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...

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.

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.

The Wild Gentlemen once again showcase their mastery of film-noir with Chicken Police: Into the HIVE!. Despite its short playtime, it's a must-play, thanks to its fantastic music and sublime voice acting that draw you in until the credits roll.

Metal Slug Tactics takes a fresh turn, adding tactical depth to the classic Metal Slug charm – and it works! For fans of RPGs and newcomers alike, it promises hours of fun at a fair price of €24.99.

The audiovisual upgrades breathe new life into familiar environments, while Sonic's levels feel somewhat dated. Nevertheless, it’s a rewarding adventure for fans.

Slitterhead delivers a wild, exotic horror-action experience with quirks that both thrill and perplex. While the story and gameplay have rough edges, those who look past them will find twisted combat, eerie monsters, and an unforgettable cult-classic vibe from Bokeh Game Studio.

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.

Bloober Team delivers a visually stunning and emotionally gripping experience with the Silent Hill 2 remake that honors the original. While it has minor performance issues and doesn’t always surpass its predecessor, it feels like a warm return to "our special place."

SULFUR presents itself as a distinctive boomer shooter, captivating players with its charming aesthetics and engaging gameplay. 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.

Shin chan: Shiro and the Coal Town offers a fun and colorful adventure, perfect for fans of farming sims without too much depth. The short day-night cycle can be frustrating, but exploration is a delight, even though the series' signature crude humor is absent.

Super Mario Party Jamboree delivers plenty of fun with a packed Party Mode, featuring tons of characters, strong boards, and entertaining minigames. While not all the other modes hit the mark, Nintendo provides a complete party experience for everyone to enjoy.

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.

Amber Isle is a wholesome game where you manage a shop and restore an island, offering a relaxing and varied gameplay experience. With the story, you unlock new areas and friendly dinosaurs. Which are incredible charming and steal the show. While the progressions is well-balanced, the game can feel repetitive in the beginning. Along with the occasional bugs and missing quality of life-features the game has its flaws.

Just Dance 2025 is once again a solid party game with great music, perfect for a fun night with friends. However, Ubisoft offers little new, aside from a few extra songs. This means that there is no real need to buy this edition for returning players.

Nikoderiko: The Magical World feels like a nostalgic nod to classic mascot platformers, offering a fun balance of challenge and simplicity. While it borrows heavily from older games and lacks a distinct identity, the co-op mode shines, making it great for couch co-op multiplayer. At a budget-friendly price of thirty euros, it’s a solid choice for fans of platformers looking for a lighthearted, cooperative experience.

Neva captivates with its stunning, Impressionist-inspired design and heartfelt narrative, exploring the evolving bond between Neva and Alba through the seasons. While combat may lack variety, the focus on storytelling makes it a perfect fit for fans of meaningful, shorter gaming experiences.

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.
