    The Spell Brigade is a solid bullet hell, built on a classic foundation, enhanced with a few original mechanics that bring a welcome twist to the genre. Cooperative play is undoubtedly one of its greatest strengths, offering an unusual yet successful take on the bullet hell experience in multiplayer.

    Kiln is an original concept, simple and effective, that hits the target, though its few weaknesses add some shadows when it comes to the final conclusion. It feels fresh and fun, but lacks the depth needed to sustain interest over time.

    Invincible VS is a competent tag fighter with interesting systems that deepens the basics of the genre, but its approach to content in a modern fighting game is perhaps a bit to old school.

    Cozy, somber and cerebral, a respectful mini-adventure from the tremendous Norwegian series.

    A solid first half carried by convincing performances, appealing environments and an excellent soundtrack won't save Aphelion from its unsatisfying resolutions and simplistic gameplay for everyone.

    Mouse: P.I. For Hire might not be the most subtle detective in the game, but he certainly has style, and sometimes that’s all it takes to make a difference.

    A fascinating yet frustrating experience, driven by outstanding art direction and solid gameplay, but held back by its lack of challenge and distant storytelling early on.

    Drop Duchy isn’t a flashy game, but it’s devilishly clever. It’s a title built on a strong concept, executed to perfection, that manages to captivate players with its rich systems, all while drawing on classic mechanics—some of which even trace their roots back to the very history of video games. Addictive without being flashy, challenging without being frustrating, it stands out as an excellent surprise for puzzle and strategy enthusiasts—now available to everyone.

    Tides of Tomorrow delivers an innovative concept, breaking away from the usual conventions with its asynchronous gameplay mechanic, which works remarkably well. Another striking and cohesive experience added to DigixArt’s catalog.

    The storytelling is the standout feature of this melancholic adventure game, which is sure to utterly destroy you emotionally.

    At times innovative and, above all, immersive, Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss offers a solid experience for a mystery game, but it sorely lacks the horror element that’s supposed to send shivers down your spine.

    Last Flag is built on a simple and effective concept, getting straight to the point: immediate fun, without any detours. While the first moments in-game feel magical, Last Flag will still need strong assets to keep its player base hooked, which will require additions to be implemented quickly and on a regular basis.

    A captivating universe and lore for those willing to read its codex and accept an imperfect gameplay.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An original and engaging gameplay concept built around a strong dual-character idea, but quickly dragged down by repetition, lack of challenge, and a weak narrative that prevents Pragmata from truly taking off.

    The franchise's return to the 3D platformer genre is marred by perspective issues and technical shortcomings.

    Darwin's Paradox is a delightful surprise. Original, clever, and polished, it confidently carves out a niche in the competitive platformer genre by offering a physics-based approach and making perfect use of its main character, a cephalopod with endless possibilities. While it doesn’t revolutionize the genre, it stands out as a memorable experience, driven by a strong identity and fun, inspired gameplay, despite a few tedious back-and-forths and an ending that falls short of the rest of the adventure. We can’t wait for the sequel—whether it’s in the form of DLC or a bigger, more expansive adventure.

    An expansion in the continuity of The War Within, offering dense, well-crafted content along with several major additions, including a new race, and above all: housing.

    Memorable for its excellent game feel and striking artistic direction, Marathon is a punitive, extreme and exponentially addictive extraction shooter.

    Screamer is as captivating as it is frustrating. Driven by a stunning art direction and thrilling gameplay, it truly shines when it lets players express their skills freely. However, questionable balancing choices too often hold it back, preventing it from reaching the heights it clearly aims for.

    Although there are still a few areas that could use some tweaking —particularly in terms of ergonomics— Crimson Desert manages to live up to the hype. It’s not perfect, but the authenticity of its world, the richness of its content, and its engaging gameplay make it a standout title for the start of 2026. Pearl Abyss has a diamond that’s still a bit rough around the edges, but with a little polish, it’ll be nothing short of divine.

    Going Medieval is already incredibly addictive in its own right, and you’ll always be left wanting more – something that’s sure to continue in the years to come. It’s a strong contender alongside established titles like Dwarf Fortress and RimWorld, offering a less punishing, visually appealing experience that’s quite varied and brimming with architectural possibilities.

    Replaying Fighting Force today feels like stumbling upon an old childhood toy. You can clearly see it’s a little broken, a little cheap… but it’s still oddly endearing.

    John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is a simple but effective cooperative experience, brilliantly combining action, tactics, progression, and fun. It’s a solid choice for groups of friends looking to refresh their catalog for a few explosive evenings.

    Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly, the original, is a classic any survival horror fan would recommend, but it’s also a game that has aged quite a lot. This remake does an impressive job of refreshing its presentation and delivers an unmatched atmosphere that will delight fans of classic Japanese horror cinema. The gameplay, however, remains stuck two decades in the past, and the improvements aren’t enough to make the combat less stiff or more enjoyable, turning every encounter with an evil spirit into an exhausting ordeal.

    Greedfall The Dying World has high ambitions for a title of its rank, and manages to deliver on most of them when you pick up the controller. Spiders has captured the essence of the RPG genre, combining a solid narrative side, a living world that evolves alongside us, and rich gameplay. It's a major title for the AA world, with its strengths and weaknesses.

    Everything has been improved and refined to make this third installment not only the best in the series, but also a must-have for all fans of J-RPGs and monster capture and management games.

    Beautiful, new, returning, but also more questionable choices that will make this annual episode a very good vintage, unfortunately marred by a formula that is increasingly similar to that of its basketball cousin.

    Fans of Planet of Lana should not be disappointed by the second installment of this adventure, just a little frustrated by its episodic nature.

    Old-timey fun, Demon Tides fills a long-awaited spot: an adventure/platforming game who understand its genre and zeitgeist. An hidden gem.
