If you're looking for an accessible metroidvania with intriguing storytelling and world-building, Rusty Rabbit is worth a try. The futuristic, snowy adventure of Stamp offers a well-blended mix of elements, even if it doesn't revolutionize the genre. While not impressive in level design or groundbreaking ideas, and with some minor progression flaws, it stands firmly over its roughly 16-hour playthrough. Ultimately, it's an honest and enjoyable game available at a very affordable price for what it delivers.

WWE 2K25 is a chapter that lives in the shadow of its predecessor. After the major step forward taken with 2K24, Visual Concepts has chosen to play it safe, limiting themselves to small refinements and a few side additions that hardly justify upgrading to the new installment—especially for those still holding on to last year’s game. The gameplay is solid but almost unchanged, the new modes struggle to find a clear identity, and where the game tries to innovate — see The Island — it does so in an intrusive and clumsy way, with an increasingly aggressive microtransaction system, while Showcase and MyRise take a clear step backwards. The result is a game that can entertain, but fails to excite. A more of the same that will satisfy the most die-hard fans… but may disappoint those expecting something bolder and more impactful.

Star Overdrive presents itself as an interesting and at times bold game, blending different genres with the ambition of creating something original. Caracal Games' title manages to offer some enjoyable moments thanks to a solid combat system and well-designed dungeons, but it falls short due to an underwhelming narrative, a frustrating progression system, and exploration that often feels tedious.

Underdogs is a brawler enriched with well-crafted RPG elements, offering a thrilling and immersive experience. Its standout feature is the highly engaging combat system, which effectively conveys the brutality of the battles in the Neo Brakka arena. However, the sections between fights rely heavily on randomness, which may overshadow the gameplay during runs. With the addition of a challenge editor and solid replayability, Underdogs is undoubtedly a highly recommended title in today's gaming landscape.

Andy Warhol once predicted the famous 15 minutes of fame, but Mullet MadJack needs only 10 seconds to win over players. Despite its simple and straightforward concept, HAMMER95's work captivates with entertainment and near-perfect balance. The narrative layer adds charm, even though it might initially seem superficial. The result is a bold, unconventional, and delightfully psychedelic FPS, hindered only by repetitive level layouts and the inherent randomness typical of roguelikes.

South of Midnight may not be the ultimate breakthrough for Compulsion Games, but it stands as their most solid and successful work so far. This well-crafted adventure balances platform and action elements, supported by strong gameplay mechanics. However, its progression remains somewhat formulaic, its construction conventional, and its mechanics highly derivative. Despite these shortcomings, the game delivers enjoyment in every aspect. Exploring the bayou with Hazel offers delightful surprises, particularly from a visual standpoint, showcasing that Compulsion Games is on the right path.

Promising start for Pollard Studio? Judging by the results of Karma: The Dark World, the answer is yes. Daniel's adventure hits the mark with engaging writing and an intriguing, oppressively dark game world. While the story captivates, it falters a bit near the end. The gameplay, though simplistic and predictable, flows well with the progression. Visually and in terms of direction, the debut from the Chinese studio shows potential despite some signs of inexperience. The foundation laid is promising for future projects.

Much like Hazelight Studios' previous titles, Split Fiction left us nothing short of impressed, thanks to its varied gameplay and a technically refined presentation. This time around, Mio and Zoe dive deep into their own imagination, in a game clearly crafted for a more experienced audience. It’s fast-paced, intense, and at times downright unforgiving, punishing even the smallest misstep. A bit of frustration is to be expected. The game demands razor-sharp reflexes and a high level of coordination and understanding between players. But despite the difficulty spike, we genuinely believe the experience is more than worth it.

If I had judged solely based on the demo, I would have regrettably overlooked a well-crafted and enjoyable game like AI Limit. The developers at SenseGames demonstrated their attentiveness to player feedback, delivering an intriguing soulslike experience with its own identity. The game features a well-designed and entertaining combat system, paired with a unique and inspired setting. While the technical aspects fall somewhat short, the gameplay progression is balanced and captivating. For those who tried the demo, forget your impressions and give the game a shot—you might be pleasantly surprised, as I was.

