    Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is an ambitious RPG that, despite technical flaws and clunky mechanics, captivates with a dark, atmospheric world, an intriguing reimagining of Arthurian legend, and exploration reminiscent of genre classics.

    F1 25 races ahead with stunning visuals, ultra-realistic Lidar-mapped tracks, and a revamped My Team Career mode rich in management depth. While inconsistent AI and questionable driver ratings hold it back, the refined driving model and broad content - spanning Braking Point 3 to F1 World - make it a well-rounded package for both casual fans and dedicated sim racers, assuming you're always online.

    Elden Ring Nightreign blends soulslike intensity with mechanics from other genres. A high-adrenaline yet deep game, it introduces a blast of fresh air with ideas like shrinking safe zones and build-from-scratch expeditions. While solo play needs refining and asset reuse is noticeable, strong combat and co-op potential make it a worthy entry point for newcomers and a satisfying twist for veterans.

    Deliver At All Costs is a fun, chaotic break from heavier blockbusters, a perfect pick when you're after destructive entertainment. Its concept and writing are solid, and the execution feels refreshingly original, though limited by a modest budget. Still, for its price, it offers a quirky, enjoyable ride packed with roadside mayhem and just enough intrigue to keep things interesting.

    Blades of Fire is a demanding action-adventure shaped by MercurySteam’s distinct style: rich worlds, deep systems, and thoughtful combat centered on its excellent weapon-forging mechanics. However, cryptic objectives, confusing level design, and an unremarkable story can frustrate. Despite these flaws, its strong identity and rewarding progression make it a worthwhile journey for patient players seeking a unique, handcrafted challenge.

    Witty and self-aware, Revenge of the Savage Planet is a fun, breezy sequel ideal for co-op play. Some bugs remain, but its charm and humor make it well worth checking out.

    Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is a high-quality action-RPG that blends metroidvania and souls-like elements with impressive cohesion. Strong exploration, deep combat, and standout presentation give it a clear identity, despite some repetitiveness and a less-than-polished launch. Packed with secrets, side quests, and optional bosses, it's a rewarding experience for fans of the genre - and for anyone seeking a fresh challenge.

    Steel Seed moves between highs and lows while still being enjoyable for its entire duration, shining in its settings and in the stealth and platforming phases, while the story and combat system are definitely improvable. If you love stealth action and cybernetic atmospheres, it's worth giving it a chance.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is destined to become a classic, with a deep and well-written storyline, a spectacular soundtrack and top-notch graphics, along with a well-tuned combat system. One of the best JRPGs around.

    Monster Energy Supercross 25 offers a refined gameplay, strong of a new bike physics management and dynamicity of the tracks, succeeding in always giving us exciting and fun races. It unfortunately stumbles on a technical realization that leaves a bit of a sour taste and a certain lack of willingness to dare, but it still remains an excellent Supercross game.

    Immediate, fast-paced and fun, Sociable Soccer can provide matches of pure arcade fun, and the addition of the management component to the Career mode succeeds in getting people hooked, even if the simplicity of the various systems ends up hurting its longevity. Undoubtedly the best arcade soccer since Sensible Soccer.

    Bleach: Rebirth of Souls introduces some interesting gameplay innovations and a not huge but highly differentiated roster of characters, with a compelling Story mode that will satisfy both the fans and who is approaching the Bleach series for the first time. Too bad, tho, for the lacklustre technical side, plagued by blurry visuals and unstable performance, and an almost unplayable online mode.

    South of Midnight is a fascinating journey into the magic of the Deep South, among beautiful scenery, strange characters and game mechanics that, while not inventing anything, are fun and engaging. The art department, both visual and audio, is phenomenal, while something could have been done to improve combat and the story pace, but it's nonetheless a game that all lovers of the action-adventure genre should try.

    Assassin's Creed Shadows succeeds in immersing us in a beautiful medieval Japan, full of activities and missions to be carried out with the character we prefer; the settings, the narrative/cinematic approach, and the stealth gameplay are its strengths, but it's a pity for its too weak connection to the franchise's meta-lore and a sometimes disorienting mission structure. Regardless, if you love the series, action RPGs, or Japanese settings, it is a title not to be missed.

