A monumental RPG that still deserves respect, but this so-called enhanced edition does little to honor its legacy. A return made for veterans, not newcomers.

Are you truly ready to take responsibility for your actions? This is the question raised by S.p.l.i.t, and it also serves as a perfect demonstration of what a single visionary mind can achieve when blending aesthetics, coding, and soundtrack. Mike Klubnika crafts an alienating work that is almost impossible to judge by modern video game standards — completely outside of current norms, time, and logic. Short, intense, disturbing, and eloquent in its minimalist silence. A product capable of completely disorienting the player, perfect for those seeking something truly different.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is a truly entertaining title, capable of bringing back a genre that had fallen into oblivion. A game rich in possibilities and hilarious moments, in which the player's skill is the central focus of the experience. There are many characters, and the customization and creation options are almost endless.

In just under two hours, Dear Me I Was delivers a profoundly moving and artistic narrative experience without a single word, proving that brevity and visual storytelling can leave an indelible mark on the soul. It's a poignant journey through the nuances of a human life, masterfully crafted to resonate universally.

Demon Slayer The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a more of the same that will please fans who enjoyed the first game. The story mode is certainly the strong point of this chapter, but I must admit that I would have expected more variety, especially in the exploratory phases which are rather slow and monotonous. The combat system remains solid, striking a good balance between fun and variety. It clearly doesn't aim to be an extremely competitive title, but it still manages to be more entertaining than you'd expect from an arena fighter. A few additional modes to further explore the gameplay wouldn't have hurt.

A brilliant return to its roots for the most iconic ninja saga in gaming.

It's truly difficult to give Pokémon Friends a solid positive review, especially given the high retail price compared to the offerings the developers have put forward. And the mobile version suffers the most, as it has too many progression limitations in the free version alone. The activities, while fun, become repetitive over time, which affects progression. At least, collecting Pokémon in the form of plush toys and the variety of puzzles are the only positive aspects, even if the latter might seem very simple to solve to an experienced puzzle gamer, unless the difficulty is increased. It remains to be seen in the long run whether Pokémon Friends will be able to introduce, with any future updates, something that will engage the audience, providing at least a minimal incentive to continue. Given the current state of things, Pokémon Friends doesn't do enough to earn a good rating, though it certainly isn't a complete failure.

Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy offers a soft and whimsical take on the dungeon crawler genre, but fails to deliver meaningful depth or challenge. Its charming art anc cozy atmosphere are overshadowed by overly simple combat, shallow progression, and repetitive dungeon. A nice distraction at best, but hardly memorable

A truly wasted opportunity, the art direction of this game and even the plot had a lot of potential, but everything comes down when the gameplay is only a walking simulator, and the whole game ends in less than 3 hours.

Killing Floor 3 is a solid return to form, great fun with friends, but less engaging solo. It still needs more content variety to truly shine.

Somber Echoes is, by all means, a good metroidvania and a good game, bringing the player into a well designed world that combines sci-fi elements with Greco-Roman mythology. It's just that, after exploring the halls of its doomed spaceship and meeting gods and reality-bending entities, it cannot seem to take the final step to excellence.

Neon Abyss 2 is an unapologetically intense roguelike that cranks everything up from the first game. It adds an arsenal of wild weapons, evolving pet mechanics (Hatchmons), and a strategic Faith system that shapes each run. The new 4-player co-op mode injects pure multiplayer chaos, elevating the whole experience. Visually sharper and content-packed it’s a delirious, fast-paced explosion of color, combos, and challenge. However, it’s not for the faint-hearted: heavy RNG, overwhelming systems, and a brutal pace can frustrate. Some bosses feel reused, and the sheer volume of features might drown less experienced players. If you’re into hectic roguelikes with absurd build potential and nonstop action, Neon Abyss 2 is a wild, worthy ride. Just don’t expect mercy.

In summary, The Drifter offers accessible yet not simplistic gameplay, where every interaction serves to heighten the atmosphere and support the narrative. It stands as proof that, in an era when graphic adventures seemed destined to remain a nostalgic memory, titles like this one mark a vibrant revival of the genre, especially within the indie scene. The protagonist is a tormented man, closed off from the world, a prisoner of his own ghosts and haunting regrets. He is portrayed with remarkable depth: hopeless, crushed by past mistakes, and reluctantly forced to start over. It’s a surprisingly intimate portrayal for a graphic adventure that is just as surprising, beautiful, and absolutely unmissable.

Donkey Kong Bananza is an outstanding game, and it has the potential of redefining its genre. The game not only fulfills the high expectations we had after the preview but excels in delivering an unforgettable experience through its masterful blend of narrative, exploration, and refined gameplay mechanics. This meticulous attention to detail across all facets, from level design to character interaction and dynamic environments, makes Donkey Kong Bananza a triumph for Nintendo, and real killer application for Nintendo Switch 2.

Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is a focused and elegant stealth experience that values planning over action. It doesn't try to reinvent the genre but succeeds in delivering a cohesive, immersive, and emotionally grounded game. If you enjoy tension over spectacle, this one deserves your attention.
