Dec 26, 2025

A bold, imperfect dark fairy tale, Bye Sweet Carole impresses with its imagery and stylish visuals, but divides on gameplay and difficulty.

7 / 10.0 - Sleep Awake
Dec 22, 2025

Sleep Awake is a visionary psychological horror, strong in atmosphere and aesthetics but less impactful in gameplay. A short, flawed yet memorable experience for fans of auteur-driven walking simulators.

8 / 10.0 - Routine
Dec 15, 2025

Routine is a short but intense horror focused on mood over action. Not for everyone, but truly distinctive.

8.5 / 10.0 - Lumines Arise
Nov 20, 2025

A deep, demanding and hypnotic puzzle game that blends music and gameplay into one seamless flow. Lumines Arise isn't for everyone, but once it grabs you, it becomes impossible to let go.

6 / 10.0 - Painkiller
Nov 3, 2025

An uninspired return, frantic and fun, but lacking the soul and depth that made the original Painkiller a cult game.

8.5 / 10.0 - The Outer Worlds 2
Oct 23, 2025

A deeper, more engaging sequel that enhances the original without losing its soul. Not perfect, but essential for every action-RPG fan.

6.5 / 10.0 - Yooka-Replaylee
Oct 16, 2025

A charming yet flawed comeback, Yooka-Replaylee refines the original without making it truly shine and the 30 fps on Switch 2 are an eyesore.

8.5 / 10.0 - Battlefield 6
Oct 9, 2025

Battlefield 6 is the comeback that fans of the series were waiting for: a campaign that's little more than adequate, but a thrilling, tactical, and spectacular multiplayer experience, although still needing a few final touches.

Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree is a captivating roguelite thanks to its narrative concept and artistic style, but it struggles in terms of pacing, variety and difficulty balance.

7 / 10.0 - Ghost of Yotei
Sep 25, 2025

Ghost of Yōtei offers solid gameplay and atmosphere but falls short of expectations, with déjà-vu design and modest production values. A good open world, yet not the standout PS5 exclusive it should be.

8.5 / 10.0 - Sword of the Sea
Sep 8, 2025

Sword of the Sea's journey is not as unforgettable and moving as that of Journey, but it still leaves a mark.

Sep 1, 2025

Midnight Murder Club impresses with its atmosphere and original ideas like the Wild Cards, but it suffers from lack of content and variety. Perfect with friends, less engaging when played alone.

6.5 / 10.0 - Drag x Drive
Aug 13, 2025

Drag x Drive surprises with its concept and controls, but disappoints in content, variety, and design. A missed opportunity that only works well when played online with friends with similar skill.

8 / 10.0 - Luto
Aug 12, 2025

If you love slow, atmospheric, cryptic, and introspective horror, and you're not afraid of getting lost in corridors that seem to go on forever, Luto is an experience worth trying.

6.5 / 10.0 - Killing Floor 3
Jul 28, 2025

Killing Floor 3 is bloody and fun, but stuck in the past: a solid co-op shooter with old-school charm, yet lacking innovation and at risk of becoming repetitive without fresh content.

7.5 / 10.0 - Shadow Labyrinth
Jul 18, 2025

Shadow Labyrinth is a bold experiment that only partially succeeds: a compelling and demanding metroidvania, held back by frustrating design choices and an underwhelming narrative.

A timeless classic, restored with care and respect: System Shock 2 remains a deep and unforgettable experience.

6.5 / 10.0 - FBC: Firebreak
Jul 8, 2025

FBC: Firebreak has some potential and its Control-style oddness works well, but the rest doesn't particularly stand out, and the limited in-game content doesn't help.

8.5 / 10.0 - The Alters
Jun 26, 2025

The Alters by Polish developer 11 Bit Studios once again showcases their talent for blending complex gameplay mechanics with a thoughtfully crafted narrative and mature themes. The decision to make the protagonist's clones into fully realized alter egos - each with distinct personalities, backgrounds, and ambitions - adds meaningful depth to this unique survival-management experience. While the interface can feel a bit unwieldy, and the gameplay loops may become repetitive with an uneven difficulty curve, these issues don't detract from the game's compelling story, immersive atmosphere, and solid visual design.
