Battlefield 6 is masterfully controlled chaos. It's cinema and fury, as well as dynamic fun and a necessary return to the roots. Dice's product, despite its excellence, is "broken": while Battlefield 6's multiplayer is excellent from a gameplay perspective, the single-player experience remains limited and negligible. Another limitation is conceptual: the game is more than solid and polished in almost every aspect, but it lacks "courage" (probably the same courage 2042 had on paper, even though it didn't perform as well as it would have liked). It remains an excellent experience and the best in terms of "simulating" large-scale conflicts.

Absolum is a little gem at a relatively low price. DotEmu's product is one of the best fighting games on the market and further confirms DotEmu's position as one of the leading studios in the industry. While it doesn't completely escape some of the genre's essential limitations, with its stunning aesthetic and rewarding gameplay, Absolum will surely delight fighting game enthusiasts.

Sworn is an excellent action roguelike, artistically inspired and with a fairly extensive content for the genre. While it doesn't revolutionize the industry or offer features that would make it unique in a rather vast landscape, Windwalk Games and Team 17's product is certainly more than capable, sold at a very accessible price (in fact, it's available on Game Pass for Xbox owners). Further enhancing this respectable gaming package is the well-implemented and fun co-op mode.

Dying Light: The Beast will not disappoint fans of the series, offering frenetic, brutal, and fun gameplay. The game, in all respects, presents itself as a 360° upgrade on the classic hallmarks of the series, without revolutionizing a formula that, despite its ups and downs, has worked brilliantly for years. The parkour is more fluid than ever, the melee is unparalleled, and the attention to detail in the game world is astonishing. Aside from a few niggles here and there and the introduction of a less-than-elaborate stealth segment, what remains is a top-notch experience and, arguably, the best installment in the series.

NBA 2K26 offers interesting gameplay additions and a whole host of small touches that further enhance the audiovisual experience. Content-wise, some welcome changes have been made (such as the single-player story mode), although in other areas, substantial changes are largely minor. The issue of microtransactions remains unresolved, as well as a certain difficulty navigating the game's sea of menus and options. Despite this, it remains one of the best sports games out there.

While it lacks a deep personality, Metal Eden is a top-notch sci-fi shooter, packed with action and adrenaline. The gameplay is lightning-fast, the mechanics are clever, and the style is well-researched, including the design, music, and gameplay. The production has its limitations, especially in terms of overall replayability, but these will likely be ironed out over time. Regardless, Metal Eden remains a high-quality experience at a relatively reasonable price.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a top-notch remake that manages to be both respectful of the past and significantly alter its essence. The game is a legendary chapter in an immortal saga, so its value as a game is undeniable. Konami has introduced several new features, both in terms of gameplay and content, although the game still shows its age in some aspects. Aside from a few minor technical issues (including a less than flawless fluidity), the nostalgia effort can easily be described as a success.

Killing Floor 3 is a good game, flaws aside. In fact, in its best games, it still manages to deliver the same adrenaline, cooperation, and bloody thrills as it did in the past. But it's also a product that seems to be chasing modern trends—monetization, battle passes, seasonal content—to the detriment of the arcade purity that made the series so beloved. If you're playing with a group of friends and looking for a PvE experience filled with chaos and monsters, Killing Floor 3 has a lot to offer. But if you were expecting a sequel faithful to the spirit of the second installment, you might be disappointed by a whole series of systems and subsystems that, overall, weigh down the overall gaming experience.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a good action game in the roguelike style, with a lovely aesthetic that's "respectful" of the comic book tradition, as well as overall solid and fun gameplay. The co-op mode adds several levels of fun and strategy to the game, which, however, suffers from the classic problems of (almost) all titles in the genre: irremediable and irreversible repetitiveness. That said, at a very affordable price, the game could prove to be an unexpectedly valuable time-killer, especially if you have a friend to play it with.

Rematch is an absolutely fun and sui generis football game, a real low-cost alternative to more famous (and in some ways, stale) productions. Unique design, excellent controls and a simple and addictive gameplay will help immerse us in an infinite loop of play. High-level images and animations confirm once again Sloclap as one of the best realities of the videogame scene. The experience, at the moment, is not yet perfect and there are many shortcomings and rough edges to file, but it is only a matter of time. Probably, the best "casual but not too much" football experience in relation to the low launch price.

