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.

While Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is able to surpass its two predecessors in just about everything from gameplay to story, the PC port is in desperate need of optimization patches.
Synduality: Echoes of Ada is an extraction shooter that, while really easy to get into, might be difficult to stick with considering its bland art style and simplistic gameplay that ends up not having enough depth.
Blade Chimera is one of the most good-looking and engaging platformer titles out there. It easily taps into its classical influences while still maintaining its own identity. At worst, it can sometimes be an annoying game that hides crucial information. If you can overlook some of its flaws, Blade Chimera will be well worth your time.
Supernatural offers a unique horror experience with an interesting story, multiple endings, and a short runtime that encourages replayability. Just be warned that there's plenty of gore to deal with.

Throne and Liberty might end up being a fine MMORPG in the long term, but currently, it has little in the way of new or interesting ideas to draw players away from other heavyweights in the genre.
The PC release of Final Fantasy 16 is fantastic, with decent performance and stable frame rates. The fact that it also manages to be a fun action game in its own rights also helps.
