Denshattack is a delightfully eccentric blend of Jet Set Radio and Tony Hawk, replacing skateboards with trains. It's a wonderfully absurd concept that somehow works surprisingly well. The gameplay is pure fun, with the developers clearly pouring their hearts into crafting a wide variety of inventive levels and controls that are easy to learn yet offer satisfying depth and an unmistakably arcade feel.

Black Jacket could have benefited from a more accessible ruleset. However, it more than rewards persistent players with clever gameplay that completely overhauls the rules of blackjack, replacing, to a great extent, luck with strategy and smart deckbuilding. On top of that, its folklore-inspired, subtly horror aesthetic greatly elevates the overall presentation. Fans of roguelikes and deckbuilding games should not miss this one.

Rhythm Paradise Groove is a deceptively simple yet thoroughly entertaining game. It delivers an unapologetically straightforward experience, offering a delightful variety of rhythm challenges that make it hard to put down.

Omen Exitio: Hunger is, at its core, a visual novel that delivers a decent horror story with meaningful choices that can significantly shape the narrative. Its Lovecraftian inspiration is unmistakable, though its prose never quite reaches the heights of the works that inspired it. At around 15 hours, the pacing occasionally drags, making the experience feel longer than necessary. Even so, it remains an enjoyable companion for a quiet night of gaming and -mainly- reading. Just don't expect it to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout.

Star Fox is an unapologetically arcade-style experience, remaining completely faithful to Star Fox 64, perhaps even to a fault. The Nintendo 64 classic has been beautifully modernized with impressive visuals and fluid animations, complemented by excellent controls and strong replay value. That said, in an era where remakes often expand upon their source material, it's fair to expect the developers to go a step further by adding new content or fresh surprises.

Gothic 1 Remake is nothing less than a faithful recreation of the original. Alkimia Interactive even goes the extra mile by adding new content that further expands the game's already rich and well-written lore. On top of that, the revamped combat system delivers a welcoming modernization. However, the harsh realities of this demanding RPG soon become apparent, reminding players just how unforgiving the original was. Newcomers, in particular, may struggle to adjust to its many intricacies and the lack of several quality of life elements, common in modern RPGs.

Driftland initially offers an interesting RTS experience, thanks to its ability to let players control individual units and its unique resource system, which allows to build cities and wage battles across multiple floating islands. However, the mediocre combat quickly drags the experience down, while the subpar visuals do little to improve the overall impression. In the end, it serves as a prime example of a good idea undermined by mediocre execution.

The Switch 2 version of Tales of Arise is, without a doubt, the inferior version of the game, despite arriving five years after the original release. Anyone who has already played it on other platforms will find little reason to return, as the portability of the Switch 2 isn't enough to make up for the low resolution and 30 fps performance. That said, Tales of Arise remains an excellent JRPG, and first-time players may overcome its technical shortcomings thanks to the strength of the overall experience.

RIVEN was a back-to-back masterpiece following MYST, and it remains one today. Completely overhauled visually and made even more immersive through its excellent VR adaptation, it's an easy recommendation. If you've already experienced and loved MYST (especially in VR) then RIVEN is an unquestionable purchase.

Yacht Club Games may have taken their time to deliver their newest game after the excellent Shovel Knight, but the wait was certainly worth it. If Hollow Knight: Silksong was the indie game of 2025, then in 2026 Mina the Hollower could very well claim that title for itself. Its unapologetically 8-bit visuals, brought to life with remarkable detail and personality, are half of its charm. The other half lies in its excellent compact world, densely packed with secrets that make exploration a constant joy and form the heart of this wholly enjoyable, nostalgic, yet thoroughly modern experience.
