From the very beginning, I was really excited about Invincible VS. As a huge fan of the franchise, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the game. When you think about it, for a debut title, the studio has managed to deliver explosive, intense, and spectacular battles that truly do justice to the universe. The 3-on-3 combat system works a treat, the cast is compelling, and the visuals pack a punch. It all adds up to an obvious love letter to fans of the franchise. Unfortunately, all this potential is held back by content that’s far too thin to sustain the experience over the long term, particularly for players less interested in competitive multiplayer. It’s an excellent starting point for a potential sequel or for an experience that could grow over time.

Kiln is a frustrating game to review, because it’s impossible not to see the full potential of its concept. Its premise is brilliant, its pottery-making mechanics are ingenious, and its art direction is flawless. The foundations of an excellent multiplayer game are clearly there, and when everything works as intended, the experience can be genuinely fun. However, in its current state, the game mostly feels like it was released far too early. Its glaring lack of content, rapid repetitiveness, uninspiring progression, balancing issues, and—above all—an already concerning player base significantly limit the enjoyment it can offer. Despite its more-than-attractive price, Kiln remains, above all, an excellent idea that still needs a lot more work.

Vampire Crawlers could easily have been just another opportunistic spin-off riding on the coattails of Vampire Survivors’ popularity. Instead, the developers have delivered a surprisingly clever reimagining of their own formula, one that manages to capture the essence of the original while offering a distinct and compelling experience. The concept works wonderfully well, the art direction is superb, the gameplay is extremely satisfying, and the wealth of content will instantly delight longtime fans. Nevertheless, it’s true that the game does become a bit more repetitive and doesn’t quite reach that same level of almost addictive obsession that turned its predecessor into a phenomenon.

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire succeeds where many games with visually striking concepts fall short. It isn’t just visually original; it’s also a joy to play. The experience is driven by simply exceptional art direction, fast-paced and extremely satisfying gameplay, and a masterfully executed film noir atmosphere. This title from Fumi Games stands out as one of the most memorable and refreshing FPS games of the year. Admittedly, its investigation system takes a backseat more than one might have hoped, and the game drags a bit toward the end, but these flaws are minor compared to the overall quality of the experience.

Tides of Tomorrow is a game that gets a lot right, though it doesn’t quite reach the level of excellence. Its story is touching, its world is well-crafted, and its art direction is particularly inspired. The Story-Link system brings a genuine sense of originality, even if it shows its limitations over time, and the gameplay loop could have used a bit more variety. The game’s length is well-balanced, and the experience remains enjoyable from start to finish, but certain decisions prevent it from taking things to the next level—particularly in terms of replayability and the depth of certain systems. Nevertheless, this is a solid, sincere offering that is clearly worth checking out for fans of narrative-driven games.

Darwin’s Paradox! is the perfect example of a game driven by an excellent idea but held back by its execution. Its art direction, soundtrack, and concept make it a memorable experience in many ways. Unfortunately, its imprecise controls, inconsistent AI, and short playtime prevent it from truly leaving a lasting impression. It leaves you feeling a bit unsatisfied. Nevertheless, I’m convinced this is just the first step for this young studio, which clearly demonstrates with this title that it’s not lacking in talent or ideas.

Ultimately, what stands out about Hozy is a sense of untapped potential. The game has a solid foundation, a strong visual identity, and a well-crafted atmosphere, but it ends too soon. It feels more like an extended demo than a full-fledged experience, which is all the more frustrating given that you can tell there was potential for so much more. With more content, more precise controls, and, above all, the addition of a sandbox mode, the game could have established itself as a benchmark in the genre.

MLB The Show 26 offers gameplay that’s as solid as ever, comprehensive game modes, and exemplary accessibility. For someone new to the series, it’s undoubtedly a great place to start. However, for regular players, the picture is more nuanced. The lack of real innovations, the aging technical execution, and online issues give the impression of a franchise that is taking more steps backward than forward.

With Docked, the developers have created a surprisingly well-crafted port simulation. The game impresses with its meticulously designed industrial environments, realistic vehicles, and effective blend of driving and resource management. Even though some missions can feel repetitive and the game’s lifespan is a bit short, the experience remains enjoyable from start to finish. I would have liked, however, to be able to continue operating the port once the campaign was over. A sandbox mode would also have turned the experience into a true playground for simulation enthusiasts. The foundation is solid; now it’s just a matter of polishing the title with updates or additional content to prove that even the most technical industrial activities can become surprisingly captivating.

