Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy successfully fulfills the mission of expanding the franchise's universe without feeling like an expendable chapter. By swapping the Rune siblings for Sophia, Asobo Studio takes a risk with a new protagonist and a more overt approach to combat, yet retains what has always defined the series: a rich narrative, well-crafted characters, and impeccable art direction.

Despite its flaws, Lord of the Rings: War in the North – Legacy Edition is a good action RPG. Its story is solid and the gameplay is enjoyable, although it becomes a bit repetitive over time. In short, it lacked a bit more boldness to be a good choice beyond fans of the franchise and its own genre.

Ultimately, Agefield High: Rock the School falls far short of being the spiritual successor that Bully fans have been hoping for. Refugium Games manages to create a charming setting that pays tribute to classic 2000s teen movies, delivering good humor and a wide variety of mission ideas. However, the disastrous execution of its basic mechanics ruins any chance of fun. It is a title that tries to embrace too much, but fails at the fundamentals and ends up failing the course with flying colors.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam finds its greatest strength when all of its systems click, turning massive teamwork into an unpredictable and intensely immersive war experience. Driven by excellent map design and a terrifyingly atmospheric depiction of jungle combat, the game overcomes technical glitches, awkward console menus, and a steep learning curve to deliver a deeply rewarding multiplayer shooter.

Once past its lackluster opening, Aggelos 2 delivers dynamic, engaging Metroidvania-style exploration, opting to provide paths where players can get lost and make their own discoveries rather than relying on clear directions. The concept of switching between two dimensions works well, defining an adventure that—even without a deeply developed narrative—makes the journey worthwhile.

Even with less content than its predecessor, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 is a dream come true, bringing the climax of Solid Snake’s story to modern platforms. On top of that, it includes Big Boss’s excellent portable chapter and an obscure Game Boy Color classic, so the quality more than makes up for the quantity. Konami did a solid job porting these games, with plenty of customization options on PC while leaving their core intact.

Reanimal: The Prisoner retains the stunning art direction and creepy atmosphere of the base game, but offers very little substance to justify its standalone existence, turning this short episode into a prologue that feels more like a promise for future chapters than a fully realized expansion.

DuskFade is much more than a platformer that pays homage to great titles of the past; it delivers a solid story with compelling characters, excellent exploration and art direction, and great 3D platforming moments.Even though the combat could use some extra polish and the game lacks certain quality-of-life improvements—such as an easier way to track collectible progress in each region—the experience remains unique.

Fulfilling its role as a DLC by expanding upon the qualities of the base game, DOOM: The Dark Ages - Revelations is practically a must-have. The added story complements the campaign very well, as does the debut of the Spear enhances the gameplay. Its combat and movement capabilities allow you to tackle the missions and other challenges, all of which are radical and intense. Now we await the next iteration of this classic FPS franchise that has reinvented itself for modern times since 2016.

Ultimately, Twisted Tower effectively blends a theme park setting with horror, delivering memorable moments thanks to its well-crafted atmosphere, soundtrack, voice acting, and tight arena combat filled with enemies. Despite its great ideas, the game eventually becomes repetitive and inconsistent in its direction, leaning heavily into a full-on action title due to its wide array of combat and exploration elements. Regardless, it remains an extremely fun and immersive experience that will certainly appeal to players missing games in the style of Bioshock.

Wild Blue Skies was a bittersweet experience for me. While I am a fan of shooters and enjoyed the adventure, its inspiration from Star Fox goes beyond mere homage; it features moments that replicate patterns so closely they stifle the game's potential originality, from the narrative to the level design. That said, if you have never played the Nintendo title, it is worth taking a chance on these blue skies.

With the visual style of a children's book, Capy Castaway is a great experience that evokes emotions and reflections that are very common to find in independent games.

The Sinking City 2 is a bold genre shift for Frogwares that mostly pays off. The Nightshade rune system and a well-integrated Investigation Space give it real identity, and a drowned Arkham remains a genuinely oppressive Lovecraftian setting. Combat against groups and a stiffer-than-ideal aim keep it from being flawless, but not enough to overshadow what the team achieved under conditions few studios will ever have to face.

The modern version preserves the agility of the original games while expanding the mechanics and possibilities with new systems. The result is a beautiful homage, allowing the player to analyze how game design can evolve without losing the essence of the original work.

Future Knight is an impressive experience. While it’s a simple game in terms of gameplay, it’s engaging enough for its unique visual beauty to enrich the experience. Although it could have featured different types of weapons and a greater variety of biomes, what it offers is a unique and enjoyable adventure.

PAW Patrol – Dino World makes no attempt to hide the fact that it is a game for children, delivering a solid experience with mechanics that are simple and fun for its target audience.

ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs far surpasses all expectations, being one of the most immersive experiences in the genre. By combining extremely enjoyable gameplay, attention to atmosphere, a huge catalog of technological relics, and a narrative anchored by a humanized protagonist—even if the narrative pace can drag a little at times—the title from Mandragora Studio delivers much more than just another task simulator.
