Once popular skateboard, snowboarding, or tennis titles have been pushed to the margins. Even Rockstar Games once managed to surprise us with a table tennis simulation. Today? Well, you have tennis in GTA Online!

Furthermore, it is unbelievably stressful when several enemies suddenly attack you in a dark basement, pushing you into a corner and locking you into an endless loop of knockdown animations that cannot be interrupted.

After both installments laid an exceptionally strong foundation, everyone was surprised when the third Nioh was announced at the end of 2025. Players were ecstatic, theories and “prayers to the gods of the internet” were flying everywhere, all in hopes that some part of the story or mechanics would leak to the public. Fortunately, players didn’t have to wait long, and Nioh 3 finally saw the light of day.

For us who view mountains from the foothills or stick to marked trails, it is difficult to truly feel the intensity and uncertainty that climbers experience, especially in films and documentaries. That is where Cairn comes in, a game that through its very gameplay wants to convey the lifestyle of climbers and allow us to experience it without life-threatening danger.

Despite the addictive and enjoyable gameplay, it's disappointing that we received so little in other areas after nearly 14 years, leaving a bitter taste. The gameplay is fantastic, but what's the point when the game painfully lacks content to enjoy repeatedly? This content shortage is particularly troubling given the price 2K is asking, and the most significant off-court innovation is the battle pass system and an in-game store to spend more money.

As if someone ran into the studio with a bucket of anime glitter, a screwdriver, and a script from three completely different video games. And that is roughly where our adventure begins.

In a world where a painter erases everyone whose name appears on her 'list' every January 1st—yes, they literally vanish from existence—you are a member of Expedition 33. So far, 32 expeditions have disappeared, and yours is the last hope to end this abstract genocide. The narrative of Clair Obscur is not just absurd and poetic, but also deeply philosophical, exploring themes of existential dread, loss, and moral conflict.

In such a dark and melancholic world, we meet Lana Benton, a child with no home and no choice, sent to an orphanage. As a newly arrived girl, she was observed with quiet distrust. Over time, that silence grew into cruelty, whispers behind her back, cold glances in the hallway that spoke clearly that she was not welcome there in Bunny Hall. 

The first thing that stands out is how well Tormented Souls 2 utilizes its atmosphere. Everything radiates nostalgia from the thin rays of light piercing through windows to the unsettling creak of doors opening suspiciously slowly, as if they themselves don’t want to reveal what’s waiting on the other side.

Octopath Traveler 0 is a game in which Square Enix finally decided to stop experimenting and deliver a fully formed JRPG with a clear vision, emotional weight, and a narrative that works as a cohesive whole rather than a collection of separate ideas.
