Star Fox is exactly the comeback I was hoping to have in my hands. Nintendo didn't try to turn the series into something it was never meant to be. Instead, it chose to celebrate its identity, enriching it with modern production values, a more ambitious narrative, and top-tier audiovisual presentation.

Stonemachia is one of those games that manages to win you over more with its personality than with its technical execution. The Italian setting reimagined in a gothic key, the chess piece transformation system, and a top-tier soundtrack build a strong and recognisable identity.

Gothic Remake is not a game to be dismissed outright, and it manages to earn a narrow passing grade mainly thanks to what already worked twenty-five years ago: the constant sense of discovery, the satisfaction of overcoming seemingly impossible challenges, and the feeling of genuinely shaping the fate of the game world through your own choices.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is proof that Team Asano can move with surprising confidence even outside its comfort zone. Exploration is excellent, the game world constantly inspires a sense of wonder, and the system built around different time periods adds depth to every discovery.

EA Sports UFC 6 is the best entry in the series to date. After a three-year wait, the franchise returns with meaningful gameplay improvements that make every fight feel more intense, realistic and rewarding, while preserving the solid foundations of its predecessor. The result is a content-rich and highly polished MMA experience that will keep both dedicated fans and newcomers engaged for countless matches.

Mina the Hollower is an action RPG that takes the best of Zelda, Castlevania and the Soulslike genre without ever feeling like a copy. Yacht Club Games builds a dense, challenging, incredibly smart and personality-driven adventure, capable of turning every screen into a continuous discovery.

IOI has crafted an excellent action-adventure game, with a strong focus on stealth gameplay, serving as the perfect launching pad for a rebirth of the 007 franchise in video game form. First Light works, there's no doubt about that. The story is compelling, Bond's new characterization fits perfectly with modern audiences (even if many longtime fans will probably dislike it), and the universe created by Ian Fleming has been treated with the respect it deserves, paying homage to it without ever feeling excessive while modernizing it where necessary.

Forza Horizon 6 isn't just the dream come true for every racing enthusiast who's dreamed of racing around Japan; it's the ultimate arcade racing experience.

Mixtape knows what it wants to be and succeeds with enough frequency to make it recommendable. Beethoven & Dinosaur constructs a small but sincere work, where the music doesn't accompany the story but generates it. The character development is honest, the visual design is coherent and successful, and the '90s vibe never slips into the wax museum of cheap nostalgia.

Invincible VS is a fighting game that works immediately, thanks to an accessible system and a strong identity inherited from the series, but it struggles to find a real direction in the medium term.

Saros is a game that knows what it wants to be from the first second, and it shows in every design choice: the Eclipse system, the permanent progression, the shorter runs, the shield that turns threats into resources.

Tomodachi Life: A Dream Life is a very difficult experience to judge by traditional standards. It's not a simulator in the traditional sense, nor a structured management game: it's rather a laboratory of absurd situations, built around the player's creativity. When it works (and it often does), it manages to elicit genuine laughter thanks to intelligent writing and a brilliant use of nonsense.

Darwin's Paradox! is an interesting and entertaining experiment that definitely deserves a second installment, provided it delivers not only the idea but also enough (and substantial) variety to sustain it.

A title that may repel many, but that amply rewards those who stick around. And it's precisely this take-no-prisoners attitude that makes it so special, just like all those productions made with heart rather than obsessed with pleasing everyone.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is a solid and surprisingly timely collection, focusing entirely on gameplay that's still compelling today. It doesn't offer much extra content and doesn't really try to modernize the formula, but it perfectly preserves what made the trilogy special.

It's certainly a successful experiment, but the speed with which all the content is consumed makes this update very difficult to recommend to all players.

Crimson Desert is the kind of game that makes you want to use the word "impressive" every three minutes—and then makes you feel guilty for doing so.

1348 Ex Voto isn't a total disaster, because at several points it manages to show flashes of personality and a world that would have deserved to be explored with more solid tools. However, it's hard to ignore the feeling that the project needed more time, more resources, and above all a more focused vision.

In a world of shooters that take themselves far too seriously, John Carpenter's Toxic Commando is that punch of slime in the face that makes you laugh while you're drowning in it: a co-op game that lives for nights spent with friends. It's Left 4 Dead wearing B-movie makeup, with vehicles mowing down zombies like grass and a soundtrack that takes you straight back to the VHS of The Thing.
