MOUSE: P.I. For Hire offers an incredibly enjoyable experience that draws you in from start to finish with its distinctive noir atmosphere, stylish visuals, and gripping detective story. With its fun gameplay, powerful soundtrack, and memorable characters, it stands out as one of the most notable and absolutely must-play titles of recent times.

People of Note is an ambitious project from a small team. With its focus on music genres, engaging story, and colorful world, it also appeals to players unfamiliar with turn-based action. However, the gameplay can become repetitive over time, which may diminish the overall experience. While it has clear potential, it is better suited for those seeking a simpler, music- and puzzle-focused experience rather than a deep turn-based one.

Although Crimson Desert falls short in terms of its story and narrative, its vast world, gameplay mechanics and brilliant execution have introduced the term ‘single-player MMORPG’ into our vocabulary, and we’re likely to be hearing it more often.

Marvel MaXimum Collection is a compilation that promises a nostalgic experience by bringing together some classic Marvel games in a single package, with the aim of reviving the spirit of retro arcade gaming. Whilst the games included in the collection reflect the design aesthetics of their era and earlier interpretations of the Marvel universe, it is evident that some titles fall short by today’s standards and that the player experience varies across the games.

Darwin's Paradox is a technically polished and atmospheric platform-adventure that blends creative stealth mechanics with a charming post-apocalyptic world, offering a short and satisfying experience.

EverSiege: Untold Ages combines strategy, rogue-lite, tower defence and MOBA genres to offer an initially engaging and promising experience. However, its weak combat system, unbalanced progression structure and sense of repetition prevent it from fully realising this potential. With the right updates, it could reach a much higher standard, but for now it offers an average experience.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando successfully blends the atmosphere of 1980s B-grade horror and action films with a chaotic co-op zombie experience. Massive zombie hordes, vehicle gameplay, and the unpredictable fun of playing with friends are among the game’s biggest strengths. However, its repetitive mission structure and a character progression system that lacks real impact prevent it from fully realizing its potential.

FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE revisits the 2003 original with a more dynamic system in mind. However, the series’ lingering clunky design and the imbalance introduced by its more complex mechanics can make the experience feel overwhelming. While the story and atmosphere capture the essence of a tense, nostalgic horror game, overly frequent and punishing combat encounters ultimately disrupt the game’s tension and pacing.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection offers a refreshing personal narrative and engaging turn-based combat, though it’s frequently bogged down by repetitive filler quests and a somewhat lifeless open world.

WWE 2K26 stands out as a sequel that builds upon last year's foundation rather than introducing major innovations; it offers a more realistic experience with improved animations, an updated physics system, and a more cinematic Showcase Mode. However, character face modelling and a sense of repetition in some modes remain among the series' weak points.

Resident Evil Requiem delivers a revolutionary design shift within the framework of the brand in the survival horror genre.

Tarsier Studios continues to present the tension created by massive obstacles confronting small creatures through a grotesque narrative style. Although the visuals are compelling enough to draw players in, issues centered around the camera, interactions, and AI undermine the experience (especially if you’re playing alone) and ultimately detract from the overall enjoyment.

Styx: Blades of Greed is a mechanically strong stealth game that enhances the series' sense of freedom with larger maps, vertical design, and acrobatic gameplay. Its ability to offer players different paths to progress and maintain its dark atmosphere are significant strengths. However, repetitive mission structures and weak cinematic storytelling prevent the game from fully realizing its potential.

Carmageddon: Rogue Shift is a game that delivers an enjoyable experience with its chaotic atmosphere and entertaining opening hours, but quickly becomes repetitive due to weak vehicle controls and a limited content structure. While its rogue-lite foundations attempt to bring a fresh twist to the formula, the game ultimately falls short of expectations in both presentation and gameplay variety.

With its deep, enjoyable combat and build variety, Nioh 3 stands out mechanically but falls short in terms of visuals and story.

A visually and technically messy Souls-like with a dull story, unbalanced combat and frustrating design choices; Code Vein II fails to capture the tight gameplay and atmosphere that make the genre shine.

MIO: Memories in Orbit effectively balances melancholic and comedic storytelling through a visually striking experience. Mio’s dynamic design shines, especially during boss encounters, while strong world-building and exploration are slightly held back by platforming issues and overly hidden progression paths.

Escape From Tarkov 1.0 still feels unfinished, but its intense and unique experience is why it remains so compelling and widely played.

Octopath Traveler 0 offers a gorgeous presentation and a solid town-building experience, but its overly cliché story and lengthy battles prevent it from truly standing out in the crowded JRPG landscape.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond confidently modernizes the series, but its cautious approach comes at the cost of the sense of discovery that once defined Metroid.
