Aphelion succeeds by betting on an interesting theme and a relatively realistic approach to space exploration. The combination of science fiction, human drama, and mystery works well enough to keep the player curious for much of the campaign. However, the game suffers from linearity issues, some repetitive moments, and a lack of technical refinement that prevents the project from reaching its full potential.

Saros features gameplay with frenetic combat and a raid system that encourages and excites the player to replay everything dozens of times before finally progressing through the game. Furthermore, its story offers an appealing universe and a foundation that can be easily explored in other titles and even sequels.

Despite some stumbles, such as a somewhat rushed narrative and the absence of significant endgame innovations, Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred represents the pinnacle of quality achieved by the game in its three years of constant evolution. If you only care about the plot and the new region, there's no problem waiting for a sale, but if you want to jump into the new season with the new classes, then this is an expansion that shouldn't be missing from your library.

Pragmata is the kind of game that can appeal to most people, even if it has a few stumbles along the way. If you're unsure, I can say that there are many elements that reminded me of games like Resident Evil and Dead Space, with very small hints of Monster Hunter and even Death Stranding.

Tomodachi Life is easily a game I never imagined would get a sequel, especially 12 years after its release. During my days on the island with my new Miis, I can say that the formula is still extremely fun and I'm very happy that Nintendo has invested in the franchise again. Still, I think one of the strongest points of the original was its surprise factor, since we had never seen anything like it before.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is the third installment in the spin-off series, but the first to truly stand on equal footing with the main series. In scope and ambition, Twisted Reflection is as big as Monster Hunter Wilds, even with some inconsistent moments in combat and side activities. With Stories 3, Monster Hunter remains sovereign as Capcom's most consistent product.

Life is Strange Reunion marks a significant narrative evolution compared to Double Exposure, but leaves a feeling of being made as a big fanfic to please the most enthusiastic fans of the Max and Chloe couple. And that makes a lot of sense, considering that Square Enix marketed the game as the duo's last great adventure.

Super Bomberman Collection brings all the conveniences that a classic game collection needs, without adding or taking away anything. After recovering from a pachinko overdose, Konami finally seems to have mastered the art of preserving its intellectual properties. I hope the company persists with this initiative, as its treasure trove is still full of relics that deserve to be rescued.

Crimson Desert is an experience that won’t appeal to everyone, but it can be unforgettable for those who embrace what others might see as flaws. Blending combat, survival, and exploration, the game offers over 100 hours of content that may feel superficial to some yet captivating to others. Despite issues like confusing menus and a clunky inventory system, it remains fun and worthy of attention in 2026. Ultimately, the key question is whether you have the time and willingness to dive into its expansive design, which could shine even brighter if it focused less on quantity and more on personality.

Marathon is a brutal and potentially frustrating extraction shooter. It's not beginner-friendly, but offers significant value for those who persevere. The art direction is bold and extremely striking—capable of attracting or repelling players from the very first moment. [Review in Progress]
