    MotoGP 26
    MotoGP 26 offers its usual and appreciated driving model, now embellished with numerous details and realistic riders. The driving modes can satisfy both demanding players seeking a ruthless simulation and those who just want to have fun. However, it lacks in content: the renewed Career convinces when using a custom rider, but it disappoints with real ones due to unnecessary limitations. And the removal of historical features adds to a worrying list of cuts over the years, undermining its overall value for long-time fans.

    Invincible VS
    Invincible VS brings Robert Kirkman's world into a video game and brings attention back to the 3vs3 fighting game genre. Battles are frantic, extremely violent, and make good use of tag mechanics with accessible controls. Unfortunately, balancing issues and a severe lack of single-player content with a disappointingly short Story mode, hold the game back. It is a recommended purchase only for hardcore fans of the series or genre.

    Aphelion
    DON'T NOD delivers a linear, narrative-driven space adventure focused on the connection between its two protagonists. While it shows excellent direction and great characterization, it stumbles on a basic level design, repetitive gameplay, and an underdeveloped story plot. A flawed yet very fascinating interstellar journey.

    Life is Strange: Reunion
    Life is Strange: Reunion drives us through a nostalgic trip back in time, bringing Max and Chloe together again in a comfortable and familiar adventure. However, its heavy reliance on recycled assets, overly conservative gameplay, and a lack of true narrative courage prevent it from reaching the emotional heights of its predecessors.

    REPLACED
    REPLACED is an awesome debut for Sad Cat Studios, who deliver us a fascinating cyberpunk pixel art adventure with satisfying combat. Despite some balancement issues, it remains a great action-platformer and a must-play for fans of dystopian sci-fi adventures.

    Tides of Tomorrow
    Tides of Tomorrow stands out thanks to its narrative structure and its novel asynchronous multiplayer system, which adds personality to the journey without feeling gimmicky. Thanks to its ability to engage us with complex and impactful choices, and despite some pacing issues and predictable plot twists, it remains a fascinating adventure.

    PRAGMATA
    Well-conceived and beautifully crafted, Pragmata is a remarkable and enjoyable game. It might lack that extra gear needed to enter the pantheon of masterpieces, but if the goal is to offer a solid and thrilling experience, it completely hits the mark.

    Hades II
    Hades II surpasses every expectation, delivering one of the most accomplished roguelike experiences ever. Deep, addictive, and impeccably balanced, it keeps us glued to the controller with rich content and refined gameplay, coupled with a strong narrative and stunning visuals.

    Crimson Desert
    Crimson Desert is a massive and ambitious project defined by its extremes: it presents itself as a vast open-world game that incorporates the greatest modern gaming achievements, yet it suffers from a fragmented identity, shoddy storytelling, and an overwhelming abundance of content that stifles its original spirit. Nevertheless, it’s an adventure that’s well worth your attention, poised to improve steadily through dedicated post-launch support.

    Marathon
    Marathon is a carefully crafted extraction shooter: Bungie uses all its artistic and technical expertise to deliver an intense, brutal, and challenging experience, with a frantic and highly competitive gameplay supported by a unique artistic direction. Its uncompromising difficulty and punishing endgame might not be for everyone, but it remains a fascinating and rewarding journey for anyone willing to brave the harsh world of Tau Ceti IV.

    Darwin's Paradox!
    Darwin’s Paradox is a charming 2.5D action-platformer capable of offering pleasing visuals, brilliant level design, and varied gameplay. Darwin’s adventure is entertaining and driven by clever mechanics and humor, even if occasional frustration arises from trial-and-error sections and imprecise underwater controls. Despite this, it remains a solid and entertaining platformer well worth playing.

    Towerborne
    Towerborne impresses with its stunning art direction and simple, lighthearted, and intuitive gameplay, but it leaves the impression that, in the transition to its final form, it lost something along the way, resulting in a game that’s less engaging and captivating than it was during its early access period. The result is a title that’s visually stunning and enjoyable to play, but less immersive than it could have been.

    Screamer
    Screamer is a game of contrasts: on one hand, it offers a very deep and crafted story mode, supported by great art direction and a good technical execution. On the other hand, the gameplay feels too basic and unrewarding, with the novelty represented by the dual stick steering system quickly wearing out, and limited power-ups that fail to deliver the chaotic fun that we'd expect from an arcade racer.

    WWE 2K26
    NBA 2K26 is one of the most complete and successful chapters in the series. The gameplay is finally solid, the roster is huge, and the amount of content on offer is truly remarkable, even if some historical modes could have benefited from further improvements, and monetization still seems rather aggressive. Despite this, it's still one of the best wrestling games around.

    Planet of Lana II
    Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf builds on the already good predecessor to deliver a more varied, deep, and rewarding adventure. With great anime-like art direction, clever and challenging puzzles, and a compelling and emotional story, it stands as a 2D side-scrolling adventure that deserves to be played by any lover of narrative adventures.

    Resident Evil Requiem
    Resident Evil Requiem masterfully balances both souls of the series, while honoring a three-decade-old lore and laying the foundations for the future. Grace’s psychological terror and Leon’s action-driven intensity are expertly balanced and are coupled by great visuals and compelling storytelling. A must-play, both for the series' fans and anyone looking for an intense adventure.

    Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties
    Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a much-needed remake in the Yakuza series, offering the fans a boatload of new content and streamlining some of the most controversial sections of the original game. With the addition of richer visuals and the excellent Dark Ties expansions, and despite some overly aggressive cuts and mandatory pace-breaking side activities, the final result is definitely a game that the series' fans shouldn't miss.

    High on Life 2
    The new title from Squanch Games is extremely ambitious, attempting to expand the original formula in every aspect. However, it clashes with production issues, resulting in a rough and imperfect experience with a repetitive gameplay loop. What truly shines is the brilliant writing, absurd situations, and memorable characters. If you seek a flawless FPS, look elsewhere; but if you want a crazy, fun adventure, High on Life 2 remains a wonderfully flawed gem.

    My Hero Academia: All's Justice
    My Hero Academia: All's Justice brings Bandai and Byking’s fighting saga to a close with mixed results. Reliving the final story arc is thrilling for fans, supported by a large roster and accessible yet rewarding combat. Team Up Missions add welcome variety, though many ideas lack polish. Primarily suited for dedicated followers, it hints at a future installment that could fully realize the series’ potential.

    REANIMAL
    REANIMAL is a high-quality horror adventure that elevates Tarsier Studios’ signature elements to new heights. Blending distinctive gameplay with deliberately cryptic storytelling, it delivers an experience that is both gripping and deeply unsettling. Grotesque design, meticulous direction, and a strong co-op mode enhance the formula, making this new IP a meaningful evolution and an essential addition for horror fans.

    RIDE 6
    RIDE 6 returns in strong form, building on its predecessor with more bikes, distinct riding styles, and a deeper, less restrictive Career mode featuring legendary racers. Enhanced visuals, dynamic weather, and robust content ensure lasting appeal, while Pro and Arcade options welcome all skill levels. Minor AI issues and limited track innovation hold it back, but it stands as the series’ finest entry yet.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
    After a long wait for Xbox owners, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade delivers a stunning experience that blends spectacular action with strategic depth and respect for its roots. It expands the original’s world and characters with strong pacing and cinematic flair. A rushed, disconnected finale and heavy reliance on prior knowledge slightly undermine the impact, but it remains a compelling, must-play title.

    Code Vein II
    Code Vein II is a confident and engaging action RPG sequel that reworks the first game’s foundations to deliver a broader, more balanced experience. Despite a slow opening, underwhelming technical execution, and the lack of multiplayer, its deep, flexible combat system and rewarding progression keep it compelling for dozens of hours. A strong recommendation for genre fans, even those who skipped or disliked the original.

    Bye Sweet Carole
    Driven by a striking and unforgettable visual style, Bye Sweet Carole delivers a charming, multifaceted adventure that genre fans shouldn’t miss. Clearly fueled by passion, it doesn’t achieve perfection in every gameplay element, yet it offers a memorable, emotionally resonant experience. Overall, it stands out as one of the most notable highlights of the recent Italian video game scene.

    MIO: Memories in Orbit
    MIO: Memories In Orbit is an uneven yet compelling experience, swinging between genuine engagement and notable frustration. Excessive backtracking and unclear design choices test patience, but a strong artistic direction and striking visual identity often make up for the rough edges. It doesn’t hold the player’s hand, yet its demanding nature delivers real satisfaction, making it a worthwhile metroidvania for those who appreciate challenge and imperfection.

    Silent Hill 2
    Silent Hill 2 remains one of the most powerful narrative experiences ever created. Replaying it over 20 years later with remade visuals and gameplay is invaluable, especially for newcomers to Silent Hill’s haunting world. Some mechanics feel dated and the push for constant scares can be heavy-handed, but its atmosphere and storytelling still make it essential for fans of survival horror and narrative-driven games.

    ARC Raiders
    ARC Raiders delivers a standout third-person extraction shooter, blending genre fundamentals with fresh, varied challenges that keep the action rewarding for all playstyles. Inventory management and console UI need refinement, but the core experience sets a new benchmark. With consistent post-launch support, it could become a long-term reference point for anyone seeking dynamic and engaging solo or co-op action.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 7
    Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is arguably the richest Call of Duty ever in terms of content, delivering an incredibly fun and robust multiplayer experience from day one. However, it falls short of excellence due to a mediocre, disjointed campaign and some noticeable technical compromises stemming from its cross-gen development. A great package, but held back by its flaws.

    The Berlin Apartment
    A smart, sensitive walking simulator built around a real, evocative setting rendered with strong style. Josef, Kolja, and the others carry a focused 4–5 hour narrative that stays engaging despite minimal gameplay and limited interactivity. For players who value story-first experiences, it delivers concentrated narrative substance without distractions.

    • 85 Critic Score
    The Outer Worlds 2
    The Outer Worlds 2 improves upon its predecessor in mission design, combat, and meaningful player choice, offering a solid sci-fi RPG experience. However, it unfortunately falters in its narrative, with a lackluster story and unconvincing companions that fail to engage, leaving a technically proficient but less inspired adventure.
