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.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 feels like four games in one. Very ambitious, but uneven to say the least. The co-op story and PvE mode miss the mark pretty bad, while Zombies and multiplayer carry the experience. Not a classic, but there’s fun to be had if you know what you’re here for.

Placed alongside Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated and The Cosmic Shake, Titans of the Tide shows just how far Purple Lamp has come - delivering the strongest, most lovingly crafted SpongeBob 3D platformer to date with slick duo-gameplay and deeper level design, even if lingering issues, like stiff animations, performance hiccups, missing QoL features, and Day One DLC keep this otherwise great trip from reaching a true Best Day Ever.

All Hands on Deck delivers a relaxed co-op experience with clever puzzles and a dreamy style, perfect for getting creative together. Minor technical hiccups keep it just shy of the top tier, but its charm and teamwork focus make it a reliable pick for any co-op session, offline or online.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment delivers a familiar dose of Zelda spectacle with powerful combat and improved performance. Yet the action slips into repetition and lacks real innovation. A solid musou, but mainly for diehard Zelda fans.

Winter Burrow presents a charming idea with a cute story about a mouse returning home and helping forest animals. Its beautiful hand-drawn art adds appeal, but the lack of maps and quest markers makes exploration confusing. The quest-based structure limits freedom and can lead to frustration despite well-executed survival elements. Overall, it’s a cozy yet uneven experience that balances moments of joy with bouts of irritation.

Possessor(s) is a stylish Metroidvania with an intriguing world, strong atmosphere, and a satisfying mix of action and exploration. The dynamic between Luca and Rhem gives it a unique buddy-cop vibe, while the challenging combat and upgrades keep things engaging. Despite a few frustrating moments of searching, this is an adventure genre fans shouldn’t miss.

With Lumines Arise, Monstars and Enhance show once more how to bring a timeless classic to the modern era without breaking the mold. The trusted gameplay of Lumines shines brighter than ever, accompanied by stellar visuals and a banger EDM soundtrack. The less than optimal readability of certain levels is the only thing worth puzzling over, but that's a small obstacle to clear.

Once Upon a Katamari rolls straight into that Katamari-shaped hole in your heart with all the quirky charm you’d expect. It doesn’t change much and honestly, it doesn’t need to. New levels, same absurd joy. Count us in till the end of time.

Rue Valley is a clever, daring time loop game filled with mental puzzles and meaningful choices. The repetition demands some patience, but its strong story and fresh mechanics make it absolutely worth your time.

Nintendo has brought Super Mario Galaxy + Galaxy 2 to the Switch, offering a great opportunity for platformer and Mario fans. For those who’ve already played the games, the price of seventy euros might be a tough sell for essentially the same experience.

Paw Patrol Rescue Wheels: Championship starts strong with its license and monster truck charm, but quickly crashes due to endless repetition and sensory overload. Even kids lose interest fast. At €39.99, you'd be better off with pricier alternatives.

Anno 117: Pax Romana offers a deeper experience despite keeping its core gameplay formula intact. The additions of research, gods, and cultural elements expand player choices and enhance progression alongside familiar population systems. Players have more freedom than ever, especially in sandbox mode, while the campaign provides a guided but worthwhile story experience. Minor bugs and missing decorations don’t detract from what is an engaging and richly atmospheric Roman and Celtic economic city-builder.

With THRASHER, Brian Gibson shows once more where his skills lie: creating trippy neon-filled worlds in which players control a shiny critter. Whether it's a beetje or a space-eel, intriguing scenarios are guaranteed, even if THRASHER's casual friendly gameplay feels like a psychedelic version of Fruit Ninja which doesn't really translate well to gamepad controls.

Service with a Shotgun delivers its charm with a smile, but one tinged with disappointment. While the premise is clever, its visual novel elements fall short — the writing lacks the emotional depth and pacing found in stronger titles. The attempt to mix multiple gameplay systems gives it a unique flavor, yet most of these mechanics are underdeveloped. Still, the personal vision of solo creator Nolyn Vansyckle keeps the game from collapsing entirely; like a quirky shop at the end of the street, it’s pleasant to browse, but ultimately offers little lasting reward.

