There’s no doubt that this is the best way to play Oblivion, and it surpasses the original version in every aspect. However, if you’re not driven by nostalgia, you might find a game that feels more abstract than what Bethesda delivers nowadays—awkward to play, with systems that are perhaps more convoluted than they should be, and packed with numerous, many, quite a lot of bugs. Fortunately, it’s far better written than any of Bethesda’s later titles, and its world remains as iconic as it is unforgettable.

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.

Commandos: Origins plays like a true sandbox experience. Here, the player must come up with their own solutions and overcome obstacles. At all times, the game encourages experimenting with different ways to tackle each challenge—and most importantly, to think through every move.The missions are well-designed and the enemies are intelligently placed, making the return of Commandos a compelling and challenging entry in the real-time tactics infiltration genre. That said, the game does have some technical shortcomings, particularly when it comes to controls and certain gameplay mechanics.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is more than just a tribute to retro games—while it certainly pays homage to those who came before (just like the Expedition 33 itself), it truly stands out with a unique blend of elements. The story, with its touch of melancholy, tragedy, and a one-of-a-kind world, delivers an experience that never feels bitter. Instead, it’s about finding hope while landing a good combo. And if you don’t make it, the next one will—that’s why we can’t wait to see what Sandfall Interactive does next.

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]

Within this new version of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, there are a series of additions that bring notable quality-of-life improvements to the title. This includes enhancements in the technical aspects and graphics department. This new release adapts the current additions very well into the game's base structure, and even completes it with a highly satisfying narrative conclusion that truly makes Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition a genuine definitive edition.

It's impossible not to recommend this game. The Last of Us is a landmark franchise, and Part II successfully carries on the legacy of the original. Importantly, the PC port is solid and runs well, presenting the unforgettable story in the best possible visual quality thanks to the remaster.

South of Midnight offers a singularly unique visual and thematic experience. Its stop-motion artistry and Southern Gothic atmosphere, alongside its magical combat, truly make it stand out. Compulsion Games delivers a captivating and innovative action-adventure reminiscent of American McGee. While some of its gameplay mechanics might feel rooted in a previous era, the adventure itself remains a compelling experience that is well worth visiting.

Asylum is an indie game that offers a cinematographic experience. It will make you think about everything that happens throughout your passage through Hanwll. Beware that it is not a traditional game, so if you are looking for a classic horror story you may be disappointed. But it is something new that definitely deserves to be experienced.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is a game that brings a fresh perspective to the series. With a strong gameplay, it fulfills its goals, and you can enjoy this adventure for more than 30 hours. It's a plus that you can play this title more than once, and there are lots of exploration and items to discover. Shadows tells a story with a good dose of drama and a remarkable portrayal of this particular period in Japan.

Suikoden I&II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars represents the best way to experience the first two entries in the series. It maintains their classic retro atmosphere while incorporating quality-of-life improvements, offering an enhanced gameplay experience for veterans and modern players alike. These two installments are essential titles for any fan of the JRPG genre, especially for those who cherish the golden era of the original PlayStation.

Split Fiction's greatest strengths are its sheer variety and wonderful unpredictability. It's an incredibly fun experience, perfect for sharing hours of enjoyment with a friend or partner. This game is a clear demonstration of refinement; Josef Fares and the Hazelight team have delivered the most polished and inventive version of their unique co-op formula yet.

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.

What makes this pack interesting is that its gameplay value increases the more expansions you own. While this might seem somewhat 'incomplete' to some, we believe it's crucial that new packs reshape how we engage with older content. Our favorite part is combining the gameplay elements from different packs. Sims 4 Businesses and Hobbies is a good expansion to purchase once you already own others and want to add a fresh twist to your overall gameplay.

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.

Monster Hunter: Wilds represents the natural evolution of the franchise, introducing a series of improvements and, above all, quality-of-life features that make it more accessible to all kinds of players. It's a title that notably changes the traditional structure of separate missions and hunting zones, opting instead for an open world featuring distinct ecosystems and areas filled with a vast number of monsters to hunt. These enhancements don't stray far from the series' original formula, although they do make playing Monster Hunter somewhat easier and less frustrating.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is the least pretentious game you'll play this year. The gameplay is extremely varied as you alternate between sea-based activities and land exploration; it features the series' signature humor, and the exploration is highly enjoyable. However, its most noteworthy feature is its complete genuineness; it perfectly expresses the series' legacy and underlying message of honor, blending it with bizarre humor to create a unique tone.

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.

It's a shame that such an incredible game like Spider-Man 2 is hampered at launch by technical issues. It's also regrettable that, considering it's a AAA title from a PlayStation studio, it isn't performing optimally upon release. Once everything is patched, the game will truly be worthwhile. With that said, Spider-Man 2 is undoubtedly one of the most fun experiences you'll play on PC this year and the best superhero video game in a long time.

In this installment, we see how the studio's potential, combined with a superb script, can take us on a compelling journey of medieval misadventures. While it might be overwhelming for some players, and occasional bugs can alter the experience, the story's branching paths—along with the intricate detail in NPC behavior and the world itself—are impressive from every angle.

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.
