Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition celebrates the classic platformer with a collection that brings together five versions of the original Rayman alongside extras focused on preserving the franchise’s history, including an interactive museum and a playable prototype. While it offers an interesting look behind the scenes of the game’s development, the package feels limited due to the lack of variety, as each version delivers nearly the same experience. The gameplay retains the challenging feel of its era, with rigid controls, though modern features like rewind help soften the difficulty. Overall, it works better as a historical celebration for fans than as a content-rich collection.

Avowed is an RPG adventure that, surprisingly, manages to appeal to different types of players. It works for those who value charismatic characters and meaningful interactions, for those looking for intense combat filled with magic and build variety, and also for anyone who enjoys spending hours immersed in a richly crafted world. Precisely because it tries to embrace so much, it can feel somewhat superficial in certain aspects. Even so, it delivers a solid, engaging, and fun journey, carrying the level of quality you would expect from an experienced studio like Obsidian.

Reanimal goes far beyond being just an inspiration from The Little Nightmares. Developed by Tarsier Studios, the project shows a clear sense of identity and the confidence to explore new ideas. Instead of simply repeating mechanics that worked in the past, the studio expands its formula by introducing combat and building a brand new universe with its own tone and personality. The result is an experience that respects its roots while carving out a distinct path, with enough strength and originality to stand on its own and potentially grow into a franchise just as memorable as the one that inspired it.

Code Vein 2 expands on the ideas of the first game with more content, a stronger focus on dual combat, and a narrative built around multiple timelines. The story’s core concept is interesting, though characters and dialogue struggle to create emotional engagement. Combat remains methodical and strategic, working well in cooperative play and offering a good variety of builds, even if few boss fights stand out as truly memorable. Exploration is open and functional, but provides limited incentives beyond basic progression. Confusing interfaces, recurring technical issues, and visuals below expectations for the current generation hurt the overall experience. Overall, it is an above-average game that will please fans of the original Code Vein, but it fails to stand out in a competitive year due to its reliance on safe, unambitious formulas.