WWE 2K26 continues to refine the formula established in recent entries, offering a massive amount of content and a roster featuring hundreds of WWE superstars. The core gameplay remains satisfying once players master the timing of counters, and modes like MyGM and the career-style story mode add meaningful variety. Presentation is still a strong point, with detailed arenas and authentic entrances that capture the feel of WWE broadcasts. While some animations show their age and the seasonal content model raises questions for the future, the game stands as one of the most content-rich entries in the series

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a promising beat ’em up from Tribute Games that captures the spirit of classic arcade brawlers while embracing Marvel’s cosmic universe. Its pixel-art presentation, cooperative gameplay, and accessible combat system make it immediately fun to pick up, especially in multiplayer. While the gameplay loop can become repetitive over time and the difficulty curve stays fairly forgiving, the charm of the characters and fast-paced action keep the experience entertaining. Overall, it’s a nostalgic yet modern superhero brawler that arcade-style action fans will appreciate.

Project Motor Racing aims to deliver a realistic and accessible racing simulation, with solid driving physics and a focus on track authenticity. While the core handling model can feel satisfying for simulation fans, the overall experience lacks momentum due to limited content variety and presentation that feels somewhat dated. Career progression and game modes don’t offer enough depth to keep players engaged over the long term. Despite its good intentions and technical foundation, the game struggles to stand out in a highly competitive racing-sim genre.

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 delivers a huge amount of content across its campaign, multiplayer and zombies modes with impressive visuals and ambitious ideas. The campaign tries to create psychological horror and succeeds at times, but the absence of a pause option, unreliable saves, missing partner characters in solo missions and uneven pacing can make it frustrating. Multiplayer and zombies remain the most enjoyable parts with satisfying gunplay, good movement and plenty of variety, even if some maps feel unbalanced and the twenty versus twenty mode needs tuning. Overall it is a generous but uneven package.

Dispatch presents a stylish, cinematic narrative adventure with strong visuals, an outstanding voice cast, and a clever blend of interactive storytelling and light team-management mechanics. The episodic structure builds mood and character well, but the replayability is limited, dialog skipping would help, and a few bugs disrupt the flow. Very good overall.

Football Manager 26 delivers a bold reboot: a new Unity engine, revamped interface, and inclusion of women’s football all signal a major leap. The match visuals are sharper and clubs feel more alive. However, long-time fans may struggle with the unfamiliar navigation, the lighter hands-on control, and lingering odd animations. Overall it’s a promising foundation, even if it isn’t flawless yet.

A beautifully remastered version of the classic tower-defense that keeps its charm intact. With upgraded visuals, vibrant colours and two new local multiplayer modes, it’s still as fun and slick as ever. That said, it doesn’t break new ground or overhaul the gameplay, so longtime fans may find it comfortably familiar but not daring.

NASCAR 25 delivers a serious, authentic racing experience from iRacing Studios. The career mode now begins in lower tiers and requires real effort to climb to the top, while the on-track physics and opponent behavior shine in simulation-style realism. Some of the management systems and online features feel shallow or under-developed, and the journey is more grind than spectacle — but the foundation is strong.

EA FC 26 is a good vintage, without being a masterpiece. It's an edition that exudes stability and a willingness to listen. The additions are intelligent, the gameplay is more nuanced, and the return to a more realistic pace makes offline games more interesting again. The animations have improved, Career mode is slowly getting better, and Ultimate Team mode, despite its flaws, remains addictive. For its part, the Switch 2 version confirms that EA finally seems to be taking the portability of its franchise seriously. Overall, longtime players will probably feel that there aren't enough new features. This is more of a transitional installment than a revolution.

Dying Light: The Beast is a solid return for the franchise. It capitalizes on its historical strengths, such as fluid parkour, a thrilling day/night cycle, and brutal combat, and adds the welcome return of Kyle Crane. It's an adventure that works, that's fun to play, and that reminds us why the series made such an impression on gamers. However, its limitations are obvious. The story doesn't really take off, the secondary characters are too much in the background, the progression is simplified, and the new features are poorly exploited. The title is both a pleasant and frustrating experience. Pleasant because it's good at what it does, but frustrating because it never dares to do more.

Formula Legends immediately captivates with its distinctive visual style and surprises with its depth of gameplay, which is much richer than expected. However, its demanding nature, rigid artificial intelligence, and collision management detract from part of the experience. Each session leaves you with the impression of having experienced a daring and innovative title, but also of having faced frustrations that could have been avoided. Nevertheless, it will certainly find its niche audience, although it would have been interesting to make it more accessible to newcomers.
