When you look at the whole picture, the Gothic 1 Remake is an extremely faithful recreation of the original - one that will likely put off most players except hardcore fans who crave games that feel like they hate you more than an ex after a toxic breakup.

After several long decades, we finally got a James Bond game that is on par with the legendary Goldeneye 007! Made with great respect for the original novels and films, 007 First Light from IO Interactive successfully mixes the sandbox elements of the Hitman franchise with modern action sequences, dynamic characters and Naughty Dog-like adventures.

Outbound looks like a cozy indie fantasy about escaping into nature, but beneath its pastel aesthetic lies an almost non-existent survival system and a very shallow gameplay loop that runs out of steam long before your eco-friendly van does.

Mechanicus 2 appears to honor the sacred union of strategy, atmosphere, and machine worship. Some irregularities remain within the data-stream, but the Machine Spirit is not displeased. Recommendation: proceed with cautious reverence.

Luna Abyss offers a hypnotic blend of brutalist aesthetics, fluid platforming, and challenging bullet-hell shooting, resulting in a memorable—if occasionally repetitive—sci-fi horror experience that is absolutely worth your time.

Like a long-lost CD from your youth, Mixtape blends nostalgia, music, and a touch of arty excess into a gentle, almost understated video game experience. It won’t appeal to everyone, but it’s still something I’d recommend to most players, as there’s very little like it on the market today.

Appearances can be deceiving - especially when it comes to grown adults willingly sinking hours into this phenomenal LEGO game. This is easily one of the best, if not the best, pieces of Batman fan service ever made, and a must-play for anyone who grew up with the films, games, and animated series. It also stands as the most ambitious, and arguably the best, LEGO game ever created.

Forza Horizon 6 doesn’t reinvent the formula, but instead takes everything the series has refined over the years and pushes it to an absurdly high new level with a phenomenal Japanese setting, stunning next-gen presentation, and a practically endless amount of content and activities.

Set aboard a familiar alien-infested spaceship setting, this solid branching adventure from Supermassive Games captures the atmosphere and tension of the very best moments from the cult horror classic Alien.

Invincible VS is an exciting entry of a popular superhero franchise into the world of VS fighters, featuring unique tactical 3v3 gameplay, brutal combat, and an episodic story mode whose future chapters and updates should keep the game alive in the coming period.

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.

In an era of copy-paste open-world festivals, this game delivers a strong linear experience that isn’t afraid to take risks. Despite somewhat clunky combat, it offers a compelling package that no fan of quality cyberpunk storytelling and aesthetics should miss.

Mouse: P.I. for Hire delivers a striking, unique aesthetic and very enjoyable retro gunplay, though its blend of styles won’t appeal to everyone. Still, as a cohesive and technically polished project, it manages to deliver a high-quality, complete experience that’s rarely seen on today’s indie scene.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Housemarque builds on everything that made Returnal great, pushing the intensity and bullet-hell chaos to even greater heights. A well-crafted progression system ensures players can dive into the action with confidence, without worrying about wasting their time.

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.

GRIME II is an excellent metroidvania/soulslike that builds on everything the original did well, delivering brutal, precise combat, well-designed bosses, and a striking aesthetic. It’s a great fit for fans of the genre who enjoy a challenge, mastering mechanics, and carefully exploring every corner of the map.

Pragmata blends action with a distinctive hacking mini-game that may feel chaotic at first, but once it clicks, it turns into one of Capcom’s most engaging experiences in recent years. Once you get a grip on its systems, it opens up into a polished and thoughtfully designed sci-fi adventure that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.

If you’re tired of the usual mascot kart racers and want something a bit different, Kirby Air Riders offers a fresh take - a racing game unlike anything else out there, aside from its decades-old predecessor. Its fast, chaotic races are a lot of fun, but the unusual control scheme might take some getting used to and could be a sticking point for some players.

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.

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.

One of the most complete and polished JRPGs in recent years arrives as the third entry in the Monster Hunter spin-off series. Twisted Reflection is massive and complex, yet extremely fun from start to finish – it’s not only recommended for fans of the series, but for anyone looking to try something new and interesting, different from the usual RPG titles.
