Echoes of the End is a title that thrives on contrasts: ambitious but imperfect, technically uncertain but artistically inspired, linear but enriched by interesting mechanics. It's the classic game that not everyone will appreciate: those looking for a bug-free experience with every detail polished to perfection may find it frustrating, while those willing to forgive a few flaws in exchange for atmosphere and personality will find it a noteworthy experience.

Heretic + Hexen is a beautiful collection. Both titles have been updated with modern controls, bonus content, and thoughtful changes to the core design that significantly improve and modernise the gameplay experience. It's worth remembering, however, that we're talking about FPS games from the 1990s, with all the elements and limitations of that era; consider this carefully before purchasing. In any case, these remain two great cult classics that have been restored.

Mafia: The Old Country aims to take Hangar 13's work back to its roots, both in terms of the anthropological and historical origins of the criminal organisation and those of the video game franchise. The work done is commendable: we were captivated by a story and characters that were very well written. But what fascinated us even more was the historically accurate rendering of the setting and the passion with which the American developers committed themselves to conveying a period so full of colour, but also of shadows. Of course, we would have liked to lose ourselves even more deeply in this beautifully painted world, but Mafia: The Old Country does not want to lose its way and wants to accomplish its mission in the best possible way.

Compared to the first chapter, The Hinokami Chronicles 2 brings a significant leap forward to our screens and a total approach to the Demon Slayer anime, complete with breathtaking scenes, battles and animations, bringing us up to speed and preparing us for the final narrative arc, which promises great twists and turns.

The technical evolution of Hellblade 2 has been a success. Ninja Theory has managed to craft a revamped and refined version of last year's already impressive title. While there are obviously still divisive factors regarding the concept and gameplay devised by the British studio, Senua's adventure is worth experiencing for anyone looking for a short but intense experience, now more than ever.

Artis Impact is a deeply moving adventure, the result of a labour of love that shows how much a single developer can tell us about the world. The journey with Akane and Bot is sure to draw you into what will be a short but intense adventure.

Bungie, give us a sign. On the one hand, Boundary of Destiny manages to renew enthusiasm for a boundless narrative universe that still has a lot to say. On the other hand, the design and gameplay choices are ineffective: from these two points of view, it is one of the worst expansions in the entire history of the franchise. If the future of Destiny 2 starts here, it's not a great start.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is an exceptional experience in its own right. Smooth controls, fantastic level design and perfectly balanced boss battles make it one of the best 2D action platformers you'll find. The title offers plenty of fun and challenges for those who want them, while remaining accessible to newcomers.

The creators of KIDS and Plug & Play are back with one of their most ambitious projects to date. Playables succeeds, both technically and artistically, in creating a well-made video game that appeals to everyone, from those who love speedrun-style challenges to those who just want to relax and enjoy the graphics and sound. The video game carries on the adventure in a very enjoyable way, without the help of any dialogue or cutscenes, but only thanks to the gameplay. It is undoubtedly a successful title that never gets boring, while still maintaining the quality standards of the indie scene. We just wish it had lasted a little longer.

SOMA proves itself to be a gem in terms of portability too. Frictional's adventure, curated by Abylight, shines in all its depth on Nintendo Switch, giving all owners of the Japanese hybrid console the chance to enjoy an intense, fluid and immersive experience.

Killing Floor 3 is a smooth and immediate cooperative shooter, but too basic to be fully convincing. As it stands, the production lacks content, variety and depth. Survival mode is fun and well polished, but it's also the only thing the game has to offer, and after a few hours you start to feel the repetitiveness. The overall feeling is that of a project still in progress.

We loved Super Mario Party Jamboree when it was released on Nintendo Switch, and this relaunch for Switch 2, complete with new content, makes it even better and more fun. It's a truly enormous game, offering an unmissable experience for anyone looking to organise a few evenings with friends.

Donkey Kong is back, and he's back with a truly unique adventure. Nintendo EPD has created a game with innovative mechanics and enormous potential, which it doesn't always manage to express. The digging mechanic, for example, could have been handled in a more interesting way, especially when it comes to solving puzzles, something that Odyssey, with Cappy, did very well. Apart from this and a few minor technical hiccups, however, it's a great game to accompany the launch of Switch 2.

WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers doesn't just slavishly copy the rules set by From Software, but introduces interesting and original features that give it its own voice within the souls genre. The dark Chinese fantasy setting is terrifyingly good, and the story of the beautiful pirate will keep you glued to your joypad. It's a shame about a few technical and gameplay naiveties, but nothing that can't be fixed with a few patches.

Those who loved Rogue City will find Unfinished Business to be an equally enjoyable expansion. Despite a plot that is perhaps less incisive, the expansion manages to entertain, remaining faithful to the film and adding some new features to the original gameplay. Leaving aside the technical issues that plagued Rogue City, Unfinished Business is a stand-alone DLC that fans of the series should not miss.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is Hideo Kojima at his best. It stems from total creative freedom and the availability of resources, often resulting in a narrative that is unnecessarily convoluted and bordering on nonsense. However, it offers gameplay that does not change its essence but expands in every aspect, making it more dynamic, even if it is too easy to “undo” thanks to the unlimited arsenal of resources it offers. A gigantic playground for lovers of the first chapter: the surprise effect has worn off, but the feeling is that of coming home. At the end of the journey, you can't say it wasn't worth it.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is packed with content and offers dozens of achievements to complete and levels to explore. The feeling of playing these games more than 20 years ago is still very much alive, even though the graphics are sharper and the gameplay works better than you remember. Although Pro Skater 4's departure from its open-world structure may disappoint fans of the original, there's no denying that Iron Galaxy has done everything possible to make the two games cohesive and fun.

Shadow Labyrinth is recommended for all Metroidvania fans looking for original Pac-Man-themed elements. Bandai Namco's latest effort manages to entertain with complex gameplay and a different take on the famous franchise. It's just a shame about the somewhat flawed checkpoint management and some sections that might discourage newcomers.

Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is an example of how a product created by a team limited only in terms of numbers and budget, but not in creativity and attention to detail, can emerge and stand out as one of the best releases of 2025. River End's stealth game takes us to a world that is both distant and close at the same time, and Hanna's adventure and search for her brother drew us in thanks to the power of its more than solid gameplay.

The remaster of System Shock 2 brings us back to a great masterpiece of the past... with a few too many years under its belt. It was light years ahead of its time, but some of its systems haven't aged well. However, with a compelling story and gameplay that is still very solid, it remains a milestone in the shooter genre that younger players can now catch up on.
