Absolum is a great beat 'em up with excellent gameplay, stunning visuals, and incredible soundtracks. However, the game falls short as a roguelite, offering a story that takes a while to pick up and little variation between runs.

Yooka-Replaylee is the kind of remake every studio should study. Playtonic didn’t just give the original game a fresh coat of paint; it rebuilt the foundations, fixed design flaws, and delivered a modern, fluid, and charming version. It’s an experience that blends nostalgia and freshness, capturing the spirit of the classics without feeling outdated.

With a solid and fun foundation that appeals to both casual players and veterans, EA Sports FC 26 is without a doubt the best “FC” at launch so far.

King of Meat has an interesting premise, but it's executed in a shallow way. It also forces unfunny humor and uses an excessive amount of lighting that becomes uncomfortable during gameplay sessions. Maybe the game is aimed at a younger audience and I just didn't get it, but what I saw didn't impress me at all.

Hollow Knight: Silksong expands on the original’s formula in such a creative and bold way that it becomes something unique and memorable, going far beyond any shadow cast by the first game. Its fast-paced gameplay, well-balanced challenges, varied progression, and impeccable art direction—combined with cohesive level design and a striking soundtrack—establish Silksong as one of the standout games of 2025 and reaffirm Team Cherry as one of the most talented studios of our time.

Dying Light: The Beast sticks to the franchise’s winning formula, featuring fluid parkour, intense combat, and the now-classic day-night cycle. The gameplay is polished, fun, and rewarding, with bosses that add variety and unlock new abilities. However, the story remains a weak point, with forgettable characters and a generic villain. The smaller map and the sense of recycled content reinforce the impression that it could have been a DLC for Dying Light 2. Still, it's a great title for fans, though it may disappoint players looking for innovation or a more engaging narrative.

It also serves as an excellent entry point for both the genre and the Borderlands series.

Earthion is an ode to Mega Drive games, arcades, and the very history of video games. It perfectly emulates the style of the classics that shaped the industry, delivering an experience that will take you back to the good old days.

A solid title for those who are quite familiar and accustomed to roguelikes, although Katanaut suffers from a lack of great variation in the gameplay loop and relies on repetitiveness for much of the journey.

Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree offers a charming blend of storytelling, dual-character gameplay, and strategic combat that can easily captivate players. It's unique and dynamic, with clear potential. Despite a certain tension between cozy game elements and roguelite mechanics, the overall experience is engaging and rewarding when explored thoughtfully.

Despite having a solid foundation for its gameplay systems, Lost Soul Aside becomes a victim of its own ambition by attempting to tell an uninteresting and confusing story, while also making some missteps that prevent the combat from reaching its full potential, turning Yang Bing and UltiZeroGames' debut title into a major disappointment.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land offers a fun and accessible experience, with a simple story and satisfying progression through varied worlds. The creative transformations and interaction with environmental objects provide funny and enjoyable moments. The endgame raises the difficulty, and the co-op mode allows you to play with friends, although it’s somewhat limited. The Star Crossed World expansion is short, but the base game delivers a memorable and engaging experience for both fans and newcomers.

Metal Gear Solid Delta is a faithful remake to a fault. While it's a recommended experience for newcomers or fans who barely remember the original game, its lack of boldness leaves the title disappointing for fans accustomed to the authenticity that is the franchise's hallmark.
