    Ground Zero
    Ground Zero doesn’t simply replicate classic survival horror aesthetics—it builds on them, pushing familiar ideas into new territory without losing their essence. While issues with enemy design and controls hold it back at times, its strong visual and audio presentation, along with solid replay value, make it an appealing experience for classic survival horror fans.

    The End of the Sun
    The End of the Sun shines most in its narrative, placing Slavic culture and mythology at the center of the experience. Its puzzle-driven gameplay supports a journey that meaningfully explores these themes. The work of such a small team is admirable, but it comes with noticeable technical shortcomings, particularly in performances, performance stability, and overall production design.

    The Day I Became a Bird
    The Day I Became a Bird is a short but charming experience. Its story resonates on an emotional level, transporting players to a very specific moment in life. However, its brief length and limited gameplay make it feel more like an artistic piece than a traditional video game. It’s easy to recommend if you’re looking for something light and nostalgic, but don’t expect a deep or highly replayable experience. Viewed as an interactive short story or a playable vignette, it’s far more likely to leave a lasting impression.

    MOUSE: P.I. For Hire
    MOUSE: P.I. For Hire doesn’t reinvent the boomer shooter formula, but it carves out its own space through a strong visual and audio identity. Its gameplay is solid, accessible, and fun, though it can feel somewhat simple at times. The blend of noir cinema and cartoon aesthetics works better than expected, resulting in a cohesive experience that stands out more for its style and execution than for its ambition.

    Kiln
    Kiln presents a concept that feels tailor-made for modern multiplayer, and at its best, it shows exactly why that idea works. Its pottery system is creative, the core premise is refreshing, and matches can be genuinely fun. However, its limited combat depth and a lack of content ultimately hold it back. It’s a game that’s easy to enjoy in short bursts, but unlikely to become a long-term staple in your rotation. With the right support, it could grow into something much bigger. For now, it’s a promising idea that still needs more time in the kiln.

    SAROS
    Overall, Saros feels like a natural evolution of what Housemarque achieved with Returnal, but with enough ambition to try to surpass it. The game refines the genre and takes it to interesting and exciting new places through smart design choices that aim to balance challenge and accessibility without compromising its core essence.

    Life is Strange: Reunion
    Life is Strange: Reunion is, surprisingly enough, the conclusion the series needed. With a return to the classic gameplay of the first title, it also offers fans a reunion they’ll never forget. Although it may seem forced at first, it ultimately proves justified through moving character dynamics and a captivating investigative storyline.

    The Posthumous Investigation
    The Posthumous Investigation doesn’t aim to reinvent the genre, but it doesn’t need to. Its strength lies in its narrative, character development, and a creative approach that draws from other art forms to deliver something different. The time loop, investigative structure, and thoughtful art direction come together to create an engaging experience that, while simple in gameplay, remains compelling throughout. It may not appeal to everyone—especially those seeking action or mechanical variety—but for players who value well-crafted storytelling, it’s a safe bet.

    Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE
    Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake proves that not every remake needs to reinvent itself to succeed. By staying true to the original while refining its technical aspects and making subtle gameplay adjustments, it preserves what made it special. Its deep narrative, psychological horror, and haunting atmosphere remain as effective as ever. It may feel a bit rigid for newcomers, but it still stands as an essential experience within the genre.

    • 85 Critic Score
    Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream
    Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a hard game to judge by traditional standards. It doesn’t aim to be deep or complex, but instead thrives on unpredictability and player-driven chaos. While repetition and limited interaction may turn some players away, its unique identity and emergent humor make it a surprisingly engaging experience. Not essential, but undeniably distinctive.

    PRAGMATA
    Pragmata stands out through its distinctive combat system and the compelling relationship between its protagonists. Blending third-person shooting with puzzle-solving in a seamless package, the game emphasizes the cooperative dynamic between Diana and Hugh. This synergy not only enriches gameplay but also drives a deeply emotional narrative, centered on themes of parenthood and the lengths one is willing to go to protect their children.

    Pokemon Champions
    Pokémon Champions delivers a more accessible competitive experience with smart quality-of-life improvements, but it falls short of greatness due to limited content and critical bugs. While the foundation is strong, it currently feels like an unfinished product that needs significant updates to truly shine.

    Project Songbird
    Project: Songbird is a survival horror game that prioritizes introspection over cheap scares. Its narrative, visual style, and atmosphere set it apart, though its controls and puzzles can be frustrating. It doesn’t reinvent the genre, but it does offer a unique, intense, and deeply personal experience within the current horror landscape.

    Marathon
    Marathon is a game that, over time, could well become a cult classic. With its intense gameplay, Bungie-quality shooting mechanics, and the risk of losing everything, it creates an addictive gameplay loop. It has a strong chance of building a solid community, though casual players are likely to opt for less demanding options.

    Super Mario Bros. Wonder: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park
    Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park is a solid but largely unnecessary upgrade. The core platforming remains as creative and fun as ever, but the new content feels minimal, with recycled single-player additions and multiplayer modes that fail to justify the higher price. Great for newcomers, but easy to skip for returning players.

