It may not be perfect, or exactly how any of us wanted it, but Homeworld 3 is a great game.

Dread Delusion is an old-fashioned RPG that focuses everything on exploration and freedom, hitting the mark. Exploring these magical and strange flying islands is fun and exciting and is an experience we recommend, unless the only thing you want is to run straight and fight all the time. In fact, the melee system and AI of enemies is trivial, just an extra in the middle of the rest of the game. We would also have liked a bit higher difficulty level, but overall with its never-too-large map and interesting missions, Dread Delusion is an excellent adventure that you should not ignore.

Solo Leveling: ARISE is a very good action RPG, packed with spectacular graphics and a solid gameplay but also short and repetitive missions.

Minimal, surreal, proud of its own identity but also far removed from the average expectation of a modern-day JRPG of this magnitude, SaGa Emerald Beyond represents a step forward in its own JRPG approach, but also to the side. A very distinct personality and a solid combat system keep it on its feet even in the face of a narrative context that is complex to frame.

MotoGP 24 has one of the best game physics of the series but it's held back by an erratic AI that controls the other drivers and is generally inaccessible to new players

World of Warship Legends PvP manages to simplify the formula of the Wargaming series and make it suitable for mobile platforms. The immediate and fun gameplay, however, is undermined by the multiplayer battles, which appear unbalanced by a mechanism inexorably tending towards pay to win.

Indika is a significant adventure worth playing that speaks about religion and videogames as a medium.

Quotation forthcoming.

We eagerly awaited the return of Endless Ocean. Unfortunately, Luminous has largely disappointed expectations. The gameplay and level design are so ephemeral that relaxing while exploring the seabed is too boring and lacks any appeal.

AFK Journey can currently be considered the state of the art of idle RPG with gacha elements, although this doesn't mean much for those who don't digest this type of semi-automatic games. It is a refinement of AFK Arena in many aspects, from aesthetics to gameplay, although in others, such as in terms of narrative and character charisma, much more could have been done.

Phantom Fury is not bad, but it's a forgettable experience. It would be an iper boomer shooter, but fall short of its ambitions.

Sand Land is just a good game, as some would say: an enjoyable but in many ways dated experience, that brings Akira Toriyama's style to the screen with stunning cel shading that, however, is not supported by animations up to the mark, while the desert maps that characterize the main setting prove to be very uninteresting to explore. The vehicles work well in the game, however, as does the combat, and in the end ILCA takes home a decent result that Sand Land fans will appreciate.

Another Crab's Treasure is a soulslike action and platform game that manages to come up with some original ideas and knows how to entertain. It is a pity that it drags a bit in the ending, stretching the last section too long, but overall it is an adventure that we recommend, both for its good combat system and for its story, which in a mostly cheerful and comic way tells about the evil of pollution and capitalism.

Stellar Blade has exceeded our expectations, once again demonstrating how the Korean development ecosystem is not lacking in talented teams. It's certainly not a flawless game, and it suffers somewhat from direct comparison with its main inspirations, never really reaching their heights. However, it is a fast-paced action game, extremely solid and technically impeccable. It's a very promising first attempt in this field for Shift Up, which bodes well for the team's future projects.

Tales of Kenzera: Zau adheres perfectly to the promises made by the team, proposing itself as a more contained metroidvania experience than that offered by other members of the genre. Tales of Kenzera: Zau is therefore an excellent debut in video game development for Abubakar Salim and Surgent Studios, and a valuable addition in the rich catalog of EA Originals. We are sure that Salim’s father would have been proud to have inspired - albeit due to incredibly dramatic circumstances - such a well done work.

TopSpin 2K25 is a world class experience, but Hangar 13 will have to work hard to improve on the depth and variety of game modes and get as many top 10 finishes as possible.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is an honest tribute to the genre as it was in the nineties. The severe lack of modern quality of life features might discourage new players but the gameplay is rock solid and feels Suikoden every step of the way. Which is enough said.

Harold Halibut is a touchy narrative adventure with a strong personality, due to stop motion technique.

We Are Football 2024 is a good step in the right direction. It aims to be a more manageable and user-friendly version of Football Manager, but it needs more realism in the simulation and a better match engine.

Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a very traditional and very derivative stealth game that definitely delivers an enjoyable experience for fans of this subgenre.

Headquarters: World War 2 is a compelling turn strategy game that evolves the XCOM formula.

Broken Roads is an old-school role-playing game that draws heavily from revered classics like Wasteland, Fallout (especially in terms of settings), and Planescape: Torment. With its well-established and ever-relevant mechanics, it manages to engage veteran players, primarily due to its intriguing plot and multiple-choice dialogues, which allow for extensive replayability. It’s a shame that certain aspects are neglected, although this can be partially justified by the available resources: with five years of development, more could have been achieved.

Death Noodle Delivery is the Cyberpunk version of Paperboy with a compelling story to tell and an ending that makes you think about the nature of video games themself.

Children of the Sun is no rough diamond. Maybe a harsh diamond. Actually, it's not even a diamond. It's a lump of coal that no one wants, but some people fall in love with. Somehow, the vengeful journey of the young girl who has lost everything because of broken promises, in its darkness, in its boundless cruelty, manages to capture you. This trajectory of death makes one feel like the conductor of a macabre ballad. A small work not for everyone, but worth trying.

Botany Manor is a solid puzzle game that lasts just long enough and is able to tell an interesting and more exciting story than we would have expected. It manages to do this gently and without ever overdoing it, with just a few lines to read here and there that are enough to tell us everything we need, both in terms of play and narrative, without wasting our time or boring us. If you like the genre we absolutely recommend it, just don't expect a particularly high level of challenge.

Geneforge 2 - Infestation is a role-playing game in which the role concept is developed in every possible way.

TerraTech World is a solid and intelligent game, creative and compelling in its own small way. However, this is not enough to mitigate the negative effect of some questionable choices.

Despite some flaws, Pepper Grinder is far from being an unsatisfactory video game. In an industry where quality has now become synonymous with quantity, the game developed by Ahr Ech and published by Devolver Digital goes against the grain. Nothing too complex, but complexity is certainly not required to propose a fun, old-fashioned adventure that looks more to the past than forward, while still being able to amaze with the "little" it has to offer.
