Transport Fever 3 turned out to be a game of big ambitions. Building a functioning logistics network is quite a challenging task, and the developers tried to implement it across several time periods as well. The result is engaging, though the interface here definitely needs refinement.

Devolver Digital ended up with a dead game that seemingly no one knows why it was made or who it was even made for - and unsurprisingly, nobody bought it. Honestly, that's probably for the best. The gameplay isn't interesting, the roguelike mechanics are barely there, and playing with fewer than five people is both boring and frustrating.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a pristine game that is very often trapped in its attempts to solve the problems that were never really there. Cut out all the fat, streamline the experience, and with the sequel you can get yourself a really outstanding action title. To live is to suffer, and as it stands, you really do have to suffer with some of the parts of Way of the Sword.

DragonSword: Awakening is an excellent adventure in the spirit of Tales of, but with residual elements of the gacha world and overly slow character progression. Parallels can be drawn here with Granblue Fantasy: Relink, though the Japanese project still comes off looking better than its Korean counterpart.

MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls is a deep and incredibly fast-paced fighting game that manages to breathe new life into the familiar team-based formula with its 4v4 format. It has a satisfying combat system and fantastic art direction, but all of that is held back by a lack of content variety. If it weren't for the frustrating online issues, Arc System Works' latest creation would be easy to recommend to just about anyone - whether you're a fighting game fan or simply looking to spend a few enjoyable evenings with your favorite superheroes.

Dune: Awakening is the result of Funcom's panicked flailing - in trying to please everyone, it pleased no one. You can find interesting content in it, but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack while hacking your way through the impenetrable thicket of the original story campaign. This is especially true for solo playthroughs, which the developers are now positioning as one of the key ways to play.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is not the worst game, but it doesn't amount to a revolution in the genre. Perhaps if the timer had been stricter, things would have been different. Then you'd really have to make agonizing choices, cutting off entire quest branches with a careless phrase. As it stands, the end result feels too soft and even unnecessary. As if at some point at Rebel Wolves they got scared that audiences wouldn't like the restrictions, and then reworked the timer. So every plus comes with a minus.

WheelMates feels like one good level for Split Fiction that was stretched into a full game for some reason. There's a strong sense of a shortage of interesting co-op activities for the RC cars.

Star Wars: Zero Company is a splendid tactical game with engaging gameplay that offers plenty of room for experimentation, and a very solid story within the Star Wars universe. Its creators managed to perfect the ideas that Firaxis Games couldn't properly realize back in the day. However, Bit Reactor's creation is currently in dire need of patches aimed at improving performance and ironing out a number of unpleasant rough edges.

The Sinking City 2 is a linear and utterly derivative game that is nonetheless well-crafted and visually stunning. That said, it can still be enjoyable if you ignore its toothless political agenda and a number of idiotic design choices. This budget Resident Evil clone can very well hold its own against other horror projects on the indie scene, which is no small achievement.

Asobo Studio has delivered a fantastic adventure, leagues ahead of A Plague Tale: Requiem, and a clear demonstration of how much the team has grown. Unique, story-driven single-player experiences like this don't come around nearly as often these days, so this isn't one to skip. Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is absolutely worth playing.

Mortal Shell II turned out to be a benchmark work of fixing the mistakes of its predecessor. The world exploration is engaging, and the player is rewarded for their curiosity. The weapons and shells offer plenty of room for experimentation. Of course, Cold Symmetry won't escape the label of "yet another Dark Souls clone," but the studio has done a lot to appeal to players who consciously avoid this genre.

Is it worth giving the game a chance? Yes, but don't expect to suddenly discover a "hidden gem." In Beast of Reincarnation, there's roughly an equal mix of what can captivate you and what makes you yawn. Moreover, Game Freak isn't doing itself any favors by borrowing so heavily from other projects without managing to fully deliver on any of it.

Moss: The Forgotten Relic stays true to the original, offering charming animations, interesting puzzles, and pleasing visuals. So it's still enjoyable to support the mouse Quill even without a VR headset.

The final verdict is disappointing. Halo Studios is not only incapable of making a quality brand-new game, but they can't even handle a remake of a timeless classic. Yes, Combat Evolved may seem somewhat dated in places today, but it still generates unforgettable battles. Halo: Campaign Evolved brought positive changes to the original campaign, but much of it also turned out to be either superfluous or downright ridiculous. What's especially frustrating is the deterioration of combat dynamics combined with the dumbing down of the AI. And the absence of multiplayer simply can't be ignored.

Gothic 1 Remake turned out to be a rather mixed remake. The final result was influenced by the team's inexperience and budget constraints, which led to a certain rawness in the remake and the implementation of both successful and unsuccessful solutions. Despite this, Alkimia Interactive handled the legacy of Piranha Bytes with care, recreating Gothic 1 in a way that makes it accessible to a wider audience.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is wonderful game for anyone looking to unwind and recapture a sense of childhood wonder. No one is trying to kill you, punish you by taking away hard-earned progress, or expect you to spend hours memorizing boss attack patterns. This is Nintendo's quintessential take on a family game-one where simply taking in the world and interacting with it feels rewarding in its own right. Just don't expect it to be anything more than that.

You can't say that Tour de France 2026 has stopped evolving, but progress is minimal given the microscopic budgets and very narrow audience of cycling game fans. The question is whether the franchise is valuable enough to Nacon, which is on the brink of bankruptcy.

The Star Fox remake stays too faithful to the original. Even the tank controls are implemented terribly. And aside from the short length, the price becomes a major factor. The question is: are you willing to pay $60 for the cartridge (or $50 for the digital version) to get a top-notch but short adventure?

Who cares that Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is built on a thirteen-year-old game. It still captivates and literally keeps you glued to the screen.
