Age of Mythology: Retold takes a long-running, fun, and immediate real-time strategy game and projects it into 2024 with a series of essential, well-crafted innovations and obsessive attention to balance. Some graphical flaws may turn up your nose, and we would have expected some additional narrative content at launch, but these are minor flaws compared to the overall quality of the work.

Witchspring R is a title that offers a wealth of narrative and gameplay satisfaction. A well-crafted story and well-developed characters are paired with gameplay that, while simple and relaxing, never feels overly repetitive or boring. Despite a rather "heavy" ending and the inability to skip dialogues (even in NG+), this game remains an excellent option for anyone who loves the JRPG genre or seeks a relaxing adventure experience.

Enotria: The Last Song stands out with its unique aesthetic and narrative rooted in Italian folklore and theatrical tradition. Despite some technical issues and balancing problems, this title from Jyamma Games offers a solid experience, blending traditional soulslike elements with a plethora of its own mechanics.

Akimbot attempts to bring some nostalgia back to the modern gaming market, but fails to hit the mark with a plot that leaves no impact and easily forgettable protagonists. Although the game is partly saved by well-implemented platforming and shooting mechanics, unfortunately what it leaves the player with is only a sense of disappointment.

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, 13 years after the original, sets a high new standard for video games in the Grimdark universe of Games Workshop. Ruthless, entertaining, and refreshingly straightforward, this title from Saber Interactive will delight both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

A very convincing title in terms of plot and gameplay, albeit with a few technical flaws that the developers will surely resolve on day one. We recommend Caravan SandWitch for a peaceful and quiet new adventure, great for taking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Despite abundant resources and time at its disposal, Concord still ends up being a product with various shortcomings across multiple aspects, from gameplay to technical execution. A promising narrative premise and satisfying character progression are unfortunately overshadowed by gameplay that fails to introduce anything new and by a bland, tacky character design, highlighting how the game seems stuck halfway in its attempt to become a solid hero shooter.

FNAF: Into the Pit is far from perfect, featuring frustrating minigames, unpredictable AI, and various technical issues. However, it manages to steer a stagnant series in a new, exciting direction. With an engaging narrative, excellent pixel art, and evolved gameplay, the title offers a refreshing experience for longtime fans and a compelling way for newcomers to engage with the brand.

CYGNI: All Guns Blazing is an ambitious title that combines exceptional visuals with some innovative gameplay mechanics. However, behind the breathtaking aesthetics, the game suffers from core gameplay issues that can occasionally make the experience frustrating and less engaging than expected.

Creatures of Ava succeeds in proving to be a unique title of its kind, offering interesting insights into the themes addressed and laying a solid foundation for the evolution of a non-violent approach in gameplay. The game world is original and well realised, making the project worthy of attention. However, the title is not without flaws, especially in terms of longevity, due to the repetitiveness of some mechanics, although well conceived. We still recommend keeping an eye on it, especially if you are curious to experience it for yourself.

The lively soundtrack, humor, and art style all contribute to creating an immersive and enjoyable world.

Anger Foot is a solid action title that fully embraces the Devolver DNA, providing enjoyment with its irreverent and zany atmosphere. The fast-paced and dynamic missions are occasionally interrupted by challenges that can be frustrating and not always well-designed.

Endling - Extinction is Forever is a short yet impactful adventure that, despite its extreme simplicity and repetitive gameplay, manages to engage players emotionally through a story told from a unique perspective. Its distinctive, carefully crafted atmosphere pairs perfectly with stunning visuals and sound design. However, the frequent bugs—especially considering the game's brief length—might leave some players disappointed.

Angelstruck as a whole is a project that is both simple and ambitious. While it shows great potential thanks to its premise, strong art direction, and satisfying gameplay, it stumbles in a few easily fixable areas, such as balance, limited build options, and repetitive matches.
