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.

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.

Despite being the studio’s debut, Date Everything! nails what makes a visual novel dating sim work—memorable characters brought to life by stellar voice acting, clever design tied to each character’s object identity, layers of wordplay and humor, and engaging progression through limited daily interactions, quests, and text-based minigames, with the only downsides being a lack of new dialogue after reaching an ending and some minor bugs.

I’m rarely impressed by the overused “choices matter” tagline, but The Alters by 11 bit studios shows how it should truly be done—offering not just resource management, but deep existential dilemmas that force players to weigh mission against morality, making it a thought-provoking yet demanding experience best suited for those unafraid to fail and eager to explore both strategy and themself.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is essentially a paid interactive manual with a few tech demos and minigames that, while mildly informative, feels more like a missed opportunity—especially given its €10 price tag and limited appeal beyond hardware enthusiasts or those with nothing else to play.
