Shadow Labyrinth innovated within the Pac-Man games by boldly venturing into a dark and gritty direction no one expected. However, in terms of art style and substance, the game offers little that sets it apart in an already crowded market

Gothic 1 Remake succeeded in preserving the spirit of the original game more than attempting to fully modernize it - a decision that gave it a unique identity but also left many of its old issues intact. As a result, the experience carries a special charm for longtime fans, yet it suffers from clear flaws that prevent it from reaching the level it could have achieved had it dared to redesign some of its core foundations.

Black Ops 7 offers an enjoyable experience in Zombies and online modes, but it might be the furthest from the series in terms of identity and gameplay style. Meanwhile, the modest campaign and its frustrating design choices were intended by the developer to be bold steps, yet ended up being unsuccessful and in some cases, outright poor. Overall, this installment is good, not bad, but it falls short of the expectations set by the game's promotional campaign.

Thick as Thieves feels like a promising idea that never fully materialized. With proper execution, it could have stood among the best in its genre, but its thin content and lack of polish leave it stuck as little more than a concept.

Lost Soul Aside feels like a smaller-scale game disguised and priced as a AAA title. While its gameplay is what will keep you hooked, it just fail at delivering at every other department with one of the weakest written dialogues to it’s comically bad voice acting.

The control scheme not only makes good use of the Joy-Cons mouse mode, but also helps to really bring you into the action, although some might find the controls tiring and not always precise.

Some creative and fun minigames presented as a visit to a science museum, counterbalanced by dull activities and a tedious progression blocker.

Code Violet was such a depressing experience, nothing works in this game and even when it does, it wasn’t even interesting to keep me going.

Island Getaway gives inZOI a warm tropical spirit and plenty of fun moments, though the world sometimes feels a bit empty. [Early Access Score = 80]

Reviewing a series that barely changes and doesn’t need to is still a task that requires a lot of time even if the results are predictable, which mirrors this entry in that while predictable and even the bare minimum is still a great and lengthy experience.
