Don't be fooled by the Superhot/Pistil Whip esthetics, Vendetta Forever strikes the VR player with a different kind of attack and does so with great vengeance and furious anger. During the course of sixty well-designed - and sometimes brutally challenging - levels, Meatspace Interactive puts players to the test to get the answer to the question burning on the lips of every action movie connoisseur: Do I have what it takes to be Tom Cruise? The short answer (no pun intended) is yes, although it might request a lot of trial and error or the occasional use of a cheat to accomplish some of the seemingly impossible missions.

While it features a somewhat one-dimensional combat loop and the potential for progress loss, the roguelite elements ensure that each session remains thrilling. Perfect Random's debut title demonstrates ambition and merits serious consideration. [Early Access Score = 80]

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 revitalizes the series with its new Omnimovement mechanic, blending fresh gameplay with classic elements. The single-player mode impresses with an open-world design and strong narrative, while Zombies returns to its roots with well-crafted maps but slow progression. Multiplayer benefits from the comeback of prestige and diverse maps, though not all are hits. Overall, it’s a must-play for fans and a solid re-entry point for casual players.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure improves on the first game, with Max’s evolved powers driving a compelling investigation across two timelines. Despite minor pacing issues, it pleasantly surprised me and made me rethink my choices.

RetroRealms Arcade offers a nostalgic trip for fans of retro platformers and horror, but its punishing checkpoints and clunky controls may frustrate some. While the character-switching mechanic adds depth, the content feels a bit thin for the price. Still, the love for the source material shines through, making it a cautious recommendation.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed offers a visually appealing and accessible experience tailored to younger fans. While the RPG system adds a fun layer, it lacks depth for older players, and the fixed camera can be frustrating during platforming sections. It’s a solid choice for a younger audience, but veterans might prefer Shredder’s Revenge for a more challenging and refined Turtles experience.

Does it make any sense to treat an eight-year-old game to a remake? In the case of Arizona Sunshine, the answer is most definitely yes. Vertigo Games has done a fine job reanimating its undead classic by giving it some welcome Quality of Death upgrades, vastly improved visuals, and better than ever controls. Unfortunately, the seated mode seems to have gotten infected a bit and doesn't live up to the task at times. But if that's all, this Freddy is a happy Freddy.

Unknown 9: Awakening has a unique story but suffers from poor execution, leading to a disconnect with the world and characters. Clunky controls, sluggish animations, and limited enemy AI further hinder the experience. As it stands, the game isn't worth recommending.

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.

Along with the occasional bugs and missing quality of life-features the game has its flaws.

At a budget-friendly price of thirty euros, it’s a solid choice for fans of platformers looking for a lighthearted, cooperative experience.

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.

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.

With future polishing, a potential Undisputed: Round 2 could truly shine.

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.

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.

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.

The game looks polished with exciting visuals, but it currently lacks some depth and the desire to keep playing. [Early Access Score = 50]

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.

The latter may unfortunately consider it a tough sell since Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged doesn't bring any new material to the table, but if you're new to the franchise, this is the ultimate edition to get drawn into the mystery.

As the game moves away from the personal connection with individual citizens which reduces the emotional impact.

All Possible Futures has created a wonderfully creative game with The Plucky Squire. The book itself is colourful and filled with fun little puzzles, which answers you find by jumping to other pages. Meanwhile, the 3D-world on the desk is incredibly detailed. The transition between these two worlds is quick and smooth, offering a combination of unique gameplay for young and old.

Capcom nails the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, delivering the nostalgic experience exactly as you remember it - but better. While some early 2000s quirks and content changes remain, the pure fun of fighting zombies, facing off against psychos, and saving survivors is as engaging as ever.

Edge of Sanity delivers an atmospheric, Lovecraftian horror experience with strong characters and a tense start, but loses momentum after the first act. As the plot drags and camp management becomes repetitive, the initial tension fades into indifference. It's a decent pick for horror fans, but there are stronger games in the genre.

Funko Fusion struggles to find its audience, with repetitive gameplay, messy narrative, and dated franchises that may not appeal to everyone.

Blue Manchu once again produces a memorable mishmash with Wild Bastards. The setting contains many peculiarities, but it is mainly the legion of playable characters and their peculiar personalities that give the game its own character. In Wild Bastards you experience a highlight when you go on an excursion with your favorite bastards and use the unique skills that they have to offer. The combat is namely entertaining enough due to the various inspirations from other genres and solid, if not somewhat thoughtful, gunplay. It is therefore extra unfortunate that Wild Bastards suffers from just too many headaches to overlook it. Some elements of the game feel underdeveloped, such as the random relationship management and the indifference in the available maps. The main culprit, however, is the pacing of the game, which sometimes makes you feel like you are really stuck in certain parts for far too long. This is an issue in the main campaign, but then also kicks the replayability off the horse. Nevertheless, there's plenty to love in Wild Bastards, even if a one-way ticket through the intergalactic Wild West is enough.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions has solid controls and instantly immerses you in its magical world, but it lacks sufficient content to keep players engaged long-term.
