Despite all its shortcomings and problems in narrative, visuals, and level design, Skate Story ultimately manages to draw the audience into its world and take them into the depths of the philosophy of absurdism from about the middle of the experience. If you love profound works that have something to say, go for this title without delay and be patient with the problems and inconsistencies of its first half.

Octopath Traveler 0 delivers a rich and deep experience while maintaining the series' identity. Tactical eight-player team combat, Job Switching, Latent Powers, and Path Actions systems allow for strategic and creative planning. The HD-2D visual design with dynamic lighting, diverse environments, and eye-catching visual effects creates an experience that is both nostalgic and modern at the same time. A soundtrack that fits the areas and battles, along with accurate voice acting for the characters and environments, enhances the sense of life in the game world. However, the systems are too complex for novice players, and some repetitive elements in the second half of the game can make the experience overwhelming for some gamers.

Metroid Prime 4 will be a fun experience for die-hard fans of the series, as the core gameplay of Metroid remains solid. It's not a "bad" game; it's just a wasted opportunity due to poor technical execution and greedy business decisions.

ROUTINE is a very different and unique game. If you are somewhat fond of atmospheric games where the level design and gameplay are extremely simple, artificial, and rhythmic, this title can become one of the best and most exceptional experiences for you.

Sleep Awake has a unique idea and world-building full of potential, but in execution it only partially realizes this potential. On the one hand, the eye-catching artistic graphics, melancholic atmosphere and sound design in harmony with the game's theme provide an impressive experience; on the other hand, the shallow characterization, the inability to delve into the depth of concepts, the lack of innovation in the gameplay and the strange decision to lock the frame rate at 30, prevent the game from reaching its full potential.

In Total Chaos, we are faced with a captivating story, fascinating world-building, engaging gameplay, and excellent atmosphere. The game's construction system has an exemplary depth that will become your only companion and sympathizer in the isolated world of this work, and the sound design is also a great complement to the horror elements

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 attempts to reclaim the series' lost ground by returning to its storytelling roots, introducing an expansive zombies campaign, and blending classic multiplayer elements with modern systems, but the end result is a strange mix of strengths and, unfortunately, significant weaknesses. The game learns from some of its past mistakes, but issues like unbalanced map design, a cluttered user interface, and some technical instabilities keep Black Ops 7 from reaching the level of the franchise's best.

Anno 117: Pax Romana is Ubisoft's most ambitious attempt to transition the Anno series into an incredibly rich historical period, one that has the potential to produce a complex and multi-layered experience, both culturally and economically. The game succeeds in many ways: the geographical diversity, the design of production chains, the new social structure, the striking difference between Latium and Albion, and the use of cultural layers make 117 one of the most mature entries in the series in terms of gameplay depth.

GODBREAKERS is an action experience in the roguelike style that combines fast-paced combat, an engaging progression system, and a unique visual world, immersing the player in a cycle of challenge, defeat, and victory. The design of diverse bosses and enemies, the ability to customize builds through the Godbreak system, and the harmonious rhythm of music and sound effects create an immersive and exciting experience.

Dispatch isn’t memorable for its plot twists or a perfectly structured narrative — it’s the quiet, fleeting moments that truly define it. When Robert brings that extra drink to win over the club’s guard, or when Invisigal’s jealous gaze cuts through the smoke and music, the game captures something raw and human. AdHoc’s artistic direction is nothing short of stunning, hinting at a studio capable of greatness. But before it reaches that height, it needs to find a story and gameplay that live up to its visual ambition.

DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake is a sequel to one of the best remakes of the last few years, this time presented to fans in a more valuable package. The first and second versions of the Dragon Quest series are now presented with the excellent artistic approach of the third remake, and along with it, they host QOLs, improvements and even some new content, while still maintaining their classic and hardcore nature. However, unfortunately, some of the problems of the previous remake have been inherited by this work, which can still spoil the experience. It can be said that DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake celebrates the return of two classic and basic works of the genre, but despite some improvements, it is still aimed more at old fans than anything else, and if you are one of them, you should not miss it.

Frostpunk 2, like its predecessor, has managed to offer a different and difficult experience in the city-building genre with the element of "survival". However, the complexity of the gameplay mechanisms can be mind-boggling. Especially since every decision you make here may somehow change the path of progress and the fate of your city.

Spindle is not only a great indie game, but also a successful example of careful and intelligent design in the Zelda-like style. If you're looking for an experience that's fun, challenging, beautiful, and cohesive, Spindle is a must-have. The game's various components, from combat and puzzles to exploration and narrative, combine to create a satisfying experience. It's the kind of experience that will leave you not only feeling accomplished after finishing the game, but eager to return to the world of Spindle again and again.

Despite is issues, like inappropriate pricing, Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted is worth your time and experience for several reasons, such as offering a fun and rhythmic gameplay, beautiful and eye-catching visuals, and a very lovely atmosphere, especially if you haven't tried it before.

The Outer Worlds 2 is for those who love story-driven RPGs, complete freedom to choose your path, and interact with dynamic NPCs, and enjoy character creation and skill selection to build a build. Fans of Obsidian's previous games will experience the familiar sense of dark humor and social commentary, but if you're just looking for fast-paced, action-packed gameplay or get tired of complex paths and long dialogue, this game may not be for you. It's for people who value depth, freedom, and real impact on the world.

Painkiller has artistic visuals and decent gameplay, but unfortunately in many aspects it doesn't make sense and doesn't achieve its goal. The game showcases co-op elements and seems to be proud of them, but ultimately doesn't use them intelligently. On the other hand, the levels, although standard, feel outdated and can't compete with even older titles in the genre. The result is a game that, despite its great potential, falls short of its goals.

Ninja Gaiden 4 is a glorious return to one of the most distinctive Hack & Slash franchises, preserving the spirit of the series and taking it a step forward in a modern direction. We are faced with a vibrant, deep and crazy game that offers one of the best combat systems in history. The high depth of the systems and the new features added thanks to the character Yakumo have opened new doors to combining attacks and combos. Thanks to the harmony and coordination of the different combat systems and the various dimensions of the work, the experience of this title is like a bloody dance. In the meantime, the narrative, characters and design of the game environment do not appeal to the heart and sometimes appear superficial. However, the flawless gameplay of this work is so powerful that I suggest you do not miss the experience at all.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is a poetic, dark, philosophical, and engaging experience, with bold failed ideas and unfortunately obvious technical weaknesses. If you enter this world with patience and an eager mind, amidst the snow and neon lights, you will encounter a narrative that will stay in your mind for a long time.

Tormented Souls 2 is a game that doesn't reinvent the formula, but rather improves on the existing roadmap. It's everything you'd expect from a survival horror experience; from the deep, layered exploration and creative puzzle-solving to the immersive atmosphere and natural horror, all working together like a machine in harmony.

Keeper isn't for everyone. If you're looking for fast-paced, varied gameplay, and overt emotional highs, you probably won't connect with the game's silence and slowness. But for those who enjoy minimalist, contemplative, and philosophical experiences, Keeper is a quiet, introspective journey. An honest, sorrowful, and somewhat unfinished game that, despite its flaws, is worth experiencing.
