Starfield represents the first big Bethesda entry as an Xbox exclusive (better late than never), and it's a good one. While it is not completely ‘’bug free’’, the developers put a lot of work and passion into it. It might not be the most unique RPG ever, but it still offers an unforgettable experience backed with Bethesda's long history and expertise.

Esoteric Ebb is a remarkably confident CRPG that wears its Disco Elysium inspiration on its sleeve while delivering exceptional writing and meaningful player choice. Though not entirely original, its execution is polished, thoughtful, and often brilliant. One of the strongest narrative-driven RPGs in recent years.

An honest, sometimes even painful, story about friendship and finding yourself. Life is Strange is played with a lump in the throat and its ability to make a grown man tear up is its true "power".

Rocket League has the most addicting gameplay we experienced in a while now. Playing this game reminded us why we fell in love with gaming in the first place.

DOOM: The Dark Ages is a safe and simple downgrade of the Doom franchise. As Eternal makes you think about your every choice and move, feeling like a fighter jet, The Dark Ages wants you to feel like a tank, made of Styrofoam. While the parry mechanics are extremely important and play a big role in the game, the gunplay is easily overshadowed. Music is tame, repetitive and is not memorable in the slightest. Mick Gordon is surely missing. With the asking price of 80 euros, I would stay away as far as possible from this game or at least play it on Game Pass.

Frostpunk 2 is a vividly different game from its predecessor that functions as a fully fledged sequel, and that narratively follows its change of mechanics. It is more of a social simulator than a survival city builder, but it still poses as a great and decision heavy experience that will test your moral values at every step.

Control is one weird, surreal and astonishing experience. While it is lacklustre in some areas of gameplay and possesses some performance issues, it is a prime example in environmental storytelling and clever subtle narrative that encounters some thought-provoking themes.

PRAGMATA blends heartfelt character chemistry with innovative dual-layered combat, delivering a consistently engaging and emotionally charged experience. At times, it feels like a game revealed six years ago, but it ultimately delivers on a long-made promise.

For fans of Commandos and similar squad-based games, Shadow Tactics is a must play. It is a pure tactical bliss, even more so if you're into Japanese culture and history.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is one of the most fun and compelling voxel and creative experiences the genre can afford to a player. Even though it fails to use some of its features, as a co-op, and it possesses some smaller misconceptions here and there, it truly is a fascinating building RPG experience with the amount of content to provide you dozens upon dozens of hours of fun.

If you love climbing, reading, mystery and slow-paced games, this one is a pick like no other! If you can’t stand any of these elements, we’d suggest giving this game a try either way. There is just something captivating in Jusant that you can’t easily find on the market these days.

Silent Hill f marks a bold new step for the series and a clear sign of Konami’s return to AAA games. The Japanese setting feels fresh, while the atmosphere, visuals and psychological horror stay true to the franchise’s identity. Despite some technical issues and uneven combat, the game delivers a strong story and an unsettling experience that fans of the genre will surely appreciate.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is a fantastic sequel that expands upon its core concepts and gameplay mechanics while delivering an even more emotional and thrilling story. A true masterpiece and yet another GOTY contender from the talented team at Jump Over The Age.

This has got to be the best "souls" clone yet. It is perfectly balanced, has tons of customization and improvement options, a great character editor and hundreds of satisfying challenges that will get you to improve, with each step you take. Weaker story and several minor flaws, do reduce the perfect score, but this is still a strong "9 - I would die again!"

"Switcher" may sound like a pun, but it's real as a Succubi breast! One of the most renowned RPG titles of all time now goes portable. Lower rendering and texture resolution and weaker performance are a small price to pay for such an experience on the go. Make sure to get this, and get it physical, as its whopping 29 gigabytes of required free space can truly be too much for some of the Switch owners out there.

If you’ve finished Rise through and through, this expansion is something you will deeply cherish. A continuation of the adventure, filled with new challenges and content. Even old material is not simply recycled but given a new life. If only it was a bit cheaper…

Crusade brings everything that was missing from the original game, rounding it up into one of the best games in the genre.

Even though the game is the same at its core, the newest edition of Football Manager is an amazing experience, and still remains the best football management simulation out there.

Stasis: Bone Totem is a modern point-and-click masterpiece. With award-worthy voice acting, unique and memorable characters, stunningly macabre yet beautiful locations, a perfect atmosphere, well-designed puzzles, and a captivating story, what more could you look for in an adventure game?

Yakuza Zero is a fantastic game. Spectacular main story combined with great diversity of sub-stories and solid gameplay create a rather unique game.

Destiny 2 fixes a lot of problems from the previous game, but it doesn’t deviate from the original formula. With its lackluster content and little to no innovation, Destiny 2 brings nothing new to the genre but keeps that addictive lootfest gameplay which we all hate to love.

Skate Story is a surreal, visually striking skateboarding experience that blends precise mechanics with a poetic journey through the underworld. Its intentionally cryptic narrative is elevated by a powerful atmosphere and an exceptional soundtrack. Far removed from traditional skate games, it stands out as one of the most distinctive releases of 2025.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe brings back the beloved game and improves it on many fields. Better controls, more cooperative options and new story pieces to name a few. It does not enhance the game in visual terms enough to call it an improvement, yet if you wanted to go back to the Pikmin 3 or to experience it for the first time, this is the definitive version of the game to date.

The Alters is a very successful blend of base management, survival crafting, and narrative-driven exploration. It delivers a compelling story, intense gameplay, and a unique approach to the genre, offering strategic depth without being overwhelming, and allowing players to stay focused on the story.

WipEout is back in all its glory on the PS4. The classic E racer is amped for 4K and consistent 60FPS. With three games remastered on a single disk, it’s a must-buy for old-school players and newcomers alike who enjoy fast arcade racing games of old.

This is still that good fighting game from last year, without any significant additions nor massive changes besides new characters and cosmetics. With improved netcode and all balance fixes NetherRealm has released so far, Mortal Kombat XL is nearly a flawless victory.

Gorgeous, chaotic and maybe bit too linear, new rendition of Ratchet & Clank is well worth your attention. Whether you've grown up with the series or you've never heard of the titular duo, this is a brilliant space adventure that brings a smile to every face.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land manages to bring the charm of the series into the tridimensional world. While some of its mechanics and level design have trouble evolving in order to remain accessible to the less skilled players, the game holds ground as a remarkably fun and atmospheric adventure. An absolute recommendation to all the Kirby fans, but also to those that seek some lighthearted fun that one can never truly have enough of.
