Star Overdrive is a game that tries to do too much with too little. The idea of the hoverboard is fun and enjoyable when it works, but everything else lacks depth in every aspect.

The Smurfs: Dreams is the demonstration of how even a brand that is apparently not very appealing to the adult audience can give life to a solid, creative and decidedly well-made 3D platformer.

Ruffy and the Riverside is a 3D platformer that manages to balance homage and innovation, honoring the great classics of the past and adding a unique touch all its own to the experience.

Tour de France 2025 is definitely the best cycling game to date. Despite some rigidity, poor accessibility and poor general finishing, the title fully achieves the objective.

Pro Cycling Manager 25 is not a revolution, but it is certainly an important step forward for the series. A big technical step, but the management foundations remain all too familiar and dated.

Dark Fairy Tale: Dreamland Survivors is an ambitious game, with original but still immature ideas. A fun experience at times, but plagued by too many problems to really shine.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is a revision of the experience so impactful as to justify its purchase or a second game thanks to the upgrade.

THE ALTERS is an ambitious and decidedly successful project. It has its flaws, but also a beating heart, a rare intelligence and an ability to make people think that goes far beyond its genre alone.

Date Everything! it is a brilliant, surreal, artistic experiment, which dares and often manages to give emotions. But which, unfortunately, stumbles too quickly under the weight of its enormous ambition.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy – Enhanced Edition is a love letter to a historical trilogy, which maintains all its strengths (and flaws), but with a fresh coat of paint.

Rise of Industry 2 is an ambitious management game, full of content and full of potential, but it is also a game that doesn't make much effort to accommodate the player, especially the less experienced one.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma does not revolutionize the genre, but refines it with care and respect for its roots. One of the best entries in the series and a great starting point for newbies.

Blades of Fire is a different action title, more playful, more creative, but also imperfect. It dares with a brilliant combat system and fascinating concepts, but which stumbles in repetition.

RoadCraft is a title that perfectly embodies the essence of simulation: not the more standard sterile and cold one of the genre, but the lively one, full of unexpected events, tiring but rewarding.

Scar-Lead Salvation is a good quality roguelike: atmosphere, rhythm, enhancement system, and a well-characterized protagonist, but who stumbles heavily on variety, narrative and technique.

JDM: Japanese Drift Master is full of ambition and a bold attempt at open-world racing, but despite its good quality, its flaws and lack of bite undermine the experience.

Death end re;Quest Code Z is an ambitious title, but sensationally poorly balanced. It wants to be a horror roguelike with visual novel narration, but it fails to fully be either.

DOOM: The Dark Ages is a successful experiment. A bold departure from the classic formula and a clever way to freshen up a saga that could have rested on its laurels.

Captain Blood is a title that could have shone in 2005, but in 2025 it seems like an archaeological find. Nice at times, but very far from current standards.

Grandma, No! it's not a bad game at all, but a game that doesn't know how to express itself. It is content to be a 60 minute disposable product with only one trick to show, and a repetitive one at that.
