EA Sports UFC 6 is the most complete entry in the franchise, offering more accessible gameplay without sacrificing depth. The new Hall of Legends mode and polished presentation add meaningful value, while the improved combat makes every fight feel impactful.

Copa City brings a refreshing twist to the management genre by putting players in charge of organizing every aspect of a major sporting event. Its deep simulation systems and charming presentation make for a rewarding experience, but the lack of guidance after the tutorial creates a steep learning curve. With a few quality-of-life improvements, it has the potential to become a standout management game.

NBA The Run succeeds where many sports games fail by offering a fun experience. Its accessible controls, fast-paced matches, and excellent atmosphere help recapture some of the magic of the classic arcade basketball games of yesteryear. Not to mention that the online community is, for now, quite enjoyable. Unfortunately, the lack of game modes and the heavy reliance on multiplayer prevent the game from reaching its full potential. Players who love online competition will likely find plenty to enjoy for several weeks. Others, however, may realize fairly quickly that they’ve already seen most of what the game has to offer.

Star Fox successfully modernizes a Nintendo classic with stunning visuals, refined controls, and an engaging presentation while preserving the fast-paced arcade gameplay that made the original memorable. The new content and replay value give players more reasons to return, even if the adventure remains relatively short. Overall, it's a faithful and polished remake that marks a welcome return for Fox McCloud and his team.

With 007 First Light, IO Interactive has pulled off a true tour de force. The studio doesn’t just deliver a decent adaptation of the James Bond universe. The game crafts an experience that perfectly captures what has made the character so popular for so many years. Between its excellent storyline, charismatic characters, stunning environments, solid stealth mechanics, and spectacular presentation, the game checks nearly every box. Granted, the driving sequences could have been more ambitious, and managing gadget resources can sometimes be frustrating, but these flaws are minor compared to the game’s overall quality.

Voidling Bound offers a unique formula that successfully blends various influences in a generally compelling way. Its system of evolving creatures is clearly its greatest strength, as are its dynamic battles, which remain enjoyable for much of the adventure. The need to adapt to different types of enemies, the numerous possibilities offered by the skill trees, and the freedom given to the player to develop their team all contribute to an engaging experience. However, the game isn’t immune to certain issues of repetitiveness. The rapidly increasing difficulty sometimes forces you to repeat the same objectives over and over, while the lack of long-term variety in the missions eventually becomes noticeable.

Nickelodeon Extreme Tennis: Next! manages to provide a few hours of entertainment thanks to its accessible approach and its charming cast of characters from the brand’s famous franchises. The arcade-style tennis gameplay is generally well-executed, the special powers add a bit of personality to the matches, and the co-op mode is a welcome addition. However, the initial fun quickly fades due to extremely repetitive progression, limited content, and a clear lack of variety in the courts and activities on offer. The game constantly gives the impression that it could have offered so much more. I hope future updates will enhance the experience!

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight successfully celebrates the Dark Knight’s entire legacy while offering a modern, accessible adventure packed with content. Thanks to its excellent art direction, vast array of references, and open world that’s a joy to explore, the game easily ranks among the best LEGO titles of recent years. Admittedly, some side activities lack originality, and a few technical glitches occasionally slow down the pace of the adventure. However, these flaws remain relatively minor when you consider everything the game accomplishes. Although an online mode would have greatly enhanced the two-player experience. Ultimately, whether you’re a fan of the movies, the animated series, or the comic books, this title is well worth your attention.

Everything is Crab is an undeniable success both creatively and in terms of gameplay. The blend of Spore and Vampire Survivors works wonderfully, offering an accessible, addictive, and thoroughly original experience. The visual mutations are a brilliant idea that boosts replayability, and the gameplay loop is solid enough to keep you hooked for hours. However, the lack of variety in the environments, limited depth, and content that could be more substantial prevent the game from reaching the pinnacle of the genre. I sense enormous potential, but it remains only partially realized.

Directive 8020 isn’t a failure, but it’s also not the comeback that some were hoping for from Supermassive Games. The game offers a few notable improvements, particularly in terms of narrative structure and replayability. However, these strengths are constantly undermined by uneven execution, a plot that lacks restraint, and gameplay that struggles to justify its existence. More broadly, the title confirms a worrying trend for the studio, which seems to be finding it increasingly difficult to match the quality of its best productions.

This game has been polarizing from the very beginning. Some will love it for specific reasons: its length (easily around 120 hours), the numerous and varied quests, and the engaging and fun combat. Others, however, will find the game sorely lacking in inspiration when it comes to its story. The truth lies somewhere in between. Crimson Desert offers plenty of enjoyment for those who like to engage in various activities at their own pace. But if you’re looking for a deep story where you’ll grow attached to the characters and people you meet along the way, you couldn’t be further from it. So you have to take the game for what it is: an adventure RPG that stands out without being the blockbuster everyone was expecting. And that’s perfectly fine.

Mixtape is a truly unique experience. It’s not a game that aims to impress with its difficulty or complex mechanics. On the contrary, some purists might even argue that it’s hardly a video game at all, since most of the time, we’re actually doing very little. The gameplay is minimalist and serves almost exclusively to complement the emotions, dialogue, and music.

Bus Bound is a game that succeeds in ways we didn’t necessarily expect, while failing to take a crucial step forward. The driving is enjoyable, the environment is immersive, and its accessible approach makes it an experience that’s easy to enjoy. There’s a real quality to this unapologetic simplicity, to this desire to offer a game that can be played without pressure and that focuses on immediate enjoyment. However, that same simplicity also becomes its main drawback. The lack of depth in the management mechanics, the lack of variety in progression, and the repetitiveness that gradually sets in prevent the game from truly holding up over the long term. It remains to be seen whether this feeling will fade with the updates and additional content planned for the coming months.

With Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Nintendo has likely created one of the most creative and contemplative Yoshi games in recent years. While it doesn’t set out to completely revolutionize the formula, the game still manages to constantly surprise players thanks to its focus on exploration, observation, and discovery. Despite a few minor slowdowns and a fairly accessible difficulty level, this colorful adventure is brimming with personality and charm from start to finish.

Aphelion is a narrative science-fiction game that places a strong emphasis on atmosphere, exploration, and the mystery surrounding Persephone. Thanks to its stunning art direction, highly effective environmental storytelling, and clever concepts involving electromagnetic waves, the game manages to hold your interest for much of the adventure. Unfortunately, several technical issues detract from the experience. Uneven animations, problematic collisions, and certain movement-related bugs sometimes prevent the game from fully reaching its potential. After a while, the climbing sections and stealth areas became so repetitive that I found myself no longer wanting to explore the next area.

Forza Horizon 6 remains an excellent racing game. It’s beautiful, smooth, accessible, and offers an impressive amount of content. In fact, the online modes are well-designed, and the new menu makes them much easier to access. However, the game also feels like it’s playing it too safe by relying heavily on the foundations laid by its predecessors. For a new player, it’s an ideal entry point into the franchise. For veterans, it’s a return to familiar territory, with a few interesting detours, but no real surprises.

From the very beginning, I was really excited about Invincible VS. As a huge fan of the franchise, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the game. When you think about it, for a debut title, the studio has managed to deliver explosive, intense, and spectacular battles that truly do justice to the universe. The 3-on-3 combat system works a treat, the cast is compelling, and the visuals pack a punch. It all adds up to an obvious love letter to fans of the franchise. Unfortunately, all this potential is held back by content that’s far too thin to sustain the experience over the long term, particularly for players less interested in competitive multiplayer. It’s an excellent starting point for a potential sequel or for an experience that could grow over time.
