Voidling Bound offers a unique formula that successfully blends various influences in a generally compelling way. Its system of evolving creatures is clearly its greatest strength, as are its dynamic battles, which remain enjoyable for much of the adventure. The need to adapt to different types of enemies, the numerous possibilities offered by the skill trees, and the freedom given to the player to develop their team all contribute to an engaging experience. However, the game isn’t immune to certain issues of repetitiveness. The rapidly increasing difficulty sometimes forces you to repeat the same objectives over and over, while the lack of long-term variety in the missions eventually becomes noticeable.

Nickelodeon Extreme Tennis: Next! manages to provide a few hours of entertainment thanks to its accessible approach and its charming cast of characters from the brand’s famous franchises. The arcade-style tennis gameplay is generally well-executed, the special powers add a bit of personality to the matches, and the co-op mode is a welcome addition. However, the initial fun quickly fades due to extremely repetitive progression, limited content, and a clear lack of variety in the courts and activities on offer. The game constantly gives the impression that it could have offered so much more. I hope future updates will enhance the experience!

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight successfully celebrates the Dark Knight’s entire legacy while offering a modern, accessible adventure packed with content. Thanks to its excellent art direction, vast array of references, and open world that’s a joy to explore, the game easily ranks among the best LEGO titles of recent years. Admittedly, some side activities lack originality, and a few technical glitches occasionally slow down the pace of the adventure. However, these flaws remain relatively minor when you consider everything the game accomplishes. Although an online mode would have greatly enhanced the two-player experience. Ultimately, whether you’re a fan of the movies, the animated series, or the comic books, this title is well worth your attention.

Everything is Crab is an undeniable success both creatively and in terms of gameplay. The blend of Spore and Vampire Survivors works wonderfully, offering an accessible, addictive, and thoroughly original experience. The visual mutations are a brilliant idea that boosts replayability, and the gameplay loop is solid enough to keep you hooked for hours. However, the lack of variety in the environments, limited depth, and content that could be more substantial prevent the game from reaching the pinnacle of the genre. I sense enormous potential, but it remains only partially realized.

Directive 8020 isn’t a failure, but it’s also not the comeback that some were hoping for from Supermassive Games. The game offers a few notable improvements, particularly in terms of narrative structure and replayability. However, these strengths are constantly undermined by uneven execution, a plot that lacks restraint, and gameplay that struggles to justify its existence. More broadly, the title confirms a worrying trend for the studio, which seems to be finding it increasingly difficult to match the quality of its best productions.

This game has been polarizing from the very beginning. Some will love it for specific reasons: its length (easily around 120 hours), the numerous and varied quests, and the engaging and fun combat. Others, however, will find the game sorely lacking in inspiration when it comes to its story. The truth lies somewhere in between. Crimson Desert offers plenty of enjoyment for those who like to engage in various activities at their own pace. But if you’re looking for a deep story where you’ll grow attached to the characters and people you meet along the way, you couldn’t be further from it. So you have to take the game for what it is: an adventure RPG that stands out without being the blockbuster everyone was expecting. And that’s perfectly fine.

Mixtape is a truly unique experience. It’s not a game that aims to impress with its difficulty or complex mechanics. On the contrary, some purists might even argue that it’s hardly a video game at all, since most of the time, we’re actually doing very little. The gameplay is minimalist and serves almost exclusively to complement the emotions, dialogue, and music.

Bus Bound is a game that succeeds in ways we didn’t necessarily expect, while failing to take a crucial step forward. The driving is enjoyable, the environment is immersive, and its accessible approach makes it an experience that’s easy to enjoy. There’s a real quality to this unapologetic simplicity, to this desire to offer a game that can be played without pressure and that focuses on immediate enjoyment. However, that same simplicity also becomes its main drawback. The lack of depth in the management mechanics, the lack of variety in progression, and the repetitiveness that gradually sets in prevent the game from truly holding up over the long term. It remains to be seen whether this feeling will fade with the updates and additional content planned for the coming months.

With Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Nintendo has likely created one of the most creative and contemplative Yoshi games in recent years. While it doesn’t set out to completely revolutionize the formula, the game still manages to constantly surprise players thanks to its focus on exploration, observation, and discovery. Despite a few minor slowdowns and a fairly accessible difficulty level, this colorful adventure is brimming with personality and charm from start to finish.

Aphelion is a narrative science-fiction game that places a strong emphasis on atmosphere, exploration, and the mystery surrounding Persephone. Thanks to its stunning art direction, highly effective environmental storytelling, and clever concepts involving electromagnetic waves, the game manages to hold your interest for much of the adventure. Unfortunately, several technical issues detract from the experience. Uneven animations, problematic collisions, and certain movement-related bugs sometimes prevent the game from fully reaching its potential. After a while, the climbing sections and stealth areas became so repetitive that I found myself no longer wanting to explore the next area.

Forza Horizon 6 remains an excellent racing game. It’s beautiful, smooth, accessible, and offers an impressive amount of content. In fact, the online modes are well-designed, and the new menu makes them much easier to access. However, the game also feels like it’s playing it too safe by relying heavily on the foundations laid by its predecessors. For a new player, it’s an ideal entry point into the franchise. For veterans, it’s a return to familiar territory, with a few interesting detours, but no real surprises.

