MOUSE: P.I. was her name, a detective story crammed with bad jokes, it sounded oddly familiar... Black-and-white techniques in the style of animated films from the first half of the last century tell a story about a fellow detective named Jack Pepper, a veteran of the Great War who returned from the Old World to solve his cases in the familiar town of Mouseburg.

That's the case with Forza Horizon 6, which means this should be an easy review to write. I could minimally modify a thought from my Forza Horizon 5 review and write: everything I praised about the fifth installment, I can praise about the sixth one, and everything I complained about in that game, I don't like in this new one either.

Just when I thought it was another pointless hype phrase and decided to quit, that famous scene rolled out, catapulting the entire series into mainstream popularity. From framing and explosion of violence to the closing credits, less than three minutes passed, enough to make me a fan.

Saros is a PlayStation 5 exclusive developed by Housemarque, serving as a spiritual successor to Returnal. Where Returnal was a pure roguelike, Saros adopts a roguelite structure — meaning resources and upgrades persist between runs — making it significantly more accessible without sacrificing the studio's trademark bullet-hell intensity.

Now that Replaced is finally here, the theme of the game is more relevant than ever before, because AI technology is increasingly leaving the realm of fiction and becoming our everyday reality. Not a day goes by without someone mentioning how we could be replaced by artificial intelligence. ​

Despite notable differences from other cozy games like Animal Crossing or Pokémon Pokopia, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream aims to set itself apart as an addictive new benchmark in its genre. But does this distinctiveness ultimately make it the standout cozy game fans will want in 2026?

Outside combat, Cadence and her crew explore regions with upgrade shops, chatty NPCs, and optional puzzles. While secondary, these activities add variety and pacing between the musical and combat highlights.

Pokopia carves out its own niche with distinctive gameplay that truly justifies a closer look. Instead of relying on typical references, it’s important to explain what makes moving stones along a path, from a Pokémon's home to the central fountain, a meaningful mechanic.

With Marathon, things were different. I felt that excitement again, but without unnecessary waiting and frustration. That is essentially the entire game; it takes the best elements of extraction shooters without the genre’s frequent mistakes. But is that enough to attract players who have ignored this type of game until now?

All in all, Planet of Lana 2 does not introduce revolutionary innovations to the already well-established genre of 2D narrative adventures, just as the previous game did not. However, in this case, that is not really a problem because all elements are executed at a remarkably high level, combined with beautiful presentation and flawless technical performance.
