Infinity Ward brings Call of Duty back on track with a spectacular campaign, refined multiplayer, and a deeper, more rewarding DMZ experience. Despite some narrative shortcomings, uneven AI, and occasional repetition, Modern Warfare IV delivers one of the most enjoyable and complete entries in the series in recent years.

Order of the Sinking Star is a colossal puzzle game that blends four gameplay systems: crates to push or pull, teleporting mirrors, stones that bounce on water, and gems with special powers. Over a thousand puzzles, intelligently balanced progression, and the fusion of these mechanics deliver memorable moments of insight and immense satisfaction. On the downside, the lack of hints can turn some levels into insurmountable obstacles, while the story, though well-voiced, remains in the background. A paradise for puzzle lovers, a nightmare for those with little patience.

Mycopunk blends co-op shooting, unbridled mobility, and surprisingly deep customization, along with several brilliant ideas. While there is a bit too much repetition, the progression can occasionally feel slow, and the visual clarity isn't always perfect, it's a great package for the price if you're a fan of co-op shooters.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort proves that the legacy of the celebrated Wii series is in safe hands. Some sports offer fun, depth, and reasons to keep improving-while also feeling intuitive to play using the Joy-Con controllers-though it's a pity that others are less inspired.

Valheim's incredible sense of atmosphere, scale, and the sheer epicity of every adventure that you choose to undertake, are certainly its strongest assets. It is a shame, however, that despite almost six years in Early Access the game still lacks various quality of life features that would improve the experience – such as, for example, a cleaner crafting interface – and that it feels like the best parts of the game are still those that Early Access launched with, so many years ago.

Similarly to its predecessor, Boltgun 2 is a solid old-style shooter that is consistently good, but never excellent.

It is a fantastic blend of *Burnout* and *F-Zero*, enhanced by roguelite elements that are not only unobtrusive but actually raise the fun factor to another level.

The Kingdom Hearts Collection I–III gathers nearly the entire "Seekers of Darkness" saga and serves as an excellent entry point for those who have never followed Sora and his companions. Conversely, those who have already completed the journey on last-gen consoles are unlikely to find reasons to experience it all over again.

The atmosphere and characters spawned by Clive Barker's imagination are beautifully rendered, and the game has no qualms about showing extreme events uncensored.

The Coalition modernizes movement and cover mechanics without sacrificing the series' hallmarks-such as its sense of weight and brutality-delivering a spectacular campaign, a Versus mode that intelligently revives old-school multiplayer, and Horde Siege, an ambitious and compelling evolution of the classic Horde mode. Add a top-tier technical presentation to the mix, and the score speaks for itself.

Today, the structure seems repetitive, the rhythm mechanical, and the difficulty less calibrated than nostalgia would have us remember .

It's The Witcher 3, complete with its two excellent DLCs: Blood and Wine, stronger in terms of sheer content, and Hearts of Stone, stronger on an artistic level. The remastering work is precise, aside from a few minor stumbles, mostly involving the menus. It's genuinely hard to pass up, especially considering we'll need to be ready for Songs of the Past.

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve knows exactly what it wants to be and doesn't waste time chasing a realism that isn't its forte.

You get in for the combat, but you stay for the feelings. The story is super rich with moments of pure emotion, and the new weird features of the Remedy-verse are something special.
