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.

Once Upon A KATAMARI is a visually and audio-visually excellent experience, but unfortunately the gameplay lacks traction and suffers from a number of issues. On the other hand, the $40 price tag for such a game is insane, which makes it hard to recommend it.

Bye Sweet Carole is a good reminder of why indie developers have a special place in the horror genre. We are faced with a game that brings a different experience of fear thanks to its own unique presentation. Relying on the artistic approach of classic animations, utilizing attractive fantasy horror elements and creating creative puzzles, this work has definitely made it memorable and distinctive. Of course, we are not necessarily facing a perfect game; there are various potentials in the gameplay that have not been used, and also some story dimensions are sometimes confusing or redundant. Nevertheless, Bye Sweet Carole is a risky and very respectable experience in the horror genre that is especially recommended to fans of titles like Clock Tower.

Battlefield 6 is here to offer a complete, but cautious, experience. Unlike the previous game, this time we have a full story section, which of course cannot shine due to the slogan-driven approach and very linear and old-fashioned gameplay. But the multiplayer section, fortunately, is worthy of the Battlefield name and can offer the audience the expected and usual excitement and tension, but without any special innovations.

Absolum is not worth playing overall, due to its many problems that may not be fixed even with serious updates. However, since it can be played as a two-player game, it might be worth looking at as a casual and entertaining game and spending a few hours on it.

Blood of Mehran unfortunately lacks its own independent identity. The game wanders between an Eastern epic narrative and an imitation of Western formulas, and ultimately does neither well. There is no fresh approach to the game's story, no gameplay, and no cohesive visuals. The result is a game that could have been distinctive and respectable, but remains only a shadow of its potential.

Little Nightmares III, while retaining the series' haunting atmosphere, eye-catching art design, and suffocating atmosphere, remains a rehash of familiar and conservative formulas. The game succeeds in conveying a sense of fear, insecurity, and emptiness visually and audibly, but it fails to make a big step forward in terms of level design, mechanical innovation, and creative use of the two main characters and their gadgets. The unstable AI of some enemies, the overly linear structure of the levels, and the superficial use of puzzles have made the game experience feel repetitive and dull in parts. However, the impressive visuals, professional voice acting, and a few brilliant sequences in terms of tension and environmental narrative make Little Nightmares III still a worthwhile game for long-time fans of the franchise — even if it can no longer replicate the same sense of freshness and shock of previous versions.

Instead of building upon the true legacy of Ghost of Tsushima and addressing its fundamental flaws, Ghost of Yotei settles for its modest inheritance, doing little beyond polishing and beautifying what already existed. The world is more detailed and visually stunning, the combat animations are smoother, and the addition of new weapons brings some visual variety to battles. Yet, the core foundations remain at the same level of brilliance — and limitation — as the previous game. The open-world structure feels outdated, freedom of choice is virtually absent across all aspects of the experience, and the story lacks the authenticity that once defined its predecessor. Ghost of Yotei ultimately raises the question of what Sucker Punch has been doing over the past five years — and whether the studio still harbors any real ambition for its own formula.
