The first volume of the new Metal Gear collection brings several legendary titles from the beginning of this once extremely popular series, along with a couple of never-before-released bonus content that definitely has something for old fans. However, KONAMI's laziness to devote more time to polishing these titles makes the compilation seem like only a half-sincere attempt to bring players' attention back to Snake and crew.

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.

Worldslayer is such an integral part of Outriders that its almost unthinkable to play this game without it. The endgame content that has been overhauled is complex and rich enough to keep most of the players invested for a long time.

WWE 2K22 seems like a game that was promised to us a long time ago, we finally have a good WWE game that actually looks and works properly, has OK graphics and a system that may open the door to new players.

If you like open-world games with a touch of zombie action, Days Gone Remastered is worth the drive, especially for the creepy hordes and beautiful Oregon. New modes and improved visuals make it the best version of the game, but don't expect a revolution. Grab your motorbike and join Deacon - just be careful not to run out of gas!

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.

Despite expectations for this year's F1 game to surpass its predecessor, it fell short. Although the upgraded main Career mode may appeal to casual drivers, the overall package and the complete simulation layer remain too dry and unbalanced for serious driving enthusiasts.

Even if this game is at first glance a Dead Space clone, Callisto Protocol manages to differentiate from its predecessor gracefully. Unfortunately some annoying design choices, repetitiveness and technical difficulties are preventing it from taking the throne of the genre.

Rising Tide offers an interesting addition to the story in Final Fantasy XVI with a slightly different atmosphere and the most challenging content yet, which might deter casual players. Aside from a new Eikon and a few additional surprises, it doesn't add much new or impact the already concluded main story. It's mainly for hardcore fans of the sixteenth installment who want a bit more of the same.

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 mixture of two popular Japanese genres brings a relaxing experience that, although it seems innovative on paper, in practice brings only mediocrity and a rather superficial approach to the idea of a JRPG with farming elements.

Madden NFL 24 is an excellent product of the evolution of American football, which is celebrating its second decade. If you are a fan of this sport and only watched it on television, now is the perfect moment to try your hand at the game.

As the debut title from a new studio and the long-awaited revival of boxing in the sports gaming genre, Undisputed exceeds expectations. With solid gameplay and a strong selection of modes, it’s sure to please boxing fans, especially given the limited options available in this generation.

The management simulation of a laundromat that is slowly turning into an arcade center is a great homage to some earlier times that, like a dream, mix and match two different decades and several generations of arcades and even consoles into one trippy mix.

Although it represents a set of mechanics seen in many other games, A Plague Tale: Requiem as an extra predictable sequel perfects everything that was good in the previous game - with a few small innovations, and a drastically higher dose of rats and depression.

Although visually a true love letter to the capital of Japan, the lack of enemies, frightening moments and clumsy combat somewhat spoils the experience. Be prepared for outdated mechanics and more obscure narration.

PGA Tour 2K25 is a solid game that offers an enjoyable golf experience, but it doesn’t break new ground. Newcomers to the series will find plenty to enjoy, while veterans may feel like they’re playing the same game they did two years ago. 2K could take a cue from the competition and inject more personality into their games.

For fans, this will be a good pastime while waiting for the new chapter of the manga or if they haven't recently thrown a steamroller at their opponent while shouting WRYYYYYYY.

Although it has good ideas, Dragon Quest Treasures is an average game. When you take out the generic combat and stale treasure hunting, you're left with just the beloved Dragon Quest universe.

Princess Peach: Showtime delivers a fresh and inventive platforming experience, showcasing Nintendo's iconic character in a variety of captivating roles. Despite its engaging transformations and level design, disappointing performance issues and a lack of content compared to other Nintendo titles undermine its overall appeal.

Visions of Mana takes you on a fun journey through a magical world, full of both joy and sorrow. A game that draws you in with its beauty but keeps you hooked with its RPG elements and the feeling of playing a '90s game wrapped in modern charm.

All in all, about 15 hours of first-class one hit kill action awaits you, which will provide a good pastime for fans of this genre. The freedom given to Jack in this game is definitely a huge improvement for which One More Level studio deserves all the words of praise.

Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty is an excellent spy thriller that, despite numerous bugs, breathes new life into the base game. Highly recommended for all fans of the core game.

The Quarry is like any other summer horror slasher movie that we watched as kids during the 80’s. Its good in the first few hours but then it loses its momentum. Unfortunately a much weaker game than Until Dawn.

Realms of Ruin is a basic RTS with a great dose of refreshing visuals. This game has deserved more attention from the developers and it desperately needs more tactical options in its core mechanics. Setting is great, music too but somehow it feels lacking in every other aspect.

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.

Persona 5 Tactica is another P5 game with different art style and tactical battle mechanics, which will be a treat for Persona fans, while others won't be so fascinated since the game does not bring anything totally new and refreshing to this genre.

WarioWare: Move It! brings the very familiar chaotic fun that we are used to from the games in this series, returning the focus to the somewhat forgotten motion-controls. This approach brings a lot of new creative solutions for controlling the ever-fresh micro-games, but it also overcomplicates things for a lot of new players.

Lost Records: Bloom and Rage relatively successfully captures the essence of nostalgia and mystery in a completely original new adventure in the spirit of Life is Strange, but the gameplay is too simple and passive, even compared to previous Don't Nod releases.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins revitalizes the series by returning to its roots with modernized graphics, enhanced combat mechanics, and a richer narrative, delivering the ultimate power fantasy on the battlefield. While the lack of co-op mode and occasional mission repetitiveness may be drawbacks, the game remains a must-play for hack-and-slash enthusiasts.

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.

The foundation of the game is strong, drawing from the two-generations-old TopSpin 4. However, the lack of content, weak career mode, and mandatory "Virtual Currency" detract from the overall experience. While it's exciting to see TopSpin make a comeback, it falls short of expectations.

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.

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.

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.

We highly recommend playing Stray, if you haven’t already, on more powerful consoles or PC to experience this intriguing and beautiful story as it was originally crafted. However, if the Nintendo Switch is truly your only option, this is still an okay way to enjoy the game about the cat that has captured so many hearts… even if it’s a bit blurry.

The Crew Motorfest is the best racing game Ubisoft has ever made, but it's still behind much stronger competition. If you've driven all Forza Horizon games or just want something similar but on PlayStation - then you've come to the right place.

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.

The Diofield Chronicle is a game that tries to be a lot of things but it ends up being just average. There is undeniably quality in the design and even in the strange battle system and controls, but when we sum everything up it is just another strategy JRPG with a tiresome political story without any special identity.

So turn on your Polaroid camera, prepare your gray matter for tones of multi layer puzzles and embark on this amazing horror adventure in which our Luca tries to find out is he really possessed by some demonic forces or is this all just a bad dream.

The Beasts of Burden is already the third story in Mr. Yoko Taro's new card JRPG, although it doesn't bring anything drastically new compared to previous editions, the concept is still quite fresh and different, especially if you haven't played other two Voice of Cards games in the past year.

What Gearbox did well, it now does even better, but it's more than obvious that they still don't feel at home within the "Telltale" framework.

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.

Surprisingly competent 3D stealth platformer that has managed to accurately showcase one of the most famous anti-heroes in the world of fantasy entertainment. Despite its underdeveloped visual presentation, it is still one of the rare Lord of the Rings games that are worth playing.

WWE 2K23 continues on a safe and secure path after the revival of the series last year, building on the new system introduced by the previous game with only a few minor changes. The John Cena Showcase and the very different MyRise story are the best parts of the package, and everything else is business as usual.

Endless Ocean: Luminous is a highly unique and beautiful game that can serve as relaxation software for all ocean enthusiasts. Although it lacks almost any gameplay challenge, the loop is very addictive. However, it quickly reaches its limits, especially if you play alone.

When everything is considered, we have a very nice mix of ideas of roguelite and tower defense genres, with beautiful graphics and atmosphere, but with a rather mediocre realization.

When we consider what it means to be a good Metroidvania, Somber Echoes definitely fits the bill, but doesn’t do anything to really stand out. Even though the game doesn’t do anything bad, it also doesn’t do anything good that we haven’t already seen in other games. At the end of the day, this is just another decent Metroidvania, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Elden Ring Nightreign is best described as beautiful chaos. While it brings a sense of challenge and wild fun with its energetic pace, its inherent balance issue will surely bother Souls players who are used to skill being the decisive factor in victory, not chance.

