Ultimately, Anno 117: Pax Romana doesn’t try to change the series; instead, it makes it better by putting it in a time period that brings out its best parts. It is a well-thought-out city-building game that knows exactly what it wants to be: calm but challenging, easy to get into but deep, and based on history without being limited by it.
Dispatch wins because it understands that heroism is logistics, leadership is a style choice, and comedy lands best when it’s grounded in work you recognize.
Battlefield RedSec is a smart, confident BR that respects your time and rewards good teamwork. The gunplay is crisp, destruction is a real tactic, and the circle keeps matches decisive.
In the end, Ninja Gaiden 4 is a thrilling return to a genre that has been slowly dying out in the face of all the action-adventures and Soulslikes that are out now. It’s a thrilling, skill-based game that reminds you of what makes hack-and-slash games so great. And the best part? You get to decide how hard the game is; it’s all up to you.
For fans of old-school beat ’em ups, Absolum is a celebration. For players who grew up with modern roguelikes, it’s a way to get back into a genre that’s older than most of us but still exciting. In any case, it’s one of the best things that happened this year.
In the end, Battlefield 6 is a mix of brilliance and missed potential. On one side, you have jaw-dropping visuals, mind-blowing destruction physics, and thrilling multiplayer gameplay. On the other, a weak and shallow campaign that struggles to hold your attention.
There’s no doubt that this entry refines and improves upon the foundation laid by Ghost of Tsushima, delivering a smoother, more dynamic, and overall richer experience. But despite its mechanical evolution and artistic brilliance, Ghost of Yotei never quite crosses the threshold into masterpiece territory. It remains, at its best, a very good game. Beautiful, ambitious, and deeply enjoyable, but not the genre-defining triumph it clearly aspires to be.
To sum it up, Silent Hill f is far from perfect—but then again, neither were any of the Silent Hill games we hold dear.
For anyone seeking a thoughtful, well-crafted adventure that isn’t afraid to ask big questions through small details, Mai: Child of Ages is an essential experience.
For players intrigued by the Mesopotamian setting and willing to overlook flaws, Blood of Mehran provides an experience unlike most on the market. For everyone else, it may feel like a missed opportunity—a game with a strong vision but inconsistent execution
If you’re a fan of challenging combat, rich atmosphere, and games that respect your ability to figure things out on your own, Katanaut is easily one of the most memorable titles of 2025. It’s not for everyone — players looking for a relaxed or straightforward experience might bounce off its harsh learning curve.
Not only has Supergiant Games made another great roguelike, but they have also made one of the best action games of the decade. It’s not often that every part of a story—like the plot, the design, the sound, and the pacing—feels like it had been intended and earned. If the first Hades was a breakout success, Hades II is the moment the studio ascends to Olympus.
Overall, if you’re already a fan of the series, this remake will feel like a nostalgic celebration worth experiencing. But even if you’re new to the Metal Gear Solid universe, this entry is arguably the best place to begin, both in terms of story and timeline, as well as gameplay depth and attention to detail.
In the end, Silksong is undeniably a good game; One that grew out of what was originally envisioned as a DLC and has now been released as a full-fledged sequel. Yet, the numerous gameplay flaws, both large and small, hold it back from reaching the status of a near-perfect masterpiece like its predecessor.
After a long while, Agent Brain: Tricky Puzzles reminded me of the magic that independent game development can deliver.
With Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, Lizardcube has proven that its success with Streets of Rage 4 was no fluke and that it was the perfect studio to revive one of Sega’s most iconic franchises. Their strong work here gives me hope that we might one day see a full-fledged modern revival of another beloved Sega classic: Comix Zone.
In the end, despite its flaws in physics and graphics, Gears of War Reloaded succeeds as both a nostalgic return for longtime Xbox fans and a welcoming entry point for PlayStation players.
It seems like a wave of Chinese Soulslike-inspired games is flooding the market, and Wuchang is one of them. Much like Wukong, it’s been surrounded by plenty of buzz and controversy.
Sword of the Sea felt like stepping into a living painting. Its distinct art style, which has become Giant Squid’s signature, combined with a powerful and fitting soundtrack, creates moments of pure serenity.
When I played the original Death Stranding, I called it a double-edged sword: you’d either fall in love with it or be unable to survive even a minute. Death Stranding 2, however, moves beyond that divisive framework. It’s designed to appeal to a wider audience, yet without abandoning the core of what made the original so distinctive.
