Despite its limits, Journey to Foundation is a convincing and heartfelt homage to Isaac Asimov's universe. While individual gameplay elements aren't outstanding, their combination creates an engaging narrative adventure with replayability.

Kona II: Brume showcases Parable's growth, adding action and survival horror elements to the walking simulator genre. However, some underdeveloped aspects prevent it from making the leap it deserves. The final result is an intriguing, well-told story with some evident gameplay limits.

In Jusant, climbing is a refined and pleasant mechanic requiring attention and problem-solving. The game world tells a vibrant story with an impeccable presentation, all without words. For some, it will be just a walking simulator, but for others, it will be a full-fledged experience.

Stray Souls is a bad game without any excuses, squandering its interesting premise in minutes. With incomprehensible design choices, a nonsensical script, and buggy gameplay, Jukai Studio's debut is forgettable. A failed horror game on all fronts, unable to create the disturbing atmosphere it aimed for. Maybe next time.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder offers a complete world and character overhaul, with fully redesigned and fluid animations, bringing an innovative touch to the saga in true Nintendo style. The game provides hours of carefree fun, smiles, and amazement, unmatched by most games. If 2D platformers are your idea of fun, this is one of the year's best titles. Extremely varied and fun, both simple and complex, and absolutely recommended. You won't regret it.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1 showcases Konami's decline as a reputable video game publisher. Priced unjustifiably high compared to its actual content, the collection offers no significant improvements over the originals. If the documentary additions are the highlight, something has clearly gone wrong. Wait for a substantial price cut, even if you're a die-hard Snake fan.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged doesn't do much to surpass its predecessor's solid foundation. Apart from the introduction of jumping and car bumping, there's little new. It's a carefree, colorful, and fun arcade racing game, but feels more like an update than a new chapter. Fans of the first game will enjoy it, but those seeking innovation should look elsewhere.

It's odd to say Forza Motorsport suffers from growing pains in its eighth installment, but its new live service nature results in a flat and sterile career mode. However, once on the track, Turn10's work shines, showcasing the pinnacle of simcade gameplay and graphics.

PAW Patrol World is a carefree and fun game that captures the spirit of the popular animated show. Emphasizing teamwork, solidarity, and problem-solving, it's an excellent educational tool for children who will love the digital charm of their favorite characters. Clearly aimed at a young audience, it's a delightful experience for kids.

Dungeons of Eternity is an excellent dungeon crawler, possibly one of the best available for the Meta headset. With good aesthetics, solid combat, and credible physics, its only current limitation is content. The future looks promising for this foundationally strong VR RPG.

Kill It With Fire VR is simple and relies on a basic concept with bizarre methods to achieve its goal. Despite its comic potential, its short longevity and quickly exhausted potential make it a forgettable pastime in the current complex VR landscape.

Endless Dungeon is an excellent game combining action and strategy. A mix of tower defense and shooter elements with good RPG mechanics, it offers a dynamic and artistically inspired experience. While it suffers from some technical issues, hard work can likely fix them soon.

I've played many soulslikes, both good and bad, but Lords of the Fallen is needlessly frustrating and flawed. HexWorks focuses excessively on difficulty, undermining the positive aspects of its level design. Despite innovative Umbral mechanics, the game feels like an anachronism, failing to live up to the genre's refinements over the years.

EA Sports FC 24 isn't the revolution expected with the name change; it's more like FIFA 23 with a new name and menu graphics, and minimal updates across the board. The gameplay remains largely the same: realistic and satisfying offline, chaotic online. Ultimate Team hasn't changed, Club and Volta are sidelined, and only Career mode has made some progress. The main issue, as with many sports games today, is justifying the annual €80 entry fee.

Gazzlers is an on-rail shooter with roguelite elements that may not be revolutionary, but it's incredibly fun and effective. Although it lacks elements that elevate it above other genre representatives, Bolt Blaster Games and Banzai Studios have created a colorful and immediate title that instills the 'just one more' sentiment in players. While the overall variety and power-up management could be better, these minor flaws don't detract from its overall enjoyment. The Machine God awaits you!

Bud Spencer & Terence Hill – Slaps and Beans 2 is a side-scrolling beat 'em up that entertains fans of Carlo Pedersoli and Mario Girotti's legendary films. Unfortunately, Trinity Team focused only on fans of the movies, missing the opportunity to attract a broader audience of beat 'em up enthusiasts with a bit more effort.

Trepang2's tribute to F.E.A.R. is heartfelt but not fully realized. Despite good intentions and similarities, it lacks the AI brilliance that made Monolith Productions' title timeless. The protagonist's resemblance to Crysis isn't fully successful, with effective bullet time but nearly useless invisibility. However, once past initial uncertainties, Subject 106's adventure is a fast-paced, challenging, and fun shooter. While not on par with F.E.A.R., it's still enjoyable.

Darktide for Xbox is an excellent product available at a great price (or even free on Game Pass). Fatshark's significant improvements enhance some core aspects of the game. While the gameplay remains repetitive and has some technical issues, these are acceptable given the launch price. A good cooperative shooter balancing strategy and dynamism, it's particularly challenging at higher difficulties.

Moving Out 2 brings back the hilarious F.A.R.T. movers, ensuring hours of fun for players emptying houses. Although it doesn't offer many gameplay innovations over the previous installment, it's still a solid choice for playing with friends, whether locally or online.

If you've always been curious about the Fate saga but never dared to explore its complex universe, Fate/Samurai Remnant is the perfect entry point. It introduces a new and unconnected story with all the narrative elements of the Type-Moon universe, combined with immediate yet deep gameplay. With an intriguing narrative and plenty of activities, it dispels any fear of approaching Fate. Be prepared to spend time on its visual novel elements, which are only in English.