Eastward is a great time capsule that very authentically follows the mechanics and style that were present in the games from the 90's. Maybe even too much because some mechanics have remained in the past for a reason.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus successfully refreshes the very old formula of these classic games, bringing players back to the past of the Pokemon universe but at the same time moving game mechanics into the future.

With high system requirements and with the absence of Mortal Empires bundled with attractive battles, Total War Warhammer 3 is at least a solid experience for the fans. Providing that they like playing their games in 20fps on mid to high-range PCs.

All things considered, MotoGP 2026 is a solid, by-the-book annual continuation straight out of the Milestone playbook - one that loyal fans of the series will definitely appreciate, but it’s hard to see it offering anything particularly new or compelling for everyone else.

MotoGP stands unparalleled in its category and is definitely a must-try for enthusiasts of the fastest motorcycles worldwide. However, the latest 2024 version brings only minor changes compared to its predecessor. These changes will especially thrill Career mode fans, as it has become noticeably more dynamic and will hold your attention for longer periods.

Akimbot may not be the alternative Ratchet & Clank game we were hoping for, but it’s still pretty solid. Despite the underwhelming story and characters, this humble indie game does a lot of things right.

A game that should have been A New Hope turned into Revenge of the Sith. Technical problems and insane FPS drops are something that hampers the experience so much that some parts of the game were almost unplayable. Please fix this glimmer of hope.

Crash Team Rumble is a refreshing team-based platforming adventure that will give you hours of casual fun, especially if you play it with friends.

The latest installment brings the entire season 2023 update and, as expected, some improvements in all aspects of the game, while new players get a couple of innovative help systems that may finally allow them to get a little more serious in this very demanding motorcycle simulator.

Extremely nicely revitalized Like a Dragon: Ishin walks the fine line between remake and remaster, offering the usual RGG Studio fun in a slightly different time period while still showing its age in a somewhat rigid system and a departure from the more modern game Yakuza / Like a Dragon titles. It will provide solid amusement for fans of the franchise as we wait for new upcoming games about Japanese crime and honor

You'll love Jagged Alliance 3 if you're willing to overlook outdated graphics, some weird in-game mechanics and you like 90s American humor. Otherwise, you better spend your money elsewhere.

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.

The Smurfs: Dreams isn’t horrible but it’s not brilliant either. From start to finish this was an OK experience that we breezed through and are forgetting about even as we write this. As much as we love the Smurfs, they are definitely more fun when they’re awake.

Little Big Adventure: Twinsen’s Quest tries to revive old PC nostalgia, but gets lost between the outdated mechanics of the original and the insufficiently modernized approach of the new version. While it’s clear that the remake was made with love, the final result will likely struggle to find its place among old fans, and even more so among new players.

With the story all over the place and meaningless choices, Dying Light 2 is a game that will leave most of the players with zero impressions. The potential of the plot and the faint writing of Chris Avellone are present but not nearly enough to make this game worth your time. This is only for the hard core fans of the genre.

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.

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.

Despite the new engine and slightly improved gameplay, Dead Rising is, still, the same awkward game we played back in 2006. While it’s still interesting to see so many zombies and use everything around you as a weapon, the time limit and babysitting NPCs really isn’t fun. Maybe one remaster per game is enough.

With more Hot Wheels cars and tracks, Unleashed 2 is an obvious sequel that does not bring anything particularly new to a game that had so much potential but also numerous problems that haven't been addressed yet.

Martha is Dead is primarily a game for slow burner horror / thriller fans, as well as for people who have the will and strength to take a deeper look from a psychological perspective, while ignoring boring and tedious moments which can occur quite frequently.

Weak lore and slow combat in this game can only be deterrants for most veterans of the souls genre. Better spend your time with more quality games that have substance and a meaningful story.

Detective Pikachu brings an intriguing story that will appeal to the fans of detective games, but also a considerably simpler gameplay than its predecessor so that younger players and possibly Pokemon diehards will get the most fun out of it.

