Tales of Xillia is something of a classic, a game that for a long time wasn’t available on modern systems. To truly play it, you either needed access to a fairly old console or had to rely on less official methods.

This remaster is done quite well, and even though some aspects of the game haven’t aged particularly gracefully, it’s still well worth the time for many players today.

Chaotic, fast, and furious are three words that perfectly describe Kirby Air Riders. What we have here is a racing game that’s anything but standard—one that breaks many of the conventions we’ve come to know and love about this long-standing genre. Fortunately, for the vast majority of the time, this game’s differences compared to its competitors in the genre manage to spark genuine interest and plenty of enjoyment. Make no mistake—this is still quite a niche title that definitely won’t appeal to everyone, but for those who choose to dive into its madness and chaos, a uniquely engaging and deeply satisfying experience awaits.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond isn't the best Metroid game around, it has a lot of issues, mostly coming from weird design choices that impact badly on the whole expereicne, but where these choices don't exist? It's a treat.

Is SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide going to be someone's GOTY? No. Could it be the most fun game someone played this year? There's a high chance.

Where Winds Meet is an ambitious and impressive project with the potential to become a standout title in the coming years. It combines a stunning world, deep combat, nearly endless customization, and refreshing innovations in NPC interaction. While the game demands a significant investment of time and patience, it rewards players with a uniquely immersive experience and a rare opportunity to walk the path of legendary sword heroes from ancient China. In an industry of RPGs that often feel generic and try to please everyone, this game is a bold statement that a true role-playing experience is rooted in the freedom to shape your world as you see fit, treating its MMO aspects as a feature, not a genre.

Anno 117 has quite a few systems that are forgettable at best or need significant improvement, but on the other hand, it does way more things well and brings a new and refreshing spirit to the RTS genre. But above all, it is a great City Builder that stands up to the biggest challenge trapping the player into the "one last thing" loop.

Fans of the Extraction Shooter genre, rejoice - there's a new king in the neighborhood, and his name is ARC Raiders, and it earns this title thanks to an addictive gameplay loop, quality sound design, along with impressive graphics and excellent performance.

I will very freely tell you how much this port is not as fantastic as this game is, the decision to release this port as soon as possible could potentially hurt what is otherwise a fantastic JRPG game and unless the Switch 2 is your only console of choice, I'd play this game elsewhere or wait for future updates.

Atelier Resleriana is a nice commemoration for the 25th anniversary of the series, it is however a bit of a step back from what Yumia had to offer, it is not bad, but it puts the future of the series in question.

The best way to describe the new Battlefield 6 is to say: wow. The weapons feel great, the maps look great, the sound draws you in, and despite a forgettable campaign, the multiplayer modes, both classic and new, and the player-created game modes in Portal, are what really matter. If you're still on the fence about the new game in the series, let me say: now is your time to run and play. See you on the battlefield.

Pokemon Legends Z-A is one of the most disappointing Pokemon games i have ever played. Besides the wide variety of creatures to catch, some QoL changes and the Mega Evolutions - there's not much else to find enjoyable in this experience.

Silent Hill f will probably be one of the more divisive Silent Hill titles, but it is a good game for people who are interested in the series to get a good taste of it and maybe get into the fog with us, especially before the remake for Silent Hill comes out.

The year is 2025 and I get to say we're blessed to play Silksong right now after the long wait, it is very well made, looks amazing, plays well, and even if I didn't lose any rage playing it (yet), it is definitely far more challenging than it's predecessor.
