Mario Kart World dazzles with stunning visuals, an interconnected track system, and endless multiplayer fun, making it a strong launch title for the Switch 2. However, its cautious design, lack of deep customization and simplified gameplay hold it back from true greatness. The new content feels safe rather than bold and longtime fans may miss some of the series' more ambitious mechanics. Still, it's an undeniably fun racer that shines brightest with friends on the couch.

It may not be flawless, but it is still amazing just how good this trilogy stands despite the test of time. A compilation of Sigma and Razor's Edge games, you could call this a definitive collection of sorts when it comes to the 3D Ninja Gaiden titles. And even though the Switch version sacrifices resolution in order to achieve a perfect frame rate, it is such a joy to be able to take these games on the go.

If you have younger family members, Shopenkraft’s Magic Goods is a fantastic choice as an introduction to the world of VR. But even if you’re not in that age group — let’s be honest, we all enjoy escaping reality every now and then into a magical world. And what better place to do that than in the role of a shopkeeper in an enchanted store full of potions, secret ingredients, and extraordinary customers?

Just what the adrenaline junkies wanted for so many years, Redout is an audio-visual bomb that manages to deliver impressive sense of speed, brilliant track design and a thumping soundtrack.

John Carpenter's Toxic Commando is a high-octane love letter to 80s action-horror. By blending the chaotic scale of the Swarm Engine with satisfying arcade gunplay and heavy-duty vehicular combat, Saber Interactive has crafted a co-op experience that prioritizes pure, unadulterated fun. While it leans heavily on genre tropes, its infectious energy, neon-drenched aesthetic, and pulse-pounding synth soundtrack make it an essential play for fans of cooperative shooters.

The best thing about this game is its beauty, from the first to the last second of it you simply get to enjoy watching art deco stained glass puzzles with their vibrant colors. It is a gaming equivalent to a day under a blanket with a hot chocolate cup in your hands sifting through book pages on a rainy day.

F1 2019 is another great instalment to the ongoing Codemasters’ franchise of F1 games. Although it presents a bulk of quality of life updates, short story mode, and F2 license, it still isn’t much of a big upgrade from last year.

Dead Space remake improves the original in terms of visuals and audio vastly, yet gameplay remains mostly the same. It may not have aged that great, but for fans that just want a major graphical overhaul and some new content, this is a dream come true.

If you are up for some cute, simple and potentially cooperative action RPG experience starring a cat and a dog, well this game will be right up your alley. Not too long or complex, yet truly can satiate your hunger for the cute... And some hunger for the action and RPGs. Give it a try! If nothing, it will make you giggle.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong clearly reflects how good ideas and design age. They don’t. A graphical redesign but same at its core, this game may require a niche audience. However, when it finds it, it simply shines the brightest.

Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny Remaster brings the PS2 classic to modern platforms with sharper visuals, smoother controls, and quality-of-life tweaks. It stays true to the original’s samurai-demon slashing roots while adding widescreen support, instant weapon switching, and brutal new difficulty modes. A faithful restoration with just enough polish. Unless you were itching for something a bit more…

Chronicles of the Wolf is a treat for fans of classic 2D Castlevania games, offering a richly detailed world and a strong sense of old-school atmosphere. While its exploration and presentation shine, the game keeps the challenge level relatively low and brings few innovations compared to modern metroidvanias. A nostalgic experience best suited for longtime genre devotees rather than players seeking fast-paced or experimental design.

While the game is called Overwatch 2, this all seems more like a transition to a full new game. The biggest changes are dropping the 6v6 gameplay in favour of a much more exciting 5v5 format. Three new heroes are also available, along with a new game mode, but for a final and real verdict, everyone should wait for the upcoming PvE segment.

Miasma Chronicles is a step in the right direction, built on the foundations of the studio's previous game. You may call it a spiritual successor, but what it is, is an immersive, simple, yet enjoyable tactical RPG with an intriguing story and some nice graphics. If you are into strategizing and post-apocalyptic worlds, there's plenty to look forward to here.

LEGO 2K Drive manages to capture the essence of kart games, and most importantly, lets your imagination roam free. You can create and alter vehicles indefinitely, then let them race on numerous tracks and finally, enjoy it all with your friends. Has a really charming story too.

This is a collection of some of the greatest video games in history. On the other hand, it’s based on an old HD collection and yet somehow manages to look and perform even worse than 12 years ago. In terms of what it is, it’s an amazing package. But in terms of care it’s given, it’s absolutely disappointing.

KIBORG is an ode to old beat-em-ups but in a roguelike setting. Even though the arenas are a bit bland, especially at the start of the game, the implant mechanic is fun enough to keep you invested just to see what you can build next. If you can forgive the overall blandness and the horrid voice acting, there is fun to be had with KIBORG. And it runs surprisingly well on a Steam Deck.

Nightreign is an asset flip done right. It may lack new content in comparison to its predecessor, but it compensates with fast paced gameplay and a very fun multiplayer experience that many fans will return to.

Little Nighmares III keeps the eerie charm of its predecessors, adding co-op play and great visuals, but limited multiplayer options and mild innovation hold it back from true greatness.

NBA 2K26 delivers the most polished basketball simulation yet, with smoother player movement, an improved shooting meter, and a stronger MyCareer narrative. However, persistent pay-to-win mechanics, heavy reliance on microtransactions, and occasional bugs hold it back. For die-hard fans, especially those invested in premium editions like Leave No Doubt, it’s still a must-play, but casual players may find the experience less rewarding without spending extra.

Exploring Warsaw at the onset of the 20th century and its many political and social topics is a fantastic experience. Expect intriguing characters, mature themes, enjoyable exploration and plenty of narrative role-play options. On the negative side, the combat quickly becomes repetitive, and some gameplay mechanics feel undercooked.

WWE 2K24 is probably the most complete and refined edition to date, especially under 2K. It presents really fun and in-depth MyGM and Universe modes, and while its MyRise and Showcase modes could bring more to the table, its fun gameplay and focus on actual singleplayer fun starts slowly redeeming the franchise after some serious pitfalls in the past. Well, unless you are a PC player…

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened is a high-quality and well-polished remake which brings the old classic to modern standards. The game offers a good story, intriguing characters and diverse locations to explore, but don't expect challenging puzzles and gameplay.

An updated version of last year’s edition does not offer enough content to justify its full price. But as ever, if you want to play the newest edition, you have but one choice. Sure, it’s better, more realistic and updated with new events and data, but the fans of basketball deserve more than an annual recycle and sadly, this is just that and a bit more.

While the release of this and the anniversary collection at the same time (where this one makes for a lesser package) is an absolute mystery, the Wonder Boy Collection is a great pack of gaming history. Not only can you witness the way the series was shaped throughout the years, but its games remain fun to play even today.

2K24 brings enough upgrades to the table to keep things fresh. The Kobe Challenges and revamped animations make for some excellent highlights of the newest NBA simulation. Still, the absence of EuroLeague and increased microtransactions prevent the game from being one of the better entries in the series.

Even though unpolished, there’s a lot to enjoy in Outlaws. Sure, the game is plagued by some outstanding bugs and glitches, but when it works properly, it offers an interesting experience that does not heavily rely on the Jedi and the Force. It’s trying to do something new, fresh, and daring, and that is something worth praising it for.

Children of the Sun is a fun sniper shooting puzzler that offers very engaging gameplay, but just as it uses its mechanics to its fullest potential, it ends before you even realize it. It is very light on its story but flourishes with such a great dark atmosphere and flavour that it makes you wish it explored its world more and offered additional levels or alternate game modes.
