OPUS: Prism Peak suffers from an overabundance of ideas, losing its focus by trying to cram too many elements into its frame. While the unrefined puzzles and convoluted narrative can be overwhelming, it still offers a charming experience of embarking on a photography journey in an unfamiliar world. Players willing to endure its slow pace and clunky mechanics to deeply explore its lore will still find something worthwhile here.

The intent to lower the barrier to entry is clear, and improvements to competitive Pokémon preparation and in-battle information are noticeable. However, persistent frame drops, the lack of a replay feature, and an unstable Pokémon acquisition system leave this battle-focused platform feeling unfinished.

Possessor(s) boasts stunning visuals and a solid story, but its exploration—a core pillar of the Metroidvania genre—is severely undermined by critical flaws and frequent bugs. Ultimately, it's a game of 'all style over substance,' recommended for its characters and narrative rather than the joy of exploration.

An undercooked, janky action-RPG propped up only by Vampire: The Masquerade’s rich lore and TCR’s storytelling - a discounted curiosity for fans, a miss for most.

While the typical cleaning game centers on 'how' to provide satisfaction through diverse and intense mechanics, Undusted: Letters from the Past distinguishes itself by focusing on 'why.' The game delivers a compelling story and message by asking: out of countless old objects, what makes this particular one so vital to restore?

The concept was brilliant, and the gameplay was polished. But the game's second half, in its refusal to hold back, aggressively undermines everything that made it great. It's a shame such a lack of restraint ruined its potential.

Even with a new developer at the helm, Little Nightmares III proves to be a worthy successor that hasn't lost the series' signature appeal. The pivot to co-op gameplay and a noticeably different visual style mark a clear evolution, yet the foundation remains unshaken.

Mafia: Old Country delivers a richly cinematic narrative set in early 1900s Sicily, blending mafia intrigue with a tragic love story and stunning Unreal Engine 5 visuals. While its historical setting and film-like presentation are captivating, the gameplay remains linear and lacks depth, offering limited freedom and post-game content.

Putting aside the passionate performances from the cast and some notable concepts, the game's overall quality as a work of horror feels quite poor. Its ability to convey its message and atmosphere—the most vital element of popular art—is especially disappointing, overshadowing its few merits.

Artis Impact’s blend of pixel graphics and comic book-style cutscenes feels fresh and original, and the main character is quite appealing. While the humor can occasionally feel overdone and the combat a bit repetitive, the overall experience still has its charm.

It's unclear whether Destiny 2: Edge of Fate offers the meaningful changes the series needs. Many Guardians are growing weary of repetitive content.

All in Abyss: Judge the Fake features captivating characters drawn into the madness of gambling, with intense scenes that seem inspired by Danganronpa. However, the process of deducing opponents’ tricks can feel tedious, and issues with the game's core mechanics—the “poker battles”—ultimately result in a somewhat underwhelming experience.

Civilization 7 falls short in maintaining the series' legacy in certain aspects. The new mechanics didn't seamlessly integrate with the expectations of veteran players, and it often felt more akin to a character-driven RPG than a simulation game. Consequently, the game left a lasting impression of hollowness.
