Latest: LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight

Chicas GamersMay 25, 2026Score 84

“LEGO Batman: El Legado del Caballero Oscuro is the best LEGO video game to date. The evolution of its combat and puzzle-solving mechanics, along with a more than substantial improvement to its open world, make this a title that truly transcends the classic formula we have experienced so far. TT Games has done a stellar job of turning this brick-built world into a universe with its own distinct personality.”

“LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is everything a Batman fan would want. It honours the character, his rogue gallery, allies, and world with success. Whatever your favourite iteration of the Caped Crusader is, you can play as them. As a LEGO game, it is easily the most advanced and impressive we've seen yet. I haven't had this much fun with a LEGO game in a long, long time, and here I am, over the moon, elated by how coherent and fleshed-out Legacy of the Dark Knight is.”

Latest: Stonemachia

UagnaMay 25, 2026Score 75Pre-release Review

“Stonemachia transports us to a distorted version of Milan, a fantasy world inspired by Italian architecture and the world of chess. Crossfall Games’ concept is highly original, even as it builds upon the established foundations of the soulslike genre, though at times it reveals some rough edges and a lack of attention to detail. However, the foundations for building an excellent future title are all there, and we hope the studio will surprise us with their next project!”

Latest: Rugrats: Retro Rewind Collection

Nintendo LifeMay 25, 2026Score 40

“Looking at the whole package, Rugrats: Retro Rewind Collection is the epitome of a release that's carried solely by nostalgia. If you happened to love the show or any of the games in this collection in younger years, there's certainly a case to be made for picking this one up just to take a trip down memory lane and remind yourself of the simpler times. Yet when you take that aspect away, you're left with a weird amalgamation of mid-tier games that exemplify many of the game design shortcomings and limitations of this era of the gaming industry.At their worst, these games are janky, difficult to control, and relatively thin when it comes to meaningful content. At their best, they're inoffensive and passable distractions that you'll probably never feel like playing again after you put them down. There are much worse games out there, but Rugrats: Retro Rewind Collection makes an unconvincing case for why it's worth both your time and money. It's a cool novelty and I think fans of the original show or games will get a bit more out of it, but this isn't something that I can recommend as something you ought to pick up. If you must, I'd suggest you at least wait for a sale.”

“Legacy of The Dark Knight is the ultimate love letter to everything Batman, from the original comics to the films and everything else surrounding this cornerstone of the DC universe, serving as a spiritual successor to the original Arkhamverse adventures. With an adventure spanning various eras, packed with jokes and references that pay homage to the original material, a superbly realised Gotham City brimming with content, and the return of Arkham-style combat—which I’d missed terribly—this title is a safe bet for anyone seeking quality action, whether playing solo or with friends, for both LEGO fans and Batman fans alike.”

“Ben je wel zo’n keiharde Shmup fanaat? Dan kan dit misschien iets voor jou zijn. De standaardprijs voor deze game op Steam bedraagt wel 34.99 euro, wat ik persoonlijk best veel vind voor een remake van dit soort. Aan jou de keuze of je dit de moeite waard vindt of niet.”

Latest: R-Type Dimensions III

The Games MachineMay 25, 2026Score 68

“R-Type Dimensions III faithfully recreates the brutal charm of R-Type III: The Third Lightning with revamped HD visuals, remastered audio, and modern features like co-op play. While the graphical overhaul is impressive, the core gameplay remains heavily rooted in early '90s shooter design, complete with punishing trial-and-error mechanics. Nostalgic players may appreciate its historical authenticity, but newcomers could find it frustratingly archaic despite the added accessibility options.”

Latest: Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II

STWGames ItaliaMay 25, 2026Score 80

“Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II presents itself as a sequel that has chosen the path of structural expansion rather than radical reinvention, and in many respects this choice proves effective and consistent with the foundations laid by its predecessor. However, there is no shortage of elements that could have benefited from more attention. In any case, taken as a whole, Mechanicus II represents a coherent and respectful evolution of a formula that had already proven its worth, and one that will satisfy both devotees of the Omnissiah and players seeking a turn-based tactical game capable of standing out for its identity and character in an increasingly crowded landscape of offerings.”

Analog Stick GamingMay 25, 2026Score 60Pre-release Review

“Yerba Buena has a solid idea on how to advance the puzzle genre, but lacks the execution to really pull it off. What is here is certainly enhanced by a fairly ok story, which has a very cool reveal behind it, but a lack of compelling characters, especially its lead, leaves Yerba Buena in a space where nothing really stands out.”

Worth PlayingMay 25, 2026Score 75Pre-release Review

“Yerba Buena is a flawed but fun puzzle platformer. The gun is fun to use, and while the puzzles in the latter half can get maddeningly difficult in levels that can start to feel like they run for too long, those puzzles can also feel satisfying to solve. The story can be a little bonkers at times, but it is compelling despite some issues that can mar the experience. With a solid presentation, Yerba Buena ends up being a fun experience for those craving a puzzle platformer that feels both different and familiar.”

“Nitro Gen Omega is a stylish tactical RPG with a beautiful art design, a slick UI and amazing animations. However, I can see some players being turned away by having to learn the many combat systems it throws at you, even if it’s fun once you get used to it. Overall, I still think this game is worth your time.”

So Many GamesMay 24, 2026Score 80

“As far as narrative-driven visual novels go, there aren’t many more high-profile series than the Coffee Talk games. This sequel/spin-off serves up more of the same, but in the best of ways. Familiar and new characters meet up and get to witness the magic of this little coffee shop in Tokyo for themselves and learn some valuable life lessons from sources they might never have expected to. You’ll fall in love with each and every one of these characters and will feel the need to brew them the perfect beverage every time (although the vagueness of their queries doesn’t always help). It’s just such a shame that there’s unfulfilled potential left here.”

“Far more than a cheap imitation, LumenTale: Memories of Trey lives up to its influences, delivering an adventure worthy of being in the collection of any fan of monster-catching games.

“Warren Spector’s Thick as Thieves delivers a bite-sized, budget-friendly homage to classic immersive sims that shines brightest in co-op. However, a lean content offering, sterile solo play, and an underwhelming text-heavy narrative keep this otherwise mechanically sound, Edwardian-era heist from pulling off the ultimate crime.”
