Kirby’s Dream Land DX is what anybody would expect of a Nintendo remake: a combination of sleek, new content along with the recipe of the traditional game that made its mark back in the day. The addition of new modes and the four-player co-op are things that can be completely enjoyed by new players and can be a great incentive for old players to return. A memorable adventure, yet one that should pave the way for a brand-new adventure, starring Kirby, and can really push the series forward.

Scars Above is a solid first effort by Mad Head Games, albeit flawed. The game has soulslike gameplay elements, yet with three difficulty levels it is still accessible to the mainstream crowd. The story doesn’t bring anything new to the sci-fi genre, but it doesn't disappoint either. If you are looking for a game to kill time between big releases, Scars Above is a good candidate.

For a first try from a studio without any previous games, Atomic Heart is certainly an achievement albeit rough around (some) edges. Its aesthetic and mixture of well crafted action, puzzles and exploration is dragged down a bit by an abysmal open-world design (which thankfully doesn’t last long) and a rather predictable story. Nevertheless, the overall experience created the feeling that Mundfish is a studio that we should keep our eyes on in the future.

Deliver Us Mars is a truly worthy sequel of the -underdog- Deliver Us the Moon. There is much more effort in developing its characters and the overall story complements and expands the topics of the first game. Expect a slow-burner, hard science fiction adventure and you will not be disappointed.

Much like modern Assassin Creed games, Hogwarts Legacy lives and dies on whether you get captured by its spectacular worldbuilding. There are clear and concrete bloatware issues and concerns, but for a Harry Potter fan it can be quite easy to ignore most of them and just dive in its impressive world, chockfull of activities and Wizarding World experiences.

A perfect remaster of a perfect game. The graphical upgrade is stunning and the game feels more like a total remake than a remaster. Metroid Prime is finally available in HD and is an essential buy for all Switch owners.

Αn interesting horror visual novel with mature themes, lots of choices and multiple endings. The characters are fleshed out, but the zombie apocalypse story has been used to death in the past and the game would benefit from voice overs which it doesn't have. Some problems with the controls when you come up with choices could also be easily averted.

There is not much to say about Elderand other than that is designed in the most typical way in all of its different aspects. Unfortunately, nothing worth pointing out about it be it positive or negative.

Returnal for PC brings technical improvements while retaining the excellent gameplay and overall feel of the PlayStation 5 version. It’s a must play title for roguelike fans, but mainstream gamers that want to experience Returnal’s highly addictive fast bullet hell gunplay should be armed with a lot of patience.

Wanted: Dead is marred by issues in its gameplay, story, and characters, but most of all its main downside is its short length with credits rolling only after around 6-7 hours.

15 years later, Dead Space remains one of the best action survival horror games and its new refreshed take is the perfect way for new players and old players alike to wear their adult diapers and jump (back) in the visceral horror of USG Ishimura.

Forspoken may have some merits, in terms of combat design and the magic parkour, but it is also, unfortunately, one of the most derivative games we have seen in many years in terms of open world design as well as questing. Especially the secondary quests are joyless and devoid of any redeeming value.

This remaster of Persona 4 Golden is an excellent JRPG, which should not be missed by anyone who loves the genre.

Persona 3 Portable's remaster is a huge opportunity for those who wanted to deal with this game, however its age -and everything that comes with it- will be a problem for those who can't stand the game design of a bygone era.

Fire Emblem: Engage is an unexpected main series title that is about to grace the Nintendo Switch consoles of tactical RPG fans. It is a game that manages to pushes the boundaries of the overall gameplay experience, yet makes some choices that lead us to the very distant past of the series, where various elements did not just matter. It is a pleasant adventure that will happily take some 40 hours of the players’ free time, yet fails to provide a monumental experience like its predecessor did.

Midnight Suns is a complete package created with passion and love, and that's why it stands out from many lifeless Marvel releases we've seen lately. It oozes substance, which is why not many will focus on the relatively weak visuals and technical problems.

As it happened with JoyMasher's previous games, here too our engagement was ultimately deemed enjoyable, as Moonrider satisfactorily treads on the easily digestible dictates of the genre and transports us convincingly and nostalgically to the older days of two-dimensional action platformers.

Finally, after almost 25years of half measures and mostly mediocre titles, Sonic has finally reached the 3D levels of gameplay it needed to reach. Yes, the pop in is absolutely inexcusable and the ancient gatekeeping grindy methods damage the flow of the game for no reason, but a wonderfully built base exists here, with a highly entertaining adventure in wonderfully melancholic world and a surprisingly well founded story, thankfully clean of Sonic’s annoying 3rd tier friends!

A wonderful return to form for the Syberia series after the misstep of the 3rd game, The World Before is not only a wonderfully written game that finishes the 20 year old story of Kate Walker, but also one of the best games from Benoit Sokal, the perfect goodbye to this legendary artist.

The Callisto Protocol is definitely not an evolution of Dead Space or even a title of equal quality that we wanted it to be. It’s certainly a pleasant experience for horror fans, thanks to the one-note, but satisfying combat, as well as it’s no-frills linear design. Nevertheless, it’s a by the numbers horror title without many (if any) surprises and a crucial lack of variety in enemies and combat/ survival situations.

It might seam a little strange that many iconic titles are absent, but Atari 50 is more than just a batch of random games. It is an interactive experience and a visit to the museum of video games. It’s not just a collection, it is a Celebration.

The variety in areas and monsters are its strong points, with the combat offering good fun with controversial choices. Its big problem is the lack of rhythm in its gameplay, as a result of which the title passes as an indifferent "binge watch" for the weekend.

Although Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure All Star Battle R has rich offline content to offer, in the long term it‘ll be difficult to keep the audience because the lack of rollback netcode creates problems in online matches.

A satisfactory bullet hell vertical shoot 'em up with many unlockable ships, branching paths and a dynamic difficulty that could benefit from better graphics and a more stable framerate.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales for the PC is a high quality port, optimized to run on any PC hardware configuration. With an interesting story and outstanding gameplay, Miles Morales is a game that should be in everyone's game library.

Pokémon Scarlet/Violet had the potential to become the most exciting adventure in its entire history. New battle mechanics, an improved UI and a gameplay that has matured over the years, along with the appearance of an open-world region, could have been the game that all fans deserved. Ultimately though, The Pokémon Company delivers a rough-on-the-edges, unpolished and underdeveloped game, with an amount of graphical and technical inconsistencies that reveal the lack of time the developers had.

The strange mixing of elements from different genres works amazingly giving a sweet rhythm to the game. Their implementation does not deviate from a more casual approach and the truth is that it leaves us a little unsatisfied for an implementation with more depth, for the sole reason that it works so well.
