Ritual of Raven is a life sim that stands out with its story-driven focus and well-developed characters, offering a familiar yet engaging gameplay loop enhanced by unique mechanics like card-based machine programming and moon phase–sensitive plant care, all within a detailed 2D pixel world—though minor issues like an out-of-place alien, pricey decorations, and static museum items slightly detract from an otherwise memorable narrative experience.

Tales of the Shire lets you unwind in the peaceful life of a Hobbit, offering cozy activities like fishing, farming, and elaborate cooking with rewarding progression, though its shallow quests, lack of deeper interactions, missing festive elements, and technical shortcomings hold it back from being the idyllic Shire experience it could have been.

Heartworm is a game with a clear vision and strong aesthetic—its atmosphere, puzzles, and audio stand out and will appeal to fans of classic survival horror—but its ambition falls short due to unpolished mechanics, shallow storytelling, and lacking gameplay precision, making it more of a brief, atmospheric experience than a fully convincing modern classic.

Dead Take has the potential to be a strong psychological horror puzzler, but its scattered direction, lack of suspense, and unclear narrative thread hold it back from standing out in a crowded genre - despite solid acting and a haunting setting that could have delivered so much more.

Ready or Not delivers a brilliantly tense and tactical shooter experience—flawed by technical issues but elevated by its hardcore design, intense atmosphere, and the sheer fun of playing with friends.

Wildgate is a complex game to recommend. Its deep, well-integrated systems offer a unique multiplayer experience, but its steep learning curve, lack of matchmaking balance, and aggressive monetization make it a tough sell unless you're fully invested in its design.

Dotemu and The Game Kitchen deliver a solid homage to the roots of classic action-platformers with Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound - sharp as ever in gameplay, nostalgic to the core, but lacking the surprise and staying power to truly stand out in this triumphant year of the ninja.

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.

Super Mario Party Jamboree TV offers no revolutions but delivers a solid improvement over the base game, with its game show vibe, fun new minigames, and Coaster mode sure to bring smiles—though the reliance on a camera and the lack of updates to the core game may leave some players wanting more.

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.

Despite some entertaining and brutal core gameplay, Killing Floor 3 is a thematically inconsistent and visually underwhelming shooter with generic design, repetitive missions, performance issues, and an intrusive in-game shop - an unfinished product, and one that Tripwire Interactive may need several more years to truly bring up to standard. The core is here, it just needs a lot of work.

Don’t ask me how, but Mike Klubnika once again commands attention with s.p.l.i.t., an idiosyncratic terminal hacking game aimed at old-school tech romantics with a taste for the grim and uncanny, delivering an uncomfortably intense half-hour experience that—despite its brief runtime—gets under your skin fast, provided you remember to brush up on your command-line skills before facing that so-called 'unethical superstructure'... or else, well, you know the drill.

For true soulslike fans, WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is a strong recommendation — even a must-play. It might not be the absolute best soulslike out there, but developer Leenzee has delivered a very solid game on many fronts. What really stands out is the well-balanced mix between exploration and intense combat. Add to that the varied environments, plenty of mechanics to tinker with, and smooth-feeling fights, and you've got a compelling package. Where things do fall short, however, is the game’s performance — even on the PlayStation 5 Pro, it struggled to run smoothly. But if you can look past that, WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is definitely worth your time.

No Sleep For Kaname Date is a mildly entertaining yet ultimately non-essential entry in the Somnium Files series, offering familiar charm and light puzzle variety without the narrative weight or challenge to satisfy those seeking a full-fledged sequel.

My Friendly Neighborhood, a twisted love letter to classic survival horror inspired by Resident Evil, blends clever storytelling, brilliant level design, and sharp puzzles with slightly stiff combat and loads of silly cheats and bonus modes—making it a great horror game that even Oscar the Grouch couldn’t grumble about.

Luto joins the ranks of divisive, artistically ambitious games—echoing the style of Hideo Kojima—with its metaphor-laden, psychological journey that, despite some visual flaws, lingers deeply and emotionally long after its surreal tale of isolation and acceptance ends.

Hunter × Hunter: Nen × Impact shows glimmers of potential with its unique character mechanics, but its shallow content, small roster, and brief story mode leave it far behind genre heavyweights - making it a modest pick for diehard fans, but a hard pass for fighting game enthusiasts.

Donkey Kong Bananza marks a strong 3D comeback for the iconic ape, offering a must-buy adventure on the Nintendo Switch 2 that keeps surprising with fresh content and post-game activities, despite minor flaws like framedrops and unbalanced power-ups.

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.
