Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo is a solid metroidvania that introduces a unique weapon which positively impacts both the combat system and the puzzles.

There is no doubt about the quality of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater as a remake of one of the greatest titles ever. And no matter how much praise it deserves, it is impossible to hide a certain disappointment in realizing that this may be the only path forward for Konami’s series.

Herdling is a contemplative journey that stands out for its visual storytelling and the growing bond between a simple shepherd and his improvised flock, a game that will stay with you not for its gameplay, but for the emotional experience it builds in this relationship between humans and animals.

System Shock 2 returns with a fresh look, featuring new high-definition textures and controls adapted to the limitations of gamepads, but the debut of the iconic sequel on consoles is anything but unmissable.

More compact and linear than the original game, the expansion RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business aims to deliver a combat-focused experience in a controlled setting, while also trying to expand the story of Alex Murphy and the residents of the OmniTower — but optimisation issues and repetitive gameplay strip Rogue City of its charm and leave us with little.

After Nidhogg and Flywrench, Messhof brings us Wheel World — a different kind of project, an adventure and bicycle racing game that turned out to be one of the most pleasant surprises of 2025.

Everdeep Aurora is a good idea that stands out for its visual presentation and charming characters, but it’s rarely fun or engaging as we explore its underground world.

There are exciting moments in Ruffy and the Riverside, an adventure platformer with a copy-and-paste mechanic used to solve clever puzzles, but the lack of variety and depth in how its core mechanic is implemented undermines the game's good intentions.

A Spoonful of Wonder had its heart in the right place, and Copycat earns some of its more emotional moments, but the final message isn’t always clear, and the gameplay holds back what could’ve been a fresh perspective within the genre.

Good ideas alone can’t save MercurySteam’s latest title from bad design choices, like the frequently confusing exploration and a combat system that, while ambitious, is still held back by its own mechanics.

Far Out Games Studio’s debut title shows a lot of potential, but it’s held back by weak world design and a lack of originality in its main missions.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a new adventure for the Turtles, and their foray into the roguelike genre is mostly positive, though ultimately unremarkable. The game features various systems to explore, plenty of customisation and progression options, and all four Turtles have been designed for close, mid, and even long-range combat with unique abilities. Unfortunately, the fights become predictable, difficulty spikes often feel unexpected and even undeserved, and the campaign’s linearity — with no option to choose the next arena — eventually becomes tiring due to its rigid, repetitive structure. It’s a good game with solid ideas and a narrative focus that fans of the franchise will appreciate, but it’s far from the most replayable roguelike currently available.

After several years of waiting, Post Trauma is finally available on PC and consoles, but what could have been a solid tribute to the horror genre turns out to be a series of disappointing choices that only make us appreciate the classic survival horrors even more.

There are moments when the title from Primal Game Studio works as a solid 2D action RPG, but the closer it leans into soulslike and metroidvania territory, the more it feels hollow — and even infuriating.

The puppet who dreamed of becoming a real boy gave rise to one of the most notable soulslikes in the genre, which, two years after its release, still enjoys remarkable popularity.

With a new perspective and a focus on co-op play, the sequel tries to expand on the first game’s sarcastic humour and exploration, but does very little with the formula and quickly becomes repetitive.
