    Forza Horizon 6 does not reinvent Playground Games’ formula, but it may be one of its happiest and most refined expressions. Its Japan is a stunning, emotionally charged driving fantasy, balancing spectacle, exploration and quiet moments of beauty with a clearer progression and a slightly deeper driving model. Tokyo can feel a bit too clean and artificial at times, but the game remains huge, generous, accessible and constantly joyful.

    Neverness to Everness is an ambitious open-world gacha game overflowing with content, whose greatest strength lies in the city of Hethereau and the wide variety of activities it offers, ranging from exploration and management to combat. The gacha system is surprisingly generous compared to the standards of the genre and helps make the experience accessible even to free-to-play users, while the sandbox structure can keep players engaged for dozens of hours. On the other hand, some fairly evident limitations emerge: the combat system is functional but lacks depth and fails to compete with the best titles in the genre; the narrative struggles to find an engaging pace in this 1.0 version; and the cast of characters does not leave a particularly strong impression, either in terms of writing or character design.

    Call of the Elder Gods is a mature and highly rewarding evolution of the foundation laid by Call of the Sea. Out of the Blue Games delivers a vibrant, puzzle-driven adventure that explores Lovecraftian lore through a surprisingly intimate and poetic lens. While the dual-protagonist mechanics feel somewhat underutilized and a few puzzles stumble in execution, the excellent narrative, the satisfying lateral-thinking challenges, and a beautiful handling of themes like grief and the afterlife make it a must-play. A thoroughly captivating journey that smartly closes old chapters while hinting at a promising future.

    Mouse: P.I. For Hire is a highly successful experiment that masterfully blends 1930s rubber hose animation with the gritty, disillusioned tropes of hard-boiled noir. While hindered by a rigid level structure that lacks backtracking and some minor repetitiveness in its old-school FPS encounters, the game is tremendously fun. Its chaotic and visceral gunplay is elevated by brilliant writing, caustic humor, and stellar voice acting led by Troy Baker. A lethal and captivating investigation that stands as one of the most stylistically inspired shooters in recent memory.

    Pragmata is an old-school, linear yet intriguing sci-fi adventure that shines through its dual combat system and, above all, the relationship between Hugh and Diana, which forms the emotional core of the experience. Its combat stands out as one of the game's strongest elements, thanks to the seamless integration of shooting and real-time hacking, keeping tension high and encounters both dynamic and strategic throughout. The artistic direction and presentation are equally convincing, particularly in the first half, but it is the gradual development of Hugh and Diana's bond that truly drives the narrative and gives it emotional weight, even as the story begins to lose coherence later on. Despite some limitations that become more noticeable over time, especially in level design, narrative progression, and a slightly underwhelming overall length, the game remains a solid and enjoyable experience: easy to recommend to fans of linear, character-driven adventures.

    I already had good expectations for this narrative RPG but somehow it has managed to exceed them by far. Yes, it draws heavily from Disco Elysium (and from other sources such as the legendary Planescape: Torment), but it's not just a shallow copy of the original, instead it's a game with a strong identity of its own, one that can stand proudly alongside some of the best RPGs of the last decade.

    Streamer ventures into a territory many games haven't explored in a while—the realm of arcade racing—through an experience that uses its solid storyline as a Trojan horse to deliver an engaging and surprisingly deep driving system, accompanied by attack and defense mechanics that may not be immediately intuitive but are a lot of fun.

    Ys X: Proud Nordics is the definitive way to experience Adol and Karja's maritime adventure. The massive quality-of-life improvements to ship navigation and the rock-solid performance on current hardware elevate the already excellent Cross Action System to new heights. While a slow opening and a somewhat grind-heavy rune progression system keep it from sheer perfection, the thrilling combat, phenomenal soundtrack, and stellar character dynamics make it a must-play action RPG. A truly epic voyage that respects the legacy of the franchise.

    Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake successfully resurrects the absolute masterpiece of the franchise. The visual overhaul, the suffocating sound design, and the new side stories deepen an already tragic and unforgettable narrative. While the updated combat system is mostly a step forward, questionable additions like 'enraged' spirits and a slightly unbalanced upgrade economy can artificially slow down the pacing, especially during the first playthrough. Still, these flaws cannot overshadow what remains a phenomenal, chilling, and emotionally devastating J-Horror experience that every genre fan should play.

    Cairn is a brave, tactile, and often mesmerizing climbing experience that tries to capture the raw friction of mountaineering. However, its brilliant "independent limb" system is frequently undermined by invasive survival mechanics that break the immersion and a frustrating camera that struggles in tight spaces. It’s a game of high peaks and deep valleys: when it works, it’s a visceral triumph; when it doesn’t, it’s a fight against the interface rather than the mountain.

