    But what separates Hogwarts Legacy from others of its kind is being Hogwarts Legacy: the stunning recreation of the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the world around it. Walk through the lines we read. Entering the rooms that we could not see in the cinema seat. Hogwarts Legacy has its flaws, but when dreams come true they always do.

    Planetfall is a great 4X that shines because of its combat and strategy systems. If you like Age of Wonders or just the genre, make sure you check it out.

    This fighting game offers deep, satisfying combat with a fresh REV system adding strategic depth, and a diverse roster of distinct characters, although its mode selection feels limited and its story mode somewhat uninspired; nevertheless, it shines online with smooth netcode and impresses visually with a unique cel-shaded art style and strong animations.

    This is one of the best Marvel-based games ever made. It is true that might be quite similar to previous LEGO games, but still you’ll have loads of fun with it.

    LEGO Dimensions is the best toy-to-life game at the moment. The amount of franchises available and how enjoyable it is make it the new king of the genre.

    MIO: Memories in Orbit is a great Metroidvania, and above all, an absolutely beautiful video game. Navigating the ship, discovering its different locations, and finding their interconnections is as satisfying as the protagonist's movement and the level design. The striking resemblance to its inspirations (Hollow Knight and Ori), a somewhat uninspired bestiary, a certain lack of polish, and the absence of truly memorable moments don't detract from this challenging game that tests both skill and patience. However, the difficulty adjustments, while not making it a cakewalk, make it more manageable for those who, drawn in by its art style or its inclusion on Game Pass from launch, are simply looking for a beautiful and melancholic audiovisual and narrative experience that may not leave a lasting impression, but is enjoyable every step of the way—even when repeating a boss fight or platforming section for the twentieth time.

    Tom Clancy's Hawx is a very welcome game because of the current shortage of this kind of title and the good ideas it brings, which are implemented well, in a natural way, and in a few hours it would seem as if those "virtual ways" would have been part of the genre's gameplay since its birth.

    VOID Interactive delivers a highly realistic and brutal tactical police shooter with deep gameplay requiring careful planning and teamwork, which despite some visual compromises and a challenging learning curve on consoles, stands out uniquely in its genre. However, censorship applied for console release, including changes to violence and nudity, sparked controversy especially among PC players due to cross-platform consistency, although these adjustments do not reduce the game's intense and authentic atmosphere.

    Obsidian delivers an engaging RPG with a well-crafted world, impactful choices, and an enjoyable combat system that allows for fluid weapon and magic combinations. However, forced secondary missions, immersion-breaking elements, outdated design choices, and technical performance issues hold it back from excellence.

    Dokuro is a beautiful surprise, full of charm and puzzles. Behind its childish art there's an incredibly hard game, waiting for someone who is willing to take the challenge. If you're ready for a quite difficult platform/puzzle experience, go ahead.

    It's hard, slow and strategic, but if you like this, then you'll find what we think it is the best dungeon crawler for the 3DS.

    This sequel improves on the original with enhanced combat, expanded exploration, and a deeper progression system, including more weapons and a crafting mechanic. While the difficulty selector makes the game more accessible, it lacks groundbreaking innovations and could have been more ambitious.
