The Games Machine

Fun, varied, and packed with different game modes, MLB The Show 26 offers a complete experience that leaves little to be desired, easily catering to baseball fans of all kinds. While this year's changes don't make a major impact - mostly refining what was already an excellent gameplay foundation - the core experience remains as strong as ever. For those ready to dive back in for another season of pitching duels, strikeouts, and towering home runs, the game delivers a well-rounded package that suits both a more casual playstyle and those looking for a true Major League-level challenge.

Timberborn biggest issue is the lack of a campaign or a similar, objective-based mode, which can leave inexperienced or casual players a bit disoriented, with the tutorial only partially helping. But if that doesn't scare you, or you can get enough dams under your belt to figure out what works and what doesn't, you're in for a great time.

The return to Quel'Thalas is the emotional heart of World of Warcraft: Midnight, a solid expansion that sets the stage for the epilogue of the Worldsoul Saga. The campaign revolves around the Sin'dorei and the conflict between Light and Void, with narrative highs and lows. Gameplay-wise, however, despite one truly new feature-Housing-and no structural revolutions, just pleasant refinements, there's the usual abundance of activities between progression and the endgame that will delight those who enjoyed the latest expansions.

Marathon takes the Extraction Game philosophy and molds it into the Bungie style. It's not perfect-the UI is awful, and the missions lose their edge over time-but the gameplay loop is fun, and the shooter foundation is solid. And what a style, guys!

An excellent technical overhaul and gameplay update for one of the best horror games of the PlayStation 2 era. *Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake* takes the original title and brings it into the modern era with targeted gameplay enhancements, new storylines, and top-notch audio and video quality-all of which bode well for the future of the series.

While definitely rough around the edges, 1348 Ex Voto is overall a likeable experience, although on the shorter side (five to six hours), thanks especially to Alby Baldwin's performance. And between one fight and the next you get to bask in the Italian countryside, which isn't half bad.

WWE 2K26 is a huge game with modes ranging from two different Story Modes to a management game, a card game, and an online hub. Visual Concepts and 2K have sprinkled a wide variety of new features throughout this edition, some of them quite subtle, tweaking almost everything that needed updating. Of course, there is always room for improvement, and that's what next year's edition is for, but for the next 12 months, it will be difficult to find a better wrestling game than this one.

Pokémon Pokopia is a beautiful game that perfectly embodies the Pokémon soul. Omega Force's Animal Crossing-Minecraft hybrid makes friendship its cornerstone, and between one construction and another, between one friend and another, the world torn apart by selfishness seems to be reborn in the blink of an eye. Pokémon Pokopia is a mature game, probably the most mature in the series. Let's hope Game Freak takes note of this for the mainline series as well.

Metacritic: High on Life 2 tries to be more of a videogame than High on Life ever was - and to be fair, it actually succeeds. The problem is that nobody really asked for that, especially since, when you strip it down, it's still an average shooter that in this second iteration loses much of the meta‑ironic charge that defined the first game

Mewgenics is a turn-based roguelite that blends deep tactical gameplay with unapologetic dark humor. The action order is individual and dynamic, determined by stats and modifiers, while cats have no fixed classes: collars define their role, abilities, and progression, with upgrades chosen from random pools. Each feline can take part in only one run, making breeding and partial skill inheritance central mechanics. A competitive AI, full permadeath, and numerous random events ensure constant variety, balancing strict strategy with genetic unpredictability.

Everything has led to this... Resident Evil Requiem is the game that sums up 30 years of the saga, taking us back to where it all began. It was a huge risk for Capcom, but one that paid off almost flawlessly, delivering a narratively compelling, technically sumptuous title characterized by two gameplay styles that are as different as they are well blended.

It's not the return that longtime fans imagined, but it's a solid and modern experience, capable of entertaining despite a certain repetitiveness over the long term.

Ultimately, Styx: Blades of Greed is the kind of game that plays all of its cards and exhausts its best ideas in the opening hours, only to get bogged down in chronic repetition, dragging itself, unchanged, all the way to the end credits. Its inspired level design and the clever use of the lighting system act as a saving grace, but it's genuinely hard to turn a blind eye to the structural flaws of the enemy AI and a generally underwhelming level of difficulty.

When it was announced, I was a bit perplexed by this DLC, in the sense that I didn't really think it was necessary: Neva's story was self-contained and it worked perfectly well. Playing through it didn't clear my doubts: the scenarios are visually beatiful, but less inspired; the gameplay is alright, althought sometimes frustrating; and the story doesn't really have time to develop into anything. But on the flipside, it's a very cheap DLC and giving Nomada Studio money isn't really a bad thing in my book.
