Project Motor Racing shines as a pure simulation, with a credible and rewarding driving model that appeals to those seeking a strict, uncompromising experience. Yet its strong physics and technical detail are undermined by uninspired gameplay, weak AI, and visuals that lag behind top competitors. It will satisfy hardcore sim racing fans, but may leave others wanting a more polished package. Ultimately, it’s a solid testbed for the GIANTS Engine in racing, though still far from challenging the genre’s heavyweights.

Jurassic World Evolution 3 is the natural evolution of Frontier's saga, refining established mechanics and adding fascinating touches like the dinosaurs' life cycles, without daring a revolution in management gameplay. Fans will continue to be enchanted by its creative freedom and longevity, but a generic management fan who doesn't get emotional about dinosaurs risks remaining disappointed again due to somewhat superficial gameplay elements. Ideal for those dreaming of building the perfect Jurassic park, it remains a missed opportunity to aim for the top of the genre.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a 2D beat 'em up that perfectly captures the spirit of classic arcades, enriched by nostalgic pixel art and a cast of iconic superheroes well characterized. The campaign offers an enjoyable experience with a good dose of fan service, which is amplified by the use of co-op play. However, after yet another game of this genre from Dotemu, the need for something new in terms of gameplay begins to be felt, and the Cosmic Swap mechanic alone is not enough to ward off the specter of the typical repetitiveness of the genre. Furthermore, the longevity is rather short and does not help the low replay value keep the game memorable on one’s console after completing the campaign.

Where Winds Meet defies free‑to‑play stereotypes: it’s neither predatory nor a mindless grind, and technically impressive. Despite flaws like missing Italian support and uneven lip sync, its deep combat, artistic care, and activity variety make Everstone Studio’s wuxia adventure a long‑lasting journey worth experiencing—especially for those curious about how Eastern tradition meets modern gaming.

The Last Case of John Morley lives and dies by its script: short, straightforward, and light on gameplay, yet offering a couple of hours of well-crafted noir atmosphere. It doesn’t aim for complex mechanics or technical spectacle, but rather tells an engaging detective story that appeals to fans of the genre. Despite its brevity and lack of Italian localization, its early‑20th‑century London setting delivers a simple yet memorable investigation.

Fear Effect for PS5 is a courageous and respectful return. It isn’t a remake, nor does it try to become something it never was. It’s a modern re-presentation of an experience deeply rooted in its own era, with all the technical and structural limitations that entails, but also with a stylistic identity that time hasn’t been able to erase. It’s a recommended title for those who love discovering or rediscovering cult classics, for players curious about video games as historical and artistic objects, and for anyone who can appreciate noir, cyberpunk, and mystical atmospheres blended with old-school gameplay. It’s less suitable for those who seek modern fluidity, contemporary technical quality, or refined gameplay modes. Overall, Fear Effect remains a fascinating, unique, and bold work, a piece of history worth exploring, as long as you accept the journey for what it is: a leap back into a bygone gaming era.

A.I.L.A. proves to be an ambitious and surprisingly mature project, blending narrative depth with gameplay tension. Pulsatrix Studios dares to center an adaptive AI that shapes fear around the player’s vulnerabilities, building a survival horror that engages with the genre’s classics rather than merely imitating them. Despite some uneven pacing, the result is a coherent and memorable experience for those seeking horror that balances subtle unease with more traditional thrills.

JDM Japanese Drift Master delivers outstanding drifting mechanics, great style, and a strong JDM vibe, making sideways driving genuinely exciting. However, outside of drift-focused gameplay, the experience feels limited, with weak traditional racing modes and long load times. A must-play for drift enthusiasts, but less appealing for those seeking a full racing package.

Despite all sorts of memes, some of which are generally misleading, Black Ops 7 is a good installment in the saga. The experience is generally positive and fun, despite a few flaws and a certain lack of real depth. The most significant new development is undoubtedly the single-player campaign, which is experimental and, conceptually, seems like a decent starting point for further development, albeit plagued by a few uncertainties and questionable technical choices. The competitive multiplayer and zombies modes, while not revolutionized, still offer significant new features as well as a significant amount of content.

Possessor(s) isn’t a genre-defining metroidvania, but it grips you with its dark, stylish world. Heart Machine delivers a satisfying combat system, striking art direction, and a ’90s anime vibe. Despite chaotic progression and some questionable design choices, exploring Sanzu and uncovering Luca and Rhem’s bond remains compelling. Not a masterpiece, but a worthy experience that offers hours of challenge and atmosphere for fans of moody, stylish worlds.

The Berlin Apartment is a small narrative gem that encapsulates a century of history through the lives of ordinary people. Blue Backpack’s work moves, surprises, and invites players to reflect on the weight of memory and the value of change, even when it does so with modest means and a few inevitable technical imperfections.

Syberia Remastered feels at times like a somewhat lazy effort, redeemable more for the merits of the original than for its own. The 3D overhaul highlights the setting and characters without betraying Benoît Sokal’s original spirit, making the game accessible to a new audience as well. However, some technical and design choices are questionable, from the non-remastered cutscenes to a series of issues throughout. There is a lingering sense of disappointment about what this product could have been with a full remake that truly did justice to a timeless classic.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Tidal Titans doesn’t reinvent the genre, but delivers a fun, solid adventure true to the show’s spirit. With silly gags, simple yet effective mechanics, and competent technical work, Purple Lamp offers a pleasant platformer for both longtime fans and newcomers. The lack of Italian dubbing is a drawback, yet the game still provides carefree entertainment and genuine laughs—exactly what you’d expect from a sponge living in a pineapple under the sea.

Sacred 2 Remaster is a blast from the past, at a super affordable price. The aesthetic polish is generally more than acceptable, but the rest of the game naturally suffers from the technical, conceptual, and mechanical limitations of its age. The developers have already released several fixes to smooth out the rough edges of the production, which, of course, remains a small gem from a time, alas, gone by.

Goodnight Universe isn’t about puzzles or complex gameplay, but about telling a story that lingers. Isaac, more than a baby with unusual powers, reflects our fears and fragilities. Despite some technical shortcomings—like missing head-tracking on consoles—the emotional core remains strong. In just four unforgettable hours, the game makes you smile, think, and even tear up, leaving behind that bittersweet feeling only well‑told stories can give.

Space Chef is a mix between a space-themed Stardew Valley and Plate Up! that entertains at first but ultimately fails to hit the mark as it should. Behind a lighthearted and fun concept hides a game that quickly becomes repetitive and limiting, especially in crafting aspects that should be less restrictive. It’s a shame, because the lively art direction and irreverent humor deserved a much better final result.

Dark Atlas: Infernum aims high but stumbles where it matters most: gameplay. The lore intrigues, the atmosphere unsettles, and the sound design impresses. Yet players often fight the game itself more than its monsters. Beneath the frustration lies a clear artistic vision, but only the patient will endure instant deaths, cruel checkpoints, and stamina that rivals an asthmatic sloth. Everyone else is better off staying on the surface and letting the lost souls wander alone.

Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack is one of the best ways to step into the series. It offers three complete JRPGs, a refined alchemy system, and an excellent third chapter that stands out. A few technical limitations persist, but overall it’s a solid and worthwhile package for newcomers.

Football Manager 2026 marks a bold step forward for the series with its new Unity engine, official Premier League license, and the long-awaited inclusion of women’s football. The tactical depth remains unmatched, offering incredible control over every aspect of management. However, technical issues, UI confusion, and missing features at launch prevent it from achieving perfection. Still, it’s the most ambitious and realistic entry yet — essential for dedicated football strategists.
