Code Violet is a true survival horror for the brave ones who want to play it. Reaching the end credits will be a genuinely tough and demanding challenge for any player. However, the price you have to pay for such a dull, repetitive, and poorly polished game is a real horror in itself, one that angers anyone that decides to buy it. It’s astonishing that it’s just the beginning of January and we already have a strong contender for the worst game of the 2026.

I’m glad that Ubisoft listened to players feedback who were saying the series needed a bigger refresh than just an annual playlist update. The option to control the game using a smartphone camera and the new party mode are definitely interesting additions that makes the virtual dancing experience more varied. Still, it’s difficult to shake the feeling that the potential of these innovations wasn't fully realized. Just Dance 2026 is still a fine party game where everyone can have a great time, whether they can dance or not.

9 Years of Shadow is a very intriguing production with an excellent, old-school audiovisual style. However, it is definitely a title aimed at fans of metroidvanias, who should consider it a must-play. Other players may complain about the high difficulty level, formulaic structure, and repetitive gameplay. Nevertheless, the developers have delivered a technically solid and polished game that is undoubtedly worth attention. Play it if only for the soundtrack alone, which is truly outstanding.
