“2XKO is a mature fighting game, approachable on the surface yet deep at its core, with solid online infrastructure and a clear competitive focus. It's not perfect, but as Riot Games' debut in the genre, it doesn't disappoint.”

“Quarantine Zone: The Last Check stands out for its concept and emotional impact, making the player feel the weight of deciding others' fate. Weaker in variety, narrative, and technical polish, it lingers more for its discomfort than its game design.”

“Sleep Awake is a visionary psychological horror, strong in atmosphere and aesthetics but less impactful in gameplay. A short, flawed yet memorable experience for fans of auteur-driven walking simulators.”

“An ambitious, imperfect game, offering one of the richest free-to-play worlds for players who enjoy depth and experimentation.”

“Midnight Murder Club impresses with its atmosphere and original ideas like the Wild Cards, but it suffers from lack of content and variety. Perfect with friends, less engaging when played alone.”

“If you love slow, atmospheric, cryptic, and introspective horror, and you're not afraid of getting lost in corridors that seem to go on forever, Luto is an experience worth trying.”

“The graphics are marginally improved, but the new Horde Assault mode breathes new life into an open world that, despite some repetitiveness, maintains its post-apocalyptic charm intact.”

“Don't Nod returns to its roots with a story split between past and present that shines in character development and atmosphere, but suffers from dilated pacing and a rushed resolution to the central mystery.”

“Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is a 2D metroidvania that does a bit of everything well but struggles to excite.”

“Skydance's Behemoth impresses with its massive giants and ambitious ideas but struggles to maintain consistent excellence. Repetitive gameplay and graphical compromises hold it back, yet it remains a solid VR experience, especially for those seeking epic battles and a dark atmosphere.”

“Despite some uncertainties in balancing investigation and life-sim elements and the excessive backtracking, On Your Tail offers a captivating setting, a wealth of secondary activities, and uncommon longevity.”

“Mouthwashing is a short but intense experience, with original storytelling, a haunting atmosphere, and some gameplay limitations that don't overshadow a title that stands out in the indie scene.”

“It has not aged impeccably and does not instill fear and tension as it did 29 years ago. However, in this new, rich edition, Rewind Clock Tower is still an enjoyable survival horror, original in its own way and widely replayable.”

“LEGO Horizon Adventures entertains thanks to its ironic mix of Horizon lore, LEGO narrative, and visual style. Technical limitations and repetitiveness penalize it, but in co-op, it definitely becomes more enjoyable.”

“Batman: Arkham Shadow is a great VR experience for Batman fans, featuring engaging gameplay and a well-crafted story. Despite bugs and frame-rate drops, it remains a must-have title on Meta Quest 3.”

“Had it lasted 4-5 hours and offered more variety in locations and gameplay, Metro Awakening could have been a solid FPS-survival experience in VR. As it stands, though, it risks becoming tedious well before reaching the end.”

“If the game itself has lost some freshness and relevance compared to today's open-worlds, Nixxes and Gueriilla Games' graphic operation fully hits the mark.”

“Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a more than decent return for BioWare's fantasy series, thanks mainly to a compelling storyline and a good combat system. However, the graphic compartment, the lack of RPG depth, and very repetitive gameplay gimmicks contribute to lowering the final rating.”

“Shadows of Doubt is not an investigative experience I would recommend to everyone. Still, if you love gritty, procedural, and remarkably free games in their approach, you can't miss it.”

“A charming tribute to Studio Ghibli, Europa captivates with its melancholic atmosphere and beautiful scenery. A contemplative and relaxing experience, perfect for those seeking a poetic and reflective journey.”
