Gundam Breaker 4 is likely a dream come true for any fan of the franchise. The ability to customize your Gunpla down to the smallest detail makes this game ideal for long-time collectors of models from the series who can’t wait to experiment with the endless parts available. However, the game is not without its flaws, which are hard to overlook, even for die-hard fans. For instance, while the combat is enjoyable due to the variety of builds you can create, it feels underdeveloped in several areas. Additionally, most missions follow a similar structure, leading to a sense of repetition early on. The story is nothing remarkable, though younger players might find it appealing. On the other hand, the multiplayer component could be a significant plus if you’re able to find a well-coordinated team to play with.

Inspired by the classics from FromSoftware, Enotria stands out for its deep connection to Italian folklore, celebrating the natural wonders of our land and its rich cultural, theatrical, and musical traditions.

NBA 2K25 remains a great game for basketball enthusiasts and makes strides compared to its predecessor, but it doesn’t hide the fact that it knows it can rest comfortably on its throne, especially since no one is even trying to challenge it.

We certainly didn’t expect Squirrel with a Gun to be a high-quality masterpiece, but after playing it, we found some of its ideas so clever and fun that they left us with a bit of regret about the overall final result. It’s a project with a high level of nonsense, but it also genuinely shows how much the developers must have enjoyed themselves during its design and release. Enhanced by numerous unlockables and collectibles, the game is wild, delirious, and technically rough (at times unforgivably and frustratingly so). Yet, it’s this blend of mismatched characteristics that, at least partially, gives it a reason to exist in the market.

Capcom is doing an excellent job with its collections dedicated to classic fighting games, and this Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is another gem that brings together seven titles that have made history in the genre. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 alone is a must-play for all enthusiasts, but all the other games included are also very interesting, especially because they show how the tag team formula introduced in Capcom games has evolved over time. Lastly, the inclusion of an online multiplayer mode with rollback netcode and many other options makes these old fighting games more accessible to a younger audience.

The Last Alchemist is a simulation game that takes place in a charming fantasy setting with cute creatures and talking mushrooms. The game swings between crafting stages and exploration, providing an overall pleasant experience with an interesting storyline as well as occasionally overly challenging gameplay.

Astro Bot is a gem, a game crafted with heart that manages to unite tradition and innovation. Despite its "small" size, the latest title from Team Asobi delivers an extraordinary experience thanks to the power of the PS5 and the clever use of the DualSense.

My Steam library is full of Warhammer 40,000-themed titles; very few are passable, a handful are good games, and the circle of excellent ones is very small. Space Marine 2 now joins as well—and it is a feast for the eyes and a faithful reproduction of the universe created by Games Workshop, a dream come true for those who grew up with this saga. The gameplay is a refined version of that third-person shooter and action mix we already appreciated in the first chapter, with a combat system that is much more technical and complex compared to its predecessor. It’s not a perfect game, mainly due to a lackluster AI and overly chaotic moments, with messy situations that lead the player to inevitable button mashing, but it’s the best video game adaptation of Games Workshop’s grimdark universe.

Concord is an immense waste of resources (and it's not even a free-to-play), a project that also runs the risk of not being able to recover in the long run.

Deadlink is a refreshing and intoxicating roguelite fps that we cannot avoid recommending. It's fast paced, the shooting is good, the upgrade system is clever and the quantity of content is not an issue. We only wish it was more various in its map layout and enemy types, but there's a lot to love here for fps fans.

Age of Mythology: Retold is the perfect blend of past and present. The development teams wisely chose not to overhaul the foundations of one of the best RTS games ever made, focusing instead on fine-tuning and making significant improvements to the gameplay, which is now much smoother and more modern. Alongside these enhancements, the game boasts excellent graphics and a much more functional and intuitive user interface. The only aspect that ties Age of Mythology: Retold to its original era is the tone of the various campaigns, with a style of writing that may no longer appeal to today’s players.

Emio - The Smiling Man looks like it came out from the '80s, thanks to gameplay mechanics unbelievably dated that hold up its true potential.

