"The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales" is the best Zelda-like of this generation. While its puzzles need more polish and it struggles to establish a unique identity, its rewarding exploration, excellent dungeons, and satisfying combat more than make up for it.

Excellent dungeon design, a versatile digging mechanic, and rewarding progression make for an outstanding adventure. While the story falls short of its potential and the difficulty can be unforgiving, this is a must-play for fans of challenging action-adventure games.

Despite its heavily recycled gameplay loop, Solarpunk kept me engaged thanks to its enjoyable mix of base building, energy management, and resource gathering.

In the first few minutes of the game, I'm not sure whether the "rubber-band" mechanics in *Crushed in Time* are an innovation or just a way to drag the story out. However, the developers show a lot of creativity and come up with exciting twists that keep me hooked from level to level. I'm actually really enjoying it.

DarkSwitch is an intriguing city builder with a strong core idea, where a settlement built around a massive tree creates a more constrained, uncertain, and spatially focused take on the genre. Fog, light mechanics, and vertical design come together with an atmospheric score by Akira Yamaoka to strong effect. However, the game doesn’t fully realize its potential: exploration feels functional, citizens lack depth, and larger settlements suffer from readability issues, with its striking presentation sometimes working against clarity. Overall, it remains a distinctive and atmospheric survival city builder with clear ambition, but uneven execution prevents it from fully delivering on its promise.

"Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight" is a tribute to 80 years of Batman. The game brings together Batman characters from a wide range of eras and tells a story of its own. It’s packed with Lego slapstick and humorous one-liners that make me laugh just as much as they do my five-year-old son.

"Yoshi and the Mysterious Book" is an entertaining game full of cute characters. It isn’t particularly challenging, and if I get stuck, I can unlock hints. I feel right at home in the book’s picturesque landscape and look forward to meeting new creatures in every level.

If you enjoy narrative role-playing games that let you immerse yourself deeply in a world, I can recommend "Zero Parades: For Dead Spies." However, if you're not keen on reading a lot, you're better off staying away from this game.

Every mile I drive in my cars is pure fun, pure adrenaline, or pure relaxation. Simply put: a masterpiece for anyone who loves cars and Japan.

‘Mixtape’ shows just how magical music can be and what emotions it can stir up. Throughout the nearly three hours of this audiovisual masterpiece, I had butterflies in my stomach the whole time. The blend of retro charm, a killer soundtrack and the boundless energy of youthful friendship is a sure-fire hit.

With Directive 8020, Supermassive Games is taking the plunge from tried-and-tested quick-time event horror to genuine survival gameplay. However, this space adventure stumbles over a plot riddled with holes and tedious stealth sections.

“Adorable Adventures” is a warm, atmospheric cozy adventure that works best when you embrace its slow pace. For its modest scope, it offers a heartfelt, relaxed journey ideal for one or two evenings.

Outbound is a relaxing explore-and-craft game that impresses with its core idea of building your home through a mobile “set up camp” system, blending road trip vibes with surprisingly flexible construction. While the grind, slow movement speed, and occasionally confusing blueprint navigation can be frustrating, the overall experience still feels engaging. Its simple but charming visuals and occasional crafting or terminal mini-games add light variety, and the laid-back atmosphere works especially well in co-op with up to four players—though I only played solo.

The Day I Became A Bird delivers a brief, quirky, and heartwarming experience that achieves a lot with very simple means. Frank remains a likeable protagonist: naive, sincere, and funny. The interactive picture book strikes a perfect balance between humour and emotion without ever becoming sentimental. On the gameplay side, it is deliberately straightforward, yet never boring.

Invincible VS is a solid 3v3 tag fighter. Its brutal, fast-paced combat impresses with precise controls and meaningful strategic depth. The audiovisual presentation also stands out—it’s clear this was made by people who genuinely care about Invincible. However, the game falls short on content, with a thin single-player offering, a limited character roster, and questionable DLC choices. How much you get out of this bone-crunching 3v3 fighter depends heavily on your attachment to the IP and your love for the genre.

In real life, I hate travelling by bus. Could ‘Bus Bound’ still be a suitable game for me? Surprisingly, yes! Despite its monotonous gameplay, ‘Bus Bound’ creates a loop I can hardly resist. Yet the reward system kept motivating me to drive to the next stop.

“Saros” is a powerhouse. Visually, sonically, and mechanically, few action titles can match this adventure on Carcosa. Six years into its lifecycle, the PS5 finally gets its first truly must-have exclusive action shooter. Its finely balanced mix of offense and defense, breathtaking setting, and a solid—if somewhat clunky—story make this roguelite essential, even if you’re not typically a fan of shooters.

"Little Nightmares" works surprisingly well in VR, delivering a fresh perspective on its eerie world. Environments and enemies feel larger, more threatening, and more grotesque than ever. Unfortunately, it doesn’t fully capitalize on the medium. Interaction is limited for a VR experience, leading to frustrating trial-and-error sequences, and some ideas feel underdeveloped rather than fully realized. Just as it starts to gain momentum, it’s already over. Still, fans of the series will find plenty to appreciate.

"Crown of Greed" replaces direct control with indirect incentives, which takes time to get used to and isn’t always well explained. The rough onboarding, occasional lack of clarity, and limited hero progression hold it back. But once it clicks, it offers a distinct strategic flow where your influence feels meaningful without full control.
