Akimbot is undoubtedly a good 3D platformer that honors its biggest and most obvious references, with good world-building, a more-of-the-same narrative and competent mechanics. But it dares little and hardly risks exploring anything beyond what we've seen before.

Ravenswatch is a roguelike that stands out for presenting distorted versions of well-known characters and placing them in a very well-designed dark world. The diverse build possibilities enhanced by the cast of characters and modifiers guarantee a good replay factor, especially when played in a group. However, some updates with more content are necessary for the game to remain interesting in the long run.

No More Heroes 3 is a title that I've been waiting for a long time, but it didn't live up to expectations. It's a game that shows great potential, but never commits to fully realizing them, resulting in an experience that is unique but unsatisfying.

The Awakened King develops the story of the world of Losomn and adds a good amount of items and content to Remnant II. That's enough to keep players entertained for a while longer with what was already one of the best action games of the year.

Steel Seed is a remarkable experience, with an engaging protagonist, an impactful setting and versatile gameplay that invites experimentation. The combination of action, stealth and exploration is well executed, and the world-building and emotional narrative easily engage the player. However, technical issues such as occasional bugs and excessive darkness in important parts of the game compromise the immersion and fluidity of the experience, preventing the title from reaching an even higher level. Despite this, the overall work is solid and deserves to be highlighted, especially for those who value games with a strong narrative appeal and dense atmospheres.

Dawn of Ragnarok is the perfect expansion for what the latest trilogy in the Assassin's Creed franchise set out to tell. With a fun new world to explore, new skills and, most importantly, a very well written story that should please longtime fans of the series.

Visually stunning and faithful to the series' atmospheric horror style, Little Nightmares III impresses with its aesthetics but lacks substance. The new title, although well-executed, suffers from its repetitive formula and lack of creative daring. The inclusion of online co-op is a welcome addition, but the absence of local co-op is unjustified. It is a good game, but it is far from a significant step forward for the franchise.

Born of Bread is one of the biggest surprises of the year. An initially simple RPG, but one that captivates with each new mission and companion we encounter. In addition to the visuals heavily inspired by Paper Mario, the game brings a lightness that I haven't found in a title of this genre for some time. Fun, with delicious exploration, combat that works, an excellent soundtrack and full of pop culture references, Born of Bread is a game that deserves attention and that fulfills its main objective: to entertain and, at the end of the day, leave us with a smile on his face.

Good combat is what stands out most in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn by A44 Games. Even though the universe is interesting to learn more about and has a decent exploration system, there are specific problems that prevent the game from standing out even more.

Overcoming an uninteresting and confusing beginning to the game, as well as flawed level design at times, can be a big challenge here. In any case, there is a lot of interesting stuff in Blades of Fire and an originality that needs to be highlighted in the combat and weapon creation system, even though the game is otherwise heavily inspired by other works.

Despite being technically competent, Grim Guardians: Demon Purge fails by playing too safe in certain aspects, leaning too much on its inspirations, and also by not paying attention to simple and basic things expected from the genre. In the end, it delivers an average and unimpressive experience.

The DioField Chronicle surpasses every expectation, delivering a great Strategy RPG thanks to its challenging real-time battle system and a rich setting that sustains a great story full of politics and good characters. The few issues are due to the simplistic progression system and the narrative that could be even better, but its a game that deserves the attention of fans of the genre.

Deathbound brings some interesting ideas for soulslikes. However, design and technical issues prevent it from achieving a more prominent place in a genre such concepts are fundamental to determining what is really good.

The change of engine in Monster Energy Supercross 25 - The Official Video Game will bring, in the medium and long term, the necessary benefits to a franchise that was clearly stagnating. But the current version of the game still relies on its old qualities in gameplay, while suffering from the same limitations in both the visual presentation and the conservatism of the game modes.

Lords of the Fallen is full of good ideas and has the qualities to be a great Soulslike. But, in order to reach its full potential, some enemy mechanics and technical issues must be addressed.

Sonic Frontiers manages to mix what we expect from a Sonic game with an open world full of collectibles. The gameplay is great, the soundtrack is fantastic and the graphics are good. The title lacks in the difficulty, story and in the visuals of the cutscenes.

Monster Jam Showdown is, without a doubt, a robust product full of great qualities in transposing this universe to the world of games. However, the lack of diversity in content and especially its identity crisis between realistic elements and pure banter prevent it from being as fun as it could be, inflicting a shameful self-sabotage.

Initially engaging, Yurukill: The Calumniation Games brings its conclusion far too soon, without taking advantage of its interesting cast and premise. The sum of its parts is worth it, but if you are a fan either of mystery games or shmup, the game doesn't sustain itself.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a very simple game aimed at children. Despite good graphics and interesting combat, the gameplay is generally very repetitive, there is no incentive to explore the maps and the dialogues are bad.

Without any major changes other than a slight visual and physics update, Madden NFL 25 is still a great sports game. Even without direct competition, it delivers a complete experience for fans, and only for them.

qomp2's peculiar movement scheme is, at the same time, the one thing that sets it apart as a puzzle platformer, but also a possible source of frustration. With coherent mechanics, but little varied visuals and a creative potential that is not explored as it could have been, it is a title that will please fans of the genre for as long as it lasts, as long as they don't expect something striking or surprising.

Haunted House is exactly what you expect from a conventional roguelite, favoring stealth over direct combat. Abusing a cartoonish artistic style, it offers good but sometimes unstable mechanics, as well as a solid but repetitive and not always rewarding progression model.

Teslagrad 2 still focuses on the imprecise physics of electromagnetism mechanics, but the structure transition was inconsistent, guiding the player through a short campaign that induces linearity and does not encourage exploring the interconnected world. Fortunately, the Nordic setting, the pleasant visuals, the folk songs and the moments of agility provide a solid identity that results in a good experience, even if it's not impressive.

Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition delivers a fun and engaging experience, balancing action and stealth within the Alien franchise universe, with a well-crafted setting, exploration, and soundtrack that enhance immersion. The VR adaptation to the conventional version was well executed, preserving the essence of the game. However, certain visual glitches take away some of the experience's shine, and the tension and terror don't quite reach the level of Alien: Isolation. Even so, it's a solid title and recommended for fans of the series and the genre.

The prequel to Road 96 introduced substantial gameplay changes, but not everything was for the better. The music rhythm challenges are decent and fun for the most part. However, the game lacks in its adventure format, especially due to the poor narrative and shallow characters.

Martha is Dead is a horror game that had everything to hold the player's attention. Although the story is really strong, there is a very slow pace, which ends up causing exhaustion before even halfway through the game.

With a story full of twists, an audacious writing that makes us question the character's actions, a spectacular art direction along with a dark and mysterious soundtrack, Saga of Sins turns out to be a good action and platform title. Its multiple endings are interesting and somewhat rewarding, but some of them leave to be desired.

Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER is a great narrative game with very interesting themes and an engaging story, driven by both its creative themes and captivating characters that bring the Neo-San Francisco universe to life again.
