Jurassic World Evolution 3 is the natural evolution of Frontier's saga, refining established mechanics and adding fascinating touches like the dinosaurs' life cycles, without daring a revolution in management gameplay. Fans will continue to be enchanted by its creative freedom and longevity, but a generic management fan who doesn't get emotional about dinosaurs risks remaining disappointed again due to somewhat superficial gameplay elements. Ideal for those dreaming of building the perfect Jurassic park, it remains a missed opportunity to aim for the top of the genre.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a 2D beat 'em up that perfectly captures the spirit of classic arcades, enriched by nostalgic pixel art and a cast of iconic superheroes well characterized. The campaign offers an enjoyable experience with a good dose of fan service, which is amplified by the use of co-op play. However, after yet another game of this genre from Dotemu, the need for something new in terms of gameplay begins to be felt, and the Cosmic Swap mechanic alone is not enough to ward off the specter of the typical repetitiveness of the genre. Furthermore, the longevity is rather short and does not help the low replay value keep the game memorable on one’s console after completing the campaign.

The Berlin Apartment is a small narrative gem that encapsulates a century of history through the lives of ordinary people. Blue Backpack’s work moves, surprises, and invites players to reflect on the weight of memory and the value of change, even when it does so with modest means and a few inevitable technical imperfections.

Syberia Remastered feels at times like a somewhat lazy effort, redeemable more for the merits of the original than for its own. The 3D overhaul highlights the setting and characters without betraying Benoît Sokal’s original spirit, making the game accessible to a new audience as well. However, some technical and design choices are questionable, from the non-remastered cutscenes to a series of issues throughout. There is a lingering sense of disappointment about what this product could have been with a full remake that truly did justice to a timeless classic.

Space Chef is a mix between a space-themed Stardew Valley and Plate Up! that entertains at first but ultimately fails to hit the mark as it should. Behind a lighthearted and fun concept hides a game that quickly becomes repetitive and limiting, especially in crafting aspects that should be less restrictive. It’s a shame, because the lively art direction and irreverent humor deserved a much better final result.

A Pizza Delivery is a raw debut that nevertheless strikes with its quirks and peculiarities. It's the kind of game best enjoyed alongside a hot, steaming pizza, keeping you occupied for an evening while also making you reflect. Because, deep down, pizza is the food that brings relief and peace to yourself for a moment, and it's true that if the world ate more pizza, the pointless wars we are witnessing in this historical period might not exist.

The Outer Worlds 2 delivers a classic more of the same experience, but in the best possible way: it builds upon the original’s formula and expands it in every aspect, creating a deeper, more engaging RPG. The narrative shines with sharp satire and social critique, supported by an incredibly broad and flexible choice system that ensures high replay value. The player’s ability to shape their character through abilities, flaws, and interactions with a living, dynamic world results in a deeply personalized and never predictable experience. Gameplay strikes a solid balance between dialogue, stealth, and combat, featuring a well-implemented progression and perk system. Technically, this sequel marks a significant leap forward, presenting vibrant, detailed worlds infused with a unique blend of retrofuturism and sci-fi western aesthetics that give it a distinctive visual identity. Some elements fall short, however—particularly the third-person mode, which feels underwhelming and poorly executed, and the enemy AI, which, despite improvements, remains easily exploitable. These issues slightly hold back what would otherwise be a near-flawless experience.

Keeper is a small yet grand work of video game poetry. Double Fine once again manages to surprise with an intensely emotional artistic vision that speaks through light, gestures, and silence. It’s a journey that leaves a deep mark, capable of making you reflect without ever raising its voice. Despite its short length (though fitting for the kind of experience) and a somewhat underwhelming soundtrack, Keeper stands as one of the most delicate and deeply human experiences to appear on Xbox in recent years — one that absolutely shouldn’t be missed.

Borderlands 4 is the long-awaited comeback fans were hoping for: ambitious, freer, more dynamic. While it doesn’t completely reinvent the series formula, it does refine it, perfectly blending humor, chaos, and freedom of action. The addition of a true open world, new Vault Hunters, an almost endless variety of weapons, and a well-structured endgame breathe fresh life into Gearbox’s beloved franchise. Not every innovation hits the mark — technical optimization still needs work, and some exploration limitations slightly reduce the open world’s impact. Nevertheless, Borderlands 4 remains a fun, content-rich shooter full of personality, capable of keeping players engaged for dozens of hours while cracking smiles between bursts of gunfire and outrageous jokes.

Rise of Industry 2 is an ambitious management sim that makes great use of the 1980s setting, featuring a solid economic structure and a campaign packed with diverse scenarios. However, its natural complexity is often made worse by some unintuitive design choices and a cumbersome interface, especially on consoles. The result is a game that rewards patience but risks discouraging players before they can fully appreciate its depth.

Yooka-Replaylee stands as the definitive version of what was only a promising start back in 2017. This remake-remastered finally delivers to fans the Yooka-Laylee they deserved, filling the original’s gaps with a series of additions that make the experience richer and up-to-date, without neglecting a colorful and joyful visual style and an exceptional orchestral soundtrack. Yooka-Replaylee is therefore a game suited both for those who didn’t play the original eight years ago and for those who didn’t fully appreciate it because it was too anchored to the '90s style gameplay; now, I am sure, they will completely change their mind.

Formula Legends manages to capture the nostalgia of 90s arcades, with fictional licenses that entertain and recognizable tributes to the history of Formula 1. The driving, despite some uncertainties in the physics, offers a light and engaging experience, perfect for those looking for immediate fun rather than realistic simulation. The story mode is the heart of the game, but the lack of secondary content and especially the complete absence of multiplayer diminish its longevity.

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.
