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.

Ninja Gaiden 4 had a difficult task: navigating the heavy legacy of a series that has made difficulty one of its trademarks while also satisfying a new audience looking for deep but accessible action. Yakumo and Ryu's mission was accomplished with flying colours, and the latest addition to the Team Ninja saga is an extremely entertaining action game, but with a combat system ready to be dissected by the most demanding fans.

Pokémon Legends ZA is a game designed to make you angry. Not because it's difficult or poorly designed: in terms of gameplay, even though it doesn't innovate much and instead relies on tried and tested formulas (real-time battles add a little extra excitement), it works. Aesthetically and technically, however, we are talking about a title that borders on indecency, and no, it cannot be blamed on the Nintendo Switch. ZA is a potentially very interesting video game, trapped inside a terrible shell.

NASCAR 25 achieves the most important goal of all for what is technically a debut in the series: it lays a rock-solid foundation for the future. The career mode and pit strategy need improvement, but overall it's a lot of fun and we recommend it to fans of oval track racing.

Yooka-Echo is a good game, full of charm and finally polished as it should have been from the start. It's not perfect, but it manages to reconcile fans of the genre with the idea of a classic 3D platformer adapted to modern times.

CloverPit seems to be the spiritual successor to Balatro: a roguelite based on gambling, which twists and expands the rules in an ingenious and entertaining way. The title offers hours of gameplay and pure entertainment. After winning a few times, however, it starts to feel a bit monotonous.
