Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a well-crafted remake that breathes new life into one of the series’ weaker entries. While the main story stays mostly the same, the improved visuals, refined gameplay, and meaningful new content alongside the Dark Ties storyline make it worth revisiting. New to the series and played Kiwami 1 & 2? Then this one’s a no-brainer.

Stormgate’s early access hints at potential, but it’s clear that it’s not yet the revolutionary RTS some might have hoped for. The game shows promise with its gameplay foundation, but there’s still a lot of work needed to refine it. As it stands, it’s a game worth watching, but not one to jump into just yet. [Early Access Score = 30]

Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & The White Guardian isn’t a revolutionary JRPG, but it’s a delightful one. Strong protagonists, accessible combat, and a colorful presentation make it engaging for both newcomers and veterans. Cameos from familiar alchemists add nostalgia, though the shop mechanic feels underused. Despite minor shortcomings, it’s a cozy and well-crafted addition to the Atelier series.

NTE: Neverness to Everness delivers a stylish and surprisingly varied gacha experience, packed with activities and strong presentation. While none of its systems truly stand out, the mix of vibes and accessible progression make it easy to sink hours into. The real test will be its long-term support, but for now, NTE has all the ingredients to become a lasting hit.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake brings the beloved horror classic back to modern platforms, sending players into the cursed Minakami Village where restless spirits lurk around every corner. The eerie atmosphere and stellar audio design shine, even if ghost fights drag on a bit too long. Miserable trip? Absolutely - and that’s exactly why it works.

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.

Afterlove EP is an atmospheric visual novel with a gripping story of grief and recovery. The strong atmosphere and music impress, but the limited interaction and lack of overall voice acting bring the world down a bit. Still, it remains recommended for fans of slice-of-life narrative games.

It's nice to see that British satire doesn't flinch when it comes to dealing with current political developments and if you can stomach the obvious political tongue-in-cheek humor, Earth Must Die is a must play. Believe me when I say that being an incompetent, inconsiderate and oblivious asshole of a leader has never felt better. The WASD controls might be a bit finicky and the dynamic camera can occasionally be a pain in the sphincter, but apart from that, Earth Must Die has my vote of approval.

For true soulslike fans, WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is a strong recommendation — even a must-play. It might not be the absolute best soulslike out there, but developer Leenzee has delivered a very solid game on many fronts. What really stands out is the well-balanced mix between exploration and intense combat. Add to that the varied environments, plenty of mechanics to tinker with, and smooth-feeling fights, and you've got a compelling package. Where things do fall short, however, is the game’s performance — even on the PlayStation 5 Pro, it struggled to run smoothly. But if you can look past that, WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is definitely worth your time.

Romeo is a Dead Man is an unapologetically bizarre experience that screams Suda51 from start to finish. Its bold artistic flair is backed by layered, engaging gameplay, despite some rough edges. Think Romeo & Juliet reimagined as a fever dream of pop culture, and you’re getting close.

Hollowbody is a strong horror game that perfectly captures the nostalgic atmosphere and play style of old Silent Hill games. The stark artstyle, compelling sound design and emotional story make this a must-play for horror fans.

Homura Hime delivers where it matters most: tight combat, challenging boss fights and a satisfying gameplay loop for action fans. Sadly, everything around it feels underwhelming, with flat characters and uninspired level design. If gameplay is your main draw, there’s still plenty here to enjoy.

Dosa Divas has a strong heart and delivers a flavorful story, even if the execution doesn’t always land. Its systems work but lack depth, and at around nine hours, it feels a bit short. It's a game that sticks with you for what it aims to be, not for how well it achieves it.

The Sims 4: Enchanted by Nature is an atmospheric expansion with strong occult gameplay and beautifully designed fairies, but its execution feels unbalanced. While the magical elements shine, the nature aspect falls flat. Fantasy and fairy fans will find plenty to enjoy, but those expecting a true nature-focused experience may be left wanting.

Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac is a colorful trip down memory lane, but lacks the variety to truly keep you hooked. Fun for kids and nostalgic fans, but too simple for the seasoned gamer.

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...

DeathSprint 66 throws you into a neon-cyberpunk world packed with fast-paced, chaotic races. The action is intense, though the lack of counterplay and a weak soundtrack might dampen the thrill. Still, fans of bloody, high-speed racing will find plenty of challenge and excitement to keep coming back.

Wildgate is a tough game to pin down—it’s a fully-fledged multiplayer experience with deep, interconnected systems and distinct roles that offer something truly unique. However, its steep learning curve, poor matchmaking, and shallow PvE elements make it hard to recommend unless you're ready to fully commit. The odds of walking away satisfied feel about as slim as escaping with the Artifact.

Creatures of Ava offers a familiar 'collect and save' experience with charming visuals, but lacks the depth and innovation to truly stand out. While it’s enjoyable for a while, it doesn’t quite capture the magic needed to keep players fully engaged.

With Mafia: The Old Country, Hangar 13 aims to please the crowd by returning to the much desired linear Italian drama form. While stunning graphics and a well written - though highly predictable - story raise The Old Country to a level where you can almost smell the lemons and oranges through your screen, performance issues and underwhelming combat stain this fine-threaded Italian shirt. Nevertheless, Mafia: The Old Country has been good to me and offered me an experience I couldn't refuse.

The Mortuary Assistant: Definitive Edition delivers a chilling and immersive horror experience that will keep you on edge. With its atmospheric design and unsettling gameplay, it’s a must-play for horror fans, though it may be too intense for the faint of heart.

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.

Demonschool serves up a delightfully random story full of dry humor and tight combat, though the overall package can feel a bit stretched at times. The technical execution lacks some polish, but if you can look past that, a devilishly entertaining time awaits.

All Will Fall offers a solid foundation for construction fans but feels like an Early Access game due to issues like AI pathing, a clunky camera, and repetitive events. Due to unlockable scenario’s there is progression. However, while there is enough content, the concept lacks depth, with little world-building. Overall, the game can be enjoyable for those who love building but falls short in terms of overall experience.

Escape from Tarkov delivers unmatched realism and punchy audio, but it’s still a ruthless, cluttered challenge with big technical problems. If you’re after an ultra-realistic shooter, this is the one — just be ready to treat it more like a lifestyle than a quick gaming session.

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. However, its ambition is weighed down by technical flaws and performance issues. Happy hunting, stalker!

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.

MLB The Show 26 only improves on a few fronts, while most of the experience remains largely unchanged from last year. The aging visuals are starting to show, though the gameplay still feels great and the soundtrack once again hits the right notes. Veterans may find little reason to return, but newcomers will still discover a solid baseball sim.
