"A sequel that expands the adventure and adds greater depth to character building." Minecraft Dungeons II builds upon the foundation of the original game, offering a deeper customization system, an interconnected world, more dynamic combat, and a smoother coop experience. Despite some issues regarding combat clarity and vertical movement, the game retains its simplicity and signature Minecraft identity while introducing systems that give players more room to build and develop their characters.

9.5 / 10.0 - Control Resonant
Sep 19, 2026

"A bold sequel with a unique style" Control Resonant proves that Remedy wasn't aiming for a safe sequel, but rather an experience that redefines the series. The shift to close-quarters combat, movement abilities, gravity manipulation, and the distorted world of Manhattan all lend the game a distinct and unique identity. While repetition and navigation issues prevent it from achieving perfection, when the movement, combat, and world design come together at their best, Control Resonant delivers a standout Action RPG experience. It clearly bears Remedy’s signature style and justifies its existence as a new entry, rather than merely rehashing what worked in the first game.

Sep 17, 2026

"PlayStation 5 Opens the Doors to Arrakis: A Superb Survival Experience" Dune: Awakening succeeds in transforming Arrakis into a living world governed by its own rules, where water, heat, storms, base-building, and exploration all intertwine to form a cohesive survival experience. While combat, the grind, and certain endgame elements require further refinement, the depth of the game's systems, its faithful respect for the Dune universe, and the flexibility offered by the PlayStation 5 version make this an ambitious and standout title for fans of survival and open-world games.

"When time is more precious than blood" The Blood of Dawnwalker delivers a highly ambitious vision of the Action RPG with a compelling time system, real-world choices, a dual identity that shifts gameplay between day and night, and an atmospherically rich and detailed open world. While the combat and some technical aspects could use some polishing, the interconnections of the game's systems and the strength of its quest design make it a very promising experience, and it could well become one of the standout Action-RPGs of 2026.

"A New Adventure with a Bold Direction" Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy delivers a bold shift for a series traditionally reliant on stealth, survival, and dark storytelling. The move into Greek mythology and direct combat gives the experience a distinct identity, while Sophia and the dual timeline with Theseus add new dimensions to the story and gameplay. A successful step towards evolving the series rather than repeating it.

"A True Evolution, Not Just an Expansion" DOOM: The Dark Ages – Revelations succeeds where most expansions fail; it doesn't just add new content, it evolves the very foundations of the game. The Chain Spear system changes the rhythm of combat and brings back the speed and action that players loved in DOOM Eternal without abandoning The Dark Ages identity. There's clever enemy design, secret-filled levels, a strong ending, and exceptional music. Revelations is an excellent expansion that elevates the base game to a whole new level.

7 / 10.0 - Silent Descent
Jun 12, 2026

"A Ruthless, Bloody Challenge" KIBORG: Descent doesn't attempt to change the identity of KIBORG, but rather focuses on expanding upon it and delivering a more brutal and challenging version of the original experience. The expansion succeeds in adding new areas, more dangerous enemies, and engaging bosses, while maintaining the fast-paced combat that is at the heart of the game. However, technical issues and an unstable balance prevent the expansion from reaching a higher level. It remains a strong addition for fans of the original game, but it's not a suitable gateway for newcomers.

"A Big Ambition That Needs Refinement" LumenTale: Memories of Trey presents a very promising project within the creature-collecting genre, thanks to a richly detailed world, a deep strategic combat system, and novel ideas such as linking creatures to emotions and feelings. The visuals are appealing, and the great variety of Animons gives the experience a distinctive identity. However, the game still needs significant improvements in guidance, balance, and technical performance to reach its full potential.

Mar 23, 2026

"In-Camp Improvements, Off-Line Stagnation" MLB The Show 26 offers one of the best baseball simulation experiences in terms of gameplay, with noticeable improvements to controls and mechanics that enhance the depth and enjoyment on the field. However, the game suffers from a noticeable stagnation in graphics and game modes, which haven't seen any real development in years.

6.5 / 10.0 - Winter Survival
Jan 3, 2026

Winter Survival offers a different survival experience, focusing on psychological pressure and fear alongside hunger and cold—a clever approach that sets it apart from traditional survival games. It doesn't suffer from problems with its narrative, combat, or clear systems. The foundation is strong, but the game needs time and significant updates before it reaches the level of experience it promises.
