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.

While soulsbornes enjoy enviable popularity, a number of games have gradually emerged seeking to capture the unique experience of King’s Field. Verho: Curse of Faces is a good example of what we can expect from this growing genre.

The new collection brings some interesting improvements to House Flipper, such as a stronger narrative focus and a world map that offers greater variety in the jobs available, but the underlying problems remain, and Frozen District has failed to deliver what could have been the definitive version of its simulation game.

Halo: Campaign Evolved takes us back to where Master Chief's adventures - and Xbox's own journey - began, with a faithful, confident remake that already leaves us wanting the rest of the trilogy to receive the same treatment.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight celebrates decades of the DC hero’s history with a game that appears ambitious on paper, but ultimately falls into the traps of simplicity, repetition, and a few less entertaining excesses.

As a survival horror game, Hollowbody aims for a more narrative-driven approach, supported by a dystopian and oppressive atmosphere. However, its uninspired environments, unsatisfying combat, and inability to generate meaningful tension ultimately leave it feeling inconsequential.

Its message is a powerful one, and Eugene’s emotional journey will undoubtedly resonate with most players, but the gameplay holds back Opus: Prism Peak’s full potential, allowing repetition to undermine the impact of its narrative.

Aside from some pacing issues and an art direction that hampers visibility during exploration segments, Luna Abyss is an interesting first-person action game.

Despite looking, sounding, and playing like a platformer, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is anything but a traditional entry in the genre. Instead, it places a much stronger emphasis on educational elements, small puzzles, and exploration, making it one of the most interesting titles in the Nintendo Switch 2 catalogue.

With 007 First Light, IO Interactive demonstrates remarkable maturity in its first outing with the franchise, delivering one of the year's best action-adventure games as well as one of the finest portrayals of Bond across any medium.

Although it presents some mechanical issues that could have been addressed with additional polish, Motorslice fills a significant gap in the action-adventure genre with a campaign packed with daring jumps and a range of abilities reminiscent of the golden days of Prince of Persia and Mirror’s Edge.

Mixtape is an unexpected surprise, brief yet emotionally powerful, celebrating adolescence without romanticising it through fantastic vignettes accompanied by an incredible soundtrack.
