The final title in the first season of this anthology is a mediocre experience worth trying, but one you'll probably only feel the need to go through once.

Star Ocean: The Divine Force is a wonderful treat for fans of the Star Ocean series and JRPGs in general. Players will enjoyably spend tens to hundreds of hours exploring everything this game has to offer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

The emotional premise and nostalgic aesthetic aren’t enough to make up for the weak narrative resolution, poor optimization, and virtually nonexistent gameplay progression.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

A remaster of a nostalgic special game from the old GameCube days, it brings nothing special to the table other than the chance to play this classic on modern systems with limited upgrades and a slew of issues that ruin the retro experience.

Shadow Labyrinth is a dark metroidvania where Pac-Man eats your enemies and your nerves, but for some reason, you cannot stop playing.

We’ve had a lot of great JRPGs this year, but this isn’t one of them. Unless you’re a fan of Fairy Tail, there are very few reasons why you’d want to play this game. The battles are generic, the game expects you to know the plot and it often seems like the game just wants you to be done with it and move on.

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.

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.

We can only recommend the game to extreme fans of the Batman/Gotham universe as well as people who have this as their first PlayStation 5 game because once you start any other game and see 60fps with good controls, Gotham Knights will be instantly forgotten.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a horror masterpiece that contains the original recipe of this genre - tension, creepy atmosphere and excellent stealth mechanics. If you've ever wondered what it's like to live in the world that fell silent from the movie series of the same name, this game will give you an excellent impression of the eerie everyday life of survival.

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.

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.

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.

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.

All things considered, Yasha is an anime roguelite that doesn’t bring anything revolutionary to the table with each new playthrough. What you're left with is a one-time burst of fun that might at least give your fingers a workout as you try to make every battle look as flashy and cool as possible.

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.

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.
