Gennady managed to surprise me. It's one of those indie games that aren't afraid to embrace their own quirks and build an identity around them. It may not be an experience for everyone, especially those who have little patience for punishing games, but for anyone who enjoys challenging roguelites and doesn't mind dying a few dozen times along the way, this journey through an alien factory is well worth it.

Built with passion and a clear appreciation for its influences, The Crimson Hunt delivers an enjoyable indie experience that makes effective use of its references and mechanics despite some simplified design choices and rough edges resulting from its solo development and limited budget. While minor issues are still being addressed through updates, they do little to undermine the overall experience. More than just an entertaining game, it showcases the developer's potential and serves as a promising foundation for future projects, demonstrating how independent creators can deliver quality experiences at accessible prices. The Crimson Hunt is a worthwhile choice for players who appreciate indie games and a testament to the talent and dedication driving the independent gaming scene.

Moadra is an experience that deserves the attention of metroidvania fans, especially those looking for a greater challenge and longing for adventures steeped in sci-fi and body horror. Despite a few missteps in balancing and map navigation, the game excels in its combat, world-building, and boss battles. Gloomsoft delivers an ambitious, fun, and promising adventure that is already establishing itself as one of the most interesting entries in the genre in 2026.

Gears of War: E-Day was a pleasant surprise for me, for XBOX, and for 2026 as a whole. While no Gears game has ever been a disaster, there's no denying that the franchise has been on a downward trajectory since Gears of War 4, struggling to recapture the appeal of the original trilogy. With E-Day, The Coalition has managed to restore the feeling that Gears is once again a flagship XBOX franchise, delivering a high-quality product packed with action from start to finish, meaningful gameplay innovations, breathtaking visuals, and a traditional multiplayer experience, even if there's still room for improvement in some areas.

Dressmaker is comforting and addictive, the kind of game you can spend hours playing without getting tired of it, exercising your creativity and patience. One of the most interesting and unexpected surprises of the year!

With its combination of run-based combat, varied build possibilities, path choices, and a strong Afro-Brazilian visual and cultural identity, Talaka's preview presents an experience that seeks to use the familiar structure of roguelikes to build something of its own, placing elements of Brazilian culture at the heart of its identity.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is an ambitious game packed with content that delivers some of the series' best tactical battles. On the downside, the sheer volume of tasks and the repetitive nature of the gameplay might deter some players. The lack of Brazilian Portuguese localization is the main issue preventing it from being perfect. If you have the time and patience, and speak English, FE:FW is easily one of the best games on the Switch 2 right now and a real treat for fans of RPGs and Fire Emblem.

Duskfade knows exactly what it wants to be. It doesn’t try to reinvent 3D platformers, but rather takes a familiar formula, updates some of its ideas, and makes the experience worthwhile once again. Although it has a few rough edges that could have been better polished, Duskfade was a great adventure, delivering that nostalgic feeling reminiscent of the PlayStation 2 era.

MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls is proof that it’s still possible to reinvent the wheel in an established genre. The shared health bar completely changes the way you think strategically during a match, while the assist and tag mechanics are packed with nuances. The story mode, despite being tied to the genre’s traditional formula, stands out thanks to its comic-book presentation and different artists for each team. The extra modes are there for some temporary fun, the roster could be larger, and the Portuguese voice acting, while inconsistent, is a fantastic gift to Brazilian players. In the end, Tokon’s issues are minor compared to an extremely solid, creative, and addictive experience. If you’re a Marvel fan, a fighting game fan, or both, Tokon deserves your full attention.

Marvel’s Wolverine had all the ingredients to deliver an interesting experience. However, by the time the final credits roll, you’re left with the feeling that the project’s full potential was never realized. Combat is the game’s strongest aspect, especially thanks to its brutality, but the lack of variety in combos and camera issues make encounters repetitive. The narrative feels drawn out, the characters are misrepresented, and Insomniac underestimates its audience’s intelligence by guiding them from beginning to end throughout the entire experience. Marvel’s Wolverine isn’t a bad game, but it fails to reach the level expected from the studio, ending up as just another bland game among so many others.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is one of the most interesting experiences of 2026. Whether you’re a fan of vampires or simply an RPG enthusiast, Rebel Wolves’ title has everything it takes to entertain all kinds of audiences, delivering a serious and mature story, an incredible world to explore, and razor-sharp gameplay, all built around its deep choice system that shapes the experience. With the confirmation that a follow-up is already in development, I’m rooting for the success of the Dawnwalker Saga. Here’s hoping we get a modern-day Coen!

