Castle of Heart Retold is certainly a step up compared to the original Nintendo Switch release from 2018, fixing some of the knight's clunkiness and greatly improving the visuals. Unfortunately, it is not enough to make this fast-paced action-platformer shine on a much, much larger library compared to its original release.

The work itself stands as an exceptional endeavor in its purest sense: being rare, anomalous, and manifestly free from compromise in the pursuit of its original vision. For such audacity, it warrants my complete and unconditional respect. Yet, some shortcomings—or, worse, a blatant lack of care in specific aspects of the world building presentation, coupled with an overall simplistic message—make the journey itself more fascinating than the legacy it leaves behind. And frankly, considering the immense potential, this constitutes a fatal flaw that I simply cannot forgive.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is a stunning tribute to the classic JRPG era, brilliantly updated with a unique diorama art style and streamlined gameplay. It balances nostalgia with modern accessibility, making the monumental journey through time more engaging and visually captivating than ever before. This is the definitive way to experience one of the series' most ambitious stories.

Code Vein II is a high-quality sequel, but not perfect. Some game design choices seemed a bit too bold and counterproductive to us, and, as far as we’re concerned, they limited the enjoyment of the title. In particular, we were somewhat disappointed with the level of difficulty balancing, with the presence of numerous almost mandatory “blockades” that you have no choice but to confront.

Thief VR delivers a faithful stealth experience in virtual reality, staying true to the series core mechanics while introducing a new protagonist. Although the gameplay offers multiple approaches and effective stealth design, the combat system feels shallow and repetitive. The narrative includes interesting references to the franchise’s past, but its short length limits emotional impact. Visually and technically, the game shows clear limitations, with unpolished character models and a weak audio presentation. Overall, it’s a competent but unambitious entry that keeps the series alive without fully revitalizing it.

In conclusion, I consider MIO: Memories in Orbit to be an excellent product whose true strength lies in its technical and artistic aspects. The creation of this world that cries out “explore me!” combined with a plot that constantly hovers between the said and the unsaid, piques the player's curiosity in a way that few other titles do. However, there are some critical issues. As analyzed, the lack of diversification in the combat system can become monotonous at a certain point in the story, and the use of the Hairpin is often cumbersome and frustrating. Another critical aspect is what we highlighted as a strength and which, in many cases, can become a major problem: the world of MIO is sometimes very cryptic, often too much so. For those who are not used to games that do not provide any tools to understand where you are and where you are going, this can be a big problem. However, MIO remains a game accessible to most, and that is precisely its goal. However, in trying not to distort its essence, it can sometimes make things difficult for those who are not familiar with this type of adventure. In essence, MIO is an experience that invites you to slow down, observe, and let yourself be carried away. It is a title that rewards curiosity and patience. A solid Metroidvania, which finds its strength in atmosphere rather than pure challenge.

Wreckreation is an ambitious but uneven attempt to revive the spirit of classic arcade racing. While it occasionally delivers thrilling moments of speed and destruction, its unforgiving learning curve, inconsistent handling, and heavy reliance on grind undermine the overall experience. The creative tools and sandbox structure show genuine potential, but the lack of a compelling progression system and meaningful incentives makes it hard to stay engaged for long. In the end, Wreckreation feels more like a promising foundation than a fully realized racing game.

The latest project from Berangin Creative is a journey worth undertaking for anyone who prioritizes the contemplation of visual art over systemic complexity, yet it demands a certain degree of indulgence regarding its sometimes timid narration and stumbling technical refinement. It is a title that warms the heart with its palette but fails to deeply etch itself into the soul, hindered by an excessively linear nature and a ludic structure that struggles to evolve. For these reasons, while remaining an experience endowed with praiseworthy directorial dignity, Kejora stops just short of the threshold of excellence.

Sacred 2 Remaster is an odd one. When the original was released in 2008 it felt like a huge wasted opportunity, a game with an enourmous amount of content marred by just as many bugs and technical problems, and yet I ended up falling in love with its endless exploration and janky combat. Seventeen years later, this remaster should have been the perfect occasion to fix as many technical flaws as possible while mantaining what already worked. It manages to do so, but to a far lesser extent than expected, and the addition of new problems makes it hard to justify the purchase for reasons other than nostalgia or curiosity.

