Lord of the Rings Conquest succeeds in bringing Tolkien's fans a solid videogame, with intense action and a good representation of battles. But there is a strong difference between playing it multiplayer and single player, less fun than the former. Solo players should think twice the purchase.- Vandal

Battle Train is a quirky, strategic roguelike that mixes explosive turn-based train combat with deck-building and a mock TV show presentation, offering addictive gameplay, clever mechanics, and lots of replayability, though some frustrating design choices around difficulty and pacing hold it back from reaching its full potential.- Vandal

A just correct remake, with a lot of room for improvement. It does fix some issues present in the original game and improves the textures, but still it feels far from other HD remakes. One way or another, it is indeed the best way to get involved with the beginning of the series.- Vandal

Although its business model doesn’t seem to be appealing for everyone, Trackmania is a fun racing game that now everyone can try thanks to the free version.

Code Vein 2 shines with its highly customizable combat and distinct identity, enhanced by strategic allies and unique time-travel mechanics.

Despite an engaging and flexible gameplay loop, its dungeon design remains inferior to genre leaders, and persistent technical issues detract from the overall experience.- Vandal

The console version of American Arcadia offers everything we enjoyed in the PC version that came out two years ago. In addition to boasting excellent technical performance, it maintains the freshness that was so successful in its day, with a perfect blend of narrative and gameplay. It's one of those indie games that gives the impression of coming from a studio that has carefully curated every element we gamers appreciate. Although the title isn't excessively long, it's impossible not to recommend it to those looking for a story that will keep you glued to the screen for a while. It will leave you wanting more.- Vandal

The best we can say about Death Rally for PC is that it is really addictive, and you can't stop running one race after another once started.
