F1 25 is the best F1 sim to date, though it feels more like refinement than revolution. The improved handling and fun extras are welcome, but for €79.99, a bit more innovation would've been nice. Still, a solid upgrade for dedicated fans.- Gameliner

Monster Train 2 is a strong sequel that expands on the original with five new clans, more artifacts, rooms, and Pyre Hearts, offering a huge variety of strategic combinations. The game is notably more difficult, but victory feels especially rewarding, and progression becomes easier as you master each clan. While the unit design and challenge variety are excellent, the interface suffers from an unadjustable camera and oversized UI elements. The story doesn't add much, but the rewarding progression system and a surprise for returning players keep the experience engaging.- Gameliner

Leave it to the Swedes to come up with a beautifully executed concept, even if it doesn't necessarily score the highest on the innovation scale. With perfectly integrated camera angle switches, Out of Sight absolutely is a dream to play, even if inherently linked issues like finicky 3D controls and possible motion sickness cause a few 'little nightmares'. If you're a fan of sneaking and puzzling in an eerie mansion (or teddy bears), Out of Sight is a game is a game you should definitely keep an eye on.- Gameliner

9 Kings delivers a simple but engaging gameplay loop where selecting a king grants access to a set of cards used to place buildings and troops. Battles reward new cards, and strategic variety is encouraged through random blessings, perks, and different kings. The pixel art style and evolving buildings add visual clarity and satisfaction as you expand your kingdom. While more unique kings and game modes would enhance replayability, the Early Access launch is a promising start for developer Sad Socket. [Early Access Score = 80]- Gameliner

In theory, RoadCraft holds a lot of cards to become a brilliant road working sim, but ultimately suffers from Saber's inability to pick a lane and stay on it. Convoluted controls make it a daunting chore for the casual gamer, while the simplified execution of some construction tasks deem RoadCraft unfit to be a true sim. Combine this with some questionable physicsand frustrating vehicle characteristics, and one can only conclude that there's quite some roadwork to be done to make RoadCraft the game it ultimately deserves to be.- Gameliner

Is The Precinct that reverse GTA experience some people make it out to be? Yes and no. While Fallen Tree Games isometric police sim tries diligently to offer the player plenty of cops versus crooks action and an intriguing story, it also bogs down the action with mandatory patrol jobs to farm essential XP. Combine that bureaucratic drag with visually limiting camera options and progress obstructing bugs, and you might consider turning in your badge and gun.- Gameliner

Even if the last-minute delay of La Quimera raised the eyebrows of many, it probably was the best thing that Reburn could have done, and so was the choice of shifting it into Early Access. The extra time has given the Ukranian studio some breathing room to drag La Quimera out of its utterly unplayable state, delivering a sci-fi shooter which is at least playable now. But make no mistake, while gunplay has been improved massively and even offers some solid action left and right, other aspect like story building and voice acting are still so unbearable that is't difficult to not feel a sense of embarrasment when sitting through the over-the-top Latin-Americans soap opera drama. [Early Access Score = 50]- Gameliner

DOOM: The Dark Ages is a fierce and fresh take that nails the franchise’s core, delivering a brutal first-person experience wrapped in stunning audiovisual design. The campaign’s combat loop is as gripping as ever, though the narrative feels undercooked and fails to fully capitalize on the game's cinematic ambitions. While weapon switching can feel clunky, and the soundtrack doesn’t quite reach the iconic highs of its predecessors, id Software still delivers a bold and commendable entry that just falls short of topping its legendary forerunners.- Gameliner

Spirit of the North 2 shows promise but falls short of its potential. Its lore is intriguing, yet hard to access due to scattered fragments and a world that feels too large and empty. While exploration can drag, the game shines in its well-designed dungeons and boss puzzles, enhanced by rune mechanics and a strong soundtrack. Unfortunately, weak visuals, clumsy platforming, and frequent interruptions keep it from being truly memorable.- Gameliner

It's clear that Red Soul Games is eager to pay tribute to oldschool Resident Evil and Silent Hill games, using Post Trauma to sculpt a modern version of the ancient fixed camera survival horror genre. Though Red Soul Games' attempt is valiant, Post Trauma suffers from the same tropes Resident Evil and Silent Hill had in the good old days. Clunky gameplay and frustrating combat bring down the overall experience, while an overly complicated puzzle structure and Unreal-related performance issues grind Post Trauma's pain train to a halt.- Gameliner

