Another shot to the Resident Evil formula that is not perfect but yes enjoyable.

Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes understands very well what makes Little Nightmares special: its atmosphere, its sense of helplessness, and that constant danger that seems to follow you at every step. It is brief and narratively light, but also an immersive experience. [Recommended]

MotoGP 26 is a clear step forward for the series. It is not revolutionary, and some modes still need more depth, but Milestone has improved what matters most: the riding. Better physics, more intuitive handling, stronger wet-weather racing and dynamic climate make it far more enjoyable than last year’s game. [Recommended]

Aphelion is a deep, personal space story that trades action for a great mystery. A quiet and atmospheric adventure held back by its simple mechanics.

An interesting deconstruction of Lovecraftian horror that nails the atmosphere, but is ultimately held back by repetitive levels and technical bugs.

If you liked Returnal, I’m sure you’ll love Saros too. It is a very similar experience, so it doesn't have that same element of surprise anymore, but it is much more fast-paced, "on steroids", and filled with smart design choices that give it better balance and flow.

Pokémon needed a separate, dedicated platform to manage its competitive scene, and Champions is the answer we’ve been demanding for years. It’s a fantastic world—easily one of the most thrilling experiences when it comes to turn-based combat. From a design perspective, it delivers where it truly matters; however, it also carries inexcusable technical issues and certain rough edges that make building a top-tier competitive team more of a chore than it should be. [Recommended]

Tomodachi Life on Switch is the most batshit thing Nintendo has ever pulled off. A game that checks every box for being the most controversial, cancellable experience imaginable — and it comes from the most buttoned-up, straight-laced company in the industry. On a mission to drag out the humor lurking in the darkest corner of your brain, this social life sim manages to bring out the worst in all of us just to deliver the best: the hardest belly laugh you'll ever crack while playing a video game. [Recommended]

Despite a lack of major innovations, Midnight leans on the great legacy of the Warcraft universe to create a game that is enjoyable from start to finish. While the story isn't as tightly woven as in previous expansions, it knows exactly how to tug at the heartstrings of veterans while keeping interest high in this endless war against the forces of the Void. [Recommended]

Mouse: P.I. for Hire had a strong premise back when it was just a viral tech demo, yet it far exceeded our expectations by the time we got our hands on it. It's your average boomer-shooter with almost the exact same arsenal as Doom, except its level design is as charming and imaginative as its bosses, the performance is superb and there's just so much genuine well-doing in every little nod an piece of animation. If you're a hardcore quick-swapping speedrunner you might find it a bit 'meh' but other than that you will love it like it's a friend. [Recommended]

Replaced is an indie that delivers on its promise: a solid narrative adventure with a well-crafted cyberpunk world and outstanding visuals. It’s not perfect, but when it fully comes into its own, it offers an intense, immersive experience with a meaningful message. [Recommended]

Everything in Pragmata is fun, from the encounters with these robots to the constant progression and upgrades for weapons and abilities back at the shelter. You won’t want to stop revisiting areas to uncover every single secret in every level. [Recommended]

If you can forgive its initial narrative rough patches and let yourself be swept away by that 'old-school' curiosity in the vein of Skyrim, you’ll discover that Pearl Abyss’s project has a lot to offer. It features an open world that, against all odds, manages to prove that sometimes, you actually can bite off more than you can chew and still come out on top. [Recommended]

Legacy of Kain: Ascendance is a strange game that, honestly, I’ll remember more for its controversial story than for what it brought to the table in terms of gameplay. It’s clear the title serves as a bridge to try and revive the franchise, and adapting the events of the Dead Shall Rise comic is an interesting choice to explore Raziel's long-awaited vampiric past. However, as a game, it feels underwhelming. It features a 2D action-platforming mix that is far too simple and suffers from repetitive environments, even with the addition of three playable characters. It’s not a bad game, but it reminds me of those classic 90s movie tie-ins: attractive because of the license, but lacking any real inspiration in their design.

