In a market flooded with overly complicated shooters, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 proves that simplicity is often best: a massive enemy horde, a devastating arsenal, and pure freedom. Auroch Digital doesn't reinvent the wheel, but cleverly refines its predecessor with a bigger campaign, a second playable protagonist, and smoother navigation. While it lacks narrative depth or radical innovation, it delivers rich, old-school boomer shooter fun. After decades of blasting monsters, I’ll take mindless digital carnage over complex plots any day. The Emperor protects, the bolter thunders, and I'm ready for some overtime.

Hello Kitty Party Land is one of the most original and charming party games currently available. With co-op play, more than 45 mini-games and plenty of activities across the island, it’s a great choice for children and Sanrio fans alike, offering hours of fun, exploration and customisation, solo or with friends. Party Land is another win for Sanrio and proof that there’s still room for party games made with care. Give it a go!

Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy is a worthy conclusion to a saga that earned its own place in survival horror. Stormind Games skillfully wraps up unresolved plot points with a tense, polished experience. While the sound design and final boss encounter fall a bit short, these minor flaws don't undermine a short, intense trip back to Ashmann Manor. Time has proven that Remothered still had a compelling story to tell—and ultimate justice has been done for the Red Nun.

Ratatan is a welcome confirmation that the classic Patapon formula still has plenty to offer. The return of Hiroyuki Kotani and Kemmei Adachi delivers a spiritual successor that preserves the original charm while adding a solid, if unoriginal, roguelike structure. However, occasional chaos, a less memorable soundtrack, and long-term repetition prevent it from fully realizing its potential. Still, it’s a delightful trip down memory lane that will get your feet tapping once again—even if the magic doesn't quite hit the same heights.

Steins;Gate remains a relevant and well-told series to this day, but I’m still not entirely convinced by this so-called reboot. Some of the visual choices are questionable, the story has been revised and cut based on a version other than the original game, and the UI remains confusing. Despite the additions, this is still a game that has already given more than enough over the years, and once again it lacks an Italian localisation. Recommended for newcomers and those who have no issues with other languages, but if you’ve already played it, I’d wait for a discount before considering a purchase.

Stupid Never Dies" isn't the best action-roguelite out there, but it’s easily one of the most visually distinct and soulful. While repetitive gameplay and minor combat issues hold it back, its vibrant style, absurd humor, and endearing cast make it an unforgettable journey. Honest, passionate, and wildly creative, it may not win Game of the Year 2026, but it will certainly leave a lasting impression. Keep pushing, Davy—love finds a way!

Final Fantasy Resonance proves that looking to the past can be the best way to rediscover a franchise's identity. Square Enix delivers a rewarding JRPG packed with nostalgia, deep combat, and vast exploration. Despite minor narrative flaws and localization limits, it's a triumphant return to classic airships, crystals, and turn-based battles. Sometimes, to move forward, you must remember where you started.

End of Abyss is a partially missed opportunity. Section 9 successfully captures Tarsier’s artistic legacy with a captivating world and atmospheric horror, but the gameplay falls short. Poorly balanced difficulty, bullet-sponge enemies, and tedious backtracking drag down the experience. While these flaws hold it back from greatness, its strong identity makes it a journey worth taking for those willing to compromise.

Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival doesn't revolutionize the survival horror genre, but that wasn't Saber Interactive’s goal. Instead, they aimed to immerse Barker’s lore into a familiar loop and crank the horror to the maximum—a target they hit square on. While unpolished gameplay mechanics, clumsy Puzzle Box powers, and forgettable bosses hold it back from greatness, the experience shines when the Labyrinth opens and the Cenobites return for flesh and suffering. Ultimately, its core appeal lies in exploring how far desire can push us before we pay the price. Hellraiser: Revival reminds us that the real monsters aren't always covered in nails or stitched skin—sometimes, all it takes is a single bad choice to cross the line. And when that line is crossed, you had better have a Lament Configuration on hand, because no one is ever truly prepared for Hell.

Order of the Sinking Star is the Holy Grail for puzzle game enthusiasts who want a game that truly pushes them to rack their brains and think carefully before making their next move. While its high difficulty and lack of hints may frustrate and drive away some players, if you are looking for a genuine challenge and have plenty of time to spare, you certainly will not be disappointed.