Commando: Origins was meant to revive the franchise after years of silence, but it falls short. There is no cohesive story and the missions feel quite random. However, the missions are varied and the commandos offer different strategies. Don’t expect a lot of freedom or creativity. Despite detailed gameplay mechanics, numerous bugs severely impact the experience, often forcing players to reload saves. With optimization issues also present, it's best to wait for a few patches before diving in to enjoy the nostalgic gameplay.- Gameliner

Chains of Freedom features a post-apocalyptic world with potential, but its weak plot and bland characters fail to make the story compelling. While crafting items from gathered materials adds some strategic depth, exploration is linear and the environments are unremarkable. The turn-based combat stands out thanks to diverse abilities and unlockable skills using bio-crystals. Unfortunately, poor enemy AI, frustrating pathfinding, and drawn-out battles hurt the overall pacing and enjoyment.- Gameliner

Wanderstop is a thought-provoking game that explores themes like burnout, change, and anxiety disorders, offering a deeply personal experience.

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.- Gameliner

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 offers enough innovations to justify its arrival, with an impressive career mode and endless options to lose yourself in the skies for hours. However, weak localization, clunky AI voices, and long loading times show that perfection is not yet within reach.- Gameliner

New Arc Line shows potential but struggles with clear shortcomings like a clunky camera and weak dialogue. The impressive atmosphere and strong skill-check mechanics spark curiosity, but the game feels unfinished even for Early Access. [Early Access Score = 50]- Gameliner

Critter Café is full of lost potential. While it’s cute, runs well, and has simple controls, it’s held back by repetitive gameplay, limited activities, and childish dialogue. With more world interaction and expanded gameplay, it could have been a far more enjoyable long-term experience.- Gameliner

Let's Sing 2025 delivers another fun karaoke experience with 35 songs and various game modes, perfect for a cozy night with friends. Unfortunately, purchased songs from previous installments can't be carried over, and extra tracks require a VIP pass. Thankfully, the interface has been improved and is more user-friendly than ever.- Gameliner

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl offers an unmatched, immersive journey through the hauntingly atmospheric Zone, with engaging exploration, gripping non-linear storytelling, and intense survival-focused combat.

Loco Motive offers an entertaining mix of humor, mystery, and classic point-and-click gameplay set in a charming 1930's train. Despite some frustrating puzzles and technical bugs, the game remains engaging with strong dialogue and lively animations, making it a must for fans of Monkey Island and humorous whodunits.- Gameliner

Farming Simulator 25 offers interesting improvements, such as new crops, production processes, improved AI, and varied contracts, but remains somewhat user-unfriendly due to complex menus and a lackluster tutorial. The three maps, including an Asian setting, provide a fresh gameplay experience, while construction projects and improved weather conditions add extra depth. The game is certainly recommended for newcomers, but veterans might want to wait a bit before diving into it as Farming Simulator 22 offers a bit more.- Gameliner

LEGO Horizon Adventures offers a surprisingly successful combination of the world and gameplay of Horizon Zero Dawn and a LEGO-game. The story is filled with dry humor and puns, so it shouldn’t be taken too seriously. With a focus on missions there’s no repetitive grind. It results in a short game, but the quality and attention to detail make it worth every penny. Definitely as the combat and gameplay are very satisfying.- Gameliner

Planet Coaster 2 introduces some fun new features like pools and water rides but falls short in interface and management mechanics, hampering the gameplay experience. Visually impressive, yet limited content and performance issues leave it feeling unfinished and disappointing for a full-priced game.- Gameliner

For every great things that Metro Awakening does, it unfortunately also does something less great that nullifies it. Punchy action and an eye for detail add to the immersion that every Metro fan has been dreaming of for decades, but less than stellar graphical performance on the Quest 3, repetitive environments, and possible control/inventory issues can wear a player out faster than a shroom-infested tunnel full of 'hard-to-kill' nuclear spiders. No really, if anyone could tell me how to kill them, that would be great...- Gameliner

Dragon Age: The Veilguard misses the essence of earlier Dragon Age games, turning the dark fantasy world into a childish fairytale with shallow dialogue and limited, impactless choices. The game is linear and fails to honor the rich lore, intriguing characters, and complex choices the franchise is known for. Although the combat is smooth and visually impressive, it lacks depth and doesn’t fit the world.- Gameliner

Goat Simulator Remastered brings back that wonderful chaos and absurdity, this time with a little less bugs. Still, the question remains whether the fun lasts longer than with the original, especially without couch co-op - perfect for a drunken evening with friends.- Gameliner

Sonic X Shadow Generations delivers a strong mix of nostalgia and modernization, with Shadow's new campaign enriching gameplay through strategic Chaos abilities.