Super Meat Boy 3D is surprisingly consistent with the 2010 release, with the leap to 3D being its major new feature. While this causes it to lose some of its original brilliance, it still delivers a solid experience. The control precision is insane, the levels are incredibly varied, and it still manages to make us die 100 times without feeling frustrated. Some levels suffer from camera issues and the final stretch might be less engaging, but even so, it’s one of the best platformers I’ve played in a long time. [Recommended]

A chapter that gives to the fan exactly what the fan wants; at least, theoretically.

Darwin's Paradox is one of those games that, without reinventing the wheel, knows exactly how to play its cards right. The platforming manages to be challenging without feeling suffocating, the puzzles are simple enough that you never get frustrated, and even exploring the world for collectibles takes both the jumping and the puzzles a step further than what you typically experience throughout the rest of the adventure. [Recommended]

Greedfall: The Dying World is one of those games that demands patience and a lot of willpower on your part. Spiders has tried to bite off more than they could chew, creating a title with an incredibly slow start and tactical combat that never quite clicked with me. I miss the 'immersive sim' identity of the first game; here, they’ve opted for something more conventional, coupled with optimization issues and bugs that can really break the immersion. Yet, despite all that, I can't deny that the world is well-built. It has that classic RPG charm, reminiscent of Dragon Age: Origins, where you can get lost in its cities, talk to your companions, and soak in its political nuances.

Disciples Domination has all the ingredients to be a great strategy RPG. The problem is that its combat becomes slow and tedious far too early.

Screamer is a bold and different arcade racer. Its driving system is original, demanding, and fun, making the races a true spectacle. However, the story doesn’t live up to its ambition, and the game modes didn’t fully convince me. [Recommended]

Divisive as it might be, Marathon is an incredibly polished product that ultimately brings the genre into maturity thanks to its ideally sized maps, flexible matchmaking, deep and satisfying combat and (perhaps most importantly) rich endgame system full of both short term and long term goals for the whole season. Game has you building up some quality loadouts, then wasting it all on unfortunate runs and not giving a damn about it since you'll be back in stock in no time. Great gameplay loop overall... if you have the patience to learn it. [Recommended]

I considered Super Mario Bros. Wonder to be a perfect game, right up until I played the Nintendo Switch 2 version. It comes highly recommended, though specifically as a cooperative experience to enjoy with friends. [Recommended]

Honestly, I don't fully understand what the developers of 1348 Ex Voto were trying to achieve with their game. It seems more concerned with telling a story—one that ultimately doesn't work—than with creating a fun game. Visually, it's very well done, but the numerous minor graphical glitches, its dizzying camera work, and its clunky, unpolished gameplay mean it doesn't stand out in that regard either. The progression systems are mere window dressing with minimal impact on gameplay, and its length is excessively short, even for the genre it belongs to. Except for the most curious, it’s not a game worthy of much attention. [No recommended]

Gear.Club Unlimited 3 is an arcade racing game with good ideas, attractive environments, and an interesting progression system built around managing your club. However, poor AI and a very weak technical performance on Nintendo Switch 2 ultimately drag the experience down.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is quite enjoyable and brings some much-needed new ideas to the genre. I loved the gunplay, the open-world maps and the vehicle system. However, the whole game is dragged down by its lack of content and repetitiveness. It’s a shame, as the fundamentals to build something truly great are indeed there.

A good moment to discover Fatal Frame saga. [Recommended]

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is an excellent game overall. Its slightly more mature approach to storytelling is a good fit for a shonen-esque product, but its most brilliant feats belong in the gameplay side. Exploration gets more interesting by the minute, and combat has so much identity and depth it's barely akin to any other modern JRPG. [Recommended]

WWE 2K26 manages to maintain excellence, even if it does so by assuming that it will be a familiar experience with no surprises. [Recommended]

Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf is a solid sequel and a more complete experience than the original. It expands on its mechanics, offers greater variety, and builds a richer world, but its conservative approach ultimately prevents it from making the decisive leap forward. [Recommended]

A brand new Paranormasight tale begins in Ise-Shima, Japan - a region rich in mermaid legends. Join a cast of fascinating characters investigating the mysteries of the Mermaids of Ise. [Recommended]

Pokémon Pokopia is what happens when you let other creatives breathe new life into an increasingly worn-out formula. It's fresh, innovative and addictive, yet without losing the essence of what has been drawing millions of fans for years — and along the way, it manages to pull in those of us who got left behind. [Recommended]

Entropy Effect X offers, through a powerful license, an explosive and fun mix of rogue dynamics with fighting game elements. [Recommended]

A good metroidvania with a great world design. Exploring it feels rewarding, but a very simple combat style and irregular art keep him away from Olympus.

