Slime Rancher 2 is a worthy sequel that preserves the original’s charm while adding smart improvements. Rainbow Island brims with secrets, new slimes, and the freedom to play at your own pace, enhanced by tight controls and a dynamic soundtrack. Though the abundance of options can feel overwhelming, it’s more of a luxury—there’s always something to do. Cozy, colorful, and surprisingly deep, it’s a must-play for fans of the genre.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles still delivers a strong story, now with voice acting and smart QoL upgrades. The HD visuals are solid, though 2.5D pixel art would've been a nice touch. It's a shame not all content was included, as that would've significantly boosted the replay value. still delivers a strong story, now with voice acting and smart QoL upgrades.

Arctic Awakening offers a short but engaging narrative full of mystery, encouraging players to piece together its story through exploration. The game’s atmospheric environments and beautiful soundtrack create an immersive experience, with Alfie's dialogue adding emotional depth. Player choices influence the storyline and ending, while even minor choices and items subtly contribute to character development. Despite a few technical issues like awkward climbing and minor bugs, they don't significantly impact the overall enjoyment.

Is Silent Hill f worthy of the name or just a cheap Konami cash grab? Only the ones who can separate the name from that town in our restless dreams, will be able to acknowledge NeoBards' extraordinary attempt to plunge the player in an authentic 1960's Japan Silent Hill experience, woven together by thought-provoking metaphors and brutal melee action. The only things holding Silent Hill f back are the occasional graphical mishaps and the obscurity of some puzzles. But if you manage to look past those indiscretions and are able to avoid constant comparison to previous namesakes, there's a beautiful but tragic Silent Hill experience to be had.

The House of Tesla is an engaging puzzle game that lets you solve the mystery around one of the biggest projects from inventor Nikola Tesla. The game features a story-driven structure with well-designed and varied puzzles across different locations. While exploring can be confusing at first you quickly learn to identify puzzle elements. When stuck, the hint system offers help without immediately spoiling the solutions. Though it doesn’t quite reach the level of The Room franchise, it comes impressively close.

Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree looks stylish and atmospheric, but the repetitive combat and slow pacing hold it back. Fans of Japanese mythology may find charm here, though those seeking depth will be disappointed.

No Nintendo Switch 2 available? No problem! Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a fast, fun, and content-rich kart racer that more than holds its own. It’s a bit chaotic and the visible roadmap teases what you can’t access yet, but the core game absolutely delivers the speed.

Formula Legends is a fun, stylized racer that blends sim and arcade elements surprisingly well. While weak collision detection and texture loading hurt the experience, its €19.99 price tag and F1 charm make it worth a spin for fans.

DK Island & Emerald Hunt tries to feel fresh, but mostly comes off as a quick cash grab. Fun for a short while, but the repetition kicks in fast and the fun quickly fades.

Henry Halfhead is short, simple, and not a game you play for depth or challenge. But if you’re open to its playful charm and quirky touch, you’ll find a unique little experience that briefly lifts you out of the everyday grind.

NHL 26 is the best hockey experience right now, but it feels more like an upgrade from NHL 25 than a true overhaul. It's great for fans, but the high entry barrier and EA's need for more innovation leave room for improvement in the next edition.

If No, I'm not a Human manages to do one thing, it's making you second guess your own humanity by putting you in front of the mirror of prejudice. What starts off as a seemingly simple lo-fi project, quickly turns into a nifty social experiment where every choice could potentially be a fatal one and you'll never know when consequences will come knocking at your door. It's a shame that the experience can get ruined by random softlocks, made worse by a lack of auto-save. I guess the developers are humans after all.

LEGO Voyagers offers a solid and relaxing experience with good controls and fun puzzles, but the lack of dialogue and direction may put some players off. For those who don't mind, it's a great game to enjoy at your own pace with a friend.

Team Cherry once again proves their mastery with Hollow Knight: Silksong, a must-play Metroidvania that shines in combat, platforming, and exploration. With breathtaking visuals, a superb soundtrack, and a richly detailed world, it offers an adventure that feels both authentic and absorbing. Though its punishing difficulty demands full focus, the reward of overcoming its trials is unmatched.

