“Debut title from Vermila Studios, Crisol: Theater of Idols brings together excellent ideas from major horror and action projects in a cinematic, powerful, and extremely fun adventure.”

“Carmageddon Rogue Shift is a great return for a franchise that spent far too long forgotten. By embracing the roguelite format, the game finds a modern way to preserve the chaos and destruction that have always defined the series, even while stumbling over issues of balance and repetition. It’s not a game that tries to impress technically, but it succeeds in delivering races the way arcade fans love them—the classic mix of shooting, crashing, and bombing. With some fine-tuning, especially regarding the final boss and content variety, Rogue Shift has everything it needs to establish itself as a viable new path for Carmageddon.”

“Comprehensive, the expansion brings even more stories worth exploring in this world. It would have been interesting to see this choice system in the base game, but everything was integrated in a very dynamic way within the format presented.”

“Returning as one of the major promises of psychological horror in 2026, BrokenLore: Unfollow presents a few occasional stumbles, but these are easily overcome thanks to its immersive narrative, which intensely explores themes related to mental health and the human psyche. It stands as an essential title for fans of the franchise and also an excellent entry point for new players to discover the series.”

“Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road is a great choice for those looking for a soccer game that goes beyond the sport itself, blending RPG elements, a well-crafted story, and gameplay that captivates from the very first matches. The variety of modes helps keep players engaged over time and ensures many hours of fun. And this comes from someone who had never played anything from the franchise before—yet Victory Road quickly managed to carve out its place and leave a very positive impression.”

“Brok: The Brawl Bar is a straightforward beat ’n up, no frills, with satisfying impact in its blows. The challenge-based structure works at first, but it quickly becomes tiring and doesn’t sustain the fun, especially after long hours with the controller in hand. Even so, the game holds strong thanks to its solid gameplay, cartoony art style, and generous content. It doesn’t reinvent the genre, nor does it try to be bigger than it is, and ultimately succeeds through honesty. For those who enjoy brawling and challenges with some gameplay variations, this one is safe to dive into!”

“Full of possibilities and with a good sense of satisfaction, Kill It With Fire 2 keeps you quite busy, but it doesn’t take many hours before it becomes relatively repetitive.”

“Impactful, silent, and haunting, Pools arrives on consoles with a unique proposal—far, far from being boring.”

“Rue Valley is a special work that exudes identity and genius. It is hard not to be enchanted by the game's city and its characters, and to feel extremely anxious to unravel the loop.”

“Anima Gate of Memories I&II Remaster is a solid remaster of a game that may have flown under the radar for many when it was originally released in 2016 and 2018. It delivers on what it sets out to do, featuring decent gameplay, an excellent soundtrack, strong art direction, and an interesting level design — though there’s still room for improvement.”

“Dark Quest IV delivers a simple and honest tactical adventure, but it doesn't go much beyond the basics. The charm of a board game is still present, and the various character options are interesting. However, the limited visuals and poor balancing among the heroes make the experience less exciting than it could be. It's the type of game that provides fun through strategic combat and co-op, but without major moments or surprises.”

“Silly Polly Beast is a great conceptual horror experience. With charismatic characters and a fragmented but interesting story, the title combines action and survival but struggles with unfair confrontations.”

“Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage delivers the most complete version of Sega’s modern classic. The revamped campaign structure and expanded matchmaking address key gaps from the original release, while the combat remains one of the most technical, precise, and satisfying in the 3D fighting genre.”

“The remake of The House of the Dead 2 continues Frontier’s excellent work in reviving the golden age for countless arcade and rail shooter fans.”

“With solid ideas, The Lonesome Guild runs up against the limits of its budget, delivering compelling characters, a story that stretches longer than it should, and combat that lacks impact.”

“With great ideas, Kaku: Ancient Seal runs up against the limits of its budget and delivers a good adventure that could have been excellent.”

“Reach is another virtual reality IP that aims to innovate with dynamic gameplay mechanics, but ultimately stands out due to numerous technical and optimization issues.”

“Terrifying and conceptually stimulating, The Cabin Factory is a must-play experience for fans of short and original horror games.”

“Simple and very limited, Castle of Heart Retold is a version of the former Nintendo Switch exclusive that barely justifies the years of work put into it.”

“Alien Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition is a focused and tense adventure that expands on the Alien Isolation universe and brings considerable improvements over the VR version—all delivered through a faithful and action-oriented experience.”