Another amazing old school adventure game with a great puzzle design, a beautiful design and interesting story. [Recommended]

The real (and well done) Little Nightmare 3, but too familiar. Despite that, you need to play it for the art style, its monsters and a few memorable terror moments. [Recommended]

Resident Evil Requiem is two games in one, and both are among the best you're going to see in 2026. It perfectly combines the horror of Resident Evil 7 with the action of Resident Evil 4. [Recommended]

It does not change nothing in the genre but its a superb metroidvania charged with feelings. [Recommended]

GameExcite not only shows its love for Star Trek: Voyager with this game, but also its respect for it, offering an outstanding survival and exploration experience, just like the hardships the crew had to endure during its seven-year journey home. It's not a perfect game; there are elements of its interface and mechanics that could be improved, and it can make you want to tear your hair out at times, but the feeling you'll have when you finish it will be just as emotional, if not more so, than what the ship's crew felt when they returned to Earth. Of all the Star Trek games that have been released, this one is undoubtedly among the best.

It's not the best in its genre, but if you are looking for a fun stealth game, Styx may be the one for you.

Suda51 strikes again. It's not perfect, but if you love Suda51 you will get what you are expecting.

Crisol: Theater of Idols stands out for its bold ideas and strong identity, even when its limitations become apparent. It may lack variety or ambition, but Vermila’s debut is a coherent and honest shooter that leaves a lasting impression. [Recommended]

Mario Tennis Fever is a game from another era with modern graphics. It's one where completing a story mode, tournaments, and challenges isn't just for the sheer enjoyment they provide, but also to unlock new content in the form of characters and rackets. These add more and more depth to a game that leaves nothing on the table. [Recommended]

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a strong and confident remake of one of the franchise’s most important entries, well worth attention whether you loved or hated the original. [Recommended]

RIDE 6 is a solid and enjoyable game, but also the clearest sign that Milestone is running on autopilot. It offers a wide variety of bikes and events, accessible handling and a robust career mode, but it suffers from recycled ideas, uninspired physics and a lack of ambition that is starting to become worrying.

The Dark Rites of Arkham keeps you hooked for just over five hours, delivering a mystery where cosmic horror and clever design intertwine to masterful effect. [Recommended]

My Hero Academia: All's Justice works well as an arena fighter, but it does even better as a tribute to one of the most influential manga series of recent times, even if it falls short in some of its new features.

Nioh 3 confidently pushes the series forward with open-ended maps and a nimble new ninja style that refresh its trademark combat, even if familiar enemies, recycled music, and a heavy inventory system hold it back. [Recommended]

Beautiful and with the best pacing, but not all its changes will be loved by the fans. [Recommended]

A great CRPG and one of the best Warhammer 40K video games. Unfortunately, the Switch 2 port is not good: framerate, graphics, bugs... the game just deserves much more than that. [No Recommended]

Forget The Binding of Isaac, Mewgenics will be your new obsession. [Recommended]

Cairn is one of those gems we see less and less of these days. It’s a title that plays its hand so well that, just when you think you’ve come for a charming climbing simulator, it delivers a gut punch that makes you question what on earth you’re doing with your life. A superb game, both in its gameplay mechanics and the message it strives to convey. [Recommended]

The gamble of 2XKO results in a game that, despite being brilliant in both mechanical and technical terms, hides its true potential under an aggressive business model resulting from being Free to Play.

