Although it sits at the lower end of its genre, Laysara: Summit Kingdom offers a pleasant gameplay experience thanks to its beautiful visuals and good music

Resident Evil Requiem is a very good adventure that suffers from uneven pacing and sudden shifts in gameplay styles. The experiment of squeezing two games into one works well enough to be fun, but it’s unlikely to be remembered as one of the best entries in the Resident Evil series.

Sons of Sparta is an interesting departure from the classic God of War games, but in terms of genre it doesn’t stand at the very top of its own pantheon.

Reanimal is an impressive horror adventure that lacks depth and content, which makes it hard to recommend at full price.

It’s commendable to change and refresh your content, but Ride 6 has turned in the wrong direction. It’s far from a bad game, yet there are better alternatives on the market at the moment.

Mario Tennis Fever is the perfect party game if you’ve got a bigger group that loves a bit of friendly rivalry at gatherings. Outside of that setting, it offers too little for those who prefer playing solo within the comfort of their own four walls.

High on Life 2 delivers the same bizarre, fourth wall breaking humor and charismatic talking weapons that made the original memorable, But, it fails to meaningfully improve its mediocre gunplay and plethora of technical issues. While the narrative still entertains with absurd and clever moments, recycled ideas and poor optimization hold it back, making it hard to recommend at full price.

An intriguing mix of several game mechanics that don’t usually go with the tactical genre, but they should! Cutscenes, crafting and building mechanics paired with sublime camera work make Norse a really awesome game, but the technical side shows a lot of small holes that can sink this Viking boat.

Romeo is a Dead Man isn’t a disaster, but it’s not Suda51 in his full form either. You get heaps of style, a few great ideas, and a solid jolt of violence - but once you scratch beneath the surface, the game doesn’t have much to stand on.

More than a sequel, this is a snapshot of Team Ninja learning in real time: a bolder structure and smarter flexibility wrapped around the same razor-tuned combat. The story and presentation still lag behind, but when the rhythm clicks, very few studios hit this kind of action high.

Cairn is a rare journey over unforgiving rock, where each deliberate move blends tension, survival, and subtle storytelling into an intimate yet expansive adventure. The mountain demands patience, careful thought, and adaptation, rewarding curiosity with multiple paths, unexpected encounters, and small but meaningful discoveries. Even as occasional abrupt challenges remind you that no climb is without risk, the game leaves a lasting impression of a world both beautiful and relentless, where every decision carries weight and every reach feels uniquely earned.

With its gorgeous visual style, exciting gameplay and wistful story, MIO: Memories in Orbit can easily stand next to contemporary metroidvania gems.

An interesting game that pays tribute to the original film and delivers a solid retro vibe. It’s a shame it’s so short and doesn’t give you many reasons to say, "I’ll be back."

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond still retains the fun core formula of the series we know from before. However, alongside a few enjoyable new mechanics, it has also picked up some modern flaws in its attempt to keep up with current trends.

Death Howl is an original, creative game about grief, sorrow, and depression. You’ll feel it both in the story and in the combat, sometimes entirely through no fault of your own. Despite its challenges and occasional technical issues, the game leaves a strong impression and is worth experiencing for anyone looking for something different.

Kirby Air Riders delivers an unusual, combat-focused approach to kart racing, offering far more content than you’d normally expect from the genre. Unfortunately, it sometimes throws in a bit too much chaos and explosions, which can be hard to follow with the limited control.

Forget everything you learned in the previous game. Europa Universalis V introduces a deeper, more intricate geopolitical system where your nation feels alive, breathing and evolving with every decision. It’s a world worth inhabiting for anyone eager to take on the challenge - provided you’re ready to invest the time to master its complex mechanics. Those who do will discover one of Paradox’s most ambitious grand strategy experiences yet.

Although the cooperative campaign isn’t worth paying attention to, the Endgame, Zombies, and Multiplayer modes together provide a great experience and more than make up for those shortcomings, making Black Ops 7 one of the freshest Call of Duty experiences in the past decade.

Anno 117: Pax Romana is a complex and demanding strategy game—great news if you thrive on intricate logistics, but less appealing if you’re after a laid‑back city‑building experience in a historical setting.

Much like its superheroes, Dispatch dazzles with story but stumbles in gameplay. Whether that trade‑off works is up to you.
