Older gamers will have a reason to revisit Luigi's Mansion 2, thanks to a greater variety of ghosts and added locations. Nevertheless, it could benefit from a higher level of challenge and less backtracking.

Skald proved to be a great trip down memory lane, thanks to its visuals that are authentic to the Commodore 64 era. On top of that, it offers a well made cRPG experience that even though it doesn't offer anything new it will please fans of the genre.

Still Wakes the Deep may clock in just around 5-6 hours, but it could still benefit from cutting some of its length. The second half treads into repetitiveness due to its simplistic platforming and predictable stealth sequences. Nevertheless, it handles the horror aspect very well, and its realistic and believable dialogue overcomes its shortcomings.

Sushi Ben is slightly on the short side, but it nevertheless offers an enjoyable and relaxing experience with a fun story and pleasant manga art aesthetic.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is nothing short of a triumph for the puzzle games genre. Its excellent and challenging puzzle design is perfectly complemented by a beautifully minimalistic aesthetic, creating a total package that fans of the genre simply should not miss for any reason.

F1 from Codemasters remains a quality product, although it increasingly shows the shortcomings typical of annual releases. It's essentially F1 23 with some refinements, meaning that newcomers will have an excellent experience of their favorite motorsport, but veterans of the series will hardly find something to convince them of the sequel's necessity.

The PC version of the excellent Ghost of Tsushima is the complete package, thanks to the inclusion of the Iki Island expansion and the multiplayer mode. This makes the already beautiful journey to the feudal Japan an even greater treat for PC users, showcasing one of the best open-world games from Sony's Studios.

Nine Sols offers a metroidvania experience that may not be entirely unique, but it remains an excellent choice for fans of the genre. Kudos to the developers for successfully differentiating it from other metroidvanias through its combat system, employing challenging but fair use of parries, not unlike Sekiro.

Horizon: Forbidden West is excellently ported to PC by Nixxes, providing a larger audience the opportunity to experience Aloy's much improved new adventures.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door offers older gamers a fantastic opportunity to relive one of Mario's best classics. Meanwhile, younger gamers should not miss out on experiencing this timeless gem.

Mullet Madjack may be the most frenetic FPS we've played, literally asking us to not have even a second to spare, with a level design that complements perfectly the non-stop approach. However, despite its fun and fast-paced nature, the game is held back by its very short longevity and almost nonexistent depth.

Anglerfish excels in its dark aesthetic and humour, delivering a challenging yet fair experience. While it may be a bit on the short side, the game offers a memorable and twisted roguelike adventure within those few hours.

Unfortunately Ereban: Shadow Legacy is quite weak in its stealth mechanics, arguably the most important aspect of a stealth game. The protagonist feels overpowered from beginning to end, requiring little to no tactical approach to stealthily dispatch enemies. Although there are some interesting platforming ideas, the game fails to expand on them, leading to an underwhelming overall experience.

Unfortunately, Sand Land seems like a game that only fans of Akira Toriyama could enjoy. Fans that would overlook the shallow combat system, lack of enemy variety, and the non-existent challenge.

Crow Country gives the impression of a long lost PS1 survival horror game. The small indie team really captures the essence of those classics in every aspect, from the charming low-polygon visuals and environmental puzzles to the exaggerated story, all while adding some clever parody touches.

Madison VR is quite reminiscent of P.T. in its approach to horror and definitely not for the faint of heart. Additionally, the story is engaging the visuals are impressive.

Hellblade 2 delivers exactly what fans of the first game should expect. A compelling continuation of Senua's arduous journey, with some of the best visuals we've seen, exceptional storytelling, and amazing audio design. It's a cinematic experience at its best.

The Gap proved to be a quite well made narrative experience, even if it's not bringing anything considerably new to the genre.

INDIKA is a truly unique narrative game that delivers an excellently written, thought-provoking story about faith, a subject we very rarely see in the medium. Moreover, the almost surreal environmental design and action greatly enhance the whole experience.

Loretta is a fine visual novel with well-written dialogues, multiple impactful choices, and a dark plot. Unfortunately, the derivative and overly simplistic puzzles, along with the almost non-existent gameplay, drag down the experience.

Apart from a few issues, Rauniot is a very commendable game from a solo developer that greatly captures the spirit of old adventure games. From the detailed handmade animations to the well-thought-out puzzles, this is a rough diamond at its best.

Tales from Candleforth is a, quite good, throwback to Myst, with charming visuals and well constructed puzzles, offering high challenge. However, it could benefit from a more concise story.

Turbo Kid is a fun metroidvania game and a welcome continuation of the cult film. It ticks all the right boxes of metroidvania design and incorporates the bike in a clever way. Alas, the behaviour of the enemies are extremely derivative and its pixel art is not the best we've seen.

Unfortunately, South Park: Snow Day! is a very shallow multiplayer game, with overly simplistic story and gameplay. The familiar and welcoming vulgar humour of the animation may be here but it can't help to hide a truly mediocre game.

The famous tennis series certainly took its time to come back but the wait was well worth it. Top Spin 2K25 may well be the best tennis game of the past few years, thanks to deep and improved gameplay, and excellent animations.

Mixture is a charming little game, reminiscent of Moss, that unfortunately is dragged down by gameplay issues. Be that as it may, fans of platforms and VR will definitely have a good time.

Even hardcore fans of the Suikoden series will have a hard time finding a reason to play the spiritual successor, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. The protagonists are bland, the challenge of the combat non-existent, its story uninspired and the myriad bugs a constant source of frustration.

Children of the Sun has a truly unique premise, an achievement that has become quite rare, even for the always imaginative indie scene.