Lost Soul Aside offers solid action with fun combat and combo variety, but its story and voice acting fall short. The exploration is satisfying, and replay value is boosted by modes like Boss Rush, though the difficulty lacks challenge.

Dead Reset has me in a bit of an impasse. One the obe hand, Dark Rift presents a fairly decent FMV with mostly adequate acting and an interesting gimmick of a death loop, in which bad choices can potentially be altered by making different ones in another cycle. But on the other hand, the developer reveals way too soon and in an obvious way that choices don't really matter all that much and story branching comes close to an Alabama family tree. If olny they could reset their own development proces to right some of these missteps...

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is still a joy to play three years later, especially with the new Star World on Switch 2. The reused levels make it feel less fresh, but the upgraded visuals and performance make this extra adventure a must for fans.

Drag x Drive showcases the Nintendo Switch 2’s mouse feature but feels more like a gimmick. Fun for a quick play, but its dull design and limited content won’t keep you hooked. Using wheelchair basketball is a smart and fresh touch.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: The Order of Giants is short but sweet. The DLC is packed with mystery, solid puzzles, and that classic Indy flair. It’s not as grand as the main game, but if you’re craving more, this DLC delivers a fun (if pricey) ride.

Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion builds on its predecessor with flashy combat and deep customization, but not all ideas land equally well. Aerial battles and repetitive sidequests slow the pace, and the story lacks depth to leave a lasting impact. The result is an enjoyable yet uneven experience, best suited for fans of the genre.

NBA 2K26 is the slickest, smoothest entry in the series to date, with tight gameplay and a surprisingly heartfelt MyCareer mode. Microtransactions still lurk, but whether you pay or play, this is the undisputed MVP of basketball games.

Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is a roguelike bullet hell set in Norse mythology, where each twenty-minute run takes you through uniquely designed worlds with fitting enemies and missions. The gameplay offers variety through different classes and divine abilities, each with distinct combat styles and upgrade paths. While the game includes permanent upgrades and unlockable weapons, it lacks satisfying long-term rewards and progression tracking. As a result, it may not sustain long play sessions, but it's still an enjoyable game to play in short bursts.

What Cronos: The New Dawn lacks in originality when it comes to gameplay mechanics and the overall setting, it makes up for with a stellar slow burn story concerning an apocalyptic event and the role the stoic protagonist (or rather its employer) plays in it. Bloober Team has effectively taken everything good from its obvious sources of inspiration and poured all of it in a dystopian biomass covered 1980's Krakow setting while mesmerizing its audience with a stellar synthesizer soundtrack. It's just a shame that they failed to copy how their sources of inspiration handled dodge mechanics or the implementation of a map though.

Metal Eden stands out as my favorite shooter of 2025 so far, blending a gorgeously crafted cyberpunk setting with rapid, fluid movement that keeps the action relentless. Strong voice acting and sharp dialogue give the story real presence, while the eccentric, upgradeable weapons make the firefights memorable. Though the campaign is short and the busy interface sometimes clashes with the style, Reikon Games once again proves their strength in shaping unforgettable cyberpunk games.

Hirogami stands out with its origami-inspired world and clever animal transformations that keep platforming fresh. Smooth, intuitive controls make it approachable, while secrets and optional challenges add real depth. Whether you’re chasing 100% completion or just enjoying the ride, it’s a rewarding experience.

Hell is Us opens with a punishingly slow pace and uneven narrative delivery, making it easy to drift away. Push past that, though, and you’re met with a strange, unsettling world where atmosphere, artistry, and depth in combat and puzzles all leave their mark. In the end, its contradictions define it: frustrating yet fascinating.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is sharp, stylish, and brutally satisfying. Simply a must for fans of tough 2D platformers. Some levels drag and backtracking can annoy, but the slick combat and gorgeous visuals more than make up for it. Retro vibes with a modern edge.

SHUTEN ORDER is an ambitious game that combines five distinct genres into a cohesive experience. Each section reveals more about the world and characters, with a story that deepens over time. However, frequent dialogue and gameplay interruptions can make the pacing feel slow and limit player engagement. Despite this, the gameplay is solid and the unique art style and Japanese voice acting reflect the developers' own style and cultural background.