Despite the phenomenal graphics and details, sim-specialized authors from Milestone stumbled a little bit while trying to make their trip to the arcade genre fun enough.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is terrified of what players might think of it and so it plays it safe. So safe, that it trivializes combat, minimizes exploration and almost completely disregards players choice. In the end, all that’s left are pretty graphics and a decent story.

Gungrave GORE offers immense fun until 2/3 of it when it becomes incredibly tedious and boring cause of huge spike in difficulty curve, which is a huge disappointment, since the game had a potential to be great easy going PS2-era shooter.

New smurfing in video game form brings quite a solid platform action ideal for younger players who will not be bothered by repetitiveness and a slightly shorter duration of the main story.

A refreshed but extremely unpolished new WRC experience that comes with a lot of content but in a package that lacks some essentials, we expected more from Codemasters.

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.

The Ezio Collection for the Switch reminds us of how far the Assassin's Creed series has come. Unfortunately, apart from the fact that these games are now available on Nintendo, this compilation does not bring anything essentially new or correct the six-year-old problems brought about by the original remasters.

NHL 25 is yet another addition to the series that feels familiar. While it serves as a relatively complete simulation of the popular sport of ice hockey, this title fails to introduce anything new or address the longstanding issues that have plagued the franchise for quite some time.

Tiebreak, despite all its flaws, is the best video game representation of tennis that we have received so far. The biggest sports fans will still be able to enjoy this game for hours, provided they turn a blind eye to the somewhat poor AI and inadequate online mode.

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.

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.

Beneath the new engine and slightly enhanced graphics lies the same game from 2015, with all its strengths and weaknesses remaining largely unchanged. As a horror slasher, Until Dawn is solidly average, and as an interactive cinematic adventure, it still offers a decent experience—but nothing more than that.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet bring a lot of innovation to the mega-popular series of collecting and battling lovable pocket monsters, but all those great new ideas are undone by the game's criminally poor performance and bugs.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet bring a lot of innovation to the mega-popular series of collecting and battling lovable pocket monsters, but all those great new ideas are undone by the game's criminally poor performance and bugs.

Funko Fusion is a cute game that combines popular franchises with Funko POP! figurines, but suffers from repetitive gameplay, technical problems and weak combat mechanics. Although visually appealing, the game doesn't offer enough depth to hold the long-term interest of most players.

We recommend Killing Floor 3 to those who want a quick dose of bloody chaos with friends, but not to those who expect deep and lasting content.

Solid competitor to Nintendo's title but unlike the game from the japanese publisher Rabbids has a story that's fun enough to hold your attention. Unfortunately an experience that will be quickly forgotten.

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.

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.

For a remastered game which doesn't offer anything authentic by today's standards, ridden with bugs, framerate drops and repetitive missions, potentially you will have couple of hours of fun with Reprobed, until you find some other ways of entertainment.

Missed opportunity to make the first real Mario Kart challenger. Chocobo GP in theory has it all, it works great, it has a popular franchise as a basis, but the free to play model and a bunch of microtransactions undo all that.

Good basketball and paywalls don't mix well but overall this game is a better experience than last year's edition.

Apart from the truly beautiful graphics and phenomenally designed environment that is a real feast for the eyes, Frontiers of Pandora has little to offer that has not already been seen in many other Ubisoft releases, unless you are particularly fond of the world of "Avatar".

Farming Simulator 25 is a unique experience of managing a farm, with frequent bugs, bad AI and unoptimized graphics, which should not happen to games nowadays. This title certainly has potential, but in this state, it's definitely not for everyone.

Sword Art Online: Last Recollection is a game that is primarily for anime series fans who don't mind many flaws getting in the way of them enjoying another adventure with their favorite characters, while new players will be in quite a pickle trying to balance between a story that won't make any sense to them and some good fight mechanics.

Exoprimal is a game that had unprecedented potential to be multiplayer entertainment for millions of mecha and dinosaur fans, and yet we got a pale unoriginal copy of typical competitive shooters.

Macross -Shooting Insight- brings iconic characters, planes, and music from different eras of the series, but the simple and unbalanced gameplay, along with limited transformations and incomplete localization, diminish the overall experience. At the end of the day, this legendary franchise deserves better than this.
