A very fresh option, which is even better taking into account there are not too many games like this in the current market. Yes, it's not perfect, but we'll find so much action, and so many spectacular battles that we'll quickly forget about those minor issues.- Vandal

Mytran Wars doesn't stand out for its originality, but with no doubt it's a remarkable strategy game with an interesting number of gameplay options and a more than good technical part. Moreover, event the most demanding strategy fan will like its huge extension, tight difficulty and juicy multiplayer mode.- Vandal

Ultros ingeniously blends roguelike and metroidvania elements, offering a unique progression system centered around cycles. While its combat falls short of being memorable, the game shines with its innovative mechanics, visually stunning design, and around 11 hours of engaging gameplay, making it a must-try for fans of the genre.- Vandal

Days Gone is a very enjoyable game, with a beautiful setting, some interesting ideas and a good story, but Bend Studio has bitten off more than it could chew, and it shows. It takes too many things from open-world adventures, and the execution doesn’t always live up to the expectations. Overall, it’s entertaining and solid, but a less ambitious project would’ve end up being better.- Vandal

Gathering Storm offers an interesting take on the formula, with less focus on the martial side of the civilizations, maybe to make easier to reach the modern eras. It is, overall, a very good expansion that brings more Civilization and gives it its own flavor.- Vandal

The game offers engaging space battles with complex formations and strategic depth, yet suffers from a predictable narrative, unimpressive cinematics, and reactive AI.

The game expands on its predecessor with more structured gameplay through a career mode and diverse activities like photography tours and aerial challenges.

A wild and unclassifiable adventure, this game combines rhythm, puzzles, and cooperative action to constantly surprise with new ideas and a spectacular soundtrack, offering highly varied stages that are particularly enjoyable in cooperative mode; however, some mechanics or their combination may not be entirely convincing, and playing solo can be frustrating, made a bit worse by the inability to skip conversations when replaying stages.- Vandal

FEAR 2: Project Origin leaves us quite an uneven sensation. On one hand it has offered us truly spectacular and full of tension moments, very different from the ones which other games in the genre offer. Moreover, its carefully made atmosphere, fueled by the solid graphics engine developed by Monolith, make the immersion sensation total. The problem is that although FEAR 2 knows what makes itself stand out from the other shooters, it insists on offering quite generic moments during most of the game, and, worse indeed, it's not quite polished.- Vandal
