Minecraft Dungeons II is an accessible, but very simple action-RPG that really shines as a co-op game. The open world, the new dimension called Sift, loot, and bosses add plenty of extra content to the formula, but the game stays true to the first installment. However, it also introduces some new (technical) problems.

Aniimo is an interesting creature-collecting game with a strong visual style and a few good ideas. The “Twining” mechanic gives battling and capturing Aniimo a unique twist, and the open world offers plenty of reasons to collect different types. The Sanctums and side quests provide variety, while the story sparks enough curiosity to keep you playing. However, the game is held back by occasional animation issues and a significant number of glitches.

Five years after the launch of Early Access, Valheim finally feels complete. The Deep North provides the world with a clear final chapter and offers enough new content to bring back experienced players, while serving as a great entry point for new players. At the same time, the game’s strength lies in the systems that have been in place for years.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave brings an interesting new twist to the familiar formula. The tactical battles feel familiar, while switching between four unique main characters and their different storylines provides plenty of variety. The story takes a while to get going, but it gets stronger once you understand how the different pieces fit together.

Orbitals is a co-op adventure that knows exactly what it wants to be. Shapefarm has created a game that revolves entirely around playing together and has built nearly every mechanic around that concept.

The Blood of Dawnwalker has an interesting identity thanks to its combination of human and vampire gameplay, the day-and-night cycle, the time system and meaningful choices. However, the empty open world, awkward blood and health system, time pressure, uneven combat and several visual and technical bugs keep the experience from reaching its full potential. I enjoyed my time with it, but I often found myself thinking how much stronger the game could have been with a livelier world and a better balance between freedom and time pressure.

Voidling Bound has a fantastic premise, but at the same time, its potential is undermined by poor balance, simplistic combat, and an endgame that doesn't offer enough of a challenge to fully utilize all the systems.

Mina the Hollower proves that nostalgia alone isn’t enough to create a rock-solid game, but that innovation is necessary and possible without losing sight of the game’s core.

Everything is Crab is a game you’ll happily pick up for a few quick rounds, but you’re less likely to play for long sessions. It’s fun, but not as deep as it seems.

Tides of Tomorrow has a strong and original concept that also serves a social purpose. The Story-Link system creates unique moments and gives you the feeling that you’re part of something bigger, while your actions also have consequences. Not everything works equally well—especially the impact of your own choices sometimes feels limited—but the concept remains interesting overall.
