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.

Freedom Wars Remastered is a good product that does justice to a game full of original ideas that, mainly due to its PS Vita exclusivity, never got the recognition it deserved. This technical “resurrection,” despite some evident limitations, finally gives due credit to a hidden gem left in the "cellar" for a decade. The real advantage of this remaster is not just the (successful) nostalgic operation: it’s the potential. Freedom Wars Remastered calls loudly for a sequel. It’s a product that has the potential to evolve in every sense. The remaster is proof the gameplay, world, and mechanics still resonate with modern audiences and highlights how much more could be done with a true modern chapter.

Not a revolution nor a watershed, but a "clean" and fun title: Masters of Light sits halfway between a classic game and a rhythm game, where you play as a deity of light facing a shadowy invasion. With five different powers to develop and 36 stages, each with a performance rating, Masters of Light offers decent replayability despite some content limitations. It's a fun experience with a hidden goal of physical exercise, at a price slightly below the standard.

Overall, while the Irem Collection Volume 2 is a commendable selection of seminal titles from the past, unfairly forgotten over time, it ultimately amounts to a basic emulation with minor extras and little else. Unlike compilations such as Atari 50, which offer abundant bonus content and revamped or even entirely new versions of classic titles, this collection feels minimal. Although technically solid, it could have benefited from more substantial content and perhaps a visual refresh to modernize the three small gems it includes.

Undisputed is a strong attempt to bring boxing back to the spotlight in the gaming world after decades of hiatus. With a solid career mode, realistic graphics, and well-executed ring action, it’s likely the new benchmark in a genre long absent of such titles. For boxing fans missing these games, Undisputed does an excellent job of reviving the thrill of the sport. The year of early access has resulted in a commendable game, with only minor flaws that don’t detract from its solid and enjoyable gameplay.

Starship Troopers: Extermination is a game with great potential and definitely a lot of fun, priced lower than a typical release. Two years after its early access on Steam and now available on consoles, that potential seems within reach. The game is generally frantic and ultra-dynamic, but bugs, some design choices, and a certain conceptual limitation of the content somewhat dampen the overall experience. However, it is truly enjoyable, especially when played with friends (which is not always easy to do at the moment).

Overall, NBA 2K25 delivers a solid gaming experience for all players, both in quality and content. It’s smooth and offers a range of modes to explore various facets of American basketball. While NBA 2K25 doesn’t introduce radical changes to the legendary franchise, the new mechanics and minor enhancements raise the bar for the experience, especially regarding control and in-game possibilities. The persistent “shadow” of microtransactions still makes the online experience somewhat burdensome, though it remains one of the most advanced available.

What remains to be said about Space Marine 2? It’s undeniably a good game and a significant qualitative leap from Saber’s previous efforts, even if it arrives on day one with somewhat limited and repetitive content, further aggravated by a range of technical and conceptual issues that can unnecessarily complicate the player’s experience. We’re certain things will improve over time, but for now, the game’s offering is far from being a solid 1.0. Full-price purchase may only be worthwhile in the long term, especially considering Saber’s long-term support for World War Z. Still, it’s an enjoyable experience, particularly in co-op mode.

Overall, Return to Moria is a good survival game that has made significant strides since its release. Generally, it provides a solid and fun experience, especially in multiplayer, offering a surprisingly deep experience. However, it still lacks that unique “something” and needs some final tweaks for a balanced experience. Nevertheless, it’s a great product that’s even more enjoyable in co-op mode.

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter remains a beloved title for its faithful fans, and Aspyr's efforts to remaster it have not gone unnoticed. Despite some outdated game mechanics and technical roughness, the studio's technical renovation offers a pleasant and nostalgic experience for just twenty euros. Gameplay updates make Bounty Hunter a bit more modern, smooth, and accessible, though it still feels dated from the very beginning.

Sand Land is an excellent game, both in content and artistry. Its complex structure and engaging narrative ensure around 20 hours of fun. The developers created an open world that aligns well with the distinct style of Arale and Dragon Ball's creator. However, the game's general simplification might bore experienced players over time. Still, Bandai Namco and ILCA's offering is a positive and enjoyable project.

In conclusion, South Park: Snow Day! isn’t the best co-op hack ‘n slash on the market, but it’s fun and perfectly captures the anarchic humor of the TV series. Despite content shortcomings and the lack of crossplay, it offers a sufficient gameplay structure with classic ideas reinterpreted in a South Park style. With long-term support, it could become an unmissable co-op game!

Outcast: A New Beginning is a good product that will surely please the veteran fans of the original game. Appeal Studios has crafted a generally good game, though not perfect. The dynamic and fun gameplay is hampered by a shaky technical department and a somewhat predictable and not particularly exciting narrative. Overall, the game honors the legendary original, though it clearly needs ongoing polishing to perfect and improve what can still be enhanced.

Humanity is an excellent product, without a doubt: in its conceptual simplicity, Enhance's product transports us to a mystical world with gameplay mechanics inspired by Lemmings but naturally more original and evolved. A long campaign that shifts from classic puzzle norms to more action-oriented gameplay, along with a creative mode to craft or download levels, makes for an intriguing and long-lasting experience. Its only flaw is not being a true VR port but rather a straightforward translation to the Meta platform.

Contra: Operation Galuga is a delight for series fans and shooter enthusiasts. With its Perk system, multiple difficulty levels, and three game modes, it’s one of the most accessible yet challenging titles in the genre. It offers hours of arcade fun despite a short campaign. Technically, it’s enjoyable and smooth, making it a recommended experience.

Helldivers 2, despite some short-lived technical and content limitations, is a fun, tactical, and carefree game with a community-based mission approach. With a low price, solid gameplay mechanics, and team-oriented vision, it's one of the best co-op games on the market.

Cave Digger 2 is a good value, especially considering the Xbox game-sharing trick with a friend. It offers solid gameplay, an enticing setting, and humor, despite technical and gameplay limits appearing after a few hours. The ability to play cooperatively with up to four people across platforms is a bonus. Recommended for survival enthusiasts, especially those craving new products.

The question is: is Modern Warfare III a massive expansion or a standalone game? The truth lies somewhere in between. It offers few new features (mainly evolutions of the past) and some content quality gaps, but its monstrous multiplayer structure is technically infinite. Whether it's worth buying depends on the player's recent history. If you've played the previous title extensively, you may struggle to distinguish between Modern Warfare II and III. But if you haven't bought Call of Duty in a while, Modern Warfare III might be a culmination of the dynamic, frenetic CoD experience.

Blasphemous 2 is an excellent second chapter in a series that has become a benchmark for genre enthusiasts. The Game Kitchen has improved and expanded the overall experience, offering more varied gameplay and exploration. While not perfect, it maintains high quality. However, those with strong religious sensitivities might find it unsuitable.
