Let It Die: Inferno stands out with its unique aesthetic, reaching the peak of kitsch style. The mix of extraction shooter and roguelite elements shows great promise, but the game is held back by its notably slow, heavy controls and an unpolished system.- This Is Game

Dispatch is a humanistic drama about overcoming one's limits, wrapped in a superhero format. It excels in balancing mass appeal with depth—hooking players with attractive characters and events, while delivering a consistent message through sophisticated plotting and mature dialogue.- This Is Game

My Little Puppy delivers a deeply moving journey of a Welsh Corgi searching for its owner, capturing canine behaviors with joyful precision. While some world-building and the execution of its climax are minor blemishes, they fail to undermine the core theme of the human-animal bond. It's a definitive 'puppy game' that all dog lovers should play, perfectly balancing fun and heartfelt emotion.- This Is Game

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.- This Is Game

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment successfully delivers the fun of a Musou game with its exhilarating action, but it holds an unfortunate irony: the experience is actually diminished for those who already know the main narrative of Tears of the Kingdom. Ultimately, it fails to deliver the moving or comforting story that fans were anticipating, leaving a sense of disappointment.- This Is Game

Anno 117: Pax Romana marks a triumphant return for Ubisoft’s long-running city-builder franchise, taking players to the era of Roman peace while blending familiar mechanics with fresh political and cultural systems. Its deep management, faith and research layers, and elegant logistics make it one of the most refined entries in the series—proof that Rome, and the Anno series, were not built in a day.- This Is Game

Embark Studios' ARC Raiders is a successful title that dramatically lowers the barrier to entry for the extraction genre with its third-person perspective and intuitive systems. Clever safety nets like 'Scrappy' and the 'Free Loadout' reduce the burden of failure and encourage repeat play, while the developer's expertise shines through in its 'devilish details,' elevating the game's quality to the highest level. While it has minor quality-of-life issues, its low barrier to entry and high quality make it a highly recommended game for both genre newcomers and players experiencing PvP fatigue.- This Is Game

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.- This Is Game

Battlefield 6 is a 'well-made' FPS that leaves its controversial predecessors behind by returning to the fundamentals. However, the series' signature strategic depth, born from forming frontlines through teamwork and objective control, has been traded for an arcade-shooter feel that emphasizes individual skill. While the intuitive combat is undeniably fun, for long-time fans, this creates a fundamental sense of alienation, leaving the impression of a 'different game' that has lost its core identity.- This Is Game

Despite some disappointments, the total experience was, in the end, simply 'fun'. Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a game where the charm of its unique cast will be remembered just as deeply as its real-time battles and Mega Evolutions.- This Is Game

BALL x PIT is an excellent indie game that elevates the primal satisfaction of brick-breaking by adding a core fun factor: 'combination'. Built on the familiar framework of a Vampire Survivors-like, its unique system of combining balls and characters—along with a highly addictive loop connecting the action to base-building—creates a deeply immersive experience.- This Is Game

The Outer Worlds 2 is the perfect game for players who want to traverse a broken world with a humorous vibe, engaging with strange people and bizarre events. If you enjoyed the first game, there's no question you'll love this one. And even if you were lukewarm on the original, this experience is guaranteed to be a significant improvement.- This Is Game

Once Upon a Katamari successfully preserves the essential fun of rolling a ball and sticking everything to it, while also adding a delightful new layer by having players travel through various time periods. As the first new Katamari series title in 14 years, it serves as a welcome gift for long-time fans.- This Is Game

Ninja Gaiden 4 inherits and evolves the series' identity by blending PlatinumGames' fresh approach with Team Ninja's familiar style. However, it carries the double-edged sword risk of feeling disjointed.- This Is Game

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?- This Is Game

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.- This Is Game

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. The horror—stemming from a bleak, bizarre atmosphere and truly loathsome enemies—perfectly recaptures that classic 'Little Nightmares' feeling, as if to give a knowing smirk to the wave of similar games that have appeared since the series' rise to fame.- This Is Game

Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is a unique game that blends SRPG gameplay with roguelike elements. Although it's built on a solid SRPG core and adds roguelike-style progression, the two genres regrettably fail to synergize well.- This Is Game

With its despairing yet fascinating world, gorgeous art style, and slick dialogue, there are few reasons not to dive into the wonderful indie game, No, I'm not a Human. It falls just shy of perfection; had it offered a more robust system for multiple playthroughs and greater save convenience, it would have been flawless.- This Is Game

Silksong felt like a potent spirit, distilled from the souls of moths who love to dive into death. Its color and aroma are beautiful and alluring, but it's a hard liquor you can't recommend to just anyone. It would have been impeccable if, on that fine line of taste and temperament, the game had distinguished its audience solely through lucid design rather than frustrating design. As it stands, however, it seems Silksong has fallen short.- This Is Game

Super Robot Wars Y is by no means a perfect game. It carries clear shortcomings such as reused animations and crude UI. However, this game deserves credit for clearly presenting the direction the series should move forward. The development team accurately understood what both longtime fans and newcomers wanted, and chose the wise strategy of 'selective focus and concentration.- This Is Game
