Side Project

MyDear.exe is a production that knows its own identity well and brings it out through a simple structure, yet one rich in personality. Not all the minigames reach the same level of quality, and exploration can occasionally feel scattered, but these are imperfections that don’t compromise the project’s overall value. By the end of this short journey, a sincere affection for Ellie and Lucien remains, almost as if it had truly been possible to share a fragment of their life.

Crymelight is FuRyu’s rebirth and a classic example of how appearances deceive: beneath a low-budget game priced at almost €20, it hides a work with great heart—one that deserves to be played and appreciated by everyone. The roguelike gameplay works, and the challenge level is appropriate and satisfying, even if the repetitiveness starts to show after a few hours. The shift to an entirely 2D style doesn’t affect the final result at all. On the contrary, everything feels very artistically inspired, thanks also to the influence of Alice in Wonderland.

On one side we have an excellent farming sim that has nothing to envy from more famous titles, on the other a solid horror experience inspired by Japanese folklore. With Village in the Shade, Nippon Ichi Software has created a completely new experience, perfectly combining two genres that couldn’t be more different from each other. We don’t exaggerate in saying it’s one of the software house’s best recent titles, one that could give rise to an entirely new genre strand.

From the high-level plot to gameplay that embraces both newcomers and veterans, to an exceptional technical department on PC, Ace Combat 8 represents a huge step forward. For the first time in the series, war isn't told only as a succession of military missions; it also makes room for the psychological consequences of the conflict, the weight of collective expectations, and the construction of heroes. All in all, Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is without the slightest doubt the best entry in the series.

Marvel’s Wolverine is a game for those who want something old school: linear, entertaining, and lasting just long enough before moving on to the thousand other releases of this crazy gaming period. Graphically, the title is incredibly satisfying, but the game stumbles on code-level messiness. An Insomniac slip we wouldn’t have expected.

NBA 2K27 is the classic basketball game of recent years: something incredibly fun, ruined by microtransactions and aggressive monetization. The gameplay improvements are noticeable, and the simulation is getting ever closer to a point where it’s almost impossible to improve certain elements further. The problem stems from the fact that in online modes, the game is pretty much in the hands of those with the most money, who can afford maxed-out players and thus dominate every court. In the long run, the best way to enjoy NBA 2K27 is to play offline or with the league’s teams.

Born as a 'minor' game, the title developed by Screen Burn takes all the elements that distinguish the Silent Hill series and adds its own touch, such as the first-person view, giving life to a high-quality game. The story manages to keep the mystery alive until the end, while St. Amelia's setting, the psychological horror, and the use of the CRTV help give Townfall its own identity without straying from what made the series famous.

Despite its flaws, Onimusha is one of the most fun games of the past nine months, in all its imperfections. This is thanks to a well-structured, well-built combat system, incredible direction, and a damn charismatic protagonist we already miss.

Cat Me If You Can is a simple, relaxing hidden object game, perfectly aware of its own nature. The good level design, the mission-based structure, and the use of color in a black-and-white 3D world manage to keep it enjoyable even during fairly long sessions.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is a game the writer was overlooking, but one that, once experienced, isn't easily forgotten. The world created by Rebel Wolves is incredible, and it manages to fight on equal terms with masterpieces like The Witcher 3. The narrative is certainly one of the production's strengths, even though it's tied to the time mechanic, which will need significant refinement for the next chapter.

Star Wars: Zero Company is a particularly interesting game. The story of Hawks and the Zero Company took us on an adventure through the Galaxy Far, Far Away that let us appreciate Star Wars, even without being big fans of it. Although the conceptual foundation recalls the standards set by XCOM, Bit Reactor's production introduces a series of interesting and clever changes that completely shake up the rhythm of combat.

Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters is a title that feels perfect for those who grew up with Takahashi's work. From a gameplay standpoint, the game takes numerous steps forward and lets you enjoy actions and outcomes similar to those seen across the series' various media, with particularly appreciable care in the in-match animations.

Disgaea Mayhem is an insufficient game, even considering it's a Nippon Ichi Software title belonging to a glorious series like Disgaea. The gameplay is bland, the settings are repetitive, and the story, despite having all the series' classic elements, is so short it doesn't allow you to fully appreciate it

Blue Reflection Quartet is spoiled by a series of unnecessary censorship, but above all by major cuts that heavily affect the original game and Sun. Nonetheless, the two main games represent the best Gust has done in recent years, both artistically and narratively, and on their own they're worth the entire package.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – Switch 2 Edition is the best way to experience, in 2026, the second chapter of one of the most important series in the complex world of JRPGs. Monolith Soft developed a title capable of blending the world of battle shonen with a quieter, more committed narrative closer to seinen works.

Cold Symmetry took Mortal Shell and tackled the heavy problems of the first chapter, creating a second entry that hybridizes Dark Souls and Sekiro that genuinely surprised us. Regardless of everything, the bold gameplay and the strong artistic component make it a game not to be underestimated, one genre fans should recover as soon as possible.

Lies of P Complete Edition is the sum of the experience created by NOUGH Studio and Neowiz. The game retraces the classic tropes of the Soulslike subgenre, improving the formula started by FromSoftware in some ways. On Nintendo Switch 2, the Balanced mode feels much closer to the fluidity of 60fps than to the heaviness of 30, while still leaving room to improve visual quality or add other elements.

Seventeen years have passed since its first release, but the value of Steins;Gate remains practically untouchable. STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT, unfortunately, fails to be its best incarnation.

The years on its shoulders are noticeable, especially in terms of visuals and animations, but EXSTETRA is quite an interesting JRPG, boasting remarkable character design and a peculiar kissing mechanic that manages to win you over.

The choice to convert the project from gacha to a premium title paid off, and the final result fully showcases the game's qualities: it's no coincidence DragonSword: Awakening found immediate success.
