Dune: Awakening offers a beautifully crafted world, solid survival mechanics, and flexible roleplaying, but uneven combat, repetitive quests, and a lonely, empty-feeling MMO experience mean it's best suited for those willing to overlook its flaws in exchange for immersive hours on Arrakis.

Shuffle Tactics shows a lot of promise with its cool style, solid combat, and flexible playstyles, but unfinished elements like broken buttons and poor controller support make it feel more like an early test build than a polished release.

RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business is a stand-alone title where Teyon addresses past criticisms but still earns a ticket for its compromises. The focus shifts to intense police brutality in a faster-paced FPS, with quicker access to action and tougher foes. However, limited freedom and lingering technical flaws make the world feel less immersive—though bursts of action still showcase Teyon at its best.

The Drifter is a perfect example of a game that just clicks (pun fully intended). Powerhoof breathes new life into the once-dead genre, mixing Carpenter/King-style storytelling, dark synth vibes, and top-tier voice acting to create a point & click experience that goes down like a smooth cuppa tea. If you're after a retro-style adventure packed with challenge and clever trial-and-error design, The Drifter is well worth your time.

EA Sports College Football 26 is a strong successor to its entertaining predecessor, packed with atmosphere, stadiums, teams, and modes for every type of player—though Road to Glory feels a bit flat and Ultimate Team leans heavily into monetization, the gameplay is solid, the performance smooth, and for college football fans, it’s a no-brainer.

The Sims 4: Betoverende Natuur delivers enchanting occult gameplay and stunning fairies, but its nature theme feels half-baked; great for fantasy fans, less so for players seeking a true nature experience.

Ruffy and the Riverside is a well-intentioned debut 3D platformer whose charm and inventive ideas shine on the surface, but a lackluster narrative, uneven visuals, underused mechanics, and technical roughness reveal it’s still very much a work in progress.

TRON: Catalyst brings the Arq Grid vividly to life with an engaging story, convincing characters, and standout voice acting, but despite these strengths, it feels underutilized—offering little beyond the main plot, fading combat depth, and a visually dark world, ultimately making it a game that fans can enjoy but that falls just short of realizing its full potential.

Sloclap’s Rematch kicks off with exotic flair and gripping gameplay that brilliantly balances tactical depth and arcade action for hours of fun, but while it scores high on innovation and replayability, flaws in matchmaking, sparse battle pass content, and chaotic random teammates blow the whistle on what could’ve been a Ballon d'Or-worthy football game—though with a few solid seasons, it might still become the undisputed champion of the genre.

FBC: Firebreak proudly stands among the better co-op shooters out there—with slick visuals, wild weapon choices, and deep sandbox action, it hits hard despite some weak AI and a modest amount of launch content.

MindsEye is the embodiment of wasted potential—a game burdened by an identity crisis, plagued by poor launch performance, and set in a world that promises depth but delivers nothing, leaving even the most hopeful players disheartened, as no amount of patches can fix its shallow missions, monotonous gameplay, linear design, and uninspired story.