Elden Ring: Nightreign is not a classic role-playing game but, rather, a competitive action game with moderate role-playing colors. It is worth underlining this because, of course, the two nomenclatures are destined to run close together, but on two parallel lines. Although not without flaws, FromSoftware's work is still an immersive and challenging experience, which reaches its peak in the specific three-player mode. There are several limitations, both conceptual and content-related, which make the game probably not suitable for everyone (including Elden Ring fans) or difficult to metabolize. However, the game has a certain charm and is one of the most intriguing cooperative experiences of recent years, still offered at a fair price.

Despite its limitations, 9th Dawn Remake is a nostalgic and ambitious adventure that simply invites players to explore and fight without interruption. 9th Dawn Remake stands out for its depth and versatility, offering a truly vast overall package of content at a negligible price and further enhanced by local and online cooperative play. That said, Valorware's production is probably not suitable for those looking for a role-playing production that is full-bodied especially on a narrative level or jaw-dropping on a more purely aesthetic level.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is exactly what a sequel should be: bigger, more detailed and fun. With numerous planets to explore and excellent support for co-op, the new chapter in the saga sublimates the fun premise of the first chapter in an exponential way. Although there are flaws, such as a combat system that is a bit too basic and a fluidity still at 30 frames per second on Xbox, the heart of the game lies in exploration, humor and discovery. The game is one of the best co-op experiences available on the market today.

Towerborne is a pleasant surprise in the Xbox catalog. Without revolutionizing anything but mindful of a glorious past unjustly buried or nearly so, it offers a neat and fun cooperative experience with great potential for the future. Its combat system is agile, its mechanics are well integrated, and its seasonal structure manages to maintain interest without overwhelming. There are corners to file, undoubtedly, but we are talking about a product that is still in early access and that offers a fairly long-lived ludic experience at a meager expense (if you are not a Game Pass subscriber, of course).

It might have a couple of rough edges, but Kiborg is a funny and brutal beat 'em up at a very cheap expense. Its visuals aren’t the most groundbreaking in the industry and, maybe, the game may be a bit too repetitive in the long run but once you overcome those factors, the build variety and satisfying combat will make the game a lot more engaging.

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is an affordable compilation that fans of Lara Croft will appreciate, making old games modern and accessible. While the aesthetic and technical upgrades improve the original experience for contemporary audiences, the compilation highlights the conceptual limits of a minimal remaster. These games, with their inherent flaws and "spiritual" antiquities, are likely to be fully enjoyed only by nostalgic players, making it challenging for younger audiences to fully appreciate these historic works of the gaming industry.

Limited on several fronts, Warriors: Abyss may please fans of Koei Tecmo's musou series or those who enjoy Vampire Survivors-style games looking to try something similar but not identical. A fun pastime, with some mechanically deep moments, but overall lacks depth both narratively and in gameplay.

Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is a nostalgic trip for those who enjoyed the original. For under 20 euros, this technical revival offers an "archaeological" charm reminiscent of simpler times. That said, it remains an outdated product with minor tweaks for modern audiences. Not a remake and only partially a remaster, it's recommended specifically for nostalgic Star Wars fans.

Big Helmet Heroes is a light and fun experience from start to finish. Whether playing alone or with a friend in co-op, fun is guaranteed without the game ever becoming overly complicated. For these reasons and the "unidirectional" experience, it's probably not a game that will stay on our consoles for long. The depth, longevity, and mechanical variety are not enough for long play sessions. Stage diversification is notable, but combat might not be particularly engaging for more experienced players, nor is there a particularly deep progression and customization system. For younger players or those looking for a quick and fleeting experience, this game is almost a must-buy at a reasonable price.

Synduality: Echo of Ada has the potential to carve out its own niche of enthusiasts, being an accessible and rather original shooter. The fluid gunplay makes the PvPvE experience exciting, and the new Magus system is interesting and potentially revolutionary. The gameplay, in general, is based on rather precise mechanisms (though not perfect), but Bandai Namco's product does not escape the typical shooter routines. With long-term support, it could emerge as a valid competitor in this increasingly crowded genre.
