Drag x Drive is a Nintendo Switch exclusive that blends sports, accessibility, and innovation with basketball matches on futuristic chairs controlled by the Joy-Con 2. The gameplay is creative but physically tiring. Despite its technical excellence, it lacks content and art direction, becoming fun but quickly repetitive. Definitely the least Nintendo game Nintendo has ever released.

OFF is a re-relase that, although timid and without major significant changes other than the new areas and bosses, still represents a surreal, unusual, fun and meaningful game, revitalizing and attracting a new audience to what is a true milestone for the modern indie industry.

Mafia: The Old Country had the potential to be a much bigger and better game than it is. The story is weak at several points, fails to deliver a satisfying ending, and its gameplay also suffers from issues.

Dead Take is a very solid experience with a strong narrative weight, both in development and theme, and although the lack of combat or escape may put off more hardcore players, the plot and the actors' performances leave a mark on anyone who passes through Duke Cain's dark mansion.

Wildate is a first-person PvPvE action game focused on teamwork, ship management, and dynamic combat. Visually striking and technically polished, it offers unique matches but heavily relies on cooperation. It features good progression and fair monetization; however, its paid model may deter players and can negatively impact the experience if played without friends.

Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate does a good job on setting the stage for the future of the game, but unfortunately, it falls short in creating a truly engaging and memorable experience. That said, the quality-of-life improvements and system changes like Armor 3.0 might be enough to satisfy the more dedicated players.

Nevertheless, the addictive gameplay and strong nostalgia factor are enough to please both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

It delivers enhanced graphics, industrial sci-fi environments, and gameplay mechanics that emphasize teamwork—without abandoning the classic elements that made the series a fan favorite.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a promising souls-like game that stands out for its fluid, technical, and engaging combat, with good customization and progression possibilities. The story, while interesting in premise, suffers from excessive tropes and a poorly paced narrative. The level design is repetitive, and exploration is unrewarding. The initial difficulty is unbalanced, but improves with progression. Technically, the game is stable and impresses with its small size and performance modes. With a rich and artistic setting, Wuchang delivers a challenging, albeit flawed, experience and is a good choice for fans of the genre who prioritize gameplay.

Even though Shadow Labyrinth is a tribute, it's also an adventure completely diverging of what's expected of PAC-MAN's standards, and even with some flaws here and there, it impresses with its robust and potential-filled final result, being a project that pleases fans of the genre and the company's franchises alike.
