Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment masterfully blends the musou genre with mechanics from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, creating an extremely fun combat system. Its canonical narrative for the BOTW and TOTK universe expands the lore of both games in a very respectful way, adding new and interesting elements to Hyrule’s story without necessarily making them overly essential to the universe, serving as an excellent complement for fans who love this world.

With major improvements over its predecessor, Anno 117: Pax Romana makes use of ray tracing technology for global illumination and reflections, creating a beautiful and immersive atmosphere. The gameplay has been refined, with the addition of new mechanics that add greater depth to the experience. However, not everything is perfect as the time required to complete each research task is quite long, which can lead to some fatigue due to the duration and the large number of points to unlock. Still, the game offers great rewards to the player.

BALL x PIT is a thrilling, addictive, and downright crazy game! It’s one of those games that reminds you why video games are so captivating. It’s beautiful to see this mix of subgenres and classic game ideas come together here, in such a charming and masterful way by Kenny Sun and his friends. I don’t recommend it if you already have a big backlog, because this game will steal all your free time.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is the best game in the franchise in many years, but it still doesn’t update the formula enough for you to feel like you’re playing a truly modern version of what Pokémon should be in 2025. With its highs and lows, we hope that Game Freak has learned its lesson and will continue moving in the right direction from here on out.