Does everything change just to stay the same? Not quite. While Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land by Koei Tecmo and Gust serves as a great entry point to the series, the simplifications and innovations introduced seem to have stripped it of its essence. Despite being enjoyable and well-crafted, the game feels more generic and similar to other titles in the genre, rather than a noticeable evolution of the Atelier world. The streamlined alchemy and resource management may disappoint the more die-hard fans, who might not resonate with what appears on screen. It's a shame because the core structure is solid, and the game is fun to play. However, these so-called accessibility improvements have diluted the gaming experience to the point where, had it been called something else, perhaps no one would have noticed the difference.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the culmination of years of evolution in the saga, blending refined action/RPG gameplay with one of the series' most captivating settings. The contrast between Naoe and Yasuke offers distinct playstyles, encouraging variety and experimentation. Stealth mechanics are more polished than ever, while combat, though not as deep as a pure action game, remains fun and well-balanced. Feudal Japan is recreated with exceptional detail, thanks to top-tier artistic direction and a solid technical foundation, benefiting from the departure from old consoles. The seasonal cycle isn’t just aesthetic but adds meaningful gameplay dynamics, keeping exploration engaging. However, some concerns remain. The Animus Hub feels more like an unfinished concept than a true revolution, and the modern-day storyline risks becoming secondary again. Some design choices, like character switching, could have been smoother. Overall, Assassin’s Creed Shadows delivers an immersive experience that will satisfy longtime fans eager for this setting within the series' lore, as well as newcomers drawn by its Eastern allure.

While EXOcars can't replace Motorstorm in my heart, it's undeniably carved out its niche. Though not exceptional in terms of gameplay offering (at least for now on PSVR2), the game is a great virtual dive into the world of arcade racing. Well-crafted and, above all, incredibly fun to play, the title by XOCUS shines especially on Sony's headset thanks to its steering wheel support. Regardless of this feature, if you're looking for an easygoing, stress-free racing game, EXOcars is highly recommended for some thrilling rides.

One-third tradition, one-third evolution, one-third innovation—that's the mantra of Firaxis Games. Civilization VII follows this philosophy, refining gameplay mechanics while introducing bold new features that reshape each match. Though the minimalist UI has some drawbacks, the series has always evolved post-launch through updates and expansions. The game balances accessibility for newcomers without alienating longtime fans, staying true to the "just one more turn" spirit.

Monster Hunter Wilds revitalizes its followers' faith by creating an engaging and thrilling game world. While not perfect, the fun and adrenaline it provides are comparable to few other titles. If you're on the fence about buying it, we highly encourage you to try it. Join the 8+ million people who have already purchased the game in its first weeks of release, and get ready to spend countless hours hunting monsters and mastering the (exhausting and numerous) game menus. It may not be the most pleasant experience, but it will be worth it.

With Suikoden I&II HD Remaster, Konami brings to current generations and all nostalgic players a pair of JRPGs that are still fresh and fun nearly 30 years after the original debut. While some gaming era quirks can be overlooked, the remastering work by the Japanese company is quite (too) minimal. The graphics and sound have been slightly cleaned up, but there are no additional improvements to impress both old and new players. At least it's offered at a reasonable price, considering what it costs to get original copies. However, a bit more effort from Konami would have been reasonable to expect.

PGA Tour 2K25 improves on its predecessor with better graphics and more content. However, the absence of key players and some menu navigation issues hold it back. The new control system is intriguing but demands patience, while diverse modes and cross-play integration make it a strong choice for virtual golf fans.

"Audentes Fortuna Iuvat" is not only Henry's motto, but it should also be that of the Warhorse Studios team, given the results achieved with this epic saga. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a majestic work and a natural evolution of the first chapter. In an era of overly similar video games, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a breath of fresh air with its realism and medieval simulator essence.

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is an affordable compilation that fans of Lara Croft will appreciate, making old games modern and accessible. While the aesthetic and technical upgrades improve the original experience for contemporary audiences, the compilation highlights the conceptual limits of a minimal remaster. These games, with their inherent flaws and "spiritual" antiquities, are likely to be fully enjoyed only by nostalgic players, making it challenging for younger audiences to fully appreciate these historic works of the gaming industry.