Divinum wins players over through the sheer feel of playing it, delivering combat that's fast, responsive, and satisfying through mechanics that allow for different ways to approach each situation. That said, the variety of moves and abilities could be greater, and the game also lacks more freedom in exploration and extra combat content that truly adds to the experience.

Kusan: City of Wolves is a fast-paced neon-noir action game inspired by Hotline Miami, putting players in the role of Jin, a former soldier turned hitman in a city inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, as he delves into a dark story involving gangs, biological weapons, and personal mysteries. Featuring a visual style defined by motion comics and 1990s influences, an art direction crafted by renowned artists, and a vibrant hip-hop and electronic music soundtrack, the game combines an investigative narrative, morally ambiguous characters, and intense gameplay that demands quick reflexes and varied strategies, delivering a brutal, stylish, and immersive experience that celebrates influences from pop culture, comics, and cinema in a high-quality product for hardcore gamers.

Beast of Reincarnation is a bold step outside Game Freak’s comfort zone, and much of what works here showcases a genuinely talented studio trying something new. The problem is that the experience as a whole is held back by decisions that undermine its potential: a narrative that takes too long to get going, an excessive reliance on recycled bosses, repetitive environments, and PC optimization that still needs some work. It’s a game with genuine moments of brilliance, but they’re surrounded by quite a bit of padding, repetition, and a constant sense of “almost there.” It’s worth checking out for fans of the genre who are willing to overlook some missteps, but it falls well short of being the definitive leap Game Freak may have been looking for beyond Pokémon.

Infinitevania is a homage made by fans for fans, a metroidvania that understands its references, respects its inspirations, and delivers a fun, charismatic experience. With that, the game shows a lot of potential and reinforces that Brazil has the talent and creativity to craft adventures capable of winning over players beyond our borders.

Flesh Made Fear is a classic survival horror developed by Tainted Pact and funded via Kickstarter, resurrecting the essence of the early Resident Evil games and the works of horror masters like Romero, Cronenberg, and Lovecraft. With retro aesthetics inspired by the fifth console generation, fixed camera angles, and tank controls, the game blends action and horror in a story where the R.I.P. squad confronts scientist Victor Ripper and his grotesque creations in the city of Rotwood. Despite minor flaws in camera transitions, the title stands out for its nostalgic art direction, varied arsenal with strategic resource-management mechanics, challenging puzzles, and multiple endings that encourage replay. Packed with references to trash cinema and classic horror, the game delivers an engaging and creative experience, cementing itself as a solid and enjoyable option for genre fans.

Whether you are a fan of skateboarding games or simply someone looking for innovative and surprising experiences, Denshattack! is one of the must-play games of 2026.

Even in Early Access, Cursemark already showcases a strong identity, driven primarily by its highly flexible and deep build system. The combination of runes, blessings, and talismans encourages constant experimentation, while the excellent level design rewards players who take the time to explore. If it maintains its current pace of development by expanding its variety of runes, talismans, bosses, and further developing its narrative, Cursemark has the potential to become a standout within the genre, offering a compelling experience for fans of ARPGs, roguelites, and soulslikes.

SoulQuest knows exactly where it shines and puts all of its efforts into that. Combat is the game's biggest highlight, successfully capturing the essence of hack and slash titles. However, it stumbles in areas such as level design, platforming sections, and early-game balancing. Even so, SoulQuest is sure to please fans of stylish combat and deep combo systems, making it an experience well worth checking out.

Ground Zero may not be the most original survival horror game you'll ever play, but it is certainly one of the titles that best understands the essence of the genre. It looks to the past with respect while still introducing improvements that make it more enjoyable by modern standards. Despite its pacing issues, some questionable design choices, and a difficulty curve that loses momentum toward the end, its atmosphere, exploration, and commitment to classic horror make it an experience that any fan of Resident Evil, Silent Hill, or Dino Crisis should check out.