    Darwin's Paradox!
    Darwin's Paradox! is a decent game that, while not reaching its full potential, has enough interesting ideas to warrant a try. Its presentation is charming, the level design is mostly adequate, and despite some stumbles in the puzzles and stealth sections, it manages to be a fun, albeit short, experience that fans of 2D platformers can appreciate.

    Crimson Desert
    Crimson Desert is an ambitious project that showcases Pearl Abyss’s potential in the AAA space, but also reveals its limitations. Its spectacular visuals and some standout mechanics fail to make up for a weak narrative, unintuitive controls, and mission design inherited from the MMO. It’s not a failure, but neither is it the revolution it promised to be: it’s an important step forward, though still far from establishing itself as a benchmark for the genre.

    DAMON and BABY
    DAMON and BABY is a game full of personality, with a charming aesthetic and mechanics that work well on paper. When everything clicks, it delivers genuinely enjoyable moments, but it struggles to maintain that consistency. Inventory limitations, the save system, and some design issues make the experience feel more cumbersome than it should. Still, there’s enough charm in its mix of action, humor, and adventure to make it worth trying. It’s far from a failure, but it never fully reaches its clear potential.

    Screamer
    Screamer makes the most of its arcade roots, delivering gameplay that feels both solid and challenging. While its career mode falls into some of the familiar pitfalls often seen in anime-inspired storytelling, the variety of modes offers different ways to approach each race. The controls and high-speed intensity may take some getting used to, but once it clicks, the experience proves highly rewarding and packed with fun.

    Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection
    Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection stands as the evolution the sub-series truly needed. Its larger world, far more demanding strategic combat, and epic storyline prove that the series can grow well beyond its original concept. While some bosses may feel punishing for newcomers, the end result is a solid and ambitious JRPG full of identity that significantly elevates the Stories line.

    Pokemon Pokopia
    Pokémon Pokopia is an interesting spin-off that blends life simulation, building, and exploration into a relaxing experience. It may not reinvent the genre, but its charm and creative ideas make it a pleasant change of pace for Pokémon fans—especially those who enjoy slower, more creative gameplay.

    Scott Pilgrim EX
    Scott Pilgrim EX is a pretty solid beat 'em up with a Bryan Lee O'Malley touch. Tribute Games has done it again with a fun and deep combat system that allows you to combine skill with the strategy of building stat-boosting characters. Even with some repetitive sections and a light story, the game will easily charm fans of the franchise.

    PancitoMerge
    PancitoMerge is a fun game that manages to build its own identity within the object-merging genre. While it works best in short sessions and can become repetitive during longer play periods, its affordable price, engaging gameplay, and charming visuals are more than enough reasons to give it a try. In fact, we believe it could shine even brighter if it eventually made its way to mobile devices, given the nature of its gameplay.

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
    Animal Crossing: New Horizons on Switch 2 doesn't reinvent its gameplay, but it polishes it with visual improvements, expanded multiplayer, and a free update that breathes new life into the game. While its new features are conservative and some of the Switch's capabilities feel underutilized, the low cost of the upgrade and the solid content keep it as the definitive experience in the series.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
    Final Fantasy VII Remake on Switch 2 is a bold port that prioritizes visual fidelity and complete content over space optimization. While its file size is excessive by Switch standards and it does experience minor performance drops, it offers one of the best technical experiences seen on the console, perfect for reliving Midgar on the go.

    Code Vein II
    Code Vein II is a solid sequel that understands its identity and refines it without losing its essence. Its strategic combat, deep customization, and narrative create an engaging experience for fans of the Soulslike genre. Although its visuals aren't particularly innovative and its difficulty can be intimidating, it manages to position itself as a coherent evolution that rewards patience and mastery of its systems.

    2XKO
    2XKO is undeniably a very fun title with deep fighting mechanics and a unique personality. However, behind the frenetic fights and impressive production design lie the pitfalls of a free-to-play game, such as an aggressive monetization, and a lack of significant content in its first week.

    Dragon Quest VII Reimagined
    Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is an exemplary remake that respects the essence of the original while modernizing its systems for new audiences. Its narrative, non-linear exploration, and combat adjustments make it a more accessible experience without sacrificing depth. Square Enix has found a new path to revitalize JRPG classics, delivering a solid game for both veterans and newcomers.

    My Hero Academia: All's Justice
    My Hero Academia: All’s Justice is an ambitious and visually appealing game that ultimately falls short due to its failure to prioritize quality over quantity. For the most devoted fans of the series, there may be enough celebratory moments to justify the experience. However, for those seeking a mechanically solid and satisfying arena fighter, its shortcomings are too significant.

    Mario Tennis Fever
    After completing everything Mario Tennis Fever has to offer, the experience feels somewhat bittersweet. While it features a larger roster and more game modes, its underwhelming campaign and certain gameplay changes hold it back. That doesn’t make it a bad game—it’s definitely fun, especially with friends. However, it continues the unfortunate trend of recent Mario sports spin-offs feeling rushed and full of untapped potential. It may not stumble as hard as Mario Strikers: Battle League, but it’s disappointing that it didn’t build more directly on what Mario Tennis Aces achieved, opting instead for a different direction.
