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.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is, without a doubt, the most ambitious chapter of Capcom's RPG spin-off and marks a significant evolution for the series. While maintaining the classic structure built around exploration, egg gathering, and Monstie training, this installment introduces new mechanics that enrich the formula, making the experience deeper and more strategic.

WWE 2K26 undoubtedly represents the most complete evolution of the formula built over the past few years. Without overturning the foundations of the series, Visual Concepts expands nearly every aspect of the experience: new match types, a more dynamic presentation system, improved physics, and a massive roster all contribute to creating one of the richest entries in the franchise's history. The result is a game that captures the spectacular spirit of WWE wrestling better than ever before, and one that shows extremely promising signs for the years to come.

Crisol: Theater of Idols stands out for its dark, richly symbolic atmosphere, seamlessly blending mysticism with a pervasive sense of unease. Its Iberian folklore–inspired aesthetic gives the world a striking and distinctive visual identity. The combat system, built around blood-driven survival mechanics, intensifies the tension and adds a thoughtful strategic layer. The fragmented storytelling invites curiosity and personal interpretation. Overall, it's a promising title that favors artistic and emotional impact over straightforward action.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered is a debt paid and, in many ways, a success: not a miraculous resurrection, but a restorative treatment that brings a classic back to life and makes it playable again without having to hook up an old console to the TV.

Pokémon Pokopia is a bold experiment that successfully blends multiple genres, resulting in a title with a very strong identity. While the main series has always been fueled by collecting and battling, here collecting remains, but combat gives way to management and reconstruction. There's no pressure. No performance anxiety. There's a world to rebuild patiently, one micro-habitat at a time.

Tales of Berseria Remastered is not a revolution, but a smart reimagining of a recent minor classic. Is it worth buying? Absolutely yes, especially if you haven't had the chance to play it before. And if you've already played it, it could be the perfect opportunity to rediscover Velvet and her story, with a few added conveniences and without the frenzy of modern times. Finally, free from being overshadowed by a year crowded with blockbusters, Berseria can shine as it deserves, and I assure you, it's truly worth it.

Cairn is a surprising title. It's a game that constantly communicates with the player, and it works harder than many others-blockbusters included-to create an incredible sense of connection between player and played. Climbing, its fatigue, its meaning, are portrayed exceptionally well by the team at The Game Bakers and, provided you're willing to compromise with gameplay that refuses any compromise at all, if you choose to be patient, you'll be rewarded with an outstanding, galvanizing, and in many ways unforgettable experience.

God of War: Sons of Sparta isn't a terrible game, but it's not a more than acceptable game either. It simply sits somewhere in the middle. It's a spin-off wedged into a series that is too big, too important, and too imposing to afford any missteps. Even back in the days of Ascension, widely considered the weakest entry in the entire saga, Santa Monica Studio made sure to follow a set of guidelines that would still guarantee an epic experience.

Styx: Blades of Greed isn't a bad game. Within its evident limitations, it has several strengths that could convince many players to give it a chance. However, the game's ambitions clearly clash with an execution that doesn't always live up to its ideas or intended goals, ultimately offering players a watered-down and somewhat messy experience.

Reanimal once again proves, if proof were even necessary, the strong authorial identity of a development studio finally unleashed, free to express itself without softening or diluting its vision. Reanimal is an auteur horror experience: deeply cryptic and not easy to decode, yet a bold and genuinely rare work within its genre.

Mario Tennis Fever hits its main goal by putting the pure arcade tennis experience front and center. Fast-paced, fun, and built on several smart ideas, above all is extremely solid in its core mechanics. While the single-player campaign is less engaging than in the previous entry, and the potential of motion controls is largely left unexplored, these shortcomings do little to overshadow what ultimately stands as the most mature and refined chapter in the Mario Tennis saga.

Yakuza 3 + Dark Ties is much more than a mere commercial venture, as it might seem to the less attentive: it is a bold remake that refreshes a solid but flawed title and resolves nearly all of its issues. While some longtime fans might grumble over the recasting of a couple of characters and a few cuts here and there in the interactions, the vast majority of players will inevitably appreciate the changes in pacing.

RIDE 6 is not a game that tries to impress through spectacle or radical reinvention. It speaks softly, but with confidence and clarity. Milestone chose to reflect on its own legacy and shape a more mature, balanced experience. The result is a game that values freedom, accessibility, and respect for the sport it represents.

Nioh 3 is a game that breathes ambition, a title that dares and isn't afraid to throw the player into chaos. It's frenetic, brilliant in many moments, and incredibly rewarding when you master its complexities. The combat system is deep and layered, and the introduction of Samurai and Ninja styles adds a level of tactical choice never seen before.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is probably the boldest of the three remakes released by Square Enix over the past couple of years: not only because the original title had already received an excellent remaster on 3DS, but also because the changes introduced here are less trivial and arguably more targeted than those the Erdrick trilogy actually required.

Mio: Memories in Orbit is an elegant and rigorous metroidvania that puts all its focus on exploration and precision. Its world is fascinating to traverse, the movement system is solid, and the bosses provide a genuine challenge. The narrative, however, remains in the background, and the combat system lacks meaningful evolution over time, staying consistently minimal. This is a game that asks a lot from the player and doesn't always return an equally strong emotional engagement, but it still manages to leave a mark thanks to its visual identity and the coherence of its design.
