Gorn was fun and engaging years ago, but today it feels a bit clunky and outdated. Gorn 2 brings its concept into the modern era and is better in practically every way. It’s easier to control, looks better, offers more varied content, and draws you deeper into its fictional world. If you own a virtual reality headset and aren’t opposed to grotesque violence and adolescent humor, you shouldn’t miss it.

Manairons is a game full of contradictions. On the one hand, it offers an enchanting world inspired by Catalan folklore, striking audiovisual styling, and a pleasantly intimate runtime that prevents it from exhausting its ideas. On the other hand, its short legs are repeatedly tripped up by imprecise controls and a confusing sense of space. As a result, players who can overlook its technical and design flaws in exchange for the originality of its theme, picturesque atmosphere, and fresh folkloric settings will enjoy it the most.

Despite its obvious age and some questionable elements, Gorn remains one of the most entertaining virtual reality fighting games and a significant chapter in the history of VR gaming. Its conceptual simplicity is more of a strength than a weakness. Gorn is physically exhausting, but mentally, it’s more relaxing than almost any other game.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is probably the best and most accessible way today to experience one of the most acclaimed series in the survival horror genre. The use of the Katana Engine has breathed a captivating, darkly beautiful visual style into the decaying village of Minakami, while the modernized camera system helps you better navigate the environment. If you appreciate the game’s fidelity to the aesthetics of Japanese horror films and its focus on building a suffocating atmosphere over action and an intuitive combat system, this is the game for you.

Saros is an example of a well-crafted sequel to a successful title—in this case, *Returnal*. It isn’t a mindless rehash, but a thoughtful expansion of what worked before. The game is more accessible to a wider audience, yet it doesn’t compromise or sacrifice any of its essence. It’s easy to succumb to its hypnotic charm, even if you’re initially skeptical of the roguelike genre. Saros is just as engaging an experience as major story-driven titles, but compared to many of them, it leaves a fresher impression.

Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes is a somewhat sad reminder that virtual reality games simply operate on a different logic than titles designed for traditional screens, and what works in one format may not work in the other. The atmosphere, sound design, and unsettling aesthetics live up to the standards set by the previous installments, but the gameplay itself suffers as a result of a mechanical transplant. If you’re looking for a well-designed and easy-to-control game that takes full advantage of virtual reality, Altered Echoes will be a nightmare for all the wrong reasons.

Overall, Machine Gun Fury is a solid retro action game that knows exactly what it wants to be. It’s not a big game, and it’s not for everyone. It will appeal mainly to players who love classic arcade shooters and don’t mind either the higher difficulty or the short playtime. Machine Gun Fury is therefore best suited for fans of old-school run-and-gun games and anyone who wants to relive the days when we could see our dream action heroes in a jumble of pixels and went to sleep with our fingers sore from pressing the “Fire” button.

Dracamar is exactly the kind of game you might easily overlook at first glance, but it will surprise you all the more once you give it a chance. Its unassuming style hides a superbly designed 3D platformer full of imaginative levels, a pleasant pace, and the joy of discovery. Thanks to its lower difficulty and approachable tone, it’s also ideal for younger players or family gaming. At the same time, with its variety and thoughtful design, it easily holds its own even among more experienced fans of the genre. Great platformers are still alive and well—and not just on the Switch!

ZPF is proof that games for 16-bit consoles have their own unique charm that never gets old and never goes out of style. From a technical standpoint, it pushes the capabilities of the home Mega Drive to the limit and can easily hold its own against its role models—namely, Thunder Force and Lords of Thunder. However, the pursuit of flashy pixel art and diverse environments also makes the game feel less focused and polished than its top-tier competitors.

The new Screamer is a title that isn’t afraid to take risks and stray a bit from the mainstream of today’s arcade racing games. It boasts a masterfully executed audiovisual concept as well as original and polished gameplay that clearly sets it apart from the competition. The futuristic, anime-style racing is thrilling and rewards dedicated practice. I wouldn’t recommend this game to people with an exceptionally short fuse, who might feel the urge to throw their controller through a closed window at times.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered will especially delight longtime fans of the series who want to revisit the dark story of Nosgoth with a more modern visual style and a significantly improved camera system. Thanks to its captivating atmosphere, dialogue, and pair of antiheroes, it can also draw in newcomers—though they should be aware that the game design and combat system simply belong to a different era. So if you’re looking for a gothic, dark action-adventure game with an emphasis on story and don’t mind older-style mechanics, you can’t go wrong with Defiance. But if you’re expecting a modern pace, seamless player guidance, and varied combat, you probably won’t be entirely thrilled by this trip down memory lane.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a controversial yet well-executed remake. It has changed and removed a lot, which doesn’t sit well with die-hard fans at all. However, it has replaced everything it took out with new content and revamped the rather clunky original game to meet modern standards. If you’ve never played the original Yakuza 3, this version might be the most accessible way for you to experience one of the key chapters in Kiryu’s story. Players who are already familiar with Yakuza 3, however, may find themselves grumbling more about what’s been lost to the dustbin of digital history than cheering about what’s been added.

