Dungeon Defenders successfully blends strategy, rol and customization with action. A recommended game which is hard and demanding when playing solo, and very fun in cooperative.- Vandal

This well-crafted collection offers a strong selection of classic Gradius and Salamander arcade titles enhanced with modern quality-of-life options and the excellent addition of Salamander III, though it feels incomplete without key entries like Gradius IV and Gaiden, preventing it from being the definitive anthology.- Vandal

Call of the Elder Gods is, ultimately, a solid sequel—bigger, more varied, more complex, and more ambitious than Call of the Sea. Its puzzles are superior and more elaborate, its world offers greater scope, and its graphics are beautiful. At the same time, that ambition comes at a cost: a less streamlined story that is, at times, overly convoluted. Furthermore, the difficulty level can prove to be a significant hurdle for those unaccustomed to such demanding puzzle adventures. Its hint system—implemented with good intentions—also presents a dangerous temptation in these times when our patience is increasingly thin. It is a remarkable title for puzzle enthusiasts, yet one that demands patience, keen observation, and a willingness to really rack your brain.- Vandal

We’ve been waiting for too long for a new antigravity racer, and Pacer delivers exactly what we wanted. Yes, it’s not the most original game, but the genre has been abandoned for so long that it’s great to have a new title like this one.- 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

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is, for now, a big yes. After a 'Modern Warfare 2' that was a step backwards and a 'Modern Warfare 3' that clearly had a DLC flavour, Treyarch is stepping strong with this heir to 'Black Ops Cold War', with a campaign rich in references and with very varied and attractive levels that knows how to give the player what they ask for. The multiplayer and the zombies are more than fine at launch, but in a few months the game will be a different story and will be very different with the additions and changes that are made, hopefully always for the better and not spoil anything.- Vandal

PARANORMASIGHT: The Mermaid's Curse delivers a captivating visual novel experience, boasting a magnificent art style, engrossing story, and charming characters. Its refined mechanics and engaging minigames offer a fresh take on the formula, although narrative pacing occasionally falters.
