SILENT HILL: Townfall offers a highly satisfying experience for players who believe atmosphere and storytelling should take priority in horror games, and manages to become one of the most interesting entries in the series’ ongoing revival.

EA SPORTS FC 27 may be the best-feeling EA FC game on the pitch in recent years. Putting defending back in the player’s hands, the small but effective improvements to attacking, and the transfer system in Career Mode are all genuinely good moves. However, despite being the biggest new addition this year, The Grounds feels like an underdeveloped mode that lacks substance.

If you're a Wolverine fan and want to experience the character's brutality to the fullest, Marvel’s Wolverine will satisfy you to a certain extent. However, if you're looking for a superhero game that pushes the boundaries of the genre, you may have to keep waiting a little longer this time.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword manages to impress at times thanks to its fluid animations and deep mechanics. While it could have benefited from more focused project management to fully realize its potential, it is still a game that demonstrates that things are going in the right direction at Capcom.

The Blood of Dawnwalker combines time pressure with exploration and meaningful choices, constantly forcing you to decide what to prioritize. Despite its shortcomings, its human-vampire dynamic, moral ambiguity, and bold RPG choices make for a distinctive experience.

NBA 2K27 is not a bad game. On the contrary, it continues to offer the best basketball experience on the market when it comes to on-court gameplay, and almost all of the ideas it introduces this year are the right moves. The real problem is that none of them are taken far enough, leaving everything feeling half-finished.

Battlefield 6 is the game that comes closest today to those matches you used to play with your friends years ago, where you would find stories worth telling even after the game had ended. If you’re going to play a multiplayer FPS in 2026, there’s hardly any reason to choose anything else.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 fails to capture the same sense of completeness offered by the first collection. It is less generous in terms of content, more disorganized in its presentation, and the two major games included here are among the most debated entries in the series. Nevertheless, it is not a package that anyone who loves the series could easily turn down. Because the real value here lies not so much in offering a compilation, but in rescuing games that have long been buried on dusty shelves.

Mortal Shell II is a soulslike that successfully builds upon the first game in every respect and manages to carve out a place for itself within the genre. If you enjoy soulslike games, it is a title you can pick up and play without hesitation—and even if you are somewhat distant from the genre, it is still well worth giving a chance.

I am a gamer who found hope with Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to its creation, and to all the players who will experience it: enjoy!

Everything the game offers feels solid, polished, and full of character. It is clear from every detail that the people behind this game have read the books, watched the films, and more importantly, understood why both of them matter. If this is the beginning of Bond’s new era in video games, the future looks very bright.

Forza Horizon has been a beloved series for many years, and it’s also one of my personal favorites that has consistently stayed at the top. Especially if you enjoy racing games, this is definitely a game you shouldn’t miss. Because right now, it’s the most refined, most entertaining, and largest racing game you can find on the market. With its pure driving enjoyment, unique Japanese atmosphere, and seemingly endless pool of content, it stands as an undisputed leader.

It’s clear that Replaced is one of the most visually impressive games of the year. In fact, it’s one of the best-looking games in its entire genre.

Of course, it has its flaws and shortcomings, and I already tried to address them above. But the massive vision it presents, along with its pure sense of adventure and freedom, is so powerful that it deserves to go down in history as one of the boldest and most spectacular games the industry has seen in recent years. Every player who wants to experience limitless freedom, chaos, and exploration should step into the continent of Pywel and experience this game for themselves.

In a game industry where everything is changing one way or another and undergoing a fundamental paradigm shift, Beethoven & Dinosaur deserves praise for taking an active role in this transformation instead of taking refuge in the comfort of uniformity. Mixtape stands as an important example of how independent game development, with the right project management, can achieve both cinematic creativity and a modest, heartfelt style of storytelling at the same time.

While Saros tries to offer its protagonist, who seeks to rewrite the past, “a new tomorrow,” it unfortunately traps the player in the same cycle. Although the player-friendly features added following feedback from Returnal create a much smoother experience, the balance of difficulty can occasionally spiral out of control. As a result, Saros ends up being a game that addresses the shortcomings of the genres Housemarque knows best, while also dulling some of the studio’s greatest strengths.

In an industry where everything feels increasingly homogenized and repetitive, Pragmata stands out as a breath of fresh air — a game that feels both familiar and entirely new at the same time. With its innovative gameplay, consistently engaging pacing, gameplay loop that constantly keeps the player on their toes, and lovable characters, it’s safe to say that Capcom has created a promising new franchise.

If you have a group of three friends and want to experience PvP action in a retro-futuristic world, Marathon will likely provide plenty of enjoyable moments. However, if you’re expecting the same level of content richness we know from Halo and Destiny, then I don’t think Marathon is the right game for you.

Despite everything, in today’s industry where the platformer genre is often treated as a blank slate to simply build upon, games like this still hold a valuable place thanks to their straightforward approach. However, the comfort that comes with being ‘old-school’ should not make studios forget that game design itself needs to evolve just as much as production values do. In this regard, Darwin’s Paradox! unfortunately fails to go beyond offering lazy nostalgia, wasting much of its high potential.

Reanimal is a remarkably unique production in terms of creativity and horror design. Its outstanding art direction and striking visual vision will undoubtedly stay in my mind for a long time. Unfortunately, those are not the only things that will remain memorable about the game. If you are expecting a title from the former Little Nightmares team where every element works in harmony, the story steadily escalates, and the finale leaves you genuinely surprised, then in my opinion, this is not the game you are looking for.
