Sons of Sparta is an interesting attempt to adapt God of War into a 2D metroidvania-inspired format. The interconnected exploration of Laconia works well, and the relationship between Kratos and Deimos adds value to the narrative, revisiting the protagonist’s youth. However, inconsistent combat, predictable progression, and some polish issues prevent the game from reaching its full potential. Still, as a complementary chapter in Kratos’ story, it offers a curious perspective on his past.

High On Life 2 delivers fast-paced FPS action wrapped in irreverent sci-fi comedy, with talking weapons, sharp satire, and a surprisingly fluid skate traversal system that keeps combat dynamic and stylish. The sequel expands on the original’s personality and creativity, offering vibrant visuals and memorable characters. However, performance issues on PlayStation 5, including frame rate drops and low internal resolution, hold it back from reaching its full potential.

Code Vein 2 expands on the ideas of the first game with more content, a stronger focus on dual combat, and a narrative built around multiple timelines. The story’s core concept is interesting, though characters and dialogue struggle to create emotional engagement. Combat remains methodical and strategic, working well in cooperative play and offering a good variety of builds, even if few boss fights stand out as truly memorable. Exploration is open and functional, but provides limited incentives beyond basic progression. Confusing interfaces, recurring technical issues, and visuals below expectations for the current generation hurt the overall experience. Overall, it is an above-average game that will please fans of the original Code Vein, but it fails to stand out in a competitive year due to its reliance on safe, unambitious formulas.

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 tries to innovate with a co-op open world campaign and psychological elements but fails in almost every narrative aspect. The story is disjointed, relying heavily on hallucinations and aimless twists that disrespect the franchise’s legacy. The multiplayer is more solid, bringing some welcome improvements over BO6, with good maps and the return of fan-favorite mechanics. Zombies mode also stands out, offering a robust and fun experience. Still, it feels like an annual release that could have been just an expansion, especially with a weak campaign, aggressive monetization, and a lack of truly new content.

Little Nightmares 3 preserves the franchise’s eerie atmosphere and strong visual identity, delivering tense chase sequences and well‑designed cooperative puzzles. However, the lack of local co‑op, unstable matchmaking, and a growing sense of repetition hold the experience back. Its cinematic direction and detailed environments are impressive, though depth perception issues often impact platforming. It’s a solid entry, but one that falls short of bringing meaningful innovation to the series.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is a loving tribute to the franchise’s classic era, bundling 11 nostalgic titles alongside a surprisingly rich interactive documentary. The historical context, visual archive, and new features like online play and fatality training elevate the package as a preservation effort. Unfortunately, input lag and online instability weaken the gameplay experience, especially in a genre where precision is everything. It’s a meaningful collection for fans and historians, but its technical issues hold it back from being a flawless victory.

Midnight Murder Club embraces chaos with a creative and atmospheric concept: dark, trap-filled matches where light, sound, and improvisation decide who survives. The tension-filled gameplay, clever sound design, and proximity chat create unique, often hilarious moments—especially when played with friends. The guest pass system and affordable price make it easy to share the experience. However, the game struggles with long-term appeal. A single map, unbalanced game modes, and unreliable matchmaking limit its reach and replayability. Without friends, finding matches is difficult, and the lack of content quickly leads to repetition.

Rematch is an online football game focused on fast, intense matches with full player control, offering a fresh and fun experience for friends. Its dynamic gameplay and unique concept stand out, but frequent technical issues, lag, and bugs hold it back. A promising title that still feels unfinished.

Badminton Time VR delivers a lighthearted and creative sports experience in virtual reality, offering arcade and realistic modes, entertaining minigames, and solid co-op matches with competent AI bots. While visually pleasant and occasionally engaging, the game is held back by technical flaws such as awkward camera angles, limited accessibility options, and poor matchmaking. With no support for Brazilian Portuguese and minimal online activity, its appeal is mostly for casual players looking for a fun, short-session game — ideally picked up during a sale.

to a T embraces the absurd and unconventional in a charismatic narrative experience. In the format of positive social critique, the game hits the mark on some issues but falls short by being overly silly and simplistic.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered delivers beautiful visuals and nostalgic charm, faithfully preserving the original's quests and world. However, its dated gameplay, poor performance, and frequent bugs seriously hinder the experience. A love letter to longtime fans—but for newcomers, it may feel clunky, frustrating, and overshadowed by more modern RPGs.

