Like Returnal before it, Saros didn't need to be a roguelike at all. That the experience holds up so confidently regardless is a testament to the game's quality, largely because the core gameplay is once again every bit as tight as you'd expect from Housemarque.

Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred improves on Vessel of Hatred in every way that matters: the story goes deeper, the colourful locations of Skovos are a feast for the eyes, and for forty euros you get two expansions that together offer hundreds of hours of enjoyment.

A game that completely absorbed me with my own created world and characters, but ultimately also made me realize that I mainly had to make it fun myself.

The music, voiceovers, and bizarre weapons do a great job of masking the shortcomings of Mouse. Mouse P.I. For Hire won't be the game of the year, but in my opinion, it's the most stylish one.

Pragmata is a game you have to experience to understand why it works so well. The story sometimes lacks depth, but the gameplay more than makes up for it. Everything comes together in a rhythm that keeps you engaged from start to finish.

Ultimately, Pokémon Champions is an accessible VGC simulator that could have been quite enjoyable, but is held back significantly by pay-to-win elements and technical issues.

Reunion is an entertaining but technically imperfect trip down memory lane that proves the bond between Max and Chloe is still worth its weight in gold, even though the rest of the game is a bit less weighty this time around and the resolution sometimes feels a bit rushed.

Grime II fails to learn enough from its predecessor’s shortcomings, especially its technical ones, but still delivers another stunning Metroidvania packed with thrilling action, challenging platforming puzzles, (art) philosophy, and atmosphere.

With Midnight, World of Warcraft once again delivers a fantastic expansion, featuring a beautiful new version of Silvermoon and the surrounding areas, a highly entertaining story, and new systems that can keep the game going strong for years to come.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder + Meetup in Bellabel Park remains a wonderful platformer. Its colorful playfulness bursts off the screen, and the levels remain remarkably inventive. It's a shame this expansion doesn't include more single-player content, but even if the minigames do nothing for you, there's still plenty to enjoy in Bellabel Park. Now it's time to wait for a truly new 2D Mario.
