    Even after a year, the PS5 version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is also frustrating. Perhaps the studio should have postponed the game by another two years to refine it. Despite the deep survival system, realistic shooting, and the beautiful atmosphere of its world, the technical issues, poor performance, and strange design decisions make the experience more frustrating than enjoyable, and the game fails to deliver on what the developers had promised.

    Dying Light: The Beast is an enjoyable game for fans of combat and parkour, featuring an open world full of details and intense, gory moments, especially when using the Beast power. However, technical issues, inconsistent AI, repetitive missions, and an unstable save system reduce the fun of exploration and can make the experience frustrating at times. Despite this, fans of the series and violent gameplay will still find plenty of exciting moments.

    Assassin's Creed Mirage recreates the city of peace wonderfully in terms of architecture, visuals, and audio presentation. Though storytelling isn't free of Orientalism and its stereotypes guilt. However, its the gameplay where Mirage falters in our opinion, as the AI is weak and swordplay is mediocre. The whole game loop is repetitive overall.

    LEGO 2K Drive has an unexpectedly beautiful world, short challenges, and many collectibles that encourage exploration with memorable races and great content. However, weapons need better implementation, and side activities could've been designed to suit the gameplay better, not to mention the push for microtransactions to buy new vehicles.

    The focus went to combat which is fun and refreshing but enemies aren't varied enough for it to carry the whole game. There are many weak points in Forspoken... be it the mediocre side-content, or the repetition, or how unimpressive the game looks, etc. Storytelling disappoints too. Sure the game is ambitious, but the end result is far from being satisfying. Still, combat-focused lovers may find something to like here.

    The Callisto Protocol's Production value is impressive and its among the best looking games we've ever seen (the characters are life-like), but its a shame that its combat doesn't work very well when you face multiple enemies. Also, we would've liked them to be more varied.

    Sonic Frontiers timidly presented some good ideas with its open world but the execution is ultimately lacking; it recycled many of its past installments mistakes. The game feels repetitive, and it isn't polished enough like we hoped, and the story is also weak and uninspiring.
