Cubed3Oct 14, 2026Score 50Pre-release Review

“Odd Town offers a distinctive visual style, a nice blend of silly and dark humour, and an interesting mystery wrapped in a compact French town. Unfortunately, the world isn't dynamic enough to turn the sandbox into a truly immersive experience, while the limited variety leaves little reason to keep playing once the novelty wears off. The story half fares better, but numerous parts of it walk a fine line between challenging and aggravating. There's a great idea here, and plenty of personality, but not quite enough depth or refinement to make it all work. It feels small and unfinished.”

“Similarly to its predecessor, Boltgun 2 is a solid old-style shooter that is consistently good, but never excellent.”

“Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a wonderful gift for players who have grown bored with the 'realism' of Gran Turismo 7 and the search for any remotely interesting activities in Forza Horizon 6. Fuse Games has offered a chance to go back to the second half of the 2000s, when arcade racers were at their peak popularity and offered unusual gameplay solutions. Few are capable of that nowadays, so this chance is not to be missed.”

“There are lots of Metroidvania games out there these days, but it's hard to find one that nails Silver Pines' dark, moody vibes. The puzzles are never too difficult, the characters and story beats are well thought out, and the game's survival aspect never feels overly punishing. If you're looking for a creepy story and setting, with minimalist but sharp gameplay, Silver Pines could be your go-to title right now.”

“Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 takes everything that worked in the first game and multiplies it, with two well-balanced protagonists, finally even-handed weapons and memorable boss fights, and while it stays far too anchored to tradition to truly surprise, it proves to be an excellent retro FPS that's a blast from start to finish.”

Latest: Disney/Pixar Toy Story 3 Complete Edition

Lords Of Gaming Oct 14, 2026Score 90Pre-release Review

“Toy Story 3 Complete Edition evokes warm, nostalgic memories from the moment you switch it on, and that never really lets up. Whether you're navigating a moving train as Woody, helping toy soldiers in the basement of Andy's house parachute to safety as Jessie, or flying through outer space as Buzz, you'll consistently be having a great time. The game will appeal to a wide demographic, from youngsters discovering it for the first time to young adults eager to revisit their childhood sixteen years after the original. Throw Woody's Roundup into the mix, which provides the type of sandbox open-world gameplay that never really outstays its welcome, and you have a winning formula. While less of a remaster and more of a port, it's hard not to recommend it thanks to the low price, as well as the overall package remaining as strong now as it was in 2010.”

Manual dos GamesOct 14, 2026Score 78Pre-release Review

“Toy Story: Retro Roundup! is a collection designed for those who want to revisit an important era of Pixar games without losing sight of what these titles originally were. The excellent presentation, various display modes, and features such as Rewind make revisiting these games much more comfortable on PS5, while the historical bonus content highlights the care taken with game preservation. Not all the games have aged equally well, and the lack of Portuguese-language support in the original titles may discourage younger players. Still, for fans of Toy Story and classic video games, this is a thoughtfully curated trip down memory lane.”

“Tales of Eternia Remastered is the best remaster Bandai Namco has released for this franchise to date. Inferia is a vibrant and captivating world, the game's characters are memorable and lovable, and the ALM battle system still proves entertaining and engaging. Alongside these elements, numerous quality-of-life improvements for better customization, coupled with completely fresh English voice acting, have turned this classic into a highly accessible experience for old fans and new audiences alike.”

Maximum UtmostOct 14, 2026Score 50Pre-release Review

“As I said in the opening, an interesting open world is significantly valuable to me, and the one in Odd Town is formidable as far as environments go. However, it’s let down by everything else. Well, maybe not everything. The basic quest design, while repetitive, maintained my interested, and some of the side jobs are enjoyable. However, without an even halfway decent narrative or an interesting cast to make the world feel really alive, the whole thing is limp. Odd Town is too normal.”

“Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 is a competent and safe sequel that expands on its core pillars, delivering more robust gameplay—now featuring two distinct heroes to boost replayability—and stunning pixel-art environments across various distinct biomes. However, certain gameplay mechanics, such as the weapon-switching system, could use further refinement. While the plot isn't the main focus, it could have benefited from a bit more care; nevertheless, this does not overshadow the quality of this well-executed boomer shooter.”

“Tales of Eternia Remastered is (almost) everything a fan of the franchise could ask for. One of the best games in the series now comes with all the content that was missing from the English versions on PS1 and PSP, a newly retranslated script, and new voice acting. The skits, which are so important to the franchise's identity, are finally here. All of this comes in a highly customizable package, with new difficulty settings and quality-of-life improvements.”
