“A large part of the strength that makes Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Definitive Edition unique comes from the foundational elements of the original game — which is by no means a drawback for the newer version. However, I believe there was a missed opportunity to elevate the classic to a technical level worthy of a 2025 title, without necessarily losing its identity. In the end, the project fails to innovate in key areas, but succeeds in presenting a great game to a new audience.”

“Wildgate stands out from the herd of live service games by offering gameplay inspired by various multiplayer classics, adding a layer of personality and originality. The gameplay loop is fun and addictive, but over time, it will need more content to maintain that sense of freshness.”

“Look Outside is one of the most interesting projects I've played in 2025 so far, and I believe it will find a legion of fans over time. With the surprise release, a good portion of the public will still have a way to go to get to the game, but the project is so solid, different, creative, and thought-provoking that I doubt word of mouth won't have its effect. I really had a scary, impactful, and fun time playing this title, and I hope it won't be long before we see more from Francis Coulombe, a name to keep an eye on in the coming years.”

“Moving someone's soul with such a simple work is a feat that only great artists are able to accomplish, and I believe Gools has a brilliant road ahead.”

“With the help of fans and a laudable work and dedication, Dumativa's developers alongside Cellbit managed to create not only a game that does justice to Ordem Paranormal's Universe, but also does it as a big project in the Brazilian industry.”

“Sumerian Six has some specific problems, but it is far from being a flawed project. The choice of locations and themes is very engaging and there is nothing better than having Nazis to be destroyed during the adventure. The lack of enemy diversity could be a problem, but for me, the more Nazis killed, the better. The combination of tactical combat with stealth elements reminiscent of the beloved Shadow Tactics is a great gameplay choice, and the direction that Artificer chose to make the player's life more difficult as their powers increase is the icing on the cake for a challenging and fun experience.”

“Dead Island 2: Haus fulfills the function of expanding the bizarre universe created by Dambuster well, however, its biggest sin is presenting so little, considering the size of the potential, both narratively and in mechanics. Almost nothing in Haus really stands out as a big new feature beyond the base game. Its story is interesting and maintains the acid tone of comedy and criticism, adding areas with more terrifying and dark visuals, but little aligns with the expectations created with the end of the campaign.”

“Killer Frequency mixes elements that are beloved in pop culture, such as the 1980s aesthetic, signature songs, masked killers, investigative plot and heavy humor. All elements come together to transform a simple indie into one of my best video game experiences of the year. For fans of slasher horror movies or investigative works like those of Agatha Christie, this title is a door to paradise.”

“Friends vs Friends is the ideal option for anyone who loves a good indie and loves to exchange fire with friends. As the name implies, teaming up friends against friends has never been so much fun. Expect a fun and compact experience, without many surprises, but with a lot of visual identity and very creative ideas on how you can overcome your friends with card abilities or your aiming skill.”
