Marathon is an interesting project from Bungie that has some merit, but so far it doesn’t feel like it’s living up to its full potential. It’s held back by limited content, a cluttered layout, poor navigation, and repetitive gameplay. That said, the game has a solid foundation in its shooting mechanics, movement, and the need for tactical decision-making during extractions.

Yet it offers a breathtaking open world with unmatched scale and depth. Its reception will vary widely—frustrating for some, but deeply rewarding for those willing to fully invest.

If you want to build and develop your settlement in peace or spice things up with some combat skirmishes, Going Medieval is great. Compared to other games of this type, there are fewer options and the technologies are less interesting, which may be due to the strict medieval setting, which tries to be realistic. However, mods can help with this.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered shows its age in places, with shallow combat, recycled environments, and some technical issues.

The improved visuals, better camera, and generous bonus materials make this the best way to revisit a classic.

While the remake updates visuals and expands content, clunky controls, outdated backtracking, and occasional design frustrations prevent it from fully capturing the original’s mastery.

1348: Ex Voto is an interesting game with a great atmosphere, but it has a lot of problems. Its strongest point is the gloomy mood of the medieval world, which draws the player into a plague-ridden environment. However, the title suffers from technical shortcomings, repetitive combat and an empty world.

Legendary director John Carpenter lent his name to this zombie-filled co-op action game, which is acceptable but doesn't quite measure up to the quality of the master's films.

There are many activities in the game that could have been better explained. The game is interesting, but also tedious.

Overall, Lost and Found Co. is a nice relaxing game with detailed and content-rich environments that builds on simple and accessible gameplay.

Many players probably don't expect much from a port simulator, but this game proved to be a pleasant surprise. The controls are intuitive and fun, and you won't get bored even after playing for hours. You will also notice your own improvement over time when handling containers and heavy machinery, which will draw you in for more hours of play. The only downside is that the game doesn't include multiplayer or co-op modes.

Reigns: The Witcher is a fun and addictive mix of The Witcher’s dark fantasy and the simple, swipe-based Reigns mechanics. It doesn’t stray far from the series formula, so longtime fans will feel right at home. Quick decisions can lead to life, death, or chaos, and while the gameplay can feel repetitive at times, the variety of characters and outcomes keeps it engaging. Perfect for short sessions on mobile, though not particularly innovative.

God of War: Sons of Sparta is a competent 2D metroidvania that expands Kratos’ past with solid combat, familiar voices, and a decent amount of content. However, generic level design, forgettable bosses, heavy backtracking, and a lack of standout moments prevent it from feeling worthy of the franchise’s legacy. Functional, but surprisingly uninspired.

This collection is the best way to experience the original Rayman, offering multiple versions with modern enhancements and a wealth of archival content for longtime fans.

A polished and highly enjoyable iteration rather than a bold reinvention.