    Tribute Games has lived up to its name, creating a true tribute to the Scott Pilgrim universe. Scott Pilgrim EX isn't lazily inspired by the past, but rather builds upon the comics, film, animated series, and the old videogame to create something new and distinctly unique. A beautiful, arcade-inspired beat-'em-up that will delight genre purists and it also boasts a modern approach that, especially on the first run, adds a touch of spice to the adventure, set in a Toronto full of secrets to uncover and gems to discover. Scott Pilgrim EX is a gift that keeps on giving for Scott Pilgrim fans, a must-have, and a game not to be underestimated by anyone else.

    My Hero Academia: All’s Justice is sure to delight fans of the series. It serves as a fitting celebration of the long journey of Izuku Midoriya and the other protagonists, a journey that has moved and entertained audiences around the world for years. This is made possible by the large roster of characters, all carefully crafted, and by a solid amount of content, with numerous modes that not only revisit the story of the series but also capture the lighter, more carefree spirit of My Hero Academia. It’s a shame that the missions are overly simple, as it would have taken very little to make this the definitive My Hero Academia game.

    Nioh 3 is a smart evolution of a winning formula. Team Ninja successfully transitions to an Open Field structure without losing the tightness of its level design, while the new Samurai/Ninja duality adds a fresh tactical layer to an already stellar combat system. The game feels fairer and more accessible than its predecessors, removing artificial frustration in favor of readable challenges. While the narrative plays it safe and side content remains repetitive, the core loop is stronger than ever. A must-play for fans of the genre.

    Ball X Pit is further proof of the extraordinary creativity of the independent gaming scene. It's a title that knows its history well, drawing on classics such as Arkanoid, Tetris, and Breakout, and using them as a foundation to build a modern, brilliant, and surprisingly layered experience. The combination of RPG elements, management mechanics, roguelite components, and moments of pure bullet hell creates a unique game that is both frenetic and strategic. The gameplay loop is solid, satisfying, and capable of keeping the player in front of the screen for hours without noticing. The difficulty curve is well calibrated: challenging but never frustrating, always offering a stimulating and rewarding challenge. Artistically inspired by arcade atmospheres and accompanied by sophisticated sound design. A game that truly takes you into the abyss and manages to make that journey so enjoyable that you won't want to come back up.

Despite its modest scale, Horses turns its limitations into style, offering a haunting, socially charged experience that feels as cinematic as it is interactive.

    Kirby Air Riders isn't just a solid, yet atypical, arcade racing game; it's also a Kirby-themed playground with a variety of modes to choose from, which are very different from one another. The game has an incredible amount of content, and in an era where releases are often incomplete, this is something to be underlined. But all that content would be pointless if the game wasn't fun, and Kirby Air Riders knows this all too well: whether it's for a quick race in Air Ride, a lap of the track in Top Ride, or a five-minute City Trial, it's impossible not to be swept away by the charm, the colorful atmosphere, and the playfulness of Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, and all their friends.

    I found the first game in the series to be a smooth and enjoyable adventure — only partly dated, with its rough edges softened by the new features introduced by the development team. As for Dragon Quest II, I was even more impressed by how modern many of its mechanics feel and by the variety of the overall experience, which also provides a solid level of challenge, especially on the “Draconian Mission” difficulty. Of course, these are still productions from the mid-1980s which, although updated, retain the charm of a bygone era — something that may not appeal to everyone — and this is particularly noticeable in the somewhat unexciting mission structure.

    Pokémon Legends: Z-A isn't the break with the past that some might have hoped for, but it's a good Pokémon game that introduces a fun new battle system to the series and marks the return of Mega Evolutions, in a setting that will be familiar to fans and welcoming to anyone experiencing the world of Pokémon for the first time. The game suffers a bit from its cross-gen nature and its Nintendo Switch origins in terms of graphics, but this time around performance is not to be faulted. Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a great game, then, with many strengths, and it also has the value and quality of ending on a high note. For this very reason, however, it's even more disappointing to see the shortcomings of yet another Pokémon game that fails to reach the excellence it perhaps could and should have aspired to.

    Silent Hill f is a compelling yet flawed return for Konami’s iconic horror series: narratively strong and visually striking, it immerses players in a haunting psychological nightmare set in the eerie Japanese town of Ebisugaoka. Hinako's touching and unsettling story is the highlight, but the experience is held back by basic combat, limited enemy types, and a design that requires multiple playthroughs to fully understand the plot without enough gameplay variety.

    Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater is a visually stunning and meticulously crafted remake that remains deeply faithful to one of the most beloved video game masterpieces of all time. Every scene, line of dialogue, and camera angle is recreated with near-religious reverence, capturing the emotional and cinematic power of the 2004 original in crisp, modern detail. But this same unwavering loyalty is also its greatest limit: the gameplay, AI, level design, and many of the mechanics from two decades ago now feel noticeably dated, and Konami has made very few efforts to modernize them. Longtime fans will find a familiar and lovingly restored experience, but for those experiencing Naked Snake's journey for the first time, this version may feel a bit stiff.

    Rematch brings a bold twist to a genre that’s been playing it safe for too long, offering a fast, stylish, and skill-driven take on football. Its gameplay is both accessible and surprisingly deep, turning every match into a highlight reel. Still, technical hiccups, balancing issues, and missing features like crossplay and offline modes keep it from reaching its full potential. Sloclap has built something great, and with the right support, Rematch could grow into a true standout in the genre.

    The Alters by Polish developer 11 Bit Studios once again showcases their talent for blending complex gameplay mechanics with a thoughtfully crafted narrative and mature themes. The decision to make the protagonist's clones into fully realized alter egos - each with distinct personalities, backgrounds, and ambitions - adds meaningful depth to this unique survival-management experience. While the interface can feel a bit unwieldy, and the gameplay loops may become repetitive with an uneven difficulty curve, these issues don’t detract from the game's compelling story, immersive atmosphere, and solid visual design.

    Dune: Awakening shows immense promise, with a solid foundation that’s set to grow over time through strong developer support and early enthusiasm from the community. It’s easily the most faithful and immersive adaptation of Frank Herbert’s universe to date, crafted with a meticulous attention to detail that fans of the saga will instantly recognize. Despite its depth, the game remains approachable for newcomers, offering smart onboarding tools like the in-game codec to help players get acquainted with the world and its systems. The gameplay blends complexity with accessibility, supported by a clear and intuitive interface. While there are still some questions around multiplayer balance, this is shaping up to be one of the year’s most ambitious and rewarding survival MMOs.

    Death Stranding 2: On the Beach boldly expands the philosophical and post-apocalyptic universe created nearly six years ago by Hideo Kojima, enriching and diversifying the gameplay with dynamics, yet without managing to replicate the narrative strength, character charm, and emotional impact of the first, surprising chapter. Technically stunning and artistically inspired, this sequel manages to entertain and engage, but also leaves the impression that its narrative structure cannot always sustain the dozens of hours needed to complete the adventure without lapses in pacing and intensity.

    Lies of P: Overture is a strong and rewarding expansion that builds on the base game with memorable bosses, new gear, and a darker, emotional storyline that acts as both prequel and epilogue. While some issues remain - like uneven level design and occasional camera hiccups - the excellent combat additions, quality of life improvements, and high narrative quality make it a must-play for fans, offering 15 hours of rich, atmospheric content.

    A short but engaging roguelite. Its mechanics are both immediate and layered, and it closes the adventures of Queen Alexandra very well after Lost in Random.

    Mario Kart World is the most ambitious entry in the series so far, introducing fresh ideas like the standout Survival mode alongside its familiar, enjoyable gameplay. The concept of an interconnected world is a bold move that opens up new exploration opportunities, although the open world itself feels somewhat empty and some features seem a bit undercooked. Despite these flaws, the game delivers a solid and engaging experience that can provide countless hours of fun, especially with friends. It’s not quite the ultimate Mario Kart yet, but it’s a significant step in that direction.

    Monster Train 2 can end your social life in an instant because it is so fun, challenging and addictive. The many new features may not be particularly innovative, but they still manage to make this sequel a must-have roguelike deckbuilder for any fan of the genre.

    F1 25 is everything a Formula 1 fan could want. For the 2025 season, Codemasters' attention has focused on the return of Braking Point 3. The graphics and sound compartment remained at an excellent level, with appreciable renovation work on some circuits and a "reverse" experiment that proved successful. The sim-cade driving model has veered toward that of the well-received F1 23 to meet community demands, but the physics engine and game structure remain virtually unchanged with all the pros and cons. F1 25 remains a thoroughly enjoyable experience for fans of Leclerc, Norris, Piastri, Russell and co. New ideas are beginning to be lacking, however, while several modes and aspects of the game are beginning to show signs of aging.

    Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3 concludes the saga brilliantly from a narrative perspective, but the gameplay feels a bit weaker in its repetitiveness.

    The graphics are marginally improved, but the new Horde Assault mode breathes new life into an open world that, despite some repetitiveness, maintains its post-apocalyptic charm intact.
