    Mafia: TOC is a great game that gets dragged down by bad performance and lack of details in its impressive world.

    If you never played the original, my advice is to try it out before buying the upgraded version, because most likely that the base content here will be more than enough.

    Wuchang Fallen Feathers would be a fantastic Souls-like with insanely fun mechanics that are innovative, but it is all buried under performance issues that hurt the experience.

    There's a lot to love in this expandalone, with many hours of fun shootouts, crime solving and cheesy one-liners

    NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound is a welcome and very flattering addition to the brand's world of content, providing us with a reminder of how 2D platform games are one of the best game styles in the industry as long as they're done right. The game, while relatively short, is full of great challenges, maddening combat, and a satisfying arsenal of abilities, all while providing us with a very cute storyline and a wealth of things to discover and collect.

    Donkey Kong Bananza is without a doubt the true launch game for the Nintendo Switch 2. It's a very fun and super satisfying game that will give you many hours of endless enjoyment featuring excellent destruction mechanics, a cute storyline and huge amounts of things to collect. At the same time, it's not a perfect execution, being hurt mainly by a lack of polish when it comes to performance and annoying camera issues alongside a distinct sense of lack of challenge, a collection of negative features that manages to somewhat cloud the overall experience.

    Shadow Labyrinth is a celebration of the beloved Namco yellow ball brand, however it feels like a wasted concept with lacking visuals and a lacking story. This game has the potential to be a cool action game with interesting designs, but it needs more.

    Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Is a love letter to every single person who loved the first game. It dives deep into this unique and stunning world with all its weirdness, with an amazing story, meaningful gameplay changes and lovable characters.

    Street Fighter 6 won't dethrone Super Smash Bros Ultimate as the best fighting game on the console, but it is a very solid port that is worth it for every Street Fighter fan who's main console is the Switch 2.

    Dune: Awakening initially felt like generic survival fare but surprised with its authentic recreation of Herbert's universe in an alternate timeline where Paul Atreides never existed. The game excels at polishing familiar survival-crafting mechanics within the rich Dune lore, featuring dynamic world changes, player politics, and meaningful resource scarcity where water truly matters. While hampered by restrictive inventory management and limited progression for non-PvP players, it succeeds as an immersive licensed experience rather than a genre innovator.

    This port is really well made and runs super well on all devices I tried it on including the Steam Deck, with a nice properties screenm with DLSS 4 support, tho lacking FSR 4 and still using FSR 3. With all the dlcs included, this is the best way to experience Stellar Blade.

    Chaotic, crazy, and unbridled is the main description I can tell to those who ask what I briefly think of Mario Kart World - it is a great and very fun racing game that includes a huge amount of tracks, characters, vehicles, and crazy driving abilities that come together into one world full of pure pleasure, all while offering impressive graphics, a quality soundtrack, and buttery smooth performance.

    Elden Ring: Nightreign is a fascinating, albeit uneven, experiment. While its fast-paced, pure gameplay moments are some of FromSoftware's best, these highs are often undercut by puzzling decisions, including an overly random progression system and the baffling omission of multiplayer. Despite offering an addictive and challenging twist on the familiar formula, impressively translating the atmosphere and world of Elden Ring into a new format, the unpolished roguelike elements and lack of a multiplayer support prevent it from reaching the heights of its predecessor. Ultimately, it's a must-play for dedicated fans seeking a new and distinct challenge, yet it might not be the ideal entry point for newcomers to the Lands Between.

    RoadCraft has ultimately proven to be one of the standout titles of this year. It offers a unique gameplay experience centered around operating heavy machinery in post-disaster recovery missions, with unmatched freedom and attention to detail. The vast open maps, logistical puzzle elements, and over 40 different vehicles create an engaging sandbox for creative problem-solving.

    This is the last review for the Nintendo Switch! And the console is going out (sort of) with a bang with one of the best RPGs from the Wii U era, with some really great QoL improvement but the same old beloved game.

    Is Atomfall a game worth trying? If you like games that don't hold your hand - absolutely, but if you have a hard time with shaky combat systems and lacking character development it's important to remember that Atomfall unfortunately fails to rise to the occasion here.

    Revenge of the Savage Planet is an exploration-first game that rewards very little in terms of actual exploration. With barebones systems and a lot of busy work, i just can't recommend it.

    Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is a game that checks all the boxes for me in a game of its style and is currently my game of the year, it has an engaging battle system that I enjoy, its world setting is interesting, the cast of characters and the story are interesting, and I don't wish for it to even end.

    DOOM: The Dark Ages is a worthy and particularly enjoyable continuation of the beloved brand's renewed series, thanks to fun and challenging battles that are filled with satisfying mechanics.

    Days Gone Remastered delivers exactly what a remaster should: For newcomers, it’s the best way to experience Deacon’s rugged journey through a rich, freaker‑infested world, complete with a gripping story and a refreshingly rough-around-the-edges protagonist. For returning players, however, the modest visual tweaks and bonus modes don’t add enough novelty to warrant a full replay unless you’ve been away from the game for years.

    RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an ambitious spin-off that brings the charm of RuneScape to the survival genre, set in the dragon-filled, mysterious continent of Ashenfall. In early access, it offers a compelling foundation with familiar skill systems, creative base-building, and innovative magic mechanics, but stumbles with a thin story, optimization issues, and clunky inventory management. [Early Access Score = 75]

    AI Limit is a cool Souls Like anime experience, not one that is very unique, but if you like games like Code Vein, this one might just land in a comfortable spot for you.

    Wanderstop joins the Hall of Fame of games like Spiritfarer, Disco Elysium, Unpacking, and many more as one of the best content games we've received in recent years, and the experience you'll get throughout it borders on a must-have for those of you looking for a slightly different and emotionally deep experience from your PC games.

    Fatal Fury City of the Wolves is the needed return of one of the most beloved IPs in the fighting games genre, together with revamped gameplay elements and updated designs. with those the netcode is not perfect and I hope this gets addressed sooner than later, cause this game is good, but it could be perfect, and I want more people to get into it!

    Karma the Dark World is a fantastic horror game that is only held back by a slow ending, with that, it has a fantastic plot which I can only hope to see it continued in another game.

    Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a good spin off game, even if it is fairly negligible, if you want a fun Pirate experience, you may want to give this game a shot.

    The First Berserker: Khazan is a great game for fans of the Souls-like genre, especially those who enjoyed the Nioh series. The combat is fun and challenging, the progression systems are deep and satisfying, and the art design is impressive. But I honestly don't think it's for anyone who isn't a Souls fan.

    Atelier Yumia is a fantastic renovation to an aging series of jrpg games that needed an update, what didn't get an update tho, it seems, is the engine, which at times looks not amazing and the open world tends to not work properly and slows the frames to a crawl.

    Sony's ports are back with a port that officially brings the entire The Last of Us series to PC, and it's hard to say it's not an exciting . The PC version of The Last of Us Part II is as much a celebration for fans of the brand as it is for those of us who are going to try this masterpiece for the first time, and it's therefore very difficult not to recommend it to anyone who wants to experience its journey.

    South of Midnight is an amazing experience - wrapped in a fairly basic and reasonable game. With an equally amazing art line that creates an immersive experience, which gets stuck here and there on the rocks along the way. The game's boring gameplay first and foremost does not respect the rest of its elements, and prevents it from being a smooth ride - even if it does not completely prevent the overall experience from being unforgettable.
