7.5 / 10.0 - Nioh 3 Hell Rising
Sep 5, 2026

Nioh 3: Hell Rising delivers an engaging return to the game's stellar combat and exploration, framed by an atmospheric and beautifully designed new region. While an uninspired rogues' gallery, a lower-than-expected difficulty, and an underdeveloped narrative climax keep it below the standard set by past expansions, it stands as an enjoyable first entry among the two planned DLCs.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam finds its greatest strength when all of its systems click, turning massive teamwork into an unpredictable and intensely immersive war experience. Driven by excellent map design and a terrifyingly atmospheric depiction of jungle combat, the game overcomes technical glitches, awkward console menus, and a steep learning curve to deliver a deeply rewarding multiplayer shooter.

Reanimal: The Prisoner retains the stunning art direction and creepy atmosphere of the base game, but offers very little substance to justify its standalone existence, turning this short episode into a prologue that feels more like a promise for future chapters than a fully realized expansion.

Halo: Campaign Evolved establishes a strong presence on new platforms, combining a flawless combat foundation with an impressive technical overhaul. While its artistic direction occasionally leans toward generic reinterpretation, particularly in its interior lighting, the remake ultimately reaffirms the enduring strength of its legacy.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a spectacular celebration of the Caped Crusader, masterfully blending the charm of plastic bricks with the thrill of Arkham-inspired combat. Driven by a breathtaking maximalist Gotham City and a deep respect for Batman's history, it delivers an immensely rewarding odyssey for fans of all generations.

Directive 8020 flirts with greatness by blending Alien and The Thing into a choice-driven horror that will certainly appeal to sci-fi and Supermassive Games fans alike. While the atmospheric space setting is immersive, the title is hindered by trivial stealth mechanics and a cast that lacks charisma. It’s a safe season premiere that, unfortunately, sacrifices its greatest potential — paranoia — in favor of narrative conveniences.

Starfield is an RPG that grows over time, demanding patience in its opening hours but rewarding those who stay with an experience rich in systems, side stories, and freedom of identity.

Tides of Tomorrow stands out by betting on an ambitious and innovative idea, transforming individual choices into a shared experience between players. Despite imbalances in how these decisions impact one's own journey and the frustrating lack of post-game tools like New Game+, the title sustains its premise with a striking world, well-built characters, and an intelligent integration between narrative and mechanics, making this a memorable chapter within the genre.

9 / 10.0 - Marathon
Apr 2, 2026

Marathon is proof that Bungie still understands what makes an FPS special. Delivering singular technical mastery, the studio brings identity, cohesion, and, above all, a gameplay loop that hooks you in an almost inescapable way. Between its striking aesthetics, refined gunplay, and a progression system that turns even defeat into advancement, the game builds an experience that goes beyond the extraction genre and establishes itself as one of the most engaging in the current multiplayer landscape.

8 / 10.0 - Screamer
Mar 26, 2026

Screamer is a bold reinvention that successfully merges high-stakes arcade racing with the emotional depth of a visual novel. Its standout feature is a cast of flawed, morally grey characters that drive a compelling narrative, supported by a stunning anime aesthetic. While the track design feels a bit too safe for its innovative twin-stick drift system and the pacing can falter during long dialogue sequences, the game’s sheer personality and technical polish make it a unique and memorable experience in the racing genre.

Mar 5, 2026

Despite its niche premise, Docked is a compelling simulator driven by excellent vehicle controls and technical fidelity. Mastering the heavy machinery transforms routine tasks into rewarding challenges, supported by a functional narrative. While menu performance issues and some management opacity create friction, the core experience remains solid and genuinely engaging.

Sons of Sparta doesn’t reinvent the metroidvania genre, nor does it redefine God of War, but it stands as a solid choice for fans of both. The content is robust, orchestrated by high-quality art and sound direction. Following this project, it would be interesting to see Mega Cat Studios get another shot at this universe, potentially refining the structural edges presented here.

7.5 / 10.0 - Reanimal
Feb 18, 2026

REANIMAL is a triumph of aesthetics over substance. Tarsier Studios proves they remain the masters of 'vibes' and picturesque horror, yet by expanding the scope, they deliver a vast world where freedom is an illusion, and the gameplay settles into a ‘running sim’ that grows in scale but struggles to evolve its core ideas.

9.5 / 10.0 - Nioh 3
Feb 4, 2026

Each design decision, whether in narrative pacing or mechanical complexity, converges to strengthen the hardcore experience that has always defined the franchise. It is a work that understands its identity, honors its legacy, and looks ahead. Nioh 3 is not just another chapter in the trilogy; it is the technical and artistic pinnacle of the saga, establishing itself as an instant classic of the action genre.

Dungeons and Ducklings is a game that feels comfortable within its own scope. It doesn't seek to reinvent the genre or expand its ideas beyond what is necessary, yet it delivers a solid, accessible, and fun loop, especially for short sessions.

From the Ashes complements the arc of the main game coherently while providing synergy with the latest film. By introducing a more brutal protagonist and focused, compact missions, it reinforces the saga's core themes without losing the fun. Despite inheriting conventional systems and occasional bugs from the base game, it stands as a solid and visually striking DLC tailored for fans of James Cameron’s universe.

7 / 10.0 - Horses
Dec 18, 2025

Much of HORSES' notoriety stems from its 'forbidden' status, but beneath the controversy lies a valid, experimental narrative for adult audiences. It is a worthwhile provocation for those seeking something off-beat, succeeding as an uncomfortable and fleeting audiovisual piece.

A safe and well-executed mode, which relies on the extremely strong foundation of Battlefield 6. For now, it may not define the future of the genre, but it fulfills its role by expanding the game's reach and offering immediate fun for those seeking something free and technically refined.

8 / 10.0 - ARC Raiders
Nov 13, 2025

ARC Raiders is an ambitious, visually distinct extraction shooter that successfully captures the genre's unpredictability. However, the game is undermined by an unengaging base/inventory management and a lack of purpose that contrasts sharply with the excellent tension of the surface expeditions.

7.5 / 10.0 - Silly Polly Beast
Nov 10, 2025

Silly Polly Beast is a visually striking and emotionally heavy indie experience that blends punk aesthetics, brutal storytelling, and bold experimentation. Despite its clunky combat and uneven mechanics, its unique identity and strong atmosphere make it a project worth remembering.
