Star Wars Galactic Racer has everything it needs to make us shout ‘Now this is Podracing,’ but it manages to be even more than that, establishing itself as one of the best, most complete and most entertaining racing games in recent years.

Gears of War E-Day may have the best gameplay the series has ever delivered, but between bullet-sponge enemies, co-op-focused design and a story with little to say, this may well be the weakest Gears campaign to date.

Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition delivers on the promise of a definitive version, offering more story, more ways to explore its excellent combat system, and more reasons to pick up the controller again.

TOEM 2 is a very safe sequel, almost more TOEM 1.5 than a true sequel, never expanding beyond the original enough to give players something genuinely new.

Orbitals is a charming cooperative adventure and an excellent example of what a strong art direction can bring to a game, even if repetition and some of its objectives hurt the overall pacing.

Control Resonant is bigger and better than its predecessor, shedding much of the original’s clutter in favor of a clearer vision, renewed art direction, greater ambition and a remarkable ability to celebrate art both within and beyond video games.

Moonlighter 2: Endless Vault is a solid game with good foundations, but its ambition leaves it struggling to recapture what made the original so special.

Angeline Era makes the most of every one of its pieces to deliver a fun and engaging experience from beginning to end, resulting in an original and memorable game.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is an incredible, imperfect game. When it’s good, it’s excellent, and I ended up having a fantastic experience with a series that, until a week ago, meant absolutely nothing to me.

In Marvel’s Wolverine, Logan returns to video games in the hands of Insomniac Games with another exciting original story that, while not reaching the heights of some of the studio’s other games, delivers a fantastic take on the Marvel hero and a highly enjoyable combat system.

It’s hard to believe Devolver Digital decided to invest in a project as mediocre, predictable, and hollow as Serious Sam: Shatterverse, which forces a classic series into something it simply isn’t: a co-op roguelike with sluggish progression, uneven difficulty, and uninspired gameplay that gives us very little reason to return to this half-baked multiverse.

In Sprawl Zero, MAETH returns to the FPS genre with a tribute to the past, packed with frantic action, satisfying abilities, and a level of difficulty that demands constant movement through environments that could have been more creative in their design.

Gothic Remake keeps the soul of the original intact, to the point where it doesn't care whether the player can keep up or not. This is a classic RPG with modern graphics, ready to punish us for the smallest mistake and perfectly happy to watch us fail. And that's exactly how it should be.

Despite its aesthetic and occasional mechanical similarities to 2K Games' series, Twisted Tower stands out with its action-focused gameplay and a welcome emphasis on a linear structure packed with surprises that keep the player hooked until the end.

WONDERBOY BOBI makes some bold choices in this unlikely sequel to Aggelos, with two worlds to explore and the ability to switch between angelic and demonic powers. However, weak level design and confusing exploration hold back the player's curiosity, making Aggelos II a metroidvania that takes two steps forward and one step back.

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North had everything needed to be a good side story to Peter Jackson’s trilogy, with a little-explored corner of Middle-earth, a proven team, and a license capable of selling almost anything. If they failed to make the most of that opportunity in 2011, Aspyr has done no better in 2026.

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls has everything it takes to become one of the best fighting games of recent years, capable of filling the void left by Dragon Ball FighterZ and, more importantly, Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

If you haven’t played Blue Reflection yet, this collection is a perfect starting point. It brings four games together in a single package, covering the entire series, from the original game released in 2017 to the most recent sequel, which arrived on consoles in 2021. However, Blue Reflection Quartet offers little new for fans and is not an essential collection.

Splatoon Raiders is the first major spin-off in the series and focuses on a more single-player-oriented experience, with enjoyable combat and some good ideas, but struggles to hide its multiplayer foundations.

As expansive as its environments may be, as accessible as its narrative is, and as much as it draws on the popularity of genres such as soulslikes, Echoes of Aincrad is a collection of ideas that never rises above familiar territory, with not a hint of imagination. It can be enjoyable at times, but is also extremely limited when it should have been a breath of fresh air for fans of the series.
