    KARMA: The Dark World delivers a strong dystopian atmosphere and an intriguing yet vague narrative. Puzzle-heavy gameplay and minimal hints can be frustrating, but lore enthusiasts may enjoy the extra depth. A solid pick for psychological horror fans, though action lovers might want to look elsewhere.

    Squirreled Away blends cozy elements with survival gameplay, offering a cute and simple experience with no real danger. Making it ideal for gamers that want to relax as well as children. The game features an engaging loop where you help squirrels, collect items, solve puzzles and unlock upgrades while progressing through different areas. The smooth controls are a highlight, but the game lacks optimization and some quality-of-life improvements.

    Rebellion delivers a compelling survival experience with Atomfall, though technical flaws, clunky melee combat, and weak enemy AI hold it back.

    Wanderstop is a thought-provoking game that explores themes like burnout, change, and anxiety disorders, offering a deeply personal experience. The slow-paced gameplay, which includes making tea and caring for flowers, aligns perfectly with the themes and encourages reflection. The only downside are the uncomfortable keyboard controls and the visual design of the main character. The soothing music and beautiful visuals further enhance the calming experience, as the game forces players to slow down, much like one should when dealing with burnout.

    Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land brings a fresh twist with a protagonist who isn’t immediately seen as a hero but doesn’t fully explore that concept. The expanded world, new mechanics like a motorcycle and gun, and dynamic real-time combat add depth to the gameplay. While the Switch version has some technical issues, the beautiful art style and excellent voice acting make up for it. It’s an enjoyable addition to the Atelier series, though it could have used a bit more depth.

    Fragpunk stands out in the competitive free-to-play market with its vibrant visuals, unique Lancers, and game-changing Shard Cards that keep matches fresh.

    Sniper Elite: Resistance feels more like a DLC for Sniper Elite 5 than a standalone game, with a lackluster story, boring protagonist, and repetitive missions. While the core gameplay remains solid, the game suffers from a lack of variety and innovation, while the challenge is diminished by the lack of enemies. Despite some highlights like the X-Ray Kill-Cam and the addition of propaganda missions, the game’s value is better suited for Game Pass rather than a full purchase.

    By staying true to John Krasinski's formula, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead comes as both a blessing and a curse. Fans of the movies are served with a reference-filled and recognizable plot, which can be its strong suit but also its weakest link as it leaves very little to the imagination. The saving grace of The Road Ahead is definitely the suspenseful gameplay in which complete silence and methodical traversal is paramount, though it begs to be asked if the player can muster six to seven hours of it. And that is if you don't run into bugs that force you into reverting to a previous checkpoint.

    ReFantazio enchants with its stunning art direction and layered story, though it occasionally slows down. The Archetype system and strategic battles remain engaging, while the real-time combat feels less refined. A must-play for JRPG fans.

    Although the game looks stunning and has an amazing soundtrack, it falls short in key areas. The story takes a bit too long to get interesting, and despite beautiful environments, there’s little to explore or do beyond collecting items. This underutilizes the potential of the unique world it has.

    Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero delivers a fun and visually stunning experience that captures the true essence of Dragon Ball. With over 180 characters, each with unique movesets, it offers variety but lacks the depth and balance of more competitive fighters. The Episode Battles keep things exciting, but the simplistic controls might feel repetitive for some. While it’s not as refined as Street Fighter or Tekken, fans and newcomers will find plenty to enjoy.

    Undisputed does a solid job filling the void left by Fight Night, focusing heavily on realism with strategic, chess-like matches. While it excels in its simulation aspects, it falls short due to frame drops on PS5 and a lackluster career mode. Despite these drawbacks, Steel City Interactive’s commitment to updates and DLC gives hope for improvement, making it a promising entry for boxing fans who crave more authenticity. With future polishing, a potential Undisputed: Round 2 could truly shine.

    Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream starts strong, especially for fans of the series, with fluid combat and familiar faces. Unfortunately, repetition quickly sets in and variation is lacking. For sixty euros you get little new, unless you are really crazy about Sword Art Online.

    Zelda: Echoes of wisdom is difficult to put down and offers a lot of freedom and creativity due to the echoes. Exploring the colourful world of Hyrule is rewarding as you unlock new items and echoes, while you encounter plenty of weird minigames and sidequests. The story itself focuses on the gameplay and the old school dungeons. Although the long menu of echoes can be cumbersome, the game’s overall experience is fantastic, and it sets a high bar for future 2D Zelda games.

    Hide The Corpse doesn't take itself dead serious and neither should you. This snazzy lookin' VR serial cleaner simulation will have you scurrying around the house, dumping bodies and evidence in any suitable place you can possibly find, before the fuzz busts down the door. Do a good job, and you're off the hook with an ice cold S-ranking. If you snoozed, you're in for a night at the station. Hide The Corpse almost scores that S-rank, merely tainted by a few forgotten fingerprints.

    Mortal Kombat: Khaos Reigns delivers solid characters like Cyrax, Sektor, and Noob Saibot, along with the usual MK humor and no load times. However, the DLC feels overpriced, offering only two hours of story content for a steep price of fifty euros. While visually impressive and enjoyable for hardcore fans, it’s hard to justify the cost compared to other entertainment options.

    EA Sports FC 25 is the most complete football game in the series, but is it worth the €80 price tag? If you already own FC 24, you won’t miss much. For fans of Rush and Ultimate Team, it might be wise to wait for a price drop.

    Halls of Torment combines roguelike survival with bullet-hell chaos in a delightful way. The nostalgic Diablo vibe and addictive meta-progression make this a must-play for fans of challenging action like Vampire Survivors.

    Breachway effectively uses its sci-fi theme, with gameplay centered around strategic decisions based on ships, cards, and crew. However, you barely carry anything over to the next round. Which makes pre-run planning non-existing. While the resource-based card system works well, players are limited by a standard deck and RNG. The game looks polished with exciting visuals, but it currently lacks some depth and the desire to keep playing. [Early Access Score = 50]

    City 20 offers a fresh take on the post-apocalyptic survival genre with a city setting and dynamic interactions. While the survival mechanics can feel repetitive at times, it holds enough potential for replayability and experimentation. [Early Access Score = 70]

    Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed remains a fun platformer, but it falls short compared to modern titles like Astro Bot or The Plucky Squire. While the game's originality shines through and fans of the original will enjoy it, its slow pacing, dated presentation, and occasionally frustrating controls hold it back. Despite these flaws, it offers plenty of nostalgic charm for longtime players.

    Ara: History Untold is a complex 4X-strategy game that introduces an extensive crafting system and simultaneous turns, eliminating waiting times. Players win by earning Prestige in various categories rather than pursuing a specific victory condition. While the game offers rich details in leaders and visuals, it falls short with predictable events and limited cultural differences. It still offers an in depth and rewarding experience for any strategy enthusiasts.
