Tukoni: Forest Keepers is one of those heartwarming cozy games, not only because of the various herbal teas we’ll find ourselves sipping with friends, but also because of the positive vibes that this world and its inhabitants manage to convey. Let’s pause for a moment and let ourselves be carried away like the leaves in a warm and welcoming forest.

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North – Legacy Edition is an action RPG that’s been around for several years, but it still manages to entertain thanks to its fast-paced combat, co-op mode, and atmosphere. It’s not a must-play, but for fans of Middle-earth, it’s an interesting rediscovery of a chapter that’s been forgotten for far too long.

MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls is a triumph across the board, at least for the PS5 version. Arc System Works has managed to craft a truly excellent fighting game, combining monumental art direction with impeccable fluidity. The introduction of the shared health bar and dual control scheme make the learning curve accessible to anyone, without compromising the extraordinary technical depth required for high-level matches, which is essential for a title that relies almost entirely on multiplayer. A great title for all fighting game fans and fans of the Marvel Universe.

Steins;Gate Re:Boot is a journey through time, taking us back to the memories of one of the best visual novels ever released. The power of its convoluted plot and its absurd characters is still electrifying, and there’s even new material for longtime fans to discover. However, there are a few reservations, as this edition may not be all that essential for those who’ve already played the original game: the new content isn’t exactly unmissable, and some longtime players might prefer the original artwork. Furthermore, there are still a few technical issues to be resolved, particularly for players on Steam Deck. With these caveats in mind, Steins;Gate Re:Boot is an absolutely unmissable story for those who’ve never experienced it, and a must-have purchase for science fiction fans.

Duskfade offers an enjoyable, visually impressive adventure bolstered by solid platforming mechanics. Its ambitions are somewhat held back, however, by an overly simple combat system, repetitive level design, and a generally low level of difficulty. Nevertheless, it remains a solid and pleasing title that entertains without any major missteps.

A bold first spin-off that hits the mark right on target. Although held back by a forgettable script and repetitive environments, *Splatoon Raiders* makes up for it with a solid, addictive, and surprisingly layered PvE framework. It’s a game that forgoes narrative twists to offer hours of tactical challenges, captivating and thoroughly immersing anyone who decides to give it a chance.

It’s absolutely true, we’re talking about two monumental titles that every role-playing game fan should experience at least once in their lifetime. But this latest re-release of the Final Fantasy X and X-2 HD Remaster doesn’t have much to get excited about. Those who have never visited Spira will find this bundle to be an excellent introduction; those who already have the games in their collection, or own them on other platforms, would probably be better off looking elsewhere.

Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel doesn't reinvent the genre and suffers from a certain degree of repetitiveness, especially in the missions and map design. However, it manages to offer a solid, satisfying, and highly engaging gameplay experience. For fans of Survivors-style games and those who love Norse mythology, it's a highly recommended purchase.

Halo: Campaign Evolved is, first and foremost, an act of love—the restoration that a masterpiece like Combat Evolved has long deserved, carried out with technical care and reverence bordering on veneration. But it’s also proof that absolute fidelity comes at a price: in its determination not to compromise anything, Halo Studios ended up preserving even what time had worn away, and of the “Evolved” in the title, what remains is mostly superficial. It remains a magnificent project to experience and rediscover, capable of opening the ring wide to a new audience—but one that’s timid precisely where it could have dared to go further. A return to its roots that lights up the eyes and warms the heart, yet fails to find the courage to truly look ahead.

CULTIC is one of the best modern examples of the genre. Despite its well-known references, the game has enough personality that it doesn’t feel like a mere imitation. The combat is fast-paced, brutal, and varied; the level design rewards exploration; and the art direction creates an oppressive and memorable atmosphere. The minimal storytelling, the platforming sections, a few forgettable bosses, and the excessive length of certain maps don’t detract too much from an overall enjoyable experience. Considering that most of the work was done by a single developer, the result is even more impressive. For fans of retro FPS games, horror, and over-the-top violence, CULTIC is practically a must-play.

Overall, the STAR WARS pack is a solid addition to PowerWash Simulator 2. The six levels don’t revolutionize the original formula, but they make smart use of the license, offering varied settings, remarkable attention to detail, and a pleasant sense of nostalgia. A few hard-to-reach surfaces and some minor technical glitches prevent the DLC from being flawless, but for fans of the saga, it remains a fun, relaxing, and highly recommended experience.