Visions of Mana aims to bring players back to a classic RPG experience reminiscent of the 1990s. Accepting these conditions, you'll still find a pleasant, colorful action RPG that can entertain you for a good number of hours—nothing more, nothing less.

Monster Jam Showdown is a highly entertaining and accessible title. The arcade-style driving system appeals to a wide audience without sacrificing fun or content—there are plenty of game modes and a good variety of trucks and customization options. Milestone's offering is enjoyable, convincing, and fun.

Star Wars Outlaws should have been a smaller game, without the open world requirement at all costs. It falls into the usual mistakes of previous Ubisoft games, while it gives its best in the main missions, which are well structured and able to meet the favor of fans of the saga.

Black Myth: Wukong captures attention with its impressive graphics and the allure of Chinese mythology, but despite the visual experience and a promising combat system, the game suffers from several issues that prevent it from excelling.

Cat Quest III is a simple and fun pirate adventure that takes us into a universe full of adorable kittens, nasty "pi-rats," and many more incredibly charming creatures! With a small game world full of islands and caves to explore and a cast of delightfully well-developed characters, The Gentlebros' creation once again manages to entertain and engage, thanks to its straightforward gameplay that never gets boring.

Dustborn is an adventure game that offers a mix of genres, catering to a wide range of tastes. It seamlessly transitions from exploration phases in the style of classic graphic adventures with environmental puzzles, to more action-packed moments, and even includes many musical mini-games. The game features a cast of finely crafted characters that are impossible not to grow attached to. At the same time, it presents a wide variety of uniquely beautiful settings, all enhanced by the splendid comic book art style that defines the entire adventure.

TMNT: Splintered Fate looks and feels like a mobile games with lots of structural limitations and a bit of forced tracking during the fights.

CYGNI may not be the new "benchmark in shoot 'em ups", but it's still a fun game with a great passion for a genre that has almost become a niche one.

Tomba! Special Edition is first and foremost a preservation operation. It is a definitive edition of a classic PlayStation game with some extra and some quality of life improvements.

Even without the novelty factor of the first game, Steamworld Heist II is a competent and very funny turn-based strategy game that will appeal both to newcomers and veterans alike thanks to its extended difficulty settings and wealth of content.

Thalassa: Edge of the Abyss is a walking simulator with a compelling story, but it feels and looks like a game from at least ten years ago.

Été is a video game that is good for you—literally. Its concept, which involves bringing colors to the world you explore to define it, similar to Chicory, gradually reveals new adventures and allows you to create your home with satisfaction. This idea works quite well and gets you into the loop of “I’ll do one more thing and then stop for today,” but you end up never stopping. While it’s true that some missions can be a bit confusing and the dialogues sometimes feel out of place with the game’s atmosphere, Été still manages to leverage interaction to offer a captivating mix of pure fun and virtual drawing. It stands out as one of the ideal games to unwind with during the summer, aptly reflecting the season it’s named after.

The Star Named EOS is a cozy game with a relaxing atmosphere, hand-drawn art style, and evocative soundtrack. The story unfolds through environmental exploration, and the gameplay is not particularly challenging, promoting a state of engagement and optimal flow. It has the potential to be moving and impactful, featuring twists and unexpected moments that we don’t want to spoil: the experience should be entirely your own, as it is definitely worth experiencing firsthand.

Nobody Wants to Die is just a pot-pourri of themes and scenes already read in old books, seen at the cinema and played in many other modern games.

This final review of Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn has been a roller coaster of conflicting feelings. The end result is of decent quality, despite various structural limitations, and it manages to shape a balanced experience with a substantial amount of content. While it certainly doesn’t stand out in terms of character or personality, and numerous narrative questions remain unanswered, the accessible and somewhat enjoyable gameplay compensates for these shortcomings just enough. However, it does leave a bit of a bitter aftertaste.

F1 Manger 2024 has finally managed to include the much-loved custom career. This raises the bar of the competition and presents us with a game with solid foundations, but also capable of renewing itself. A fun, competitive title that tests us in many different situations. Overall, therefore, a very respectable manager this year too.