This mix between JRPG and Soulslike worth your time even if it is not perfect at all. [Recommended]

Square Enix has done its homework with a port that, although it remains at 30 fps, offers very high image quality in both docked and handheld modes, attempting to adapt the PS5 version rather than converting the PS4 version, which would have been the easy option. [Recommended]

A new Trails that is more a gift for the fans than a revolution in the series. [Recommended]

Funny and really beautiful. Real Racing 2 is one of the best racing games you can find on iOS devices.

With its retro futuristic aesthetics, Routine captures the feelings of the great sci-fi horror films like Alien. It isn’t perfect, and sometimes could be frustrating, but at the end, is a very interesting survival horror.[Recommended]

If you enjoy replaying levels for alternate endings and don’t mind old-school difficulty, you’ll love it. However, if you seek a more intense or longer experience, it may disappoint.

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow is a game that successfully captures the essence of the saga with solid level design, immersive atmosphere, and stealth-focused gameplay, but its poor AI undermines many of its strengths.

Even with the technical limitations of the Nintendo Switch 2, Assassin's Creed Shadows works surprisingly well, giving us the opportunity to enjoy in portable mode one of the most captivating open worlds in years. [Recommended]

It's not the best Octopath Traveler, but you will enjoy playing it. [Recommended]

A visually stunning and creatively ambitious return that unfortunately sacrifices the series' signature isolation and organic exploration for a more guided, segmented experience. [Recommended]

Sacred 2 was a great action RPG, and even now, 17 years after, it feels big and ambitious. Sadly, this remaster doesn't do it justice. [Not recommended]

Possessor(s) blends a brutally striking atmosphere with fighting-game precision, delivering a metroidvania that’s as aggressive as it is elegant. Its exquisite movement and singular visual style make it an intense and unforgettable experience. [Recommended]

Maybe it's not on par with GUN or Red Dead Redemption, but if you are into westerns and enjoy video games, this forgotten jewel from LucasArts now remastered by the pros from NightDive Studios is one you should not ignore. A hard yet very well done title, with satisfying mechanics and plenty of content to keep you entertained and coming back for more replays in the future. [Recommended]

A surprising fun and chaotic action game that looks like Mario Kart, but it plays like Super Smash Bros. Has tons of content, an addictive multiplayer and a gameplay more deep and complex than it seems. [Recommended]

Dispatch debunks many things we believed to be axioms within the video game industry. On the one hand, it slaps down those who believe that superheroes no longer have anything interesting to say; on the other, it revives an episodic, narrative format that we thought had gone out of fashion in video games, and ends up offering a story and characters that we rarely see in this medium. [Recommended]

Arc Raiders achieves precisely what the extraction formula has been missing: approachability. It's a world that's appealing on its own for pretty much anyone —immersive, tactile, suggestive. It just happens to have an extraction mechanic and progression system on top of it. The game nails these features too. Loot and gear is easy to understand, hard to earn. Figuring out the PvE mobs can be tricky but also fresh and rewarding. There's plenty of both friend and foe depending on your personal preference, and the rewards for leveling up and investing resources are all satisfactory. Great game overall. [Recommended]

A beautiful and deep city-builder with tons of options and a great design, but with an interesting but poor war system. Is perfect for new players, but also for the veterans. [Recommended]

One of the most eagerly awaited games of all time, at least for those of us who love football, has turned out to be a false start. Although the tactical innovations are spectacular, and the moderate graphical upgrade is welcome, FM 26 is far from being the best version of itself. It will surely be better in a few weeks or months, not to mention the good foundation it will provide for FM 27, but right now it is a product for the most dedicated fans and is far from being a total leap in quality after the year-long hiatus caused by the cancellation of the previous edition.

Farthest Frontier is a deeply complex and rewarding city-builder that lets players learn through experience, even if its challenging progression can sometimes feel steep. [Recommended]

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 aspires to be the biggest game in the series, but in the process, it forgets not only that being the best doesn't always mean being the best, but also part of its own identity. With an unusual campaign, large maps, and a consistent yet remarkable Zombies mode, the overall excellence is enhanced by a multiplayer mode that, once again, doesn't disappoint.

