An ambitious sequel that doesn't just offer more of the same old Frostpunk experience but brings the series in a new direction. If you are a veteran of the first game, you may initially feel disoriented by the new gameplay formula, but give it time, and you'll find that Frostpunk 2 is another excellent game from 11 bit Studios.

Dustborn has great unrealised potential, and that's a shame. The alternate world it sketches out is fascinating, and the cast of characters, with their diversity, adds great value to an otherwise poor experience that fails to shine in any other respect.

Gundam Breaker 4 is an absolute must-play for fans of the franchise, and the fast-paced and fun combat system limits the repetitiveness of the experience. However, the lack of depth and fan service make it a game not for everyone.

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is something that, until recently, no fighting game fan would have considered possible. Inside this package you will find some real milestones of the genre that shows the ability of the Capcom developers to evolve a format to the point of making it iconic. Thanks to the presence of training and online modes, as well as challenges for the best score with other players for arcade matches, this collection brings these timeless classics fully into the present.

A disappointing outcome, especially considering the prestigious names involved in its creation, like Yoko Shimomura and Kazushige Nojima. Despite their contributions, the game fails to live up to its potential, with lackluster storytelling, underdeveloped characters, and repetitive combat mechanics. While the Tokyo-based setting and the political undertones initially seem intriguing, they quickly devolve into shallow execution. The game's graphics, combat system, and soundtrack also suffer from mediocrity. Overall, Reynatis appears to be another missed opportunity from Furyu Corporation, relying on big names but delivering an ultimately forgettable experience.

Conscript is a harrowing, immersive survival horror that boldly explores the brutality of WWI. Despite some balance quirks, its oppressive atmosphere, tense gameplay and thematic depth make it a must-play for fans of the genre seeking a challenging, thought-provoking experience.

A stylish, distinctive, and intriguing action-adventure platformer. It's not challenging, long, or mechanically deep, but it oozes magic from every 2D or 3D pore.

On a pure gameplay level, NBA 2K25 is "The" basketball simulation. Too bad about 2 K's "vampire" attitude that sucks money in online modes. Like it or not, you must make in-game purchases to compete; the gameplay and graphics innovations convinced us, somewhat less so those related to game modes: the Steph Era is cute, and The W has unexpressed potential. The rest has not changed much from last year.

Originally a beloved Capcom title, this remake enhances the gameplay with modern quality-of-life improvements, while staying true to its roots in many ways. From upgraded graphics with RE Engine to improved survivor AI, the experience is more accessible, but this might divide long-time fans. The remaster succeeds in updating a classic, appealing to both newcomers and veterans, though some might argue that the essence of the original's hardcore difficulty has been softened. An impressive rework that balances nostalgia with modern sensibilities.

Deathbound shines with ambition and innovative ideas, but stumbles in execution. Its unique party system and fascinating setting clash with technical issues and weak narrative, with the result of an imperfect but intriguing experience for Soulslike fans.

A good starting point for something bigger, a reliable and more welcoming expansion than ever, but certainly not innovative.

A bland horror narrative adventure, too focused on paying homage to the Dead by Daylight universe rather than on creating a compelling and convincing story.

Yars Rising blends metroidvania and retro with mixed results. Appealing graphics and nostalgic tributes don't offset basic level design and repetitive mechanics. A decent adventure that fails to leave a mark, suitable for genre fans seeking an accessible but uninnovative experience.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is the best way to experience the Wizarding World's most famous sport in video game form. The gameplay is well thought out, with each role unique and differentiated from the other, and the changes to the Quidditch rules make the matches more competitive and balanced. Unfortunately, the game offers very little content - with the single-player content, in particular, running out within a few hours - and needs a ranked match system to entertain the most competitive players. Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is recommended to all fans of the most famous wizard in the world who will have something to enjoy; everyone else can safely move on until the promised updates arrive to improve the situation.

A highly respectable debut game, Black Myth: Wukong offers a version of the Journey to the West rich in content and enforced with a balanced level of challenge.

Astro Bot is a very accessible and enjoyable 3D platform game, featuring gameplay full of great ideas, flawless controls, and solid graphics. It's hard not to fall in love with it, especially if you're new to the genre.

While not without its flaws, Space Marine 2 is a solid third person shooter that expands on the legacy of its predecessor with some cool story moments for Titus and his men, and plenty of fun to be had in dealing with the deadly tyranids and the other enemies of humanity, either in the campaign or in the other game modes.

An unmissable collection for all fans of the series, which offers a new and very welcome point of view outside the well-known courtrooms.

A colorful, bizarre, uchronic stealth game where combining the formidable skills of the Enigma Squad in real time is more satisfying than operating from the shadows.

If you liked the first chapter, you'll find in Volgarr the Viking II a bigger, longer, and more challenging sequel that will undoubtedly satisfy you despite some arguable aspects of the approach to the difficulty.

The comparison with College Football 25 could have been merciless for Madden NFL 25, but EA Orlando came out pretty well. To play it is arguably the best post-pandemic episode. Bringing it up to the level of the college football title requires fewer bugs, new ideas and a willingness to twist a winning formula.

It's not the perfect action-adventure that hopeful fans were expecting, but Star Wars Outlaws remains an enjoyable open world experience in both narrative and gameplay.

Concord is excellent on the shooter side but less so on the hero side: the potential is there, but the execution so far could be better. The problems remain more impressive than the bland characters, and this is not a good sign.

After the remake of the first two episodes of Famicom Detective Club I was really hoping for a return of the franchise, and Emio - The Smiling Man does not disappoint thanks to first-class art direction, an interesting plot and its retro soul.

A finely re-made classic that is still as engaging and fun as it was back in 2002.

A commendable comeback for the series, capable of offering a beautiful, bittersweet story and captivating gameplay in its liveliness.

An adorable little strategy game that's deeper than it appears and has a wonderful soundtrack by Steam Powered Giraffe. Absolutely a gem.

Creatures of Ava offers a visually and conceptually ambitious alien adventure, shining for its non-violent approach and fascinating world. Despite some imperfections, the game manages to create a quite original experience for lovers of exploratory and ecologically conscious adventures.