A Game About Digging A Hole is an honest title that doesn't try to be something it’s not (with the exception of that rather questionable stealth section at the end). While technically solid—thanks to the Unreal Engine—the progression feels a bit too linear and uninspired.

Sleep Awake is a captivating game, rich in atmosphere, narratively robust, artistically excellent, and supported by top-notch audio. Its strength lies in its ability to evoke subtle and lasting emotions, rather than in frightening or challenging the player with complex challenges.

We have seen many products featuring animals recently, such as the recent announcement of The Free Shepherd at The Game Awards 2025. My Little Puppy manages to capture the essence of dogs as life companions. The care taken in the representation of behaviors, combined with an emotionally engaging story, makes it a must-have title for those who love these animals. Just as Stray has become the benchmark for games featuring cats, My Little Puppy has all the makings of a game that represents the world of dogs. For those who have lived with a dog—or continue to do so—this game is not just an adventure, but a little journey to that “paradise” Mark Twain spoke of. Because My Little Puppy is not just a game that tells the story of a dog. It is a work that, consciously or not, questions the way humans relate to their animals, and more generally the way they conceive of love, responsibility, and loss. Certain bonds do not need words to be eternal.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, released in 2011, is a generational game, and despite some aspects of the title that show their age (the combat system and bugs that the game carries over with each edition), Skyrim is still a giant in the RPG genre today. The open world boasts a living world where every NPC has a story, an anecdote to tell you, a mission to entrust you with, and lots of information that can be useful to you. It is the perfect example of how a game, even if dated, can still set the standard in the role-playing genre today.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion aims for a revival of classic beat 'em ups, where controlling our favorite heroes through stages filled with threats was enough to leave us in awe. Their take on the theme focuses entirely on the variety of characters and different approaches, both terrestrial and aerial. However, it doesn't offer any additional content that would truly challenge us, placing more emphasis on the level design instead.

Viewfinder arrives on Nintendo Switch 1 (and in backwards compatibility on Nintendo Switch 2) in excellent shape and with very few technical glitches. An experience that, given its overall length and the time it takes to complete each level in a row (barring any temporary crashes), lends itself perfectly to the hit-and-run sessions that the Kyoto-based console guarantees. As for Sad Owl Studios' work, we're talking about a game with an intriguing, bizarre, and crazy concept, with gameplay focused on photography and the geometry of the bodies immortalized in the shots, offering a unique and constantly evolving platforming approach. On the other hand, the story does offer insights into an important theme, but it feels more like a side dish to the core gameplay. If you're looking for a title that will stimulate your brain just right, relying solely on your powers of observation and not on numbers or codes to enter, Viewfinder will certainly satisfy you in this regard.

Terminator 2D: NO FATE is an exceptional love letter to James Cameron's iconic film, masterfully blending authentic arcade action with gorgeous 16-bit pixel art. Bitmap Bureau delivers varied gameplay across multiple modes, faithful recreation of T2's most memorable scenes, and smart expansions to the movie's lore. Playing as Sarah Connor, T-800, or John Connor through meticulously crafted missions feels like experiencing the film through a new lens. With scalable difficulty, multiple endings, and perfect Steam Deck performance, this is the Terminator game fans have waited decades for – a true celebration of the franchise that finally does justice to the source material.

Blue Prince is not a game that seeks to entertain in the traditional sense. It asks for patience, observation, and a willingness to think. Progress comes through understanding, not mastery, and every step forward is earned through deduction rather than skill. Its strength lies in turning a single location into a living puzzle—one that rewards curiosity and persistence with moments of genuine intellectual satisfaction. This is not an experience built for everyone, but for those willing to engage on its terms, Blue Prince offers something rare: a quiet, lasting sense of discovery that stays with you long after you leave the villa.

Man in Black Most Wanted is a fun VR game with a solid writing for Man in Black fans, unfortunately it is rough around the edges and can be unresponsive, but it's overall a good experience, especially for a Quest 3 native game.
