8.5 / 10.0 - Marvel's Wolverine
Nov 1, 2026

Marvel's Wolverine delivers a memorable adventure through compelling storytelling, strong character work, and striking atmosphere. While the gameplay lacks innovation and combat repetition sets in during the second half, the excellent narrative, brutal fights, and brilliant character performances more than make up for it. Insomniac's latest may not reinvent superhero games, but it truly understands Wolverine's identity and tells a story worth experiencing.

Toy Story: Retro Roundup is built on nostalgia, not a new story or a modern remake, but a box of memories with the same graphics, controls, and limitations of the past. It revives the classic animation feel and gameplay with touches like an old TV and visual filters. Yes, the stiff controls can be frustrating, but that's part of the old-school charm. Ultimately, its value lies in bringing back an old experience rather than delivering a new one, made for those who want to relive a piece of gaming history.

7.5 / 10.0 - Reanimal
Oct 30, 2026

"Reanimal doesn't fully meet all the expectations placed on the creators of Little Nightmares, suffering from issues like incoherent storytelling, repetitive chase sequences, and recurring bugs. On the other hand, it is completely successful in creating an unsettling world and generating fear and anxiety. If you want to experience a terrifying and anxiety-filled world with a friend over a few nights while enjoying artistic environments, Reanimal is a good recommendation for you."

"While the 30fps cap and frame rate issues are a technical drawback for this port, the ability to experience one of the best action games of all time and engage with the unmatched Nemesis system fully on the go is pure magic that can't be easily overlooked. If you pick this up, you'll be carrying one of the most valuable and longest adventures on Switch 2 in your pocket. Mordor has never been this accessible."

6 / 10.0 - Moros Protocol
Oct 28, 2026

"Moros Protocol is a decent boomer shooter and roguelite that can be entertaining for fans of the genre. However, a shallow story, weak character development, and rough graphics keep it from becoming a memorable title. As a result, its $25 price tag seems a bit steep for what it offers, but during a sale, it can become a worthwhile and enjoyable experience."

7.5 / 10.0 - MotoGP 26
Oct 27, 2026

MotoGP 26 refines rather than reinvents Milestone's formula. The Rider-Based Handling system adds depth, Arcade options make it more accessible, and an enhanced Career Mode improves the overall experience. However, the steep learning curve, inconsistent AI, and weaker presentation compared to bigger rivals remain. For serious MotoGP fans, it's still a deep and dedicated experience, now more welcoming to newcomers than ever.

Toy Story 3: Complete Edition is, above all, a nostalgic and entertaining experience that can still satisfy fans of the series. The gameplay is simple and dated, so don't expect modern gaming standards. If you have fond memories of Toy Story, it's worth your time; otherwise, you probably won't find much reason to play it.

8.5 / 10.0 - Control Resonant
Oct 25, 2026

"Throughout Remedy's history, you won't find any game quite like Control Resonant. With this title, they've created something that could make anyone unfamiliar with the studio fall in love with them. Blending RPG elements with close-quarters, hand-to-hand combat wasn't what we expected from them, and Remedy has pulled it off in the best way possible. While there are weaknesses in the story, it still delivers a clear and purposeful experience."

"A game that perhaps could have shown considerable potential, but ultimately ended up buried under the weight of its own shortcomings."

"It must be said that The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival is a worthwhile title; despite lacking a fresh, new narrative, it manages to carve out a coherent path for itself in its story mode, and its gameplay offers a varied and engaging experience, so much so that the game's pixel art design doesn't feel out of place or inconsistent with The Walking Dead universe and is well received by its audience. While the absence of the Walker Pit mode in the standard edition and the short length of the story for a $20 standard-edition title are undeniable flaws, overall, The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival keeps its audience properly entertained for its roughly two-and-a-half hours of gameplay."

8.5 / 10.0 - Valor Mortis
Oct 22, 2026

William's story and the questions it raises about loyalty, service, and the cost of one's choices, alongside gorgeous visual design and combat that relies on precision and learning, shape an experience worth embarking on. Although the game doesn't reach its full potential in every area, its strengths are significant enough to overlook some of its shortcomings. Valor Mortis is a title that can entertain Soulslike fans while offering them a fresh experience through its distinctive world and unique atmosphere an experience that reminds us that sometimes the price of loyalty is something far beyond human life.

9.5 / 10.0 - Gears of War: E-Day
Oct 22, 2026

E-Day is a major victory and a dream comeback for the studio, Microsoft, and most importantly, Gears fans. Smartly blending the dark, terrifying, and bloody atmosphere of the classic entries with a fully modern gameplay system, smooth animations, and graphics that push the boundaries of this generation, it delivers on every front. Whether you're a longtime fan of Marcus Fenix who misses the sound of a Lancer chainsaw, or a newcomer looking for pure, visceral, and flawless action, E-Day is a title you absolutely shouldn't miss.

Dark Arisen is not just a simple expansion for Dragon’s Dogma 2; it’s the piece that fills in many of the base experience gaps. A package that stands alongside the main game and elevates it into one of the most valuable and complete RPGs of its generation in an adventure that, if you seek a vast, challenging fantasy journey full of exploration, is simply too good to pass up.

8.5 / 10.0 - Crimson Moon
Oct 6, 2026

Crimson Moon is one of those games that may not excel in every aspect, but it performs very well where it matters most: being entertaining. By successfully blending Soulslike and roguelike elements with striking art design and satisfying combat, it delivers an experience worth trying.

9 / 10.0 - 007 First Light
Oct 5, 2026

The very thought that, among all game studios, IO Interactive was chosen to create an adaptation of the 007 franchise is a welcome sign for players. 007 First Light is undoubtedly the best game ever made based on the James Bond stories and one of IO Interactive's finest works. This title is highly recommended for all fans of Agent 007.

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is an experience similar to the first game, attempting to deliver a more modern take with a new art style and a smart item management system. However, issues with the UI, weak level design, and frequent loading times prevent it from reaching its full potential.

Although Steins;Gate RE:BOOT isn't a flawless remake with its simplified text and new art style, it fully preserves the engaging narrative, lovable characters, and the emotional weight of altering reality. This title doesn't replace the 2009 original; rather, it creates a new branch in the series a small change that has given rise to a different yet valuable reality.

Sep 27, 2026

The latest title from Housemarque is a work that shows the development team has managed to bring their exciting and imaginative ideas to life in a fresh setting and fitting atmosphere, culminating in a game like Saros.

8.5 / 10.0 - Crimson Desert
Sep 26, 2026

"Crimson Desert offers a unique world with extensive interactivity, where you can lose yourself in exploration and experience impressive, multi-layered combat. However, even numerous updates haven't brought its weak puzzle design and narrative depth up to a satisfying level.

Lego Batman: The Legacy of The Dark Knight blends sharp humor, excellent writing, rich combat, and a beautifully crafted Lego Gotham into a wildly entertaining experience that shouldn't be underestimated.
