Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter transforms a niche classic into a gem of modern JRPG. A polished, expressive game with gameplay that couldn't be more dynamic. It takes the best of the original (its world, its characters, its depth) and pushes it into the future with a more modern experience. If this is the future of Trails, something big has just begun.

CloverPit is an addictive slot machine roguelite, and Panik Arcade once again demonstrates its talent for blending ideas with solid gameplay systems. It has that sickening, oppressive feel of Inscryption, but with addictive random mechanics that push you to seek out impossible builds. It's simple to play, but has a touch of strategy. It's one of the indie surprises of the year.

Bad Viking repeats its formula and proves once again that it knows how to create unique experiences. Strange Antiquities is demanding, but tremendously immersive. Its setting, object design, and the uncomfortable atmosphere it conveys are its greatest strengths, although exploration feels too limited and certain pieces are too cryptic. If you enjoyed Strange Horticulture, don't miss this one.

Dying Light The Beast is recommended because it delivers on its promise to return the series to a darker, more tense, and brutal setting. It refines the foundations of the series and adds an interesting twist with the Beast System. This title will appeal to those who enjoyed the first Dying Light and anyone looking for an open-world survival horror game with personality. It's not perfect, but it is the most coherent and enjoyable installment.

Shape of Dreams has become one of the most interesting roguelites of the moment, thanks to an almost infinite variety of builds and its cooperative possibilities. And what didn't work at launch has been fixed with frequent updates. It feels like the best is yet to come.

Formula Legends is a driving arcade game that works well as a tribute to F1, but it has drawbacks that weigh down the experience. Its control issues, inconsistent AI, and some technical glitches weigh too heavily on the experience. It's a charming title, but it needs polishing to reach the podium.

LEGO Voyagers is a cooperative adventure that focuses on simplicity and collaboration. It doesn't surprise with revolutionary mechanics or challenging puzzles, but it does manage to offer a welcoming and familiar experience. It's short, accessible, and beautiful, perfect for sharing with your partner, a friend, or even children.

Borderlands 4 comes recommended because it marks the comeback the series needed. It doesn't revolutionize the genre, but it refines its foundations and takes them to more ambitious heights with an open world, a revamped combat system, and an arsenal that continues to reign supreme in the realm of chaos. Despite its technical issues, the result is an addictive, fun game with dozens of hours of gameplay ahead.

NBA 2K26 is recommended because it continues to be the definitive basketball experience. The evolution of its gameplay and the depth of all its game modes mark a leap in quality compared to previous installments. The downside? There are still too many microtransactions in all areas. In any case, it is an ambitious, comprehensive title that maintains its essence.

SEGA has achieved a remarkable comeback for the Shinobi series. Art of Vengeance maintains the classic essence and adapts it to 2025 with an agile, precise, and truly satisfying combat system. The mix of action stages with slight Metroidvania touches offers variety, although also a certain lack of identity. It doesn't revolutionize the genre, but it does become one of the best 2D action games of the year.

Hell is Us comes recommended because it's a game with a daring approach due to its exploration mode. It will captivate you with its atmosphere, mystery, and the satisfaction of discovering how everything works for yourself. It's not perfect, but it has personality and soul. If you like to explore at your own pace and solve puzzles, you'll find this title ideal for you.

Cronos: The New Dawn comes highly recommended because Bloober Team has not only found its identity in the horror genre, but also because rarely will a game draw you in like this one does. It will immerse you in an uncomfortable, dark, and brutal journey where every bullet and every decision matters. A tense and immersive survival horror experience awaits you, a unique blend of anguish and fascination.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land + The Astral World is recommended because it is not only an improved version, but also the definitive way to enjoy one of the best titles in the series. All in all, this edition is perfect for both those who have already played the base game and new players. Despite some inevitable repetitions, this is an essential game from the initial catalog of the new Nintendo Switch 2.

Whisper of the House combines the calmness of tidying up with a subtle mystery, exporting the ideas of Unpacking to an entire village. Its story is also revealed through the objects you place, with delightful pixel art. Recommended for fans of cozy games despite its technical and localization flaws.

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is a careful remake that modernizes just enough to make it enjoyable in 2025 without losing its essence. Its simplicity may seem lacking compared to complex, modern offerings such as Stardew Valley, but that accessibility makes it a great gateway into the genre. Simple, straightforward, full of content, and fun. Recommended.

Sword of the Sea comes highly recommended because it is a beautiful, immersive, and unique game, with masterful art direction and a formidable soundtrack, although it is weighed down by a vague storyline. Giant Squid reaffirms its identity with a title that turns the journey into a poetic act. Without a doubt, it is an unforgettable journey that confirms, once again, that video games are also art.

Drag x Drive is a lot of fun to play, with innovative controls that make great use of the JoyCon 2 and manage to convey the physical effort of a real sport. However, it lacks content: there are no attractive game modes, no tournaments, and no real progression to keep players interested in the long term. Nintendo has released a brave and inclusive title, but one that feels empty.

Is This Seat Taken? is a charming puzzle game that demonstrates how a very simple idea can become something surprisingly ingenious and challenging. It shines visually, hooks you with its premise, and offers more than generous content for what it costs. That said, the narrative takes a back seat and fails to excite as much. In any case, it's a short, original, and fresh journey that's worth experiencing.

Discounty has reminded me that even running a small shop in a fictional town can be exciting. It's a very entertaining management video game with a strong narrative component, touches of humor, and a certain realism. I had a lot of fun playing it, although some bugs marred the experience a bit. If they fix them, it's one of the most entertaining indie games of 2025.

Mafia: The Old Country is like opening an old bottle of Sicilian wine: the flavor is intense, familiar, and comforting, but you notice that time has left it with a touch of age. It shines in its setting, characters, and leisurely narrative, but it resists modernizing its gameplay, remaining a game that will delight lovers of the genre and mafia stories, while leaving those looking for something more wanting more.