Bleach Rebirth of Souls offers fans a chance to relive epic moments from the anime but fails to deliver a satisfying experience. Repetitive combat, technical issues, character imbalance, and a limited online mode hinder the enjoyment. Despite nostalgia, it doesn't match up to other titles in the genre.

Skydance's Behemoth stands out for its intense combat and immersive exploration. The well-structured narrative and effective use of PlayStation VR2 features provide an engaging experience. However, some players may find the learning curve challenging and the battles physically demanding.

Warriors: Abyss blends musou action with roguelike elements, featuring fast-paced battles and over 100 playable characters. The fluid combat and engaging progression stand out, but repetition and a lack of variety in environments may limit the experience in the long run.

Fairy Tail 2 is a good game. The JRPG meets expectations by being fun, charismatic, and delivering a product that fans will enjoy. On the other hand, don’t expect the title to blow your mind with excitement. It has technical issues and fails to engage an audience unfamiliar with Hiro Mashima's work.

The thing remastered is another great shot from nightdive studios. Shooting mechanics stop being dated and become smoother, while technical effects shine in a deep horror atmosphere. But don't wait too long: linearity can impact those looking for more variety, while AI flaws make some encounters frustrating.

Sociable Soccer 25 is pure arcade, but as a game it is unable to engage due to the limited modes and extremely simple mechanics. Licensing is not very pleasing and stability problems greatly harm what was supposed to be an easy-to-optimize game.

Fans of Sword Art Online will certainly be pleased with the concept, which diverges from other games in the franchise. It's not hard to feel captivated by following the journey of beloved characters from the anime world, like Kirito and Asuna. On the other hand, don't expect a bed of roses with Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream. The flaws are quite evident and might bother those looking for smooth and addictive gameplay. If you enjoy the anime but aren't a die-hard fan, it might be worth waiting for a sale.

Rogue Flight lives up to classic arcade space shooters, but with a special charm driven by its visual effects, anime aesthetic, and DualSense support. The campaign may be a bit thin, but it's impossible not to have a lot of fun.

While disappointing and plagued with technical issues, Shadows of the Damned is a great game, but it should have stayed in its time. Hella Remastered brings back Garcia Hotspur's journey with fun shooting, but offers few improvements to justify its return.

Whitewater VR: Extreme Kayaking Adventure is a fun sports game that makes great use of the PS VR2 features. There are limitations in modes and technical aspects, but there is no denying that it offers a visually stunning and very immersive experience.

Caravan SandWitch has what it takes to calm your nerves: a relaxing soundtrack and gameplay. Don’t expect anything complex, just enjoy its few hours of play. On the other hand, the French title still has some areas for improvement, such as the need for a little grinding to progress in the story. This is something that could easily be discarded. If you're looking for short adventures that fit into your busy schedule, the game can be a good choice.

Filled with all sorts of bugs and in large quantities, Parcel Corps is a frustrating and highly repetitive experience that fails to revive the classic sports and adventure games of the 'golden age'.

Whether you're a horror fan or not, the PS5 version of Until Dawn is still not made for you. There's no way to recommend a remake that hardly justifies its existence, especially in an apparently incomplete state, where bugs and outdated facial expressions are too frustrating. Positive points go to the gameplay and additional content, but the overall value for money is far below expectations.

Undisputed is like that young fighter that shows a lot of potential, but still has to learn a few things and improve in every aspect to become a true champion. But it's a promising start for a new boxing series, which is something the fans have been waiting for a long time.

With a good start, very versatile combat and interesting atmospheric construction, Pneumata stumbles in a labyrinthine and frustrating level design, where even the most gentle situations can become terrifying, but not in a positive way.

It is difficult to recommend Dustborn in the face of a catalog with stronger and more established offerings. Although it has a very specific universe, the monotonous pace and the difficulty in forming connections with the characters make the experience feel unengaging.

Home Safety Hotline is a creative and stimulating analog horror experience, with a visual focus and guided accessibility. Its excessive simplicity may annoy more demanding fans, but nothing that a short and productive work journey can't solve.
