Outlaws might just be the best game to ever bring the Star Wars universe to life—and possibly one of the best open-world games of this generation. It stands out with its stunning and diverse visual design across the galaxy’s planets, delivering an unforgettable experience. However, the absence of main bosses and the repetition in some story missions held it back from reaching its full potential in the final evaluation.

What’s great about indie titles is that they often bring fresh ideas that are increasingly rare in today’s gaming industry, especially from major publishers. SCHiM might be the latest example proving that new concepts can lead to truly enjoyable experiences—when executed properly. With simplicity and elegance, SCHiM delivers a fun platforming adventure built on creative and original mechanics. We hope to see more of this, though ideally with a higher difficulty level to add a greater sense of challenge.

There’s no doubt that Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II surpasses Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice in most aspects. From its bold take on an emotional story with powerful moments and a unique direction, it delivers an unprecedented level of precision in portraying psychosis. The experience dives deep into the psyche, supported by masterfully implemented spatial audio that enhances the core theme, alongside stunning, hyper-realistic visuals. However, some design choices—along with the lack of innovation in combat mechanics and the repetition of familiar puzzle designs—are areas that could have benefited from more refinement. Overall, Hellblade II is a visually cinematic journey well worth experiencing, though it does feel far too short.

Sand Land stayed true to the original work of the late Akira Toriyama, delivering a faithful adaptation that beautifully brought the manga to life. With a great blend of world design, well-crafted characters, and polished vehicle combat, Sand Land offered an enjoyable experience for manga fans and served as a heartfelt tribute to Toriyama’s legacy—one that may have come to an end on one side, but will forever live on through his creations.

Sony’s gamble on the Korean developer certainly paid off—Stellar Blade is the action hack-and-slash experience we've been waiting for for years. With refined gameplay systems, stunning visuals, an immersive soundtrack, and flawless technical performance, Stellar Blade has not only positioned itself as one of the best action titles of the year, but also as a true gem of this generation—raising the bar for Korean-developed games and drawing global attention to what’s next.

Our journey with Rise of the Ronin was far from enjoyable. Despite the excellent implementation of the combat system and the thrill of its boss battles, the poor graphics and reliance on tired, repetitive level design within a lifeless open world drained any hope we had for the game. Ultimately, it stands out as one of the most disappointing PlayStation exclusives of the past decade.

Hi-Fi Rush broke away from traditional molds to deliver a fun and innovative rhythm-based action experience. Its arrival on PS5 isn’t just a simple port to a new platform—it elevates the game to a whole new level of immersion, thanks to the excellent use of the PS5’s capabilities, especially the DualSense controller. It’s an experience no PS5 owner should miss.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth proves that true masterpieces stand the test of time. Not only has it effortlessly positioned itself as a top contender for Game of the Year, but it may very well have earned a place as the greatest Final Fantasy game ever made.

Skull and Bones isn’t a bad game, but it’s far from exceptional—it’s average at best. While it offers enjoyable gameplay and a uniquely realized pirate world with stunning visual design, it falls short on innovation and lacks the key elements that turn games into truly memorable experiences.

However, as you dive deeper into its world and story, you’ll realise it’s a complete game with unique content, an enjoyable gameplay experience, and a deep, shocking narrative that leaves you both amazed and eager for what lies ahead.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash draws heavily from the anime, which is evident in most of the story’s cinematic scenes. While the music and overall design added a distinctive charm that made parts of the adventure enjoyable, the short story length and the game’s overall ease made its price feel unjustified.

The Valhalla DLC in God of War Ragnarök is far from a filler packed with random challenges — it delivers a remarkable story and epic battles, all within a rich and expansive experience.