This game proves that The Legend of Zelda and musous makes a good match, again. [Recommended]

It could be painful start to play it and isn't perfect, but if you are looking for a massive strategy game with tons of options and amazing freedom, this is one of the best. And for sure, the most complex ever. [Recommended]

One of the best collections ever created for a fighting game series. A must have for fans of this saga. [Recommended]

An amazing remake for two amazing JRPG. [Recommended]

The aim was to remain so faithful to the original experience that both its successes and mistakes have been brought back. It has good ideas such as elemental magic and the hat system show that there was potential.

Jurassic World Evolution 3 refines its formula with deeper micro-management, genetic experimentation, and enhanced visual customization, delivering the most complete and polished entry in the series. [Recommended]

Wreckreation tries to capture the Burnout spirit with a sandbox twist where you can reshape the world as you drive. It’s a fun idea with flashes of brilliance, but weak driving, clunky tools, and an empty world hold it back. Fun for a while with friends, yet far from the legacy it aims to honor.

Besides being a roguelike of epic proportions, it's a masterclass in game design and marketing. [Recommended]

With Ball x Pit, we might have suspected that the demos had shown us a fun design, but without much depth in the final game. Nothing could be further from the truth. Devolver's new title is a masterclass in surprising us with all kinds of ideas to expand on a simple but addictive foundation. [Recommended]

If you can only play it on Switch 2, don't miss out because it's a must-have, but if not, the experience on other platforms is visually better.

The Outer Worlds 2 delivers a rich, expansive RPG with deep characters, meaningful choices, and a finely crafted sci-fi world. Obsidian balances humor, seriousness, and exploration to create one of their most polished and engaging titles yet. [Recommended]

Another fantastic, fun and plenty of humour entry in this unique Bandai-Namco’s Katamari franchise. [Recommended]

Platinum has added its own style on top of the Ninja Gaiden formula, and it's so noticeable that it will divide the community. It clearly works in terms of the controls. The combat is frenetic, with perfect animations, but unfortunately, everything else has been neglected. [Recommended]

A beautiful experience with more walking simulators than video games. Even that is fun, it feels unique, and is extremely captivating. [Recommended]

A sequel with a different philosophy that nails the atmosphere of the World of Darkness, yet often stumbles in its execution, trading player freedom for a linear story filled with brilliant but underdeveloped ideas.

and Roger is a stab to the heart disguised as a video game. Short, intimate, and devastating, but necessary; one of those titles that changes you without you even realizing it. [Recommended]

There are games you shouldn't miss, games that strive so hard to evolve ideas and genres that, to understand everything that comes after, you have to go back to them. Absolum is one of them. [Recommended]

While it doesn't quite reach the unsettling heights of its predecessors, Little Nightmares III translates its signature horror into a compelling cooperative experience, even if it feels more self-conscious and 'gamey' in the process.

An spectacular return to the roots of Battlefield series, but everything has a price.

Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is a clever blend of tactical RPG and roguelite, offering unpredictable choices. It’s not perfect, but its charm and strategic depth make it a memorable experience for fans of thoughtful, challenging adventures.

Oddly enough, Pokémon Legends: Z-A delivers a mostly polished, fairly challenging and compelling game —this isn't your average gimmicky merchandising-making machine. I enjoyed the story thoroughly and found the new combat system to be deep and interesting even beyond the scope of competitive-minded players. It's a great surprise overall, opening up new questions on how the franchise will evolve beyond its no longer unwavering roots. [Recommended]

A remake version of the 2002 classic 3D platform adventure game that is targeted at the younger audience.

A perfect game for big robots fans with tons of content and a good gameplay. Recommended]

A very good JRPG, and the best Digimon's game ever. [Recommended]

Both Mario Galaxy are the best of the best, and of course you have to play it; better on Nintendo Switch 2. But I feel a little disappointed for the lack of new extra content to show how these games were created; to do something more as a celebration of the 40th years of Mario Bros's games, and not only like a simple remaster. [Recommended]

Nihon Falcom has done a spectacular job visually, giving it a beautiful cel-shaded style that brings the characters to life. If you've never played this series before, I envy you: this is the best introduction you're going to find. [Recommended]
