Nivalis Nights successfully captures an authentic cyberpunk atmosphere, offering a wealth of intriguing stories and vibrant characters. Unfortunately, the frustrating restaurant‑management mechanics, poor staff AI, and artificial progression bottlenecks and quest clutter quickly dampen the initial enthusiasm.

E‑Day is the good old Gears we know, but pushed to its peak. With the best gameplay in the series, an atmospheric story, and an excellent Horde Siege mode, this is the return to form the franchise has been waiting for.

EA Sports FC 27 brings solid improvements to Career Mode and defending, but its long‑standing issues remain, and The Grounds feels more like a test than a true social space for players.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is an intimidatingly large and complex RPG, but once its many systems click into place, it's incredibly hard to put down. Excellent tactical combat, addictive progression, and four stories that come together beautifully make it one of the series' most ambitious entries.

In terms of its atmosphere and story, Townfall is probably the best new Silent Hill in the last two decades. Its gameplay is solid in the first half of the game, but unfortunately later turns into something tiring, uninspired, and repetitive.

Control Resonant boldly turns nearly every pillar of the original on its head while still feeling unmistakably like Control. It isn’t quite as polished as it is ambitious, but that ambition still makes it one of Remedy’s most interesting and audacious sequels.

Halloween is a solid asymmetric horror game buried under a pile of technical issues and general sloppiness. One day it might be worth playing, but right now it’s absolutely not.

Orbitals is like a fun, short anime series you start watching with someone - just when it gets the most interesting, you suddenly realize it’s already over.

Insomniac's Wolverine is a brutal, confident superhero action game that perfectly captures the savage nature of its protagonist while delivering a surprisingly heartfelt story. Despite a few technical issues and repetitive encounters, it's one of the best Wolverine adaptations ever made.

Infinite Rush is a fun and slightly nostalgic game for Hot Wheels fans, and for those who are about to become fans, it’s an ideal gateway into the world of small toy cars.

The Blood of Dawnwalker has its share of scars, but beneath them beats the heart of a bloody good RPG. Its excellent story, convincing world, and meaningful player freedom give it an identity of its own, while Rebel Wolves proves with its very first bite that it has a serious appetite for the genre

Star Wars Zero Company offers an engaging strategic experience, whether through battlefield tactics or extensive management outside of it. It’s just a shame that every positive aspect seems to come with a small drawback.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam suffers from certain issues that will be fixed through patches. Once that’s done, the jungle will become a favorite place to return to because, above all, it still has that team‑driven spirit that made the original so good and enjoyable.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword delivers an excellent combat system and epic boss battles, but its game structure stretches itself unnecessarily, resulting in too much repetition.

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy carries forward the spirit of the series with a strong atmosphere and a compelling adventure, but its new gameplay direction and different approach to mechanics don’t quite reach the level of its predecessors. Even so, it remains a quality spin‑off with enough ideas of its own to justify its existence.

Gallipoli takes us back to the battlefields of the First World War with the series’ most impressive and dynamic audiovisual presentation to date. It brings an expanded arsenal of classes and abilities, but still struggles with the lingering issue of limited content.

Mortal Shell 2 is a great example of a sequel that understands what worked in the original and improves on nearly every part of it. It has its problems, but its combat and exploration can easily stand alongside far more high-profile Soulslikes.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is chaotic and complex, yet still a highly entertaining fighting game with one of the most beautiful portrayals of superheroes we’ve ever seen.

“Beast of Reincarnation has some good ideas, but it keeps spinning them until there’s no life left. The fun combat, original movement and Koo carry the experience as much as they can, yet the recycling and repetitiveness dull this beast’s fangs far too early.
