Echoes of Aincrad had a huge opportunity in its hands and squeezes almost every good idea into a shallow, disappointing execution.

Halo: Campaign Evolved is a more than valid entry point for anyone who never had the chance to discover the series at launch. The visual reconstruction is nearly flawless, and the audio manages to move you without relying on nostalgia

Vampire Crawlers perfectly blends the style of Vampire Survivors with dungeon crawler mechanics, with an identity and an idea that will be hard to replicate in the future.

Rhythm Paradise Groove returns without reinventing its formula, and proves it still has plenty to say. The result is a rich, immediate experience that challenges even players who think they already have rhythm in their blood.

The work done by MAGI Inc. is impressive, not only for the amount of content, but especially for how every player choice truly carries weight on Alice's growth and the story's evolution. Magical Princess is not just a great game, but an experience of infinite sweetness that was truly needed.

The gacha system without a 50/50 represents one of the smartest ideas seen in the genre in recent years. Neverness to Everness has everything it takes to join the ranks of HoYoverse, Kuro Games, and Hypergryph.

Starbites is an intriguing, inspired and fun game, penalized by a Nintendo Switch version that calling a disaster would almost be an understatement.

Forza Horizon 6 can be considered a great arcade racer, though 'only' a solid sequel. Gameplay is one of its biggest improvements, with cars benefiting from Turn 10's work.

Monster Crown: Sin Eater is a great addition to the monster-taming genre, and simply calling it a 'Pokémon-like' would be extremely reductive.

Seeing the RE Engine in action in a sci-fi setting proves once again how excellent Capcom's graphics engine has become. An ode to games of the good old days.

ANTHEM#9 is a small indie surprise that intelligently blends roguelite, deckbuilding, and turn-based puzzle combat. The system works really well once you master the rhythm of combos and interruptions.

A journey rediscovering candid, childlike love that, in a world full of malice, always manages to move you.
