With strong competitors already in the market, Moroi tries to make its mark—but not in the way we would have hoped. Its art style is spot-on for this kind of game, and it features charming NPCs, but it stumbles when it comes to keeping players engaged during combat. While it does manage to pull us back in with a few puzzles, the overall experience is a mixed bag.

Sanatorium: Mental Asylum Simulator combines the best of resource management with a deeply human and critical narrative. Through a simple yet effective card-based system, the game portrays the horrors of psychiatric treatment in the 1920s with both irony and sensitivity—avoiding sensationalism or trivialization. Its tone, oscillating between the sinister and the darkly comic, manages to entertain while inviting reflection. Small in scale but grand in ambition, it’s one of those indie gems that accomplishes a lot with very little.

The 10 hours of fun, humor, destruction, mystery, and 1950s American style are all the team at Studio Far Out Games needs to deliver an enjoyable experience for anyone. The story leads us to destruction, while the humor and missions bring us back down to earth as chaos slowly simmers behind the scenes before exploding in your face.

Midnight Murder Club is a game with a simple premise that aims to connect with players through cat-and-mouse mechanics. It can be called clever, as it relies on darkness and proximity chat as its core sources of fun. Still, while it could shine brighter, it ultimately shows little ambition when it comes to offering more diverse game modes.

It doesn’t reinvent the wheel or reach masterpiece status, but if you’re into battle arena games—if you really make the most of each of the modes mentioned and take into account the huge base roster of characters—you’ll undoubtedly find countless hours of fun here. And whether you’re a fan of the franchise or not, visually you’re looking at one of the most stunning anime-styled games ever made.

With 40 years in the industry, the bubble-blowing dragon twins have been through countless adventures, and this one feels like just another run-of-the-mill entry. With repetitive gameplay and poor optimization for Nintendo’s handheld hardware, the game comes across as rushed and uninspired. Visually, it’s among the best the series has done in a 3D setting, but there’s a noticeable lack of regard for the player experience. Here’s hoping Bub and Bob get a brighter future down the line.

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.

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]

Mortal Kombat Definitive Edition expands the story and pays close attention to the newly added characters. However, if you already own the base game, it might feel like too little. Still, if you’re a hardcore fan of the franchise, you might want to have access to all the included characters. For those who haven’t played it before and don’t own the base game, this edition is the best way to experience Mortal Kombat 1.

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.

No Heroes Here 2 is a textbook tower defense game, built on the foundations of its multiplayer and cooperative experience. A sequel with clear improvements, yet one that sticks to the same structure of a straightforward title, lacking in complexity and greater ambition.

Dragon Ball Z Kakarot DLC Daima Part 1 continues CyberConnect2 and Bandai’s mission to capture the essence of the anime in this new adventure. With enhanced visuals, the DLC lays the groundwork for what will become the adaptation of the series’ final arc — and with it, the most anticipated battles and transformations.

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]

With everything to gain and little to lose, Tribute Games’ latest entry leaves you satisfied thanks to the obvious love and care the studio has for the beat ’em up genre. In this case, the story, visual design, replay value and references all feel on point, but the game comes up short in length and some players may be left wanting more. That could easily be addressed with updates that add more missions, more characters and, if possible, a versus mode between characters.

This new interpretation arrives at just the right time for anyone looking to step into the world of Dragon Quest. It’s practical and easy to pick up, with a story that hooks you, memorable characters, and—above all—the unmistakable essence of the franchise intact. The music and art elevate the experience, while the cast’s charm pulls you into a one-way ride that never lets up.
