5 / 10.0 - Screamer
Apr 8, 2026

Screamer tries to blend anime storytelling with arcade racing, but the result feels disjointed and ultimately boring. While the visual style and split-screen multiplayer are welcome, the repetitive structure, weak driving mechanics, and poorly presented story that's easy to skip drag the experience down. It's a unique idea that never truly comes together.

Legacy of Kain: Ascendance is a short prequel set in the beloved Nosgoth universe, offering fans a chance to explore Raziel's origin and revisit familiar characters. While the voice acting and music are excellent, the game suffers from a shallow, fan-fiction-like story and bland gameplay. Retro 2D visuals and occasional animated sequences look nice individually, but the mix feels inconsistent. Fans of the series may appreciate the return to Nosgoth, but for newcomers or those seeking engaging mechanics, the experience is underwhelming.

Life is Strange: Reunion delivers an emotional return to beloved characters, blending a solid detective story with impactful choices and strong atmosphere. While the narrative and music shine, the experience is held back by minimal gameplay, technical issues, and a short runtime. It's not the grand finale the series might deserve, but it still offers a meaningful and heartfelt conclusion for fans.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered shows its age in places, with shallow combat, recycled environments, and some technical issues. However, its outstanding story, rich mythology, and charismatic performances from the lead characters still shine. The improved visuals, better camera, and generous bonus materials make this the best way to revisit a classic.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake delivers a tense and atmospheric survival horror experience with rich folklore, immersive sound design, and a compelling story. While the remake updates visuals and expands content, clunky controls, outdated backtracking, and occasional design frustrations prevent it from fully capturing the original's mastery.

Reigns: The Witcher is a fun and addictive mix of The Witcher's dark fantasy and the simple, swipe-based Reigns mechanics. It doesn't stray far from the series formula, so longtime fans will feel right at home. Quick decisions can lead to life, death, or chaos, and while the gameplay can feel repetitive at times, the variety of characters and outcomes keeps it engaging. Perfect for short sessions on mobile, though not particularly innovative.

God of War: Sons of Sparta is a competent 2D metroidvania that expands Kratos' past with solid combat, familiar voices, and a decent amount of content. However, generic level design, forgettable bosses, heavy backtracking, and a lack of standout moments prevent it from feeling worthy of the franchise's legacy. Functional, but surprisingly uninspired.

This collection is the best way to experience the original Rayman, offering multiple versions with modern enhancements and a wealth of archival content for longtime fans. However, as a 30th anniversary tribute, it feels underwhelming ' lacking additional entries and replacing the original soundtrack with a new one that doesn't quite capture the same magic.

8.5 / 10.0 - Reanimal
Feb 11, 2026

Reanimal delivers a tense, visually striking survival-horror experience in the vein of Little Nightmares. Its cooperative gameplay, claustrophobic levels, and subtle storytelling keep players on edge, while hidden collectibles extend the 6'8 hour runtime. Though it doesn't reinvent the wheel, it refines the series' formula with style and atmosphere.

Mario Tennis Fever delivers fast, accessible arcade tennis backed by impressive depth and an abundance of modes. Its strong local and online multiplayer ensures long-term appeal, even if the game rarely surprises and mainly refines familiar ideas. A polished and highly enjoyable iteration rather than a bold reinvention.

Romeo Is a Dead Man is a wildly creative, genre-blending action game that fully embraces chaos as a design philosophy. Its combat is fast and satisfying, its ideas bold and unpredictable, and its presentation unmistakably auteur-driven. However, the sheer density of mechanics, tones, and narrative threads often works against cohesion, making the experience as exhausting as it is fascinating. A unique ride that will reward players willing to surrender to its madness ' and lose others along the way.

Is this collection worth it? The first game is still fun, but the sequel remains a bad game with little reason to revisit. '20 for two basic ports with minimal improvements is too much.

8.5 / 10.0 - Dispatch
Jan 28, 2026

Dispatch delivers one of the strongest superhero stories in recent years, blending sharp writing, memorable characters, and stylish presentation. While the Switch 2 version runs smoothly and looks great, heavy visual censorship, limited interactivity, and a lack of player control over mission outcomes make it a compromised way to experience an otherwise excellent game.

Montezuma's Revenge ' The 40th Anniversary Edition offers nostalgic fun with updated graphics and new levels, but repetitive gameplay, softlocks, and a lack of modern QoL features hold it back. Still, its classic charm provides enjoyment for longtime fans.

Terminator 2D: No Fate delivers great visuals, sound, and fun gameplay, but its extremely short length undermines the experience. With multiple playthroughs possible in under two hours, the '30 price feels hard to justify, especially given the lack of gameplay variety.

7 / 10.0 - Gloomy Eyes
Dec 9, 2025

Gloomy Eyes is a visually striking and atmospheric game featuring two cooperating characters and clever puzzles. Its story of outsiders finding their place in the world is charming and emotionally engaging, enhanced by Tim Burton'inspired design and music. However, technical issues and frequent bugs disrupt the experience, especially given the game's short length.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond delivers the kind of return the series deserved. Retro Studios stays true to the original formula while adding fresh ideas, stronger storytelling, and a smarter world design. It's not a revolution and some technical limits show through, but in all essentials it excels ' it's tense, clever, atmospheric, and consistently fun. A confident proof that Metroid Prime still has plenty to say.

After two years, Football Manager 26 doesn't quite justify the wait. Tech upgrades help, but the clunky new interface and technical issues hold it back. The core remains deep and addictive, yet the overall experience feels rougher'even if I still ended up investing plenty of hours.

Once Upon a Katamari keeps the series' trademark charm and eccentric humor intact. Some old flaws remain ' the clunky camera, minor grind, and brief loading pauses ' but they're easy to forgive. It's quirky, joyful, and still one of the few games that can make you smile just by playing.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is a worthy tribute to the iconic franchise, blending games, archival footage, and history into a cohesive interactive documentary. However, it feels incomplete ' some key titles and features are missing, and the historical coverage ends too soon.
