Saros is not merely a successor to Returnal; it is its raw evolution. By placing projectile absorption at the very heart of the game, Housemarque delivers a visceral shooter where aggression is rewarded. While the roguelite elements occasionally lack variety—and a touch of wildness—in their arsenal, the utilization of the PS5’s DualSense controller offers an unparalleled dopamine hit. More accessible yet still demanding, it is an unmissable gem for fans of the genre—a shooter without equal.

Lord of Hatred stands as the ultimate culmination of Diablo 4, bolstered by an excellent narrative conclusion to this "Hatred" arc and the saving grace of two new classes. By granting certain fan wishes, Blizzard refines its formula—yet fails to exorcise its old demons. While customization reaches new heights, the endgame bogs down in arid optimization, devoid of any real technical innovation. This is all the more striking given that the new content introduced by LoH doesn't truly change the game's fundamental dynamic. So yes, Lord of Hatred makes Diablo 4 better than it has ever been. But that doesn't necessarily mean this expansion will win you over.

It was highly anticipated, and all in all, Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War does not disappoint. Faithful to Paul Verhoeven’s film, this FPS fully embraces its retro visual identity and offers a dynamic, responsive feel. With the return of Casper Van Dien, the snarky dialogue, and the dripping satire, it is clear that the developers went all-in on their creative vision—and it is genuinely fun. The battlefields are never short on tension, the explosions are well-executed, and the bestiary never fails to surprise. It is in these moments that one feels the objectives would have benefited from greater variety, accompanied by a longer campaign. It is also a shame that the Arachnid phase wasn't more fully integrated into the main campaign. But for anyone who loves Starship Troopers and retro FPS games, it serves as a great outlet for blowing off steam.

Tomodachi Life expects nothing more from us than that we peck at it like a small box of nuggets. It is the side dish you order at a fast-food joint when you still have a bit of a craving after the burger. Unfortunately, you realize far too late that the employee forgot to include said burger in the order (you know exactly what I’m talking about). You will, therefore, have to make do with this little appetizer. The additions introduced in the 3DS installment are welcome; the customization is fabulous, and the Mii editor stands as a classic in its own right. However, Tomodachi Life: A Dream Life is no masterpiece of the life-simulation genre. That said, it is probably the funniest entry in the genre. If you are looking for a title to sink hundreds of hours into, you might find the island to be rather deserted. But if you need to see your boss dressed in an egg costume every now and then just to take your mind off your overdue emails, then the experience is well worth checking out.

Ultimately, Pragmata is a title that still bears the scars of a complex development process—one that forced the teams to make difficult choices, particularly regarding its structure. To avoid compromising the core experience, it feels as though Capcom opted to keep things simple—a choice that is often the most sensible one. While perhaps unsurprising in this regard, Pragmata more than makes up for it with its gameplay—which is exhilarating from start to finish and constantly refreshed by regular new additions—as well as through the story it weaves around its two central characters and their intertwined destinies. Dense, spectacular, and deeply moving, Pragmata stands as the perfect example of the kind of tightly focused game we wish we encountered more often—a stark contrast to other titles that aim for sheer excess. Short yet intense, Pragmata serves as yet another testament to Capcom’s mastery in delivering finely tuned productions that send shivers down your spine.
