A Pizza Delivery is a narrative adventure with simple puzzles and strange settings. We play a young delivery girl, trapped in a limbo where tormented souls end up. This is the developer's first experiment and should be interpreted as such. It would be wrong to expect great things.

Syberia Remastered takes us back twenty-two years to the role of Kate Walker, ready to embark on her icy adventure in search of the mystery of the Voralberg. The story is as magnificent as ever, and Microids has also offered us a decent improvement in the graphics department, but this re-release is not without its problems, especially on the technical side. Interpenetration, invisible walls and a particularly unstable build plague the title, compromising the overall experience.

Football Manager 26 is a rich, rich game - perhaps too rich. Sports Interactive has used its expertise to maintain the fundamental principles of the experience, while modernising it as much as possible; this has not always worked. In addition to the large number of bugs and technical issues of various kinds, the menu management will need to be reviewed again at SI. This will probably be addressed in FM27; for now, it remains the best management game on the market, but with many reservations due to the evolutionary leap.

Arc Raiders has definitely won us over: its settings are evocative, its sound design is excellent, and we haven't encountered any technical issues. But above all, we're talking about an extremely fun game that makes us want to try one new extraction after another. The threats do not lie solely in the ARCs, the robotic enemies that rule the post-apocalyptic world built by Embark, but also and above all in our fellow human raiders, ready to steal our resources. Prepare yourself for some tense moments!

Escape from Duckov is much more than a parody game: the latest surprise hit is a title with solid gameplay that is extremely entertaining. Our duck must survive and find resources in a hostile but ironic world, certainly free from the stress of competitive online games. There is definitely room for improvement on the part of Team Soda, especially with regard to controller management, but there have already been updates in this first month, and we are convinced that more will follow in the future.

Overall, Painkiller is a decent title, although it is not designed for fans of the original, of which it shares little more than the name. For those looking for a fast-paced but light-hearted pastime to enjoy with friends, it could be a pleasant experience. For those feeling nostalgic, however, it will be difficult not to miss the charisma and brutality that made the first Painkiller so unique.

Dreams of Another is a visually captivating experiment, but one lacking in substance. The idea of “creating by destroying” and the suspended aesthetics of the clouds of dots hint at remarkable artistic potential, but the execution fails to deliver on its promise. The result is a work that is more admired from afar than played with: fascinating, yes, but also cold and disorienting. A dream that, although beautiful to look at, ends up dissolving too soon.

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake completes the prestigious journey begun last year by Square Enix. While carrying with it the strengths and weaknesses seen in Ortega's story, the package containing the two adventures that gave rise to the beloved IP should not be missing from the collection of any RPG lover.

Simon the Sorcerer Origins fully captures the spirit of the very first episodes of the point-and-click saga of the teenage wizard. It seems like 30 years haven't passed since Adventure Soft's adventures full of comedy and fantasy, and Smallthing Studio has skilfully picked up the baton, giving us a good adventure, full of jokes and nostalgia.

The Lonesome Guild is a small but significant step forward for Tiny Bull Studios: a work that combines the team's narrative sensibility with a more mature and accessible game structure. It is not only a well-crafted action RPG, but also a reflection on the meaning of companionship, the fear of being alone, and the strength of the bonds that save us. It's just a shame about a few flaws in the map system and a combat system that lacks depth.

Stellar Reach is a title that takes a long time to appreciate. Its learning curve is steep, but if you give it the right amount of attention, you will reap many rewards. The limitations of a project managed by a single developer remain, but James Miller's experience is evident in his latest project.

Bounty Star is a title that does not aim to impress with special effects: it proves that the value of a game is not based solely on its graphics, but also on its ability to offer a varied and well-balanced gaming experience. It manages to surprise with a very interesting gameplay system, characterised by more frenetic combat moments interspersed with quieter management moments, in which players are given space for strategy.

BALL x PIT has everything a good roguelite should offer: fun, speed, unique builds and continuous evolution. A title that feels fresh and guarantees hours of entertainment.

We're only at the beginning, but for now, we feel like giving Dispatch top marks across the board. The gameplay is never boring and brings just the right amount of variety to the narrative genre: it's hard to take your eyes off the screen when you have a team of trouble-making heroes at your disposal, ready to be sent out to solve emergencies around the city! The voice acting, writing and animations are simply fantastic. The story, a mix between The Boys and The Office, is irreverent, and we're curious to find out where it's going. We'll talk about it again when the adventure is over, but one thing is certain: we can't wait to continue this curious video game!

Tormented Souls 2 confirms that Dual Effect is not a flash in the pan, but a solid presence on the indie horror scene. The Chilean team has deeply understood what makes a survival horror game memorable: the atmosphere, the vulnerability and the gratification of overcoming the impossible. Despite some stiffness in the controls and some limitations in interactivity, the title remains an experience of rare intensity. It is a journey into terror that does not just scare, but reminds the player why survival horror is, first and foremost, a test of nerves and dedication.

Fast & Furious: Arcade Edition is a light-hearted and entertaining title that offers spectacular, action-packed races, but it doesn't have enough fuel in the tank to keep you busy for long. It also has no reference to the film series, so we can only recommend it to those who are fans of 2000s arcade games.

The Outer Worlds 2 is a bigger and more ambitious sequel, with elements that significantly improve on the already appealing formula of the first instalment. There are many stories, many possibilities, and many opportunities to tackle an impressive and highly entertaining RPG; however, it is a shame about the many issues plaguing the PS5 version, with bugs and crashes that risk compromising the adventure.

Halls of Torment is a surprising fusion of two worlds: the depth and atmosphere of Diablo meets the frenzy and accessibility of Survivors-like games. The result is an experience that captivates from the very first minutes and invites you to return game after game, searching for the perfect combination of skills, equipment and luck. Despite a few minor flaws related to balance and certain limitations in the progression system, Chasing Carrots' game stands out as one of the best representatives of the genre, capable of distinguishing itself and shining in its own right. It is a title that not only pays homage to the classics, but also demonstrates how it is possible to innovate while remaining faithful to one's inspirations.

Never change a winning team. PowerWash Simulator 2 refines what was already good in the past, offering a relaxing and satisfying experience. The only drawback is FuturLab's failure to experiment with new gameplay features.

Once Upon A KATAMARI is, ultimately, a successful and intelligent celebration of the original concept, capable of combining nostalgia and novelty with a lightness that does not detract from the depth hidden beneath the playful surface. It's a game that smiles and asks for little, but can convince even the novice to stay glued to the screen to see how big they can make their Katamari; those who loved the series in the past will find many reasons to smile, while those approaching it for the first time will discover a formula that is accessible but surprisingly rich in nuances. If you are looking for an experience that alternates between relaxed moments and frenetic races, with a catchy soundtrack and a multiplayer mode that turns chaos into competition, Once Upon A KATAMARI proves it has enough ideas and character to justify its return to the scene after so long.
