Dead or Alive 6: Last Round is a great fighting game let down by a baffling re-release strategy: no rollback netcode, no crossplay, no Tag Battle, and hundreds of euros in DLC, seven years after the original.

Velan Studios has done something remarkable: rebuilt one of Nintendo's most beloved classics piece by piece with respect and skill, adding enough new content to make it more than a nostalgia trip. This is the definitive version of Star Fox — and if this is truly the beginning of a new chapter for Fox McCloud, the Lylat System's future has never looked brighter.

Team Asano proves the HD-2D aesthetic works beautifully outside turn-based JRPGs. A Zelda-inspired adventure that respects its influences without being defined by them, with a combat customization system that keeps you engaged long after the credits roll.

IO Interactive has built something truly their own: a Bond game with genuine creative ambition, applying everything Hitman taught them about spy sandboxes with intelligence and restraint. If this is the first chapter of a new 007 saga, the wait for the next one has already begun.

Mina the Hollower is not an homage or a nostalgia exercise — it's an original work that uses its inspirations as raw material for something genuinely new. Every hour on Tenebrous Isle adds another layer of understanding. Finishing it doesn't mean you've exhausted it. For fans of soulslike and action-adventure games, it's an essential purchase.

A reminder of why Nintendo remains Nintendo. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book doesn't chase trends — it builds its own vision with conviction and delivers it with impeccable production quality. For players willing to tune into its frequency of calm, wonder, and generosity, it's simply unmissable

TT Games has dismantled decades of Batman and reassembled them into something fresh, built on the best combat system ever seen in a LEGO game. It's not Arkham, but it's the closest thing available today — wrapped in the humor and content generosity only the LEGO brand can deliver. For Dark Knight fans, it's unmissable.

Saros is the kind of game you'll remember for its best moments — the run where everything clicked, the boss fight finally conquered, the flow state only Housemarque bullet hells can create. The story doesn't land where it aims and the roguelite structure shows cracks, but the heart beats strong. Carcosa is worth facing again and again.

Aphelion is a faithful portrait of DON'T NOD: ambitious ideas and rare narrative sensibility, undercut by a recurring inability to fully deliver on them. Persephone, Ariane, and Thomas deserve to be discovered — but the cracks show, and in a genre where atmosphere and coherence are everything, they weigh more than they should.

Capcom's most ambitious new IP in years delivers on its long wait. The hacking system is one of the freshest ideas in shooters in recent memory, Hugh and Diana are a duo worth remembering, and the Cradle is a world that begs to be fully explored. Here's hoping this is just the beginning.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream does many things well, but sharing restrictions and shallow long-term progression keep it from reaching its full potential. A life simulator with genuine soul, held back by avoidable flaws that prevent it from being something truly special.

Not the game of the year, and it doesn't try to be. A handcrafted indie FPS with a bold artistic vision that stays fun throughout without ever betraying its identity. The imperfections are there, but they don't overshadow what Fumi Games built: an original, visually memorable experience worth opening.

Replaced is a reminder of why the indie scene matters. Sad Cat Studios spent five years — through delays, a war, and a studio relocation — delivering a debut that wants to say something, and mostly succeeds. For fans of cinematic action platformers from Another World to Prince of Persia, this is a worthy heir.

Crimson Desert could have been so much more. Pearl Abyss's ambition is real and occasionally tangible — exploring Pywel can still surprise even after dozens of hours. But that sense of wonder is constantly interrupted by a combat system that wears thin, an unconvincing narrative, disorienting controls, and bugs that can cost hours of progress. Recommended only to the most patient.

Exactly what a good remake should be: respectful of the original, enriched with care, accessible to a new generation without losing its essence. Team Ninja handled an untouchable classic with precision — and it holds up.

A builder full of heart and personality, turning the reconstruction of a ruined world into something relaxing, creative, and deeply satisfying. A small spin-off that absolutely deserves to be played.

Capcom had the courage to introduce a brand-new protagonist alongside an iconic one, and it pays off. Requiem speaks two languages — whispered terror and thunderous action — with equal mastery. Not flawless, but unforgettable. Capcom still knows how to make you afraid. And much, much more.

Proof that you don't need a massive production to create something memorable. Artistic care, gameplay coherence, and narrative sensitivity merge into a moving, poetic, and surprisingly mature experience that raises the series bar even further.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties successfully fixes the original's frustrating elements, delivering a smoother and more engaging criminal drama. While not entirely perfect, it mixes series trademark tension and sidestory madness with renewed energy.
