A fascinating voyage in 1900 Sicily, marred by a very formulaic story that can be guessed almost from the very start. Some gameplay elements are quite bizarre too, such as giving the player the option to buy and customize equpimente, and then giving default guns in more or less half the fights. A shame.

The second chapter of The Hinokami Chronicles boasts good aesthetic and narrative fidelity to the reference work, but does not shine in terms of content and innovation.

A well-executed psychological horror game that looks beyond the glossy surface of the film industry to reveal its compromises.

Football 26 is a sequel that improves every detail of the previous chapter without distorting its essence; a simulation that is a journey at heart of college football, designed especially for those who love the single-player experience: a bold choice in a world dominated by multiplayer. Deeper than Madden, more exciting, and above all, more authentic.

Killing Floor 3 is bloody and fun, but stuck in the past: a solid co-op shooter with old-school charm, yet lacking innovation and at risk of becoming repetitive without fresh content.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a game that, despite its structure and initial difficulty, delivers a surprisingly enjoyable experience. Its rough edges and unpolished aspects are evident, but the core strengths - particularly its rewarding evasion-focused combat - elevate it. Though it feels like a product from a bygone era, its compelling gameplay moments make it a worthwhile journey.

Shadow Labyrinth is a bold experiment that only partially succeeds: a compelling and demanding metroidvania, held back by frustrating design choices and an underwhelming narrative.

Donkey Kong finds a new identity that embraces and rewrites the long legacy of the character, integrating his musical flair and his love for bashing stuff. It's a long, fun game, full of crazy ideas. It may be a bit too easy for veteran players, especially in the first half, but by now we know that's mostly to be expected from Nintendo.

A timeless classic, restored with care and respect: System Shock 2 remains a deep and unforgettable experience.

FBC: Firebreak has some potential and its Control-style oddness works well, but the rest doesn't particularly stand out, and the limited in-game content doesn't help.

TRON: Catalyst is a game that delivers solidly across nearly every aspect: from the length of the adventure to its combat system, from the art direction to the soundtrack, and even its fair launch price. But this very consistency - without major highs or lows - is both its greatest strength and the factor that holds it back from true greatness.

Sonic x Shadow Generations stands out as one of the stronger entries dedicated to SEGA's iconic character. While Sonic Generations was already well-received at its original release, the addition of Shadow Generations rounds out the experience, making this collection appealing even to those familiar with the 2011 original. It's not just for longtime fans of the Blue Blur but also for newcomers seeking a modern adventure, especially with the characters gaining renewed popularity thanks to recent films.

Rematch brings a bold twist to a genre that's been playing it safe for too long, offering a fast, stylish, and skill-driven take on football. Its gameplay is both accessible and surprisingly deep, turning every match into a highlight reel. Still, technical hiccups, balancing issues, and missing features like crossplay and offline modes keep it from reaching its full potential. Sloclap has built something great, and with the right support, Rematch could grow into a true standout in the genre.

A light-hearted experience, primarily aimed at younger players, that slips a bit too quickly into repetition.

The Alters by Polish developer 11 Bit Studios once again showcases their talent for blending complex gameplay mechanics with a thoughtfully crafted narrative and mature themes. The decision to make the protagonist's clones into fully realized alter egos - each with distinct personalities, backgrounds, and ambitions - adds meaningful depth to this unique survival-management experience. While the interface can feel a bit unwieldy, and the gameplay loops may become repetitive with an uneven difficulty curve, these issues don't detract from the game's compelling story, immersive atmosphere, and solid visual design.

A solid, original and full of potential MMO, as well as being the best video game transposition of the universe created by Frank Herbert.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach boldly expands the philosophical and post-apocalyptic universe created nearly six years ago by Hideo Kojima, enriching and diversifying the gameplay with dynamics, yet without managing to replicate the narrative strength, character charm, and emotional impact of the first, surprising chapter. Technically stunning and artistically inspired, this sequel manages to entertain and engage, but also leaves the impression that its narrative structure cannot always sustain the dozens of hours needed to complete the adventure without lapses in pacing and intensity.

Lies of P: Overture is a strong and rewarding expansion that builds on the base game with memorable bosses, new gear, and a darker, emotional storyline that acts as both prequel and epilogue. While some issues remain - like uneven level design and occasional camera hiccups - the excellent combat additions, quality of life improvements, and high narrative quality make it a must-play for fans, offering 15 hours of rich, atmospheric content.

The best chance to rediscover a title that pays homage to classic JRPGs.

A short but engaging roguelite. Its mechanics are both immediate and layered, and it closes the adventures of Queen Alexandra very well after Lost in Random.
