Spellcaster University makes a smooth transition to PS5 with improved performance, but its core remains a laid-back, slightly clunky management sim that feels more at home on PC.

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…

Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer is a stellar sequel that improves on every front—from its enhanced visuals and deeper storytelling to its evolving characters and more refined detective and puzzle gameplay.

JDM is a passion project that delivers on its solid drift physics and general vibe of the up-and-coming driver in the ruthless Japanese drift community. It suffers from rough edges with its weird handling system and optimization issues, but can pose as a hidden gem for those in need of old-school racing nostalgia.

Empyreal delivers a chaotic fusion of diverse gameplay mechanics and features. It's a bold cocktail—one that you'll either savor for its intensity or recoil from due to its sharp bite and fiery finish. While it may not be for everyone, it's definitely worth grabbing on sale or trying out if you're up for a challenge.

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.

Days Gone Remaster brings visual upgrades, improved performance, and new gameplay modes to an already atmospheric open-world survival experience. While the story lacks emotional depth and mission variety remains an issue, technical polish and fresh challenges like Horde Assault Mode breathe new life into the game.

A brilliant return to the golden age of arcade fighting games, this collection brings together eight carefully selected 2D and 3D classics. Beyond the excellent lineup, the collection features a wealth of visual settings, polished presentation, and solid online support with stable netcode. It’s a restoration that shows great respect for the originals. If you’re into retro fighting games and want to play them the right way—this collection is a knockout.

The Bazaar is an interesting and very addictive blend of auto-battler and deck-building mechanics, wrapped in a unique PvE/PvP hybrid format. With hundreds of unique cards and a satisfying progression system, each match feels like a fresh challenge. After a rocky early access phase, the game has turned into a true gem and one of the most compelling strategy experiences of the year.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is a stellar remaster that goes far beyond just visual enhancements, delivering a wealth of gameplay refinements and quality-of-life improvements. It’s an essential experience for longtime fans and a surprisingly welcoming entry point for newcomers to the series.

If you crave vast, mysterious alien landscapes, this game lets you rocket-skate over them on a hoverboard. Camera and controls can feel sluggish, even tedious, but its rich atmosphere still delivers a thrilling off-world adventure.

With its striking stop-motion-like visuals, rich folklore-inspired world, and atmospheric soundtrack, South of Midnight offers a unique and memorable journey. A slightly repetitive yet distinctive Southern Gothic action-adventure, it delivers a simple, satisfying, and a hauntingly beautiful exploration experience.

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.

Forever Skies offers a captivating and imaginative world that invites exploration and discovery. Its survival mechanics are accessible and forgiving, though the combat lacks excitement. Ultimately, the real joy lies in designing and building the most creative, unconventional airborne base you can imagine.

Blue Prince is a unique fusion of puzzle adventure and roguelike mechanics. With deep replayability, layered mysteries, and a progression system that rewards patience and methodical thinking, Blue Prince is a deeply original experience that blends cerebral challenge with roguelike persistence. It’s not for everyone—but those who dive in will find one of the most rewarding puzzle games in years.

Yumia marks a bold new chapter for the Atelier series—not just with its true open-world design, but through a noticeable shift toward classic JRPG mechanics and a step back from the series’ traditional alchemy-focused systems. It also takes a more serious and darker narrative turn, setting it apart from the lighthearted and whimsical tone of previous entries.

Amerzone is a game that truly deserved a remake—both to reintroduce Benoît Sokal’s stunning art and imagination to a new generation, and to let longtime fans experience its beauty in an entirely new light. With updated visuals, enhanced gameplay, and new features, this remake isn’t just a nostalgic revisit—it’s a must-play, even for those who completed the original.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is nothing short of a masterpiece. Words can’t fully capture just how remarkable this game truly is. Play it ASAP and let the experience speak for itself.

Two Point Museum is a charming and lighthearted management sim with a fun premise and quirky humor. While it offers an enjoyable experience, its repetitive gameplay and lack of real challenge may limit long-term appeal for some players.

Split Fiction is an explosion of creativity that does not compromise fun for anything. The story amazingly compliments the various gameplay styles and approaches that never go stale. If It Takes Two was revolutionary, Split Fiction is an amazing step up in the genre and a showcase of amazing gameplay ideas. It’s proof that when creativity is allowed to flourish, exceptional games follow.

Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a stellar and truly fun game that poses as a testament of Ryu Ga Gotoku’s Studio's excellent gameplay design and writing. Even though it is riddled with minor issues and is effectively a spin-off title, it is truly worth your time, at least for scratching that pirate gaming itch.

Rebirth of Souls takes some risks that pay off. Although a bit too complicated and poorly explained, its fighting system ends up being quite satisfying. It's a well-thought-out fighting game that could have used more of the 'oomph' Bleach deserves, but is still a welcome addition to the market, which hasn't seen many titles from this series in a long time.

Atomfall blends post-apocalyptic survival with British folklore in a unique narrative-driven open world. The game features exploration, NPC interactions, and challenging inventory mechanics, with impressive graphics and an immersive atmosphere. It’s a promising start for a potential new franchise.

Assassin’s Creed: Shadows is the best entry in the series since Origins — a stunning visual achievement with a solid gameplay loop that, unfortunately, loses momentum over time and is held back by a weak story.

AI LIMIT copies so many elements that the genre has already established. But it still manages to find its unique way and deliver an unforgettable experience. It is a simple but undeniably atmospheric game. And we fell in love with it.

With this new trilogy, the entire Tomb Raider saga is now fully playable in one complete collection. However, the janky camera and clunky controls still take away from the experience a bit.

This sequel delivers a new adventure with Van and his crew, along with a mix of fresh and familiar faces. However, the narrative takes a noticeable dip. If you don’t follow the Trails series and have only played the first Daybreak title, you might find yourself struggling to fully enjoy Trails through Daybreak II.

Star Wars: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles didn’t need a remaster, but it did deserve preservation. Unfortunately, aside from slightly enhanced graphics, little has changed or improved. The controls feel jankier than ever, and the same frustrations from years ago remain intact. That said, it might still shine as a co-op drinking game, taking a shot every time you're knocked down by a blaster shot. Or maybe not, someone could get poisoned.