The new Endless Ragnarok expansion, as its name suggests, brings a massive amount of new content to Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Cygames' colorful action RPG originally released in early 2024. The update introduces new abilities, higher difficulty levels, additional characters to unlock, and even a brand-new roguelike mode, significantly expanding the game's longevity. While its story, built around many familiar genre clichés, may not leave a lasting impression, the real highlight is its refined combat system. Deep, fast-paced, and spectacular, it draws inspiration from the very best action JRPGs, delivering dozens of hours of engaging gameplay whether you're playing solo or with friends.

Seven years after its predecessor, Heave Ho 2 improves its cooperative formula but sacrifices the single-player mode in favor of multiplayer, further encouraged by the GameShare feature on Switch. A fluid technical performance and the introduction of unpredictable mechanics make it an excellent product in its genre. It is highly recommended to play privately with people you know well, because playing with randoms in public lobbies makes the game lose most of its magic.

Denshattack! is one of the most original games we’ve had the chance to try lately. Who would ever think to blend the world of Japanese trains with skateboarding and the vibrant colors of Jet Set Radio? This crazy and incredibly successful idea comes from the Catalan studio Undercoders, which has delivered a game that captivates us with its challenges and its eccentricity. But be warned! Mastering Denshattack isn’t for novice train drivers, and you’ll need a lot of dedication to impress your friends with the craziest tricks. Now it’s up to you: ready to go?

D-topia is an adventure that, through the characters’ words and the colors of a world that isn’t all that far removed from our own, allows players to reflect on numerous topics related to the control of society by a more intelligent entity. Beyond that, it’s also a great game for spending a few relaxing hours.

DOOM: The Dark Ages – Rivelazioni is an exceptional expansion that enhances and transforms an already rock-solid combat system. The Chain Spear stands out as one of the modern series' most successful additions. The return of the dash, increased verticality, and the ability to switch between spear and shield bring the gameplay closer to the mobility of DOOM Eternal without sacrificing the weighty feel of The Dark Ages. While the story remains predictable and the controls require an adjustment period, these are minor flaws when weighed against the quality and volume of content on offer. At a time marked by uncertainty regarding id Software's future, Rivelazioni once again demonstrates the studio's technical and creative prowess. It represents a near-perfect blend of the brutality found in The Dark Ages and the speed of DOOM Eternal.

“Black Flag Resynced” is a restoration that is deeply in love with its subject, and this is both its greatest strength and its most obvious limitation. On a technical and artistic level, it’s a delight—the sea, the light, and the Caribbean once again enchant us as much as, if not more than, before—and the abundance of new content proves that the talent for taking risks was certainly there. It’s a shame, then, that this courage didn’t extend all the way to the film’s foundations, leaving behind a battle that’s (perhaps) too tame and a plot that time has inevitably faded. It remains, however, an excellent way to set sail once more—or to do so for the first time, if you haven’t yet visited Edward’s Caribbean. As I write these lines, I’m already itching to get back at the helm of the Jackdaw. And perhaps, for a classic that we love and have always loved, this is precisely the detail that matters more than any other.

Echoes of Aincrad is a game with a noble concept, but its execution is too repetitive. While the game boasts a solid and engaging RPG system that highlights character stats and equipment customization, its lackluster gameplay ultimately dampens any enthusiasm. The bold decision to rewrite the narrative by sidelining Kirito stumbles due to a slow, poorly told story; a combat system that fails to impress because of the total lack of impact from attacks; exploration that offers no incentives whatsoever; and an overall repetitiveness that borders on the exhausting.

After more than ten years of silence, Rhythm Paradise Groove isn’t just a much-appreciated trip down memory lane, it immediately establishes itself as an absolute must-have in the genre. The formula proves to be a pure fun machine, capable of combining visual humor with surgical rhythmic precision, all enhanced by tracks composed by Tsunku. Aside from the Beatspell mode, which could have been a bit more daring in terms of depth, and a few less intuitive minigames, the overall experience is captivating and, above all, perfectly in sync with the music, providing players with hours of fun.

Star Fox is a fantastic remake of a game that made history on the Nintendo 64, although, once you reach the end of this adventure, a question naturally arises: was a third reimagining of Lylat Wars really necessary? We’re sure Nintendo did its homework, banking on a title that’s already excellent in its own right and that could capture the attention of new players after Fox McCloud and his team have been off the screens for so long; at the same time, we hoped that for this occasion, the Big N would have planned to expand the universe of a title that left its mark nearly 30 years ago. It’s a solid effort—a well-crafted remake complete with fun and successful online play (though not without its limitations)—but we’re certain they could have done a bit more to truly set it apart.
