Created mostly for young gamers who are keen on the Netflix series, Fast & Furious: Spy Racers - Rise of Sh1ft3r is a fun, arcade racing game that will appeal to everyone who enjoyed games like Mario Kart and Blur.

Plagued with many problems and a lot of questionable design choices, Battlefield 2042 is not what fans of the franchise are used to get by DICE. We look forward to many changes and optimizations so that the game will truly deliver what was initially promised.

Halo Infinite is a true return to form for the series with simple aesthetics, a stoic character and a lonely quiet story reminiscence of the original Halo game. With the exceptional addition of the grappleshot refreshing the classic Halo formula, this is a very bold new step for the Halo universe.

Disciples: Liberation is a vast turn-based/ RPG/ city management hybrid that would have been great if some aspects of the game were trimmed down. The core ideas behind the gameplay are implemented well. Skills, units, battle mechanics, dialog choices are classy. On the other hand, the writing is juvenile and the low level of challenge can make the game feel tedious.

Shin Megami Tensei V is an overall decent game that retains all the familiar characteristics of the series (i.e. high challenge, great demons to fuse with and grinding). However, this new entry is a missed opportunity that lacks impact due to its performance issues and the repeatable areas of exploration.

Three legendary games that are part of the all-time gaming pantheon. Too bad that in their definitive editions they didn't get the respect and care they truly deserved.

PJ Masks: Heroes of the Night is the ideal choice for very small ages and kids that play for their first time. Despite the simplicity that helps this ages though, you can’t ignore that it is extremely repeatable from start to finish.

With its simplicity, cuteness and overall well crafted gameplay The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf reminded us some of the best 3D platformers of the past that have become so rare these days. If you are in a search for a game that you can play with your child, you should definitely check this out.

Even if you feel extremely tired from the oversaturation of card-based games you should give Inscryption a change. Its fresh take on the genre offers an especially clever satire of the card-based motif and an overall experience that in the end feels like a well-crafted story-based game disguised as a roguelike. Its full story comes to an end at around 8 hours, but not before it provides a wealth of unexpected twists and turns in both its gameplay and presentation.

Call of Duty: Vanguard brings some interesting improvements to the multiplayer mode and the gameplay is quick and deadly -a departure from last year’s Black Ops: Cold War. On the downside it makes you feel that you are playing a modern shooter and not a WWII one. The campaign looks great, although it doesn’t contain any memorable moments. Zombies mode is even more accessible to new players, but is in dire need of content.

They Always Run gives the impression of a proof of concept that didn’t have the time or resources to fully materialize in a complete and finalized game. As it stands the combat is very static and devoid of energy, with just glimpses of a more exciting choreography, the story comes extremely abruptly to a (non) finale, and the audio is entirely lackluster.

Riders Republic has all the annoying elements of a modern game that wants to keep the player constantly in their game, so they can spend more money. At least, it’s doing it with a very good gameplay, improved in all the aspects that went wrong with Steep.

The people over at Playground Games proved -yet again- that they are capable of delivering the very best arcade racing experience. Forza Horizon 5 is truly a superb game in a league of its own.

Mario Party Superstars comes to fill in the shoes of its mediocre predecessor by relying on successful mini-games throughout the series and gameplay mechanics that are tailored to suit players out and about. A beautiful recreation of classic game boards and a vast collection of classic mini-games, up to Mario Party 10, succeed in reminding us why the series has been a regular in Nintendo’s home consoles.

A rather familiar anime fighting game that even though it does not excel in any way, it truly shows CyberConnect2's expertise on the genre.

Eidos Montreal has set new standards for the gaming industry when it comes to the design and script of companions in video games. While the gameplay is “simply ok”, the love and care that was given in the creation of this world, its wonderful soundtrack, its intricate accessibility settings, its lovely storyline and its simply amazing companions and their constant banter, make Guardians of the Galaxy an absolute must play for any gamer.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania is full of content and a joyful multiplayer to compete with your friends, but its beauty seems to be matched only by its insane difficulty.

Age of Empires IV is a dream-come-true for all the fans of the franchise. It has everything we wanted, most of the things we hoped for, it is accessible to newcomers and challenging to the veterans. It is built with great attention to detail and obvious passion. If we sift the game through the finest sieve, we will find some issues here and there, mostly in graphical elements and in the slight hesitation of the devs to be innovative. We will do so, though, since we always ask for the best we can have and Relic is the one who can make it happen.

House of Ashes is the most ambitious episode in Supermassive Games' The Dark Pictures Anthology yet. But having a well crafted story and great characters is not enough when many elements of the game -like the new, free camera or the many technical issues- are problematic thus keeping it from achieving greatness.

Having the same gameplay core as its spiritual parents (Left for Dead), Back 4 Blood implements some new tricks to keep the player hooked. Light RPG elements, through weapon customization and deck building, enrich the basic formula of the game, providing a much needed modern approach.

Being made by a solo developer The Alien Cube shows remarkable talent from Alessandro Guzzo in his ability to deliver high quality sceneries, accompanied with a well-thought sound design. It may only be three hours long, but at the same time provides a complete story that could very well be a part of an anthology of Lovecraftian stories.

While the similarities with Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments are clear in every aspect of the game, Hercule Poirot’s newest outing simply cannot reach the same standards as that game. There are interesting things here, but once more the Agatha Christie series stays on the same average levels as it has been since 2005, hampered further by a distinct step back on the graphics.

A tidy and firm package of three of the most consistent and solid first person shooters in the history of gaming. The “Warhead” chapter is absent, but overall the creativity, the technical achievements and the vision behind the games is omnipresent and omnipotent.

An over-the-top but average roguelike game with an interesting card-upgrade system, crazy and colorful setting and flamboyant, eccentric aesthetics. It is certainly worth a try, but there's nothing... “magical” about it.

Industria creates the impression of a concept game, or a prologue, that wouldn’t be far fetched if it was given as a demo for a granter game. Though it is commendable that a two-person team mainly developed the game, this does not erase the fact that this dystopian world is derivative and highly underdeveloped.

Milestone awakes our nostalgia for the beloved Hot Wheels from our childhood with this extremely well designed, addictive and beautiful game.

A refreshingly realistic take on the game of football and tons of content should be enough for fans to dive once again in the virtual stadiums of FIFA. However, Ultimate Team remains the gaming industry's most aggressively toxic loot box environment. Also, that precious next-gen feeling will have to wait.

MercurySteam, after being "baptized in battle" with Metroid: Samus Returns, delivers a superb game with Metroid Dread, a captivating, fresh take on the Metroid franchise, that is also true to the vision of the old games. Either you are a fan of Samus Aran or not, this is a "metroidvania" you should not miss out.
