Star Overdrive has a strong foundation with its stylish hoverboard exploration and interesting combat options via the Keytar, but fails to fully realize this potential. The world feels empty, the main character lacks personality and many of the creative ideas are limited.

Sony San Diego may not have made the most groundbreaking improvements with MLB The Show 25, but they have once again delivered a solid sports game that, thanks to its presentation, soundtrack, diverse game modes, fluid gameplay, and more, could very well be the best sports game on the market—an absolute must-play for baseball fans.

KARMA: The Dark World is a narrative-driven dystopian game where The Leviathan Corporation’s influence is pervasive; gameplay revolves around exploration, puzzles, and uncovering lore, but limited hints can lead to frustration, making it best suited for fans of psychological horror and story-driven experiences rather than action-seekers.

Rebellion crafts an engaging survival game with Atomfall, though technical issues, weak enemy AI, and clunky melee combat detract from the experience. Freedom takes center stage, pushing players to explore and carve their own path. While not without its flaws, the atmospheric world and satisfying gunplay make it worth the journey.

AI Limit has interesting mechanics and cool enemy designs but suffers from an unengaging story, unfair difficulty, cheap level design, and technical issues, making it worth a try only at a discount for hardcore Soulslike fans.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is a great step forward for the series, with an intriguing story, varied characters, and a well-executed - eventhough a little repetitive - medieval Japan setting, making it a must-have for Assassin's Creed fans and open-world adventure lovers.

Wanderstop is a unique, thought-provoking game that explores themes of burnout, change, and anxiety, with slow, deliberate gameplay that reinforces its message, though the protagonist’s plastic-like appearance and clunky keyboard controls detract slightly from the experience, making it best played with a controller in a calm state of mind.

Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars is a fantastic remaster that faithfully preserves the originals while enhancing visuals and gameplay, with engaging if unremarkable stories, enjoyable turn-based battles, and helpful QoL upgrades—though the auto-save is poorly tuned—making it a nostalgic yet refined way to revisit these classics.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land offers a fresh take with a non-traditional protagonist and expanded gameplay, including a larger world, new mechanics, and dynamic combat, but underutilizes its setting, while technical issues on Switch are offset by stunning art and excellent voice acting, making it a fun yet slightly shallow addition to the Atelier series.
