The new Test Drive game is, unfortunately, marred by several issues, giving the impression of a title in (very) early access. Its always online restriction is especially problematic, causing many of the game's major frustratios. Additionally, the car list is quite limited compared to the competition, and the handling model is derivative.

FC25 is, once again, more of an update rather than a full-fledged sequel. Nevertheless, there's a reason it remains the king of the sport, thanks to some welcome quality-of-life improvements in Ultimate Team and the well-executed addition of Rush Mode.

While Beyond Galaxyland may not deliver the grandiose space opera it initially promises, its beautiful pixel-art, memorable soundtrack, and undeniable passion of its solo developer are sure to capture the interest of sci-fi fans.

Following in the footsteps of genre giants, Ara: History Untold tells the story of building an empire that stands the test of time. With impressive visuals that allow players to connect deeply with the map, and mechanics that aim to transform the aspects of growth and construction, the game offers a refreshing experience. However, it's hindered by flawed AI, poor diplomacy, and issues in upgrading units. Ara: History Untold holds great potential, but will probably need some more time before it can fully realize it.

Evotiction came out of nowhere to deliver a pure stealth experience, a genre that has almost faded. While it may be a bit on the shorter side, its well-designed gameplay mechanics make it stand out.

Enotria is one of the few soulslike AA games that successfully establishes its own identity. Its world stands out in the genre, thanks to its bright environments drawing inspired by the Italian Renaissance architecture and the beautiful scenery of the Amalfi Coast. Hopefully, in their next game, Jyamma Games will further showcase their great talent by creating more memorable boss fights and increasing enemy variety.

Caravan SandWitch could be described as a pocket-sized, peaceful open-world that offers a zen-like experience with enjoyable exploration. However, it could benefit from stronger relationships building to really capture some emotionally charged scenes towards its finale.

Dead Rising belongs to a different era, characterized by abundant experimentation. This is a game that thrives on intricacies, like its highly punishing time limits for completing even the main missions. It remains a unique zombie game with the potential to offer an unforgettable experience.

Echoes of Wisdom offers a variety of clever puzzles that go hand in hand with its excellent gameplay and charming story, which looks and feels like it came straight out of a cozy fairytale. It's nothing short of a highly memorable and fulfilling experience.

Crypt Custodian goes a slightly different way from the typical indie metroidvania by offering an isometric perspective, which it fully leverages with enjoyable platforming and a charming world to explore.

Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection Arcade Classics is nothing short of excellent. With seven amazing fighting games bundled together, it offers a huge variety of characters and well-designed bonuses, making it a must-have for fans of the genre.

Warhammer 40,000 is without a doubt an enjoyable game. The epic scale of the universe is greatly captured offering moments of fun as you try to survive the enemy onslaught. However, the one-note combat system and the limited enemy variety can't help but lead to a sense of repetition halfway the campaign.

OVRDARK delivers a functional horror experience that can scare players, while also adequately drawing inspiration from Resident Evil 7. However, its weak voice acting, subpar sound design, and short length detract from the overall experience.

Both games of the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection have their strengths and weaknesses. However, at the end of the day, fans of the series will definitely enjoy them, thanks to the signature humour and the depth of their stories.

NBA 2K25 is definitely a step up from its predecessor, with richer, more natural animations and an impressive amount of content that feels nearly endless.

Hollowbody tries hard to reach the heights of the Silent Hill series but several issues holds it back. Its eccentric camera use only often leads to frustration, the visuals are lackluster and the combat system is highly derivative. While a few scenes effectively capture the game's horror aesthetic, they are not enough to create a memorable experience.

Visions of Mana is a welcome return to the legendary JRPG series, featuring a well-written story, beautiful visuals, and cleverly designed dungeons. While it may start off slowly in the introductory chapters and the battle system could benefit from some refinements, overall, fans of the series will be pleased with this new chapter.

Tiebreak has the potential to become an enticing game for tennis fans, thanks to its large roster of players, official tournaments and events as well as the well-designed Djokovic Challenges mode. However, its lackluster career mode, mediocre A.I. and overall uninspired presentation keeps it from truly shine.

Team Asobi's talent shines brightly in Astro Bot, a rich platformer with great humor, extremely satisfying gameplay, and excellent level design. Beyond that, it serves as a beautiful love letter to PlayStation's 30 year legacy.

Despite some shortcomings in its menu design and the investigation mechanics, this new Famicom Detective Club chapter will more than satisfy fans of the series and of the visual novel genre alike, thanks to its mature writing and quality audio design.

Tactical Breach Wizards masterfully blends the use of magic abilities with the tactics of a modern SWAT team. The gameplay is brilliantly clever, easy to pick up yet with a lot of depth. As an added bonus, the story and characters are highly engrossing, with well-written humour and an interesting plot.

Fans of the Star Wars universe will find plenty to enjoy in Star Wars Outlaws, though it comes with a few caveats, most notably the tolerance threshold for derivative stealth gameplay. While the story is engaging and the game is quite beautiful visually and acoustically, it could benefit from a few more months of development time.

Deathbound's unique gameplay inclusion of controlling multiple characters certainly helps it to stand out in the overcrowded soulslike genre. However, despite the well-thought implementation of this mechanic, the game is held back by baffling gameplay decisions, unremarkable level design and forgetable boss encounters, preventing it from rising above mediocrity.

Conscript may not be in the same league with Singalis, nevertheless, it's a great survival horror experience with well-executed retro vibes. Kudos to its solo developer for excluding any paranormal events or monsters, relying entirely on the actual WW1 horror derived from surviving in the trenches.

Despite a few technical shortcoming, due to its indie nature, Dungeons of Hinterberg is a great adventure game, with clever puzzles and a unique theme. It replaces ski-resort tourism with exploring-dungeons-full-of-goblins tourism. It simple works, offering a relaxing experience with highly enjoyable gameplay and beautiful cel-shaded environments.

The Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition can be enjoyed by everyone but its ultimate value will be most appreciated by a select few. Its focus on attaining high scores by repeatedly playing the same levels could become tiresome, and the Joy-Cons may not be the best choise of gamepads for the required accuracy.

Gestalt is finally released, but unfortunately, it only meets the bare minimum to be considered a metroidvania. Platforming is very basic and both the combat and enemy behavior feels dated and perfunctory.

This new edition of Ubisoft's -highly- underrated platformer includes some welcoming quality-of-life improvements and enhanced visual, bringing it up to par with modern games.