    Split Fiction is a great title that repurposes and improves on the elements that allowed It Takes Two to become GOTY in 2021, all seasoned with a good quality storyline that always remains perfectly balanced between depth and levity. A highly recommended co-op game for those who want to spend several hours of fun together.

    Monster Hunter Wilds improves on the series by introducing many welcome new features that pave the way for new gameplay strategies, reaching gameplay peaks that have never been so high, while the environments and new monsters are also decidedly fascinating. Despite a graphics engine that fails to properly support the game world and a drop in difficulty that might make purists turn their noses up at it, we are faced with an excellent and enjoyable title, recommended both to newbies and lovers of the franchise.

    WWE 2K25 improves and refines the already good previous version, but the new The Island mode feels too immature and tied to microtransactions, while the arena crowds are still not up to par with the rest of the simulation. It's an update that takes the series a step forward, but it still doesn't scream miracle.

    Two Point Museum further refines the management game series, eliminating flaws present in previous titles and improving gameplay with the introduction of financial management and expeditions. Considering the budget price, I recommend the purchase to all fans of management games.

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is excellent both technically and creatively, presenting us with a memorable Bohemia and great storytelling. The complex and unforgiving mechanics may feel too challenging for some players, but for those who have a flair for this type of experience, it is a must-play and a truly memorable adventure in terms of its sense of freedom, richness of situations, and manic attention to detail.

    With substantial changes in appearance, modes, and gameplay, PGA Tour 2K25 introduces major improvements over its predecessor. A big step in the right direction for the series, to aspire to become the ultimate golf simulator.

    Lost Records: Bloom & Rage tells a coming-of-age tale that takes too long to get off the ground, spending far too much time on slow dialogue and not too engaging scenes. The nostalgic element and the general story are appealing, but we feel the lack of a greater element of interactivity or a different rhythm in the narrative. I suggest waiting for the release of the second part of the story, so as to better evaluate a possible purchase and enjoy the whole story without interruptions.

    Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii alternates heavy doses of madness, a charismatic protagonist and fast-paced, satisfying gameplay with bare-bones naval exploration and heavy recycling of activities and situations, nevertheless managing to deliver a worthwhile experience.

    With Avowed, Obsidian confirms itself as one of the best RPG studios around, capable of reworking a now-classic formula by rejuvenating it, lightening it up, and combining it with first-rate storytelling, world building, and gameplay mechanics. We are undoubtedly in front of a true gem of the RPG genre, to be played without hesitation.

    Even if it suffers from ups and downs and we feel the lack of some features from the past (including a real end-game that takes us into the future era), Sid Meier's Civilization VII fully succeeds in modernising and improving the historic saga, thanks to the introduction of game systems that make the whole experience smoother, more satisfying and engaging. Highly recommended for both veterans of the series and newcomers.

    Despite some design flaws, budget limitations, and insufficient localization, the great world-building work and physics-focused gameplay make Eternal Strands a game worth trying out, especially given its Game Pass inclusion; we wish for it to be a success, so to create the basis for more investment for a sequel that will be able to fulfill the great ambitions of the Yellow Brick Games team.

    Enotria: The Last Song is a solid souls-like that blends the traditional mechanics of the genre with intriguing ideas, enriched by the unique charm of Italian folklore and an original story set in a breathtaking kingdom. On the backside, its narrative can feel scattered and the combat quickly becomes repetitive and unrefined, coupled with a rough technical production. Despite its flaws, though, it remains a title that fans of the genre and lovers of Italian traditions might still appreciate.

    Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1-2 Remastered allows us to get our hands on two gems from the past, embellished with numerous technical and content enhancements that are cleverly amalgamated and in no way distort the original work. The most demanding gamers will have to turn a blind eye to some of the mechanics stemming from the years when the two games were conceived, but they remain two video game milestones to be tried without hesitation.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl feels like a two-sided coin. On the one hand it offers one of the best open world experiences to be found in an FPS, but on the other it has significant technical problems. We still recommend playing it and not being put off by some of the obstacles, because it is an experience worth trying.
