The Precinct offers solid entertainment in chasing criminals and delivering justice through action-packed pursuits. However, the majority of its content is revealed right at the beginning of the game, making it easy to experience fatigue from repetition, which is definitely not helped by an uninteresting narrative.

With its textbook approach, this year's edition made it clear to beginners that MotoGP games are not to be taken lightly. Playing it safe, without too much risk, it delivered an enjoyable product worth playing, especially for those who are not regular virtual motorcyclists.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is one of those games that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but that’s part of the charm. It’s got all the weird alien worlds, over-the-top corporate satire, plus a bunch of bizarre creatures to scan, catch, or just blow up if they get too annoying.

RTS has returned in a beautiful form, reminding us of the golden era of this genre. The single-player campaign of Tempest Rising might not be memorable, but the classic multiplayer is here to keep you engaged.

The fusion of soulslike action and metroidvania-style exploration isn’t really a new thing, but every aspect around the core gameplay helps Mandragora to stand out as something truly special. Great visuals and audio, a very polished technical state, and a reasonable price make this a game you won’t want to miss.

Freedom in problem-solving is the main feature of Atomfall, which nonetheless lacks a bit more originality and risk. Despite an interesting world and engaging story, the other elements of the game are not something that will be remembered for long.

The Karma Dark World is a well-optimized and visually stunning horror game that still fails to sufficiently distance itself from its influences.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii pushes the boundaries of the term "quirky", even for its own standards. It's just a shame it doesn't make better use of the entire pirate setting for an unforgettable sea experience.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows doesn’t change the rules of the game, but it showcases the series in its best form yet. Feudal Japan fits it like a glove, and the balance between stealth and action has never felt more natural. With a carefully crafted world and thoughtful mechanics, the blade of this series is sharp once again.

Two Point Museum successfully places us in the role of a museum curator, and a pretty wacky museum at that. It is sure to bring you a lot of hours of carefully filling it with very imaginative exhibits.

It's an metroidvania game alright. Not a bad one, but not a great one either.