Tales of Xillia Remastered brings classic JRPG charm to modern platforms, with heartfelt characters and rock-solid combat. It shows its age in pacing and visuals, but fans and newcomers alike will find a rewarding adventure beneath the old-school sheen.

EA and PopCap could have easily let Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted blossom, but instead we got a port overrun with weeds. Sure, the classic strategic gameplay still shines, and there’s plenty of content and modes to enjoy, but several baffling choices hold it back. Downgraded visuals, removed dynamic music, a mishmash of UIs from different versions, and tone-deaf art direction all make this version feel lifeless. Plants vs. Zombies remains a fantastic strategy game, but Replanted is far from the best way to experience it—and both the game and its loyal fans deserve better then this.

Despite As Long As You're Here's short runtime of roughly sixty minutes, Autoscopia Interactive successfully manages to utilize that hour to perfectly show you the problematic unraveling of Alzheimers disease. Through gripping storytelling and effective use of interaction, As Long As You're Here creatively provokes thoughts and could even pull at one's heartstrings, especially if you're familiar with Alzheimer's devastating effects.

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake shines with stunning visuals, atmospheric music, and smart QoL upgrades that breathe new life into the classics. The turn-based battles remain challenging, the extra content offers hours of fun — a must-play for every JRPG fan.

Ironically, it pains me to say that Anshar Studios Painkiller has turned out to be one of those co-op shooters that just doesn't hit the mark the way you hoped it would. Devoid of a decent Painkiller-worthy backstory, 2025's Painkiller primary focus seems to be to just be punishing in hyperchaotic ways that drain the fun out of the combat loop. Adding the fact that most guns don't really feel punchy and the disappointing prospect of a meager nine repetitive levels at launch, Painkiller could be compared to over-the-counter Paracetamol: works for some, but not too long.

The Séance of Blake Manor captivates with its atmosphere and story but stumbles over time pressure and imbalance. An intriguing mystery that never fully comes to life, beautiful to visit, but hard to stay in for long.

Wreckreation feels like a well-intentioned clone of Burnout: Paradise. The foundation is familiar and fun, but without the soul of the original, it ends up feeling empty. Great for an afternoon of racing, but the shine wears off quickly.

Jurassic World Evolution 3 is easily the strongest entry in the series, even if it doesn’t evolve in every area. The strategic gameplay remains simple and familiar, but a rich campaign, varied challenge maps, and an outstanding sandbox mode make up for it. The new Modular Building system and Frontier Workshop elevate creative park-building to new heights. Frontier, after careful consideration, I’ve decided to endorse your park.

Double Dragon Revive aims for arcade nostalgia but forgets what made those glory days fun. The gameplay’s flat, features feel unfinished, and the price is steep. Old-school fans might still squeeze a few hours of fun out of it, but you should wait for a discount.

The Lonesome Guild is a charming but shallow and simplistic game. While the story and world blend well with the gameplay, much of its potential goes unused, with limited world-building and childish dialogue. The game is visually appealing, but repetitive fetch quests and poorly marked side missions hinder exploration. While the combat has smooth mechanics it lacks challenge. Features like character switching and the relationship-based skill tree add depth, but their impact is diminished by the overall simplicity.

PowerWash Simulator 2 is a strong sequel that expands on the original with a full campaign of 38 enjoyable, stress-relieving levels and some fun interactive surprises. The game adds personality by letting you run your own business, earn miniature rewards, and decorate your office, though this feature isn’t always flawless. Visuals, tools, and mechanics have all been noticeably improved, including better soap functionality and reduced reliance on ladders. Co-op play now includes partial progression and split-screen, making it a must-play for fans of the original.

The Outer Worlds 2 expands on everything that made the original great, sharp writing, satisfying combat, and real player choice. Despite a clunky UI and some rough edges, this witty space RPG delivers a rich, reactive world that’s truly yours to shape.

Whether Tormented Souls should be considered an old-school Resident Evil clone or not, Dual Effects has spared no expense to prove that Tormented Souls 2 deserves its own place in the retro-style survival horror genre. Improved in almost every thinkable aspect, Tormented Souls 2 supersedes its predecessor with flying colors. The only thing putting a damper on this feat is the sub-par combat mechanics and the poor enemy AI that make every combat encounter a tedious chore.
