Fairy Tail 2 is a game designed for fans, offering the chance to finally experience the conclusion of Fairy Tail and battle enemies and the Spriggan 12 with favorite characters, but despite some interesting elements like special bosses, collectibles, and iconic locations, it lacks variety in combat and falls short in storytelling, gameplay, and immersion compared to titles like Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm and Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, making it a missed opportunity.

Marvel Rivals boasts immense potential with its roster of 33 distinct characters, but balancing issues, a steep learning curve for newcomers, and its heavy resemblance to games like Overwatch 2 hinder its uniqueness, leaving its success dependent on whether it gains the time and player base to fully realize its Marvel license's possibilities.

Infinity Nikki is a cozy and wholesome game with a beautiful world, enchanting soundtracks, and show-stealing outfits, but its intrusive gacha system constantly pushes players to spend money, dampening an otherwise delightful experience.

ANTONBLAST is a chaotic, nostalgic platformer that captures the spirit of classic 2D games with vibrant visuals, fast-paced gameplay, and humor, though occasional control frustrations and limited moveset variety hold it back slightly.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 delivers exciting innovations and an engaging career mode for aviation fans, but issues like weak localization, clunky AI voice acting, and lengthy loading times make it worth considering a wait for future updates.

Critter Café is charming and smooth with simple controls, but its potential is squandered by repetitive gameplay, limited activities, and simplistic dialogue, leaving the Critters—meant to be the stars—underutilized in a shallow experience.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is an immersive and atmospheric journey through the Zone, delivering gripping exploration and hardcore survival, though its ambition is hindered by technical issues, making it a flawed yet quintessential S.T.A.L.K.E.R. experience.

Farming Simulator 25 introduces interesting improvements like new crops, animals, production lines, and an Asian map, but while the AI is improved and contracts are varied, it still feels quite similar to Farming Simulator 22, with some persistent issues such as clunky menus, a lack of world liveliness, and minor performance problems on consoles.

Sorry We’re Closed is a unique horror shooter that blends arcade action with tactical gameplay, puzzles, and secrets, offering satisfying combat and multiple endings for replayability, though player choices only impact the final outcome rather than the overall story.

Guerrilla and Studio Gobo’s LEGO Horizon Adventures delivers an unexpectedly fantastic combination, blending the world, machines, and gameplay of Horizon Zero Dawn into LEGO with impressive style; the environments look fun and the gameplay is engaging, with a lighthearted story full of puns and dry humor that keeps grinding to a minimum, making achievements enjoyable to pursue—though short and priced at seventy euros, the game’s high level of detail makes it worth the cost, even if the final Expeditions could have offered a bit more.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is an enjoyable JRPG with an engaging story, beautiful world, hidden treasures, deep dungeons, and challenging battles, enhanced by quality-of-life upgrades that make it more accessible; it's a nostalgic treat for fans and a worthy entry for newcomers, showing why the series is beloved—and with Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake completing the trilogy next year, I’ll definitely be back for more.

After a long wait for a VR game to rival Half-Life: Alyx, Metro Awakening by VR powerhouse Vertigo Games initially seemed like a worthy contender, but after eight hours in Moscow’s post-apocalyptic metro tunnels, it’s clear that on the Quest 3, inconsistent graphics, problematic controls, lack of variety, and technical issues hold it back from reaching Alyx's heights, leaving only nostalgia to carry hardcore Metro fans through an experience that struggles to stay compelling over time.

Planet Coaster 2 introduces welcome features like pools, water rides, and improved tools, but falls short in key areas, with interface issues, lackluster management mechanics, limited content, and performance problems that make the game feel incomplete; while there are charming moments for diehard fans, as a full-priced theme park simulation, it ultimately disappoints and feels more like an unfinished Early Access title.

As a Dragon Age fan, you're better off avoiding Dragon Age: The Veilguard—the once-dark fantasy world has been transformed into a Disney-like fairytale with childish, shallow dialogue, limited and inconsequential choices that restrict you to being nice, and a linear storyline that disregards the deep lore, impactful choices, and character-driven narratives the series is known for. Enemy design is laughable, side missions are shallow, puzzles are overly simple, and while the flashy combat is fun, it feels out of place, lacking strategic depth, making it painful to accept that this beloved franchise may meet its end in 2024.

With Chicken Police: Into the HIVE!, The Wild Gentlemen once again masterfully deliver a film-noir detective experience with intriguing animal-headed characters, and while the game is relatively short at five to six hours with limited interrogation opportunities, it’s a must-play—even if you don’t usually go for visual novels—thanks to its fantastic music and superb voice acting that draw you into the story, making it hard to stop until the credits roll.

The remastered Goat Simulator is just as entertaining as the original, and with the years that have passed, it even brought a touch of nostalgia for me; I laughed a lot at the absurdity and the creativity the developers put into it, though I still wonder if it will hold my interest longer this time around, since eventually I had seen enough.
