EA and PopCap had the perfect chance to let Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted bloom, yet what we got feels more like a neglected garden. The timeless strategy gameplay still holds up, and the game overflows with content, but odd design choices ruin the experience. With worse graphics, missing dynamic music, and a confused interface, this port strips away the soul of the original. Replanted is a reminder that the old Plants vs. Zombies (GOTY Edition) offers far more life for far less money.

Wildgate is a complex game to recommend. Its deep, well-integrated systems offer a unique multiplayer experience, but its steep learning curve, lack of matchmaking balance, and aggressive monetization make it a tough sell unless you're fully invested in its design.

Despite some entertaining and brutal core gameplay, Killing Floor 3 is a thematically inconsistent and visually underwhelming shooter with generic design, repetitive missions, performance issues, and an intrusive in-game shop - an unfinished product, and one that Tripwire Interactive may need several more years to truly bring up to standard. The core is here, it just needs a lot of work.

Ruffy and the Riverside is a well-intentioned debut 3D platformer whose charm and inventive ideas shine on the surface, but a lackluster narrative, uneven visuals, underused mechanics, and technical roughness reveal it’s still very much a work in progress.

Despite some interesting choices here and there and a more than decent co-op gameplay loop, John Carpenter's Toxic Commando cannot really present itself as a strong addition to the zombie shooter genre.

Big Hops delivers solidly crafted core systems and joyful 3D platforming with cozy visuals that make hopping around feel great, but a lack of tight level design, engaging narrative, and long-term incentives holds it back, resulting in a typical 3D platformer debut that showcases both Luckshot Games’ strong potential and clear growing pains.

Abyssus is a thoroughly solid roguelite first-person shooter that just fails to be interesting enough to fully convince.

Centum isn’t a great game in the traditional sense, but its haunting atmosphere and narrative create an experience that lingers—though whether it’s worth playing or just watching is for you to decide.

Monsters are Coming! Rock & Road is a light, quirky, budget-friendly jack-of-all-trades that shines in short bursts but repeats itself too often to earn knighthood.
