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.

Rebirth of Souls is a solid step in the right direction for bringing Bleach back into the world of anime games. While it features some repetitive elements and introduces slightly different mechanics, it still manages to deliver hours of fun that fans are sure to enjoy.

If you enjoy FMV games and miss the PC period when only such releases were around, this is the game for you.

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.

Sand Land successfully conveys Toriyama's vision in an interactive format, offering players a unique adventure full of action, strategy, and personalization. If you're a fan of oversized vehicles and RPG systems with occasional platforming elements, this game will be a great fun for the upcoming hot summer days.

Reunion finally gives fans what they’ve been asking for - a return of Max and Chloe in a form that captures the very essence of the series. It’s rare for a final chapter to correct past missteps and deliver a satisfying conclusion to a story we’ve followed for over a decade, which makes Reunion essential for all fans, even those turned away by Double Exposure. It may not be perfect, but it’s effective and emotional enough to remind us why we fell in love with Life is Strange in the first place.

Super Meatboy 3D is a game that truly deserves to be the follow-up to the legendary original. With its new 3D approach, it delivers plenty of fresh challenges while retaining the familiar, frustrating difficulty that will keep drawing you back.

Ravenswatch is a visually impressive roguelike with an interesting concept, but it suffers from balance and repetitiveness issues. If you plan to play alone, expect a tougher challenge and possible frustration. On the other hand, in the co-op mode, the game comes to the fore and provides real enjoyment.

Another Assassin's Creed quality fix for insatiable fans of Ubisoft's content-bloated games, but this time with additional magical powers. It is indeed the best expansion for Valhalla so far, but basically still one big deja vu.

Little Nightmares 3 is a hauntingly beautiful adventure that pulls you deep into a world shaped by fear. The co-op mode is a true masterpiece and an absolute joy to play. While the core formula could use a bit more innovation, we’re confident the next installment will take that final step forward.

Blades of Fire brings a fresh combat system and addictive weapon crafting, but its unconvincing story and poorly designed levels with excessive backtracking wear players down. At 60 hours, it's far too long for what it offers, with technical issues adding to the frustration—but its colorful visual style and engaging combat might still appeal to Action RPG fans.

NHL 24, like most sports games in recent years, continues to stagnate without any significant improvement. While attempting to introduce minimal changes and simultaneously ignoring what players actually want is the main reason why it fails once again to fulfill its potential.

Actraiser Renaissance remains true to the cult original with plenty of novelties that do not disturb the essence of this strange title from the very beginning of a completely crazy story called Quintet studio.

Lords of the Fallen may not be a game that will reinvent the wheel, but it is definitely a great Soulslike title that any fan of the genre will appreciate. Aside from minor flaws related to poor mapping and other easily fixable blemishes, this game still gets a high rating and our warm recommendation.

Sonic Frontiers is a strange experiment that somehow worked, the mix of open world game mechanics with 3D Sonic gameplay worked out unexpectedly well, with just a little more polish on this idea SEGA could possibly have something really special here.

LEGO Horizon Adventures offers a fresh take with a visually impressive world built from LEGO bricks and a fun parody of the Horizon story, though it leaves you wishing for more meaningful content and a stronger connection to the original games.

When the legendary authors of the classic arcade games completely ignore reality for the sake of crazy, over the top entertainment, we get something really extraordinary.

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.

Start your mowers, start aggressively into the battle with the overgrown grass (but not too aggressively in order as not to damage the engine) and show the world that you have mastered another absurd game.

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.

Fitness Boxing 3 is a solid improvement over its predecessor, perfect for those seeking a fun and accessible way to stay active at home while maybe learning a bit about boxing. Just don’t challenge real boxers to a match.

Scorn is an esoteric journey / roller coaster. While its raising the atmosphere with great artistic direction and amazing sound, it slows down to a halt with clunky shooting mechanics and repetitive puzzles. Still – great job Ebb Software.

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.

Fans definitely expected more from these remasters, while someone who hasn’t gone through these stories before will probably still be able to see what’s great about them - despite the changes the remasters have brought. Without a doubt, the original season of Life is Strange and even Before the Storm prequel, are great adventures, but should be experienced in their original form that is still available.

Atomic Heart is a terrific game with minor shortcomings thanks to its strong narrative components, quick gunplay, and special abilities. It is not a Bioshock clone; it has its own pace, characters, and stunning artistic design, and it deserves all of the attention it can receive.

In video games, there are two kinds of sequels: those that play it safe, and those that go completely off the rails. High on Life 2 firmly belongs to the latter. As the follow-up to one of the strangest FPS titles in recent years, it feels like a deliberately chaotic shooter that makes you wonder what kind of substances were in play during the writing process.

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.

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.
