Hot Wheels Monster Trucks: Stunt Mayhem is a fun game, but the fun will sadly end faster than you think. It only includes Career, Boss, Stunt, and Destruction Modes, with the game being more of a solo experience but also offering split-screen multiplayer. It’s not worth its launch price, and you’d be better off waiting for a sale in the future.
While some might find the early stages of the game a bit slow, I’d recommend sticking with it or focusing only on essential interactions to progress the quests—it makes the pace feel more manageable. Although I haven’t played many of the previous Ys titles, this one has definitely inspired me to revisit earlier games and further explore the adventures of Adol Christin!
Metaphor: ReFantazio checks all the boxes for a remarkable JRPG that not only tells a compelling story and features strategic gameplay, but also has a beautiful art direction and talented voice cast to back it up. This is a grand adventure you don’t want to miss.
For VR adventurers of all ages, Starship Home is a charming and imaginative adventure that makes great use of mixed reality. Even though it can be a little repetitive, the relaxing gameplay and engrossing setting make it a great place to escape to.
While Trails through Daybreak has an ambitious yet imperfect story, it offers captivating gameplay and exploration that still shapes an above-average experience in the end.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is a bold and largely successful experiment in evolving the 2D Zelda formula in a charming and refreshing way. Here’s to hoping we get more entries with our titular heroine in the limelight!
The Until Dawn Remake is a faithful yet enhanced reimagining of a horror classic. The improved visuals, expanded storytelling, and minor gameplay tweaks all contribute to a richer experience for both new and returning players. The game’s performance on the PS5, coupled with its faster load times and better graphics, makes it feel more polished than ever. While some might miss the fixed camera angles and others could find the new lighting system slightly off, these are minor quibbles in what is otherwise a standout remake. If you’ve played the original, you might not find the changes significant enough to warrant a repurchase unless you’re a diehard fan. However, if you’ve never played Until Dawn before, this remake is the definitive version to experience.
Ultimate Zombie Defense 2 puts you in a survival situation where you must hold out against waves of undead. It’s nice to build structures to help you defend against zombies. Unfortunately, there’s nothing unique about the game and it suffers from some bugs. The result is a largely forgettable survival experience easily passed by other games.
Backyard Baseball stood out back then not just for its humor and accessible mechanics but for creating a sense of nostalgia around backyard sports. The success of the ’97 title spawned multiple sequels, many of which included licensed Major League Baseball players as kids in the neighborhood in the following years. This original installment remains a classic, beloved by fans for its simplicity, colorful characters, and the feeling it evokes of long summer days spent playing with friends. While there aren’t any new features or changes other than Steam achievements and leaderboards, the game’s nostalgic and cozy charm is what makes this game the same success as it was back in '97.
With Vessel of Hatred, Diablo IV enriches its lore and gameplay with Nahantu’s terror-laden jungles and the Spiritborn’s untamable rage. Prepare to dive into darkness, where every step through Nahantu brings you closer to a diabolic world where survival is a blood-soaked triumph and every victory a whispered warning—Hell awaits, and it is hungry.
Chains of Fury carves out its own space in the boomer shooter genre with its distinct comic-book style and penchant for destruction. It’s loud, brash, and unapologetically focused on mayhem. However, it falls short in key areas like fluid gameplay and intuitive mechanics, especially when compared to Forgive Me Father 2 or Dusk. The clunky controls and occasional cheap enemy spawns can detract from the fun, but for those seeking a mindless shooter to blow off steam, Chains of Fury fits the bill. Overall, Chains of Fury is a fun but flawed experience. While it’s not on the same level as the best in the genre, it’s still worth playing if you’ve already worked through the modern boomer shooter library. For fans of the genre looking to unleash some destruction without too much commitment, this game will scratch that itch—just don’t expect it to go down in boomer shooter history.
Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE Plus is a compelling blend of detective work, action, and fantasy that keeps players engaged from start to finish. The dark narrative and complex mysteries are perfectly complemented by fast-paced sequences and deep character development. With the added bonus of new content in the Plus edition, including the extra subchapters and performance upgrades, the game stands as a must-play for both mystery enthusiasts and fans of the Danganronpa series. If you’re ready to step into a world of endless rain and unsolved crimes, RAIN CODE Plus offers an immersive and unforgettable journey.
FAIRY TAIL: Beach Volleyball Havoc delivers a fun and chaotic arcade volleyball experience, especially for fans of the Fairy Tail universe. With its blend of magical power-ups and recognizable characters, the game certainly has its moments of excitement. However, it ultimately feels more like a mashup of over-the-top mechanics designed to add flair to what would otherwise be a straightforward sports title. While it captures some of the whimsical energy you’d expect from a game like Mario Strikers, it doesn’t offer much beyond the novelty of crazy magical abilities and familiar faces. The gameplay lacks the depth or polish to make it truly stand out, and without a narrative to anchor the experience, it can feel a bit hollow. If you’re looking for a lighthearted, magical twist on volleyball, this game will provide some fun—but don’t expect much more than that.
Ultimately, REYNATIS offers an unforgettable journey, combining narrative, strategy, and breathtaking visuals in a way that feels both refreshing and immersive, leaving players excited to discover which vision for Shibuya will triumph.
Funko Fusion has enough there for both children and adults to enjoy, and I think that it is definitely worth checking out.
Overall, Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports lacks game modes and its biggest issue is there is no option to play online. So, if you don’t have anyone to play with locally you are stuck competing against CPUs and the fun for that can only last so long.
The Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is a must-have for fans of the series or anyone who loves a good mystery. The blend of intricate storylines, well-written characters, and satisfying deductions make both games a joy to play. Whether you’re a returning fan excited to see Miles Edgeworth in HD, or a newcomer curious to experience a different side of the Ace Attorney world, this collection offers something for everyone. The updated visuals, quality-of-life improvements, and added modes enhance the experience without detracting from the original charm of the games.
Squirrel With a Gun delivers some funny combat and has some interesting puzzle solutions. Offering multiple solutions to a puzzle lets your creativity come to life. However, the game doesn’t do much to stand out from the other platformer games in the market. Unless you are interested in playing as a squirrel, there’s not much keeping you playing.
EA Sports FC 25 delivers a solid Soccer (Football) experience that balances new features with the series’ tried-and-true formula. Its refined physics, improved career modes, and fresh takes on Ultimate Team breathe life into the game, even if it doesn’t drastically revolutionize the genre. Fans looking for major innovations may be left wanting, but those who appreciate steady improvements will find FC 25 to be an enjoyable and immersive step forward in EA’s post-FIFA era. While not without its flaws, especially regarding monetization in Ultimate Team, FC 25 remains a must-play for football enthusiasts.
DATE A LIVE: Ren Dystopia presents several intriguing tales about what someone would do with three wishes. Multiple routes and endings provide different perspectives and lots of replay value. Unfortunately, this series assumes you have existing knowledge of the franchise, and ending routes can be unclear. Otherwise, it’s a great visual novel that provides hours of enjoyment.
