Mario Tennis Fever is primarily a party game that shines the most in local multiplayer and its creative modes, where chaos, power-ups, and classic Nintendo charm fully come to life. The single-player content, while also fun, leaves a weaker impression, as it feels fairly shallow and serves more as an introduction to the mechanics rather than a proper campaign capable of carrying the game on its own.

The PS5 version is technically shaky, and the DLC is quite disappointing, but the free update still adds a decent amount of new content. For Starfield to truly become a good game, it would need a level of transformation similar to what Cyberpunk 2077 or No Man’s Sky went through. But let’s be realistic - it’s hard to imagine Bethesda putting in that kind of effort for a project that never fully won over its audience.

A slow-paced space adventure with an interesting central mystery that will satisfy only those players who are interested in melancholic stories where happiness, love, and a future are not guaranteed. A well-acted game about searching for a new home among the stars, which was sadly kept away from its true potential by slim gameplay variety.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is the kind of strange Nintendo experiment that can even push fans of Japanese eccentricity out of their comfort zone, leaving them wondering what they’re actually playing. The creative tools offer plenty of freedom, and players looking to shape their own experience will likely spend most of their time there - only to end up with something they can barely share with anyone else. As a solo experience, it can be mildly entertaining, but only for the patient.

The Occultist delivers a great atmosphere, a strong sense of mystery, and an excellent premise, but repetitive design and dull enemies keep it from becoming a true horror classic.

Mega Man Star Force: Legacy Collection is a great way to discover some of the most obscure Mega Man games ever made. As a successor to the Battle Network series, it focuses on card-based tactical combat rather than classic Mega Man action, meaning it will primarily appeal to fans of this style, as well as a niche group of players with strong nostalgia for these DS titles.

Toxic Commando delivers chaotic co-op fun and explosive action, but shallow progression and a repetitive structure hold it back. A solid shooter for short sessions with friends, though not one that will leave a lasting impression.

Visually striking but overloaded with ideas and mechanics that mostly fail to enhance the fun, and built on a fundamental misunderstanding of what makes arcade racing enjoyable, Screamer comes across as yet another failed attempt by Milestone to create something outside the realm of hardcore motorcycle simulations.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake still retains the outstanding atmosphere and story of the original, but severe technical issues and an outdated design that hasn’t been sufficiently modernized seriously undermine the overall experience. In the end, this remake feels more like a reminder that some things from the past might be better left there.

RIDE 6 is a sim-cade love letter to motorcycles that, closer than anything since Tourist Trophy, delivers a level of depth and seriousness reminiscent of Gran Turismo. With over 300 bikes, a varied and demanding career mode, and flexible handling options, it offers a rich riding experience - despite minor flaws such as inconsistent AI, weaker character models, and a festival-style presentation that decorates the menus more than the racing itself.

Code Vein 2 isn’t a bad game — and that’s exactly its biggest problem. It’s average where it could have been good, and disappointing where it needed to surpass its predecessor. It fails to meaningfully improve its core systems, doesn’t strengthen the series’ identity, and in some areas even takes clear steps backward.

If co-op is your comfort zone and you’ve got a well-oiled crew beside you, this year’s campaign will fit you like a glove. But if you’re going in solo, expect a few too many roadblocks - which is a real shame, because these 11 levels are bursting with creativity and some downright wild moments, even by Black Ops standards.

In a sea of big sharks, Rematch is a small but stubborn fighter - impressive enough for some players to appreciate its strengths, while others may feel its shortcomings were avoidable. It brings a fresh contender to the multiplayer arena, just not one powerful enough to trigger any real tectonic shifts.

It’s nice to see Pac-Man back in the spotlight, but beneath the fresh coat of paint and new levels lies an old PlayStation 2–era game that even the best remaster couldn’t fully modernize.

Syberia Remastered is like a beautiful but empty frame — polished on the outside, yet lacking any real substance within to justify the time or money. It remains a game frozen in the era of its original release, never adapting to modern standards. This remaster was the perfect opportunity to fix that, but unfortunately, it’s an opportunity that was completely wasted.

A great museum-style collection and a nostalgic time capsule for fans, but a few small shortcomings - along with a disastrous online mode - make this release better suited for casual players and collectors than for the hardcore Mortal Kombat crowd.

Football Manager 26 attempts to combine the series’ classic philosophy with new ideas and features, but it still carries over old issues while introducing new ones. It remains an enjoyable management game, though far from the masterpieces of some previous entries in the series.

All in all, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Remastered remains the same beloved platformer - it won’t redefine the genre, but it’s a delightful retro return for longtime fans and a charming piece of gaming history for newcomers.

The new Painkiller only partially hits the mark. With forced co-op mechanics, longtime fans may feel the essence of the original’s relentless, unfiltered action has been diluted.

NBA Bounce tries to bring a fresh rhythm to the world of basketball, but it struggles to maintain the pace and quickly ends up tripping over its own steps. Colorful, fast, and charming - it will easily win over younger players, but it will feel too shallow for anyone seeking a more serious challenge and deeper content.

NHL 26 doesn’t reinvent the formula, but for longtime fans of hockey or the franchise, it’s more than satisfying. Just be warned - if you’re new to this world, the game won’t be very welcoming at first, and the real fun only begins once you fully get the hang of it.

Hell is Us is an ambitious and unconventional project that tries to blend souls-lite gameplay with distinctly old-school ideas, but in practice, it suffers from repetitiveness and a sluggish pace.

Beautiful scenery and solid combat, but a ‘meh’ story - Claws of Awaji is a decent expansion that feels more like a gap-filler than a lasting impression.

Despite its clear inspirations and a few memorable moments, what remains is a half-baked, uneven experience that comes nowhere close to the classics it tries to emulate.

Though it may look and feel like an amateur project in terms of visuals and content, Rally Arcade Classics manages to strike the perfect balance between simulation and arcade fun - something only true genre veterans will fully appreciate.

NBA 2K26 will likely keep longtime fans of the franchise engaged, but it’s unlikely to win over newcomers or those seeking a more approachable experience. Even seasoned veterans may find their patience wearing thin with the series’ chronic lack of meaningful innovation in recent entries.

We can recommend Discounty to all fans of management sims who don’t mind essentially working a supermarket shift in their free time - but don’t expect anything revolutionary.

When taken as a whole, Space Adventure Cobra - The Awakening is a true revival of the legendary space pirate—sure to captivate fans of this old-school anime - yet it also serves as a reminder that we need a few more games to fully experience the world of Cobra.
