Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

Latest Review

GameMAG Staff at GameMAG

Jan 31, 2026 | Score 60

“Everything good in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is inherited from its illustrious predecessors, while everything bad stems from futile attempts to tamper with the familiar gameplay formula in pursuit of vague, ill-defined trends. Thanks to its finely tuned optimization, the fourth entry may appeal to a less demanding audience, but the obvious lack of fresh ideas and the absence of a clear creative vision lead to a sobering conclusion: the greatness of Metroid Prime seems to have been left far behind in the past.”

It is a varied and comprehensive content pack that not only offers extra longevity, but also, and above all, a concept that is pleasantly different from that explored in the base game.

Jan 19, 2026 | Score 83

“HORSES is a deeply author-driven horror experience that uses the language of videogames to portray a world where violence does not appear as an exceptional event, but gradually integrates into everyday life. Through an essential structure, restrained narration, and a strongly symbolic staging, the game builds a subtle and persistent form of horror that works through habituation, impotence, and the growing difficulty of distancing oneself from an internalized system. The experience does not aim for immediate shock or spectacle, but for a constant sense of unease that moves through bodies, gestures, and spaces. HORSES observes violence from within, showing how it can become accepted, managed, and sustained over time through roles and routines, without the need for explicit justification. The result is an uncomfortable, coherent, and courageous work that rejects traditional entertainment in favor of a disturbing and self-aware reflection, one that leaves a lasting mark precisely because it avoids compromise.”

“Dragon Ruins II is a small game, clearly made with a limited budget and a different scope than traditional dungeon crawlers. Therefore, it would be unfair to judge it by the same standard. Within its premise of being a "dungeon crawler for tired people," it performs very well. For those who want to rest their minds with a bit of grinding and dungeon exploration, the game is a great choice. On the other hand, with its autobattler mechanics, it won't appeal to everyone and certainly isn't a game I would choose for my "main" gaming time, when I want something that demands a greater investment of time and attention.”

“I’d say the game made me question if I actually had Arachnophobia, as I wasn’t overly bothered by seeing them. But I will admit the lack of sound and jump scare does excellent to build up suspense. More so, when you can see one of the eight-legged buggers, just out of view. Some highlights for me when Huntsman shines, was the use of different spiders, I honestly thought I was going to only see one kind. Sad that there are a few tedious bugs here, and there, with one that caused my game to soft lock. For more details when heading to the loading dock, I returned to the security room to make a quick save. Only for it to weirdly repeat the opening segment with the player to kill time. This led to me not being able to leave the room no matter what I did. Luckily, a save I had wasn’t that far back. In the end, I would say the game still stands out, regardless of its current issues. I would suggest picking it up for a good creature scare. That is why I’m giving Huntsman the Thumb Culture Silver Award.”