Vampires: Bloodlord Rising is a game that doesn’t try to please everyone, and that’s precisely where its strength lies. It offers a slower pace, more complex systems, and a strong emphasis on strategy. The combination of an action-packed combat system, base building, resource management, and political decisions creates an unusual gameplay mix that feels fresh and well-thought-out—even if it may be a bit more challenging to grasp at first. However, once you dig beneath the surface of the mechanics, you’ll discover a surprisingly sophisticated whole, whose greatest strength is the sense of gradually growing power. A helpless creature becomes a ruler, a small fortress becomes a monumental stronghold, and a lone hunter becomes the lord of an entire region. This is an ambitious project for anyone seeking a dark fantasy strategy game with freedom of choice who wants to be more than just a hero—those who want to be the true rulers of their own empire.

Resident Evil Requiem is a showcase of the entire series in its modern form: a meticulously designed survival horror game that can be both claustrophobic and epic, all while keeping players on the edge of their seats. It takes what worked so well in RE4 and RE7 and brings it all together with confidence and top-notch production quality. I can’t think of a single reason why I should discourage anyone from playing it, but at the same time, expect the game to stick to well-trodden, tried-and-true paths and never try anything new.

Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot is reminiscent of early virtual reality games, which were designed to introduce people to new hardware and let them revel in their first immersion into a world of textures and polygons. As a full-fledged title, however, it is far too simple, short, and unengaging. Paradoxically, despite its static design, it also tends to induce nausea. In its defense, though, it was released at a low price and is very often on sale. You can pick it up for less than five euros. At that price, even an average and imperfect little game set in a popular fictional universe is something you can grab without hesitation.

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos is a well-done remaster of a game that was never quite top-tier and has aged worse than its more famous predecessors. I don’t say this with any bitterness, because I believe that even smaller, imperfect games from the past deserve to be made available to modern players on today’s platforms. You just have to keep in mind that you’re not buying a title whose qualities would earn it a spot in the platformer hall of fame.

Ultimately, Terminator 2D: NO FATE isn’t the ideal game for every fan of the movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day, but rather for players who love classic run-and-gun shooters and can appreciate their pace and emphasis on replayability. Bitmap Bureau has delivered a technically precise, visually enchanting, and solidly playable action game, though its early stages are hampered by an excessive reliance on the film’s source material and an unfortunate difficulty scaling system.

Assetto Corsa Rally is a game with a strong identity that’s already evident in Early Access. It’s definitely not for players looking for a casual driving experience and the feeling that, at least in the digital world, they can drive like Kalle Rovanperä even without rigorous training. However, if you’re drawn to a simulator that dazzles with high-quality production values, presents you with a real challenge, and—ideally—makes you a better driver in the real world as well, this new addition to the Assetto Corsa family won’t disappoint. Once the full version arrives, it could become the long-awaited successor to Richard Burns Rally and a new historic milestone in the field of rally simulators.

As a result, Wreckreation falls somewhere halfway between an indie version of Burnout Paradise and the budget game series Kobra 11 (aka Crash Time). It handles adrenaline-fueled demolition racing well enough to hold your interest, though it benefits from a lack of serious competition. However, due to a lack of variety and a rather weak driving model, the game quickly loses its appeal. Of course, that may not be the case if you’re in the mood to build your own crazy tracks.

Neon Inferno is a game for anyone who has a soft spot for old-school arcade action and wants to be reminded of the energy and design purity that classic pixel-art shooters are packed with. If you’re drawn to the dynamics of ’90s run-and-gun titles but also wish they had an “easy” mode, Neon Inferno’s style and pace will be right up your alley. And you’ll likely find yourself coming back to it again and again even after you’ve beaten it.
