S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl remains true to its core philosophy: to create an immersive and unforgiving Zone that feels as alive as it is hostile. Every would-be explorer must endure harsh conditions and relentless challenges, testing their resolve until they either give up or fully embrace the Zone's brutal logic and become a part of it. This experience closely mirrors the spirit of the original trilogy, making S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 feel authentic to its roots. However, some of its hardcore and overly rigid systems may prove too alienating for a broader audience, potentially limiting its appeal.

As a roguelike tactics game, Metal Slug Tactics delivers a solid overall experience, capturing much of what fans loved about the original series while introducing a fresh framework. However, a lack of player guidance, some awkward UI choices hold it back from reaching its full potential, leaving the experience feeling less polished than it could be.

If you're new to the beloved Dragon Quest series, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake could be the perfect introduction. Staying true to the original gameplay and combat system, this remake adds a few new touches, each of which is thoughtful and commendable. However, the core of the game remains rooted in its 30-year-old origins. Whether that feels 'a little too dated' depends entirely on your point of view.

LEGO Horizon Adventure has room for improvement, but as a fan or casual title it holds up well enough. It's fun and accessible, but with a fairly limited appeal - those outside its target audience may find less to keep them engaged.

Slitterhead is a unique blend of horror, action-adventure and time-loop mechanics, showcasing some intriguing concepts. However, it struggles to fully realise its potential due to various limitations. The creativity is commendable, but the execution is poor.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure impresses with its stunning visuals and exceptional soundtrack, featuring detailed environments and rich expressions that significantly enhance immersion. The game excels in world-building, suspense, and narrative pacing, offering an engaging and unpredictable experience. However, the early segments struggle with their connection to the original, and the emotional arcs feel somewhat underdeveloped, lacking the depth seen in the first installment's character relationships.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is undoubtedly a competent ARPG, with some commendable elements in its combat and exploration. However, it's disappointing that, aside from the impressive art design and nostalgic appearances of certain characters from previous entries, it feels like BioWare has strayed from the series' original essence. The familiarity is there, but it lacks the deeper connection that longtime fans might have hoped for.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake captures the essence of its predecessor but ultimately feels hollow. While it incorporates mechanics from other entries in the series and introduces new systems like relationships and historical narratives, these elements are overly simplified, seemingly catering to new players. As a result, the game loses much of its depth and enjoyment, leaving longtime fans wanting more from this classic.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 may lack the innovative gameplay and changeable pace that the Modern Warfare series is known for, but in an era where developers big and small chase novelty and change, it stands out for its commitment to stability and tradition. Ultimately, it delivers a solid entry in the Call of Duty franchise that fans will appreciate.

To review Sonic x Shadow Generations, you have to look at it in two parts. Sonic Generations feels a little dated, with an outdated design and rough visuals that drag down the collection as a whole. However, Shadow Generations makes up for this with modern tweaks that cater to today's gamers, leaving the collection in a passable and moderately satisfying state.

Neva certainly offers a touching emotional experience, though it may fall short of the standard set by Gris. However, if you're an animal lover, you might find even greater emotional value in this game. The white wolf companion is incredibly lifelike, and the process of nurturing it leaves a deep and lasting impression.

Just Dance 2025 delivers a fresh dancing experience with plenty of trending hits from today's streaming charts. However, the rest of the game feels like more of the same - a predictable outcome for a series that has fully embraced the Games as a Service.

I fully support Konami's decision to entrust Bloober Team with the development of the Silent Hill 2 remake. Using the latest technology, they have faithfully recreated the haunting, fog-shrouded story, allowing both new and long-time players to experience and re-evaluate this masterpiece from over two decades ago through a modern lens.

Building upon the concepts of Persona and Shin Megami Tensei, and refining them further, Metaphor: ReFantazio delivers a highly satisfying experience. In terms of story, it offers excellent character development, while its gameplay system introduces a wide range of class combinations, adding depth to the mechanics. That said, the overall story quality of Metaphor is not particularly groundbreaking, and it feels more like a refined take on traditional dungeon-crawling RPGs rather than an innovative or revolutionary creation.

EA Sports FC 25 has stumbled through another year in a lackluster fashion. If last year's conservative approach could be attributed to the series' rebranding, this year's lack of ambition is inexcusable. Moreover, the widespread controller bugs and various other issues at launch make it hard not to question EA's commitment to the franchise.

Enotria:The Last Song is not without creativity or design potential. However, for an inexperienced development team, creating such a large-scale Souls-like game may have been overly ambitious. Poor balance, a wildly inconsistent difficulty curve, and the overwhelmingly negative combat experience overshadow the game's more impressive features, such as elemental statuses, skill build slots, and gear-switching mechanics.

If Frostpunk 2 continues to provide players with more playable content in the future, like its predecessor, then it will definitely be a better title than it is now.

The Plucky Squire might be the most imaginative indie game you'll play this year. What if a character could step out of their storybook and change their world? The game answers this question through a delightful journey. Although the story and combat feel somewhat simplistic and don't fully live up to the creative premise, the overall experience remains enjoyable.

After five years of refinement, the official release of Satisfactory has earned its place among the best in its genre. It boasts the most impressive visuals for this type of game, and its well-designed milestone system provides players with a steady stream of goals and motivation. The deep, meticulous mechanics constantly push me to optimize the chaotic factories I've painstakingly built.
