Ready or Not is a bold and satisfying return to tactical shooters. With deep, realistic gameplay and solid level design, it delivers a tense and rewarding experience — especially in singleplayer. While the technical side shows its indie roots and the story is nearly absent, the core gameplay is strong enough to make it a standout in the genre.

Jamboree TV adds variety to an already feature-rich title, but it does so in a way that's not entirely satisfying. It doesn’t improve the original experience, which remains limited to backward compatibility, and it introduces an exclusive mode that feels completely disconnected and is limited to just 20 mini-games. Not bad, but we were hoping for a bit more.

Wild Hearts S is a title that definitely has its merits, offering a straightforward hunting experience suitable for new players, but it absolutely needs to drop the Katana Engine once and for all in order to make the leap it truly deserves.

Killing Floor 3 is a good game, flaws aside. In fact, in its best games, it still manages to deliver the same adrenaline, cooperation, and bloody thrills as it did in the past. But it's also a product that seems to be chasing modern trends—monetization, battle passes, seasonal content—to the detriment of the arcade purity that made the series so beloved. If you're playing with a group of friends and looking for a PvE experience filled with chaos and monsters, Killing Floor 3 has a lot to offer. But if you were expecting a sequel faithful to the spirit of the second installment, you might be disappointed by a whole series of systems and subsystems that, overall, weigh down the overall gaming experience.

Dear Me, I Was is a short interactive drama by Arc System Works that tells the story of a woman's life through emotional, hand-painted visuals and subtle point-and-click mechanics. Using rotoscoped animation and watercolor art, the game blends narrative and visual storytelling in a unique, deeply personal way. Though minimal in gameplay, every interaction carries emotional weight, making it a heartfelt reflection on memory, loss, and the beauty of everyday life. It’s not for those seeking action, but for players open to unconventional storytelling, it’s a powerful, unforgettable experience.

Now in its final form, Luto emerges as a compelling psychological horror. While clearly inspired by P.T., it carves out a distinct identity thanks to its deeply unsettling atmosphere. Rather than relying on cheap jumpscares, Luto builds tension through psychological discomfort, supported by a strong narrative, maze-like level design, and masterful spatial audio. Despite its simple gameplay, it delivers a haunting experience that proves psychological horror still has the power to surprise and resonate.

Shadow Labyrinth is a missed opportunity. The concept—reimagining Pac-Man as a dark metroidvania—is bold and intriguing, with promising ideas like mech transformations and classic mazes. But the execution falters: sluggish pacing and minimal character progression make it hard to stay engaged. The level design also takes too long to get interesting, a major flaw for any metroidvania. In the end, it’s an ambitious experiment with untapped potential that needed a stronger push to truly shine.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers marks Leenzee's debut in the Soulslike genre, adding well-structured RPG elements and a challenging, at times frustrating, action gameplay that perfectly aligns with the genre and suits its target audience, who will undoubtedly be captivated by it.

Monument Valley III returns in widescreen format, offering a top-tier artistic experience, despite an overall duration that may be too short to be fully rewarded. The absence of the promised DLC at launch is disappointing, as it is now expected to arrive in winter 2025 along with a substantial, yet unspecified, update. Despite this, we warmly recommend it.

Ultimately, this re-release proves to be disappointing and uninspired. Despite the undeniable value of its original story and mechanics, it's hard to recommend the console version—especially to those without a strong sense of nostalgia for the game. A missed opportunity that deserved far more care and attention.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 brings back the thrill of classic arcade skating with fluid gameplay, gorgeous level design, and creative new modes. While some design choices—especially around THPS 4—may disappoint longtime fans, the overall experience remains a highly enjoyable tribute to the golden age of skateboarding games.

No Sleep For Kaname Date brings back the winning formula of the previous two titles, combining entertaining puzzles with an engaging story. While the plot remains simple, it is supported by creative ideas that are sure to surprise players. The puzzles, which form the core of the experience, offer variety and originality, even if the gameplay itself is beginning to feel slightly outdated. Performance on both Nintendo Switch systems is commendable, delivering solid results regardless of which console you own.

Patapon 1+2 Replay isn't trying to reinvent the franchise born from Japan Studio’s creativity. Still, it's a great chance to relive these iconic rhythm-based adventures. Presented in their original form with minimal touch-ups and helpful accessibility options, they remain simple yet charming experiences. At a fair price, the timeless gameplay alone makes it worth revisiting—especially for newcomers or longtime fans, 18 years after the original debut.

The Alters is a bold and thought-provoking experience, blending sci-fi survival with deep psychological themes. Managing your clones while racing against time creates real tension, and the game’s artistic direction is both striking and atmospheric. Despite some repetitive structure, The Alters stands out for its narrative depth and meaningful choices. It may not be for everyone, but it certainly leaves a mark.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a good action game in the roguelike style, with a lovely aesthetic that's "respectful" of the comic book tradition, as well as overall solid and fun gameplay. The co-op mode adds several levels of fun and strategy to the game, which, however, suffers from the classic problems of (almost) all titles in the genre: irremediable and irreversible repetitiveness. That said, at a very affordable price, the game could prove to be an unexpectedly valuable time-killer, especially if you have a friend to play it with.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach may follow a simple premise—like the single line through two points—but it's rich with layers. Hideo Kojima’s latest creation blends survival management, narrative adventure, third-person shooting, brawling, musical elements, and cinematic flair. After 400 kilometers reconnecting a collapsing Australia, it’s clear this is a lavish production, refined from the 2019 original. While the story may falter at times, the gameplay remains compelling—though unlikely to win over those who didn’t enjoy the first game. Still, it’s a masterclass in high-budget creativity, and when “To The Wilder” plays over the credits, it’s hard not to long for more time on those dusty roads.

Rematch is an absolutely fun and sui generis football game, a real low-cost alternative to more famous (and in some ways, stale) productions. Unique design, excellent controls and a simple and addictive gameplay will help immerse us in an infinite loop of play. High-level images and animations confirm once again Sloclap as one of the best realities of the videogame scene. The experience, at the moment, is not yet perfect and there are many shortcomings and rough edges to file, but it is only a matter of time. Probably, the best "casual but not too much" football experience in relation to the low launch price.

Tamagotchi Plaza features the usual charming characters the series is known for, but sadly misses the mark. It fails to offer an experience suited to its audience, with gameplay that feels designed for a completely different platform. The lack of tutorials or clear objectives means some shops require several trial-and-error attempts just to understand how they work, slowing down an already repetitive and uninspired pace, and offering very little to the player. I sincerely hope for a complete shift in both development and vision before we see more titles that could risk damaging the legacy of this iconic franchise.

EA Sports F1 25 crosses the finish line with a solid, visually stunning experience. The use of Lidar enhances circuit realism, while the revamped Team Career mode adds strategic depth. The game includes varied modes like F1 World and Braking Point 3, appealing to both newcomers and veterans—provided they have a stable internet connection. Some drawbacks include predictable AI, uneven driver ratings, and limited Lidar application to only five tracks. Despite minor setbacks, the improved handling model and content-rich offering make it a benchmark for Formula 1 fans, delivering adrenaline, immersion, and fun.
