actions into frustrating tasks. These problems heavily affect the overall experience and weigh down the final score. With proper patches, Frostpunk 2 could truly shine on console. For now, its brilliance is dimmed by technical shortcomings.

Mafia: The Old Country marks a welcome return for the series, trading the excesses of modern open worlds for a tight, story-driven experience. Historical authenticity, strong characters, and a beautifully recreated Sicilian setting make it both engaging and cinematic. Unfortunately, a barebones, uninnovative gameplay, underwhelming knife duels, and simplistic AI hold it back. While Enzo Favara’s journey remains a significant chapter, it’s not quite enough to restore the series to its former glory.

Ready or Not is a bold and satisfying return to tactical shooters. With deep, realistic gameplay and solid level design, it delivers a tense and rewarding experience — especially in singleplayer. While the technical side shows its indie roots and the story is nearly absent, the core gameplay is strong enough to make it a standout in the genre.

The Alters is a bold and thought-provoking experience, blending sci-fi survival with deep psychological themes. Managing your clones while racing against time creates real tension, and the game’s artistic direction is both striking and atmospheric. Despite some repetitive structure, The Alters stands out for its narrative depth and meaningful choices. It may not be for everyone, but it certainly leaves a mark.

Spirit of the North 2 builds on the charm of the original with a larger world and deeper progression, but stumbles on rigid platforming, repetitive puzzles, and technical issues. Despite its heart and visual charm, it lacks the polish and depth to truly stand out.

American Arcadia is a narrative gem that confirms Out of the Blue's talent for crafting engaging and emotionally compelling stories, supported by a striking visual style and a gameplay component that, while relatively simple, proves to be effective and well-integrated in service of the narrative.

Amerzone: The Explorer’s Legacy is a faithful and visually impressive remake that revives a forgotten gem from Benoît Sokal’s early work. While its rigid point-and-click mechanics may feel outdated, the game still offers a short yet atmospheric journey through a fascinating, decaying world. A solid choice for fans of classic adventure games and those curious about Sokal’s creative origins.

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.
