    The Siege and the Sandfox
    The game is appealing for those seeking a casual stealth and platforming experience, wrapped in a timeless pixel art style. While its 10-hour runtime might leave you wanting more, this release could benefit in the future from improvements to its hiding and enemy distraction mechanics.

    Dynasty Warriors: Origins
    It offers a refresh for the Dynasty Warriors series by adding several technical and gameplay layers, such as parrying, counterattacks, and RPG elements, all without sacrificing the core Musou feel of frenetic and tactical arcade action. It's a modern take on the classic Musou formula; while its graphics aren't top-tier or aiming to be a benchmark, that's clearly not the focus. Its greatest strength lies in its gameplay: battling hundreds of enemies on fields where the slightest decision can make the difference between victory and defeat.

    Dreamcore
    Dreamcore is a game that should be appreciated for its premise and is primarily intended for those specifically interested in this type of experience. Action game enthusiasts will likely find themselves bored navigating the seemingly endless labyrinths from one liminal space to the next. The effort involved in capturing the concept of the liminal and bringing the Backrooms to 'life' through this game clearly shows dedication and love from a creator who understands their product and cares deeply about the outcome. The level design is remarkable, and the task of programming it must have been nothing short of titanic for a single person.

    Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny Remaster
    Capcom manages to draw us in once again with another remaster that lives up to the original, having modernized the combat system for new generations. With additions to the soundtrack, improved resolution, a higher difficulty level for seasoned players, and refined controls, the game feels just as good as it did 23 years ago—but for longtime fans, the upgrades aren’t quite enough to make it feel like something entirely new.

    Tingus Goose
    Tingus Goose is an idle game that blends classic mechanics with a deliberately grotesque, absurd aesthetic. The player watches and manages the progression of a goose whose growth, reproduction, and mutations generate resources that can be reinvested. It’s a passive, observation-driven experience, and its weird sense of humor and slow pace make it a niche pick—best suited for players who enjoy experimental takes on the idle genre.

    Donkey Kong Country Returns HD
    Donkey and Diddy Kong's return to adventure, alongside their whole family, features refreshed visuals but keeps its gameplay intact. Although this new installment is a full remaster of the original game, Nintendo could have added new levels or greater challenges—especially considering its price point—to attract the original audience with fresh content.

    Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection
    This collection brings together classic Yu-Gi-Oh! games from over twenty years ago, featuring Yugi and his companions. Showcasing gameplay beyond the standard card duels, including board game formats, it serves two main audiences: those who missed the chance to play the originals upon release, and fans wanting to experience titles previously unreleased outside of Japan/in the West.

    Avowed
    Although the land of Eora is colorful and large, it doesn't quite fulfill what many of us were looking for: a modernized Skyrim. Even with its unique mechanics and richness of characters, it fails to keep the player fully captivated like other similar titles do. When it comes to entertainment, it delivers, but without that extra element that makes us stay for more hours, as happens in other memorable RPGs.

    WWE 2K26
    While the series continues to improve year after year, 2K still fails to elevate the character models or deliver the kind of story the island setting could truly offer. This entry introduces a welcome twist with its faction system and the addition of AAA to the mix, but it still falls short of becoming a truly great wrestling game. In the absence of a strong story mode, MyGM and MyFaction help make up for it, both feeling more refined this time around.

    Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition
    This compilation is like being patted by a worn-down piece of sandpaper for fans: it might feel gentle in a few spots, but it’s still going to scrape. Without the franchise’s original signature music and with quality-of-life tweaks like rewinding after a mistake, it comes with clear pros and cons. The standout addition is that new rewind feature, which is going to make it possible to actually finish the 120+ extra levels created by fans and the original creators.

    Everybody's Golf Hot Shots
    Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots returns with all its quirky charm, colorful characters, and anime-style antics. It offers a solid multiplayer focus but is held back by technical shortcomings, slow progression, and a rather simple visual presentation. It’s ideal for longtime fans of the series or players looking for a laid-back golf arcade experience—just don’t expect too much depth.

    Outbound
    Everything that makes the genre appealing is here: the aesthetics, the concept, and the commitment to making it work as a multiplayer experience. However, it may fall short in the most basic area: keeping us engaged with the endless loop we are expected to play for hours. While other titles follow a similar structure, here that loop can become boring. Still, with a few tweaks, it could offer a better experience if given a second chance.

    Stellar Blade x Goddess of Victory: Nikke
    This collaboration between Stellar Blade and GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE brings a bit more than just extra outfits for Eve. It introduces a minigame that recreates the third-person shooter mechanics of the Nikke universe, with five shooting phases, search challenges, and a new, difficult Boss Challenge encounter. It’s a crossover made especially for fans, though it doesn’t feel as ambitious as it probably should.

    The Sims 4: Enchanted by Nature
    Enchanted by Nature is a visually stunning and detail-rich pack that introduces fairies as a new occult type and embraces a whimsical, fairy tale-inspired aesthetic. While it brings new mechanics such as natural living, a luck system, and magical afflictions, its gameplay feels limited if you're not drawn to the role of mystical creatures. With a high price tag and few options beyond the magical theme, the expansion may feel more restrictive than expansive.

    The Sims 4: Royalty & Legacy
    The Sims 4: Dynasties and Lineages offers a world rich in storytelling and an innovative noble career path, but loses momentum due to reused content, bugs in the scandal system, and a Build/Buy mode that does not justify its status as a full expansion.

    inZOI
    InZOI had a strong start in its Early Access, but it will need to fight to stay relevant once the initial novelty wears off. For now, it feels like there's more style than substance. The game needs to develop a unique value proposition and move beyond comparisons to The Sims. While both share a similar philosophy, their approaches are fundamentally different. We don’t believe InZOI is “the Sims killer” — at least not yet — but we also don’t think it needs to be. The way the game was launched feels like a smart move, as maintaining a close relationship with the community will be key to its future. It’s on the right path, but there’s still a long road ahead. [Early Access Score = 60]

    Grounded 2
    With a major visual upgrade, improved gameplay quality, and a much better-paced story, this miniature adventure is everything we needed from Obsidian in a sequel that far surpasses its predecessor. Spiders, scorpions, cockroaches, and praying mantises may go unnoticed in everyday life, but when you're the size of a pill bug, they become the worst threats you could ever face. [Early Access Score = 90]
