Skate Story is a surreal, style-heavy skate adventure with a surprisingly tight sense of flow, smart risk-reward combos, and a standout soundtrack. Its hub sections can feel like filler and the camera occasionally struggles at high speed, but the overall trip is inventive, hypnotic, and hard to forget.

Hell is Us isn’t without flaws, but it’s one of those rare games that dares to be different. This sci-fi survival adventure thrives on atmosphere, tension, and mystery, pushing players to figure things out on their own instead of spoon-feeding answers. The combat could definitely use more depth and variety, yet the overall experience feels refreshing in a landscape crowded with safe sequels and predictable formulas. As a debut, it’s bold, ambitious, and brimming with vision. This is the kind of game that might not please everyone, but deserves attention and respect.

With a handful of iconic characters and brutally satisfying gameplay, this Reloaded edition is a stellar PS5 upgrade for Gears of War. Sure, its Xbox 360 roots occasionally show, but Gears remains one of the best cover shooters ever made. An absolute must-play.

Activision delivers another rock-solid, nostalgia-fueled skateboarding ride. It’s just a pity they messed so much with the structure of Part 4.

This Switch 2 release is easily the best-looking version of the platforming classic, with slick visuals, fun new transformations, and clever remixed levels. But for the asking price, it feels like the package should deliver more content.

An excellent PC port of a game that thrives on action. The story is less fleshed out than the main character, but the fast-paced combat is even more immersive on PC.

Id Software doesn’t shake up the formula flawlessly, but despite some shallow mech and dragon levels, they deliver another brutally fun shooter.

MotoGP 25 builds on the rock-solid foundation of MotoGP 24. Once again, the folks at Milestone prove they’re the only mainstream developers who truly know how to handle two wheels.

Bethesda Game Studios doesn’t just bring the visual spectacle — they pack in a ton of upgrades without losing that classic Oblivion feel. A remaster done right, if only it weren’t for those annoying framerate dips.

The captivating visual style, rich atmosphere, and cast of strong characters easily make you forget the mediocre gameplay in this one-of-a-kind action platformer.

While its co-op-only campaign disappoints, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 rebounds with blisteringly fast multiplayer and one of the strongest Zombies modes in years. With sharper mobility, punchier progression, and some of the series’ most chaotic maps yet, this entry proves there’s still plenty of life left in Black Ops.

Baby Steps is absurd, clumsy, and oddly heartwarming all at once. Its hilarious ragdoll physics and painfully precise controls turn every step into a slapstick struggle, while the underdog charm of Nate keeps you rooting for him through the frustration. Not for the impatient, but a unique ode to failing, falling, and getting back up again.

Borderlands 4 expands the formula with its first true open world, smoother movement options, and a host of quality-of-life improvements that make it the most streamlined entry yet. The chaotic combat and endless loot remain as addictive as ever, but the many technical issues prevent it from reaching its full potential. Fans will find plenty to enjoy, though it falls short of being the definitive next-gen Borderlands experience.

MLB The Show 25 shows respect for its players, with minimal microtransactions and a few genuine attempts at innovation. The only downside? The yearly release cycle makes it hard to justify this upgrade.

While Rogue City was the ultimate RoboCop game, Unfinished Business feels more like a watered-down rerun — albeit one with a few extra hits of sweet nostalgia.

EA Sports FC 26 makes a confident return with its best career mode in years and dynamic Live Points scenarios. Dual gameplay styles add variety, though familiar flaws and Ultimate Team’s shadow persist. It’s not Champions League material yet, but a strong return to form.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a solid in-between title for Soulslike fans. But if you’re looking for the next big step in the genre, or a Soulslike with a truly memorable identity, you’re better off looking elsewhere.

Jamboree TV brings some fun new Switch 2 features to an already great party game. The motion-controlled mini-games and all-new Frenzy Mode are definite highlights, but the clunky game structure and camera-based Bowser mini-games don’t quite hit the mark.

The Outer Worlds 2 doubles down on witty dialogue, clever character building, and the offbeat humor that made Obsidian’s RPGs stand out. Its branching choices and quirky personality shine, but clumsy AI, overwhelming menus, and garish visuals hold it back. A solid yet uneven space adventure that entertains more for its charm than its polish.

A fun and clever way to explore all the tech and features of the Switch 2. It’s both entertaining and educational — but honestly, it’s a crime Nintendo’s charging for this. It should’ve been free for everyone.

An intriguing experiment—perfect for multiplayer fans who don’t shy away from a tough challenge. But whether the Souls niche was really craving this? We’re not so sure.

Mafia: The Old Country is a cinematic and atmospheric journey into the heart of the Sicilian mafia. But behind its beautiful façade lies outdated, uninspired gameplay that leaves much of its potential untapped.

Aside from a few original ideas, Shadow Labyrinth ultimately falls short as a Metroidvania. The combat is overly basic, the platforming gets repetitive fast, and the game is brutally difficult. Our advice? Just rewatch that episode of Secret Level instead.

Little Nightmares III looks great but lacks bite. Its haunting art direction and eerie atmosphere still impress, but the short runtime, predictable puzzles, and dull AI partner make this sequel feel smaller in every sense. Play it in co-op if you can — alone, it’s only half as fun.

Rebellion puts forward an interesting concept with Atomfall, but doesn’t flesh it out enough to make it truly memorable. Despite a pretty — yet static — game world, Atomfall stays shallow across the board. Maybe Atomfall 2 will get it right?

A moody, atmospheric vampire RPG with strong narrative moments and memorable characters, but held back by dated visuals, clunky combat, and a hollow open world. Beautiful ideas, flawed execution.

NBA 2K26 is a disappointing step back for the franchise. Core gameplay issues, messy design, and aggressive monetization overshadow the few highlights that remain. While MyNBA still offers depth, it can’t compensate for a product that feels stale and exploitative. A series once celebrated for authenticity now looks more like a cash grab than a love letter to basketball.

This sequel is a clear step backward. While the developers aim for a more emotional story, the empty, lifeless world and one-dimensional characters undermine that ambition. The gameplay is serviceable, but lacks the impact and refinement expected from others in the genre.