Qliphah in Providence's Shadows delivers an interactive graphic novel with RPG combat, blending an evocative art style with gameplay built around dialogue and battles. Arc System Works surprises with a title that is ambitious and original in some respects, but ultimately falls short due to an underdeveloped and unclear combat system, lacklustre investigative sections that require little actual reasoning from the player, and a technical and visual presentation that feels distinctly low-budget. Worth trying, but with your expectations firmly in check.

After 24 years, KINGDOM HEARTS can still evoke the same magic as seeing Sora for the first time, but nostalgia alone doesn't justify buying this collection yet again. Sora remains a constant through shifting console generations and changing lives, but behind this door, there is virtually nothing new. While KINGDOM HEARTS Collection [I–III] is an excellent overview for newcomers, it offers little to returning fans. After countless remasters, it is time to move on from the past and look to the future—hopefully with KINGDOM HEARTS IV.

Control Resonant represents the culmination of Remedy Entertainment’s ingenuity and distinctive style, elevating what we saw in the first Control and taking it to the next level. The possibilities offered in terms of gameplay are numerous and put almost any other title to shame, making you reconsider what a game can offer for a price of €59.99. Get ready, then, for an out-of-this-world experience that, much like what Valve achieved with Portal, will reshape the way you think, encouraging you to consider both space and time, ultimately culminating in one of the most satisfying experiences in recent years.

Dune: Awakening effectively captures the allure and danger of Arrakis, even if it suffers slightly from its split identity. It excels as a co-op survival RPG, though its single-player campaign struggles to shed its multiplayer roots. Funcom makes the experience accessible to non-MMO players, delivering the unmistakable atmosphere of Frank Herbert’s universe. Despite clunky combat and structural flaws that limit its full potential, it remains a compelling return to the desert planet for fans of the franchise.

Ancient Farm is a simple, relaxing farming simulator set in ancient Egypt. While its initial loop and fun ideas are engaging, the game quickly loses momentum due to repetitive tasks, shallow mechanics, and mediocre tech, resulting in weak long-term progression. It is ideal for casual players seeking a quick, stress-free cozy game, but anyone looking for depth and a real challenge will find it lacking.

Adapting the Runescape's universe into a modern action format is a solid achievement for Jagex. It blends the spirit of RuneScape with a compelling loop of exploration, survival, and cooperation; indeed, the quality of this loop—along with the care put into the lore and sound design—is what keeps the score firmly above average. Excessive solo grinding and frame-rate drops during chaotic battles remain the most obvious drawbacks, weighing enough to prevent the game from approaching excellence, yet they do not negate the overall quality of a title capable of pleasantly surprising players.

Garfield: Escape from Monday is a good adventure for anyone who wants to spend time with the character in an accessible, cheerful, and frustration-free platformer. Its greatest strength is that it does more than simply put Garfield on screen: it builds a journey around his habits, his dislikes, and his world. The costumes, the hunt for lasagna, and the cartoon visuals provide plenty of reasons to keep playing through to the end. The controls feel good, and when the game makes room for exploration, it can be genuinely fun. Still, this is a game that almost always takes the easiest route. The levels do not develop their ideas enough, the bosses leave little impression, and the challenge remains low from beginning to end. Customization and collectibles give completionists something to pursue, but they do not add much depth to the campaign. That simplicity is a strength if you are looking for a first 3D platformer or a relaxing adventure; it becomes a limitation if you expect a game that can surprise even seasoned fans of the genre. The result is an experience that knows its limits and makes little effort to push beyond them, yet remains entertaining thanks to its charismatic protagonist and straightforward, accessible design.

MXGP 26 is a promising step forward thanks to its revamped physics and Unreal Engine 5 upgrade. The new riding model offers a deeper and more demanding experience, while the bikes and tracks look considerably better than before. However, the lack of a proper career mode, limited content and some inconsistent physics—particularly on berms and jumps—hold it back. A solid foundation for the series, but one that still feels unfinished.

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve proves the series is still soaring high after three decades. With a strong campaign, engaging narrative, rich aircraft roster, and refined gameplay, it delivers an impressive experience for veterans and newcomers alike. Outstanding visuals and sound elevate every dogfight, and despite a few multiplayer question marks, this is a triumphant return. For anyone ready to take to the skies of Strangereal, takeoff is highly recommended.