From the very beginning, I was really excited about Invincible VS. As a huge fan of the franchise, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the game. When you think about it, for a debut title, the studio has managed to deliver explosive, intense, and spectacular battles that truly do justice to the universe. The 3-on-3 combat system works a treat, the cast is compelling, and the visuals pack a punch. It all adds up to an obvious love letter to fans of the franchise. Unfortunately, all this potential is held back by content that’s far too thin to sustain the experience over the long term, particularly for players less interested in competitive multiplayer. It’s an excellent starting point for a potential sequel or for an experience that could grow over time.

With Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred, Blizzard has created an expansion aimed primarily at fans of the franchise and those who have followed the evolution of its universe since its inception. Richer and more polished than *Vessel of Hatred*, it offers a satisfying, well-written narrative conclusion packed with memorable moments, confirming that this is where its true strength lies. Between its inspired environments, polished atmosphere, relevant gameplay tweaks, and two new classes, the experience remains enjoyable from start to finish. However, despite these qualities, it fails to address one of the most debated aspects of the base game, as the endgame—while functional—still lacks variety and struggles to maintain long-term engagement. Ultimately, it’s an excellent narrative conclusion and a solid experience for fans of the universe, but one that leaves a more mixed impression once you consider what happens after the campaign.

Kiln is a frustrating game to review, because it’s impossible not to see the full potential of its concept. Its premise is brilliant, its pottery-making mechanics are ingenious, and its art direction is flawless. The foundations of an excellent multiplayer game are clearly there, and when everything works as intended, the experience can be genuinely fun. However, in its current state, the game mostly feels like it was released far too early. Its glaring lack of content, rapid repetitiveness, uninspiring progression, balancing issues, and—above all—an already concerning player base significantly limit the enjoyment it can offer. Despite its more-than-attractive price, Kiln remains, above all, an excellent idea that still needs a lot more work.

Pragmata stands out as another successful IP for Capcom, managing to distinguish itself without necessarily revolutionizing the genre. Driven by an endearing duo, polished art direction, and cleverly designed gameplay mechanics, the title offers an experience that is both accessible and engaging. It’s not perfect—there are occasional slowdowns, a certain simplicity in its systems, and a runtime that might leave some players wanting more—but overall, it’s remarkably well-executed. Pragmata prioritizes efficiency over excess, delivering a concise, coherent adventure that respects the player’s time. A refreshing offering that, without making a splash, leaves a lasting impression once the credits roll. Despite an already busy start to the year, this is a title that certainly deserves a closer look.

Vampire Crawlers could easily have been just another opportunistic spin-off riding on the coattails of Vampire Survivors’ popularity. Instead, the developers have delivered a surprisingly clever reimagining of their own formula, one that manages to capture the essence of the original while offering a distinct and compelling experience. The concept works wonderfully well, the art direction is superb, the gameplay is extremely satisfying, and the wealth of content will instantly delight longtime fans. Nevertheless, it’s true that the game does become a bit more repetitive and doesn’t quite reach that same level of almost addictive obsession that turned its predecessor into a phenomenon.

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire succeeds where many games with visually striking concepts fall short. It isn’t just visually original; it’s also a joy to play. The experience is driven by simply exceptional art direction, fast-paced and extremely satisfying gameplay, and a masterfully executed film noir atmosphere. This title from Fumi Games stands out as one of the most memorable and refreshing FPS games of the year. Admittedly, its investigation system takes a backseat more than one might have hoped, and the game drags a bit toward the end, but these flaws are minor compared to the overall quality of the experience.

If it hasn’t been clear up until now, let’s state it plainly here: Saros is, to date, the best game of 2026. We’re talking about a game that’s much more accessible to newcomers to the genre. A storyline that’s more fleshed out than their previous work. We’re talking about new features that elevate the game to the highest strata. And finally, a playtime that adapts to each player’s pace (yet remains more than respectable for the most experienced players). Saros improves and even transforms the genre. Few can boast of such an achievement.

Tides of Tomorrow is a game that gets a lot right, though it doesn’t quite reach the level of excellence. Its story is touching, its world is well-crafted, and its art direction is particularly inspired. The Story-Link system brings a genuine sense of originality, even if it shows its limitations over time, and the gameplay loop could have used a bit more variety. The game’s length is well-balanced, and the experience remains enjoyable from start to finish, but certain decisions prevent it from taking things to the next level—particularly in terms of replayability and the depth of certain systems. Nevertheless, this is a solid, sincere offering that is clearly worth checking out for fans of narrative-driven games.

The Occultist is a solid narrative horror game that focuses more on atmosphere and exploration than on action. Thanks to its unique pendulum mechanics, varied environments, and intriguing story, it manages to hold your interest from start to finish. Despite a few flaws, such as limited replayability, occasionally confusing navigation, and uneven voice acting, the experience remains solid and immersive. It’s a relatively short but well-paced game that will appeal to fans of survival horror focused on exploration and puzzles.
