Slime Rancher 2 not only feels like a great sequel that builds on foundations laid with the original, but also a great game in its own right.
A fine addition to a young genre, Survivor adds smart twists, most notably its level-based structure; however, unlike the mainline Deep Rock Galactic, it's single-player only.
Assassin's Creed Shadow: Claws of Awaji feels like an excellent refinement of the base game with a small but dense new island, more focused story, and most of the fat from the base game trimmed out.
Lost Soul Aside has the foundations of a great action game with strong combat, but those strengths are buried beneath an inconsequential story and noticeable polish issues.
While Midnight Murder Club has some clever ideas and decent core gameplay, the lack of a player base makes it more likely that the game will be killed off before it can recover.
Echoes of the End offers an engaging couple of days of play, thanks to its intriguing story setup and well-paced mix of combat and puzzles.
Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings Game is an excellent way to take a break between playing more intensive titles. While fans of Tolkien's works might find the gameplay to be interesting, there isn't much to chew on when it comes to the story.
The Enhanced Edition isn't a major overhaul, some original issues like the clunky UI and awkward camera still persist. In return, you get improved visuals and high-resolution textures. But even with its flaws, Neverwinter Nights 2 and its Mask of the Betrayer expansion continue to offer exceptional storytelling that holds up remarkably well. Play it for the nostalgia.
Overture is precisely what Lies of P always needed, more of the same, in the best possible way.
RoadCraft feels like the culmination of everything Saber Interactive learned while making its previous simulation games. Its vast variety of vehicles all feel incredibly fun to drive around, and rebuilding a place that got wrecked by natural disasters can be incredibly rewarding.
Even after arriving six years after the original, The Sinking City Remastered still feels like a rough gem, its investigative mechanics shine, but they're dulled by clunky combat, weak stealth, and a progression system that leans too heavily on uninspired, combat.
Post Trauma is an interesting experiment in the horror genre that tries to bring back classic gameplay styles to a modern age. Despite this, there are still strange puzzles to deal with, and the first-person segments feel counter-productive to the excellent atmosphere created by fixed camera angles.
La Quimera feels like an ambitious game that was let down by time constraints during development. While there are bones of a good game in there, the general lack of quality in most of its aspects make it difficult to recommend.
Tempest Rising is a wonderful throwback to a genre that often feels forgotten in the modern age. With two well thought-out factions and great gameplay, it feels like the modern incarnation of Command & Conquer that has been missing in the modern gaming landscape.
Forever Skies offers a fun narrative survival adventure with a unique spin on how your home base operates. Sadly, its survival mechanics feel unnecessary and its combat is quite boring.
The PC release of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is the definitive version of the game.

Dollhouse: Behind the Broken Mirror features an interesting premise but just about every aspect of playing it makes it a monotonous experience.
While WWE 2K25 tries to be more than just a yearly roster update thanks to its new features, the game tends to trip over itself with its ambitious new stories, while also hamstringing the PC release with strange decisions like hard-capped frame rates and locking cutscenes to 30 FPS.
Rise of the Ronin's PC release is marred by performance issues which should hopefully be fixed through some patches focused on optimization. Underneath, however, there's still a game with excellent combat, albeit with a bland story and quest design.
