9 / 10.0 - EA Sports UFC 6
Jun 11, 2026

UFC 6 is the best MMA game ever made, and it's not particularly close. The striking is viscerally satisfying in a way the series has never managed before, and the new Flow State system gives every fighter on the roster a genuine identity built around how they actually compete in real life. Career Mode has taken a massive leap forward, the online offering covers every type of player with five distinct modes, and the presentation on PS5 is nothing short of spectacular. The ground game still needs work, and the Fighter Pass remains an uncomfortable presence. But when Max Holloway enters Flow State in the third round and 20,000 fans at Madison Square Garden feel it before you do, none of that matters. This is the game MMA fans have been waiting for.

8 / 10.0 - Luna Abyss
Jun 6, 2026

Luna Abyss is a remarkably brave debut that understands that intense bullet-hell action means nothing without a world worth fighting for. While its limited four-weapon arsenal and rigid shield mechanics occasionally drag down the combat, the game heavily compensates with an incredibly oppressive atmosphere, superb sound design, and a genuine narrative mystique that keeps you hooked from the first minute. It carries the cracks of a debut, but it speaks with the voice of a seasoned veteran.

8.8 / 10.0 - 007 First Light
May 28, 2026

007 First Light is the Bond game the franchise has needed for fourteen years. A story that genuinely matters, melee combat with real weight, and a gadget system with actual consequences. The exploration segments drag more than they should, but when First Light lets Bond be Bond, it's hard to look away.

Directive 8020 is Supermassive Games at its most ambitious and its most inconsistent. The space setting and corporate paranoia themes work, the stealth has its moments, and the back half delivers genuine tension. But a slow start, rough voice acting, and a stealth system that never reaches its potential hold it back from being the leap forward the series needed. A solid 10 hours for Dark Pictures fans, a frustrating one for everyone else.

Beehive Studios has built one of the most tactically interesting creature-collectors in years, with a shared SP system that makes every team decision matter and a world bursting with visual personality. It's just a shame the story holds its best cards until the final stretch, and that a couple of clunky systems — Holoken Powers, mandatory crafting — get in the way of an otherwise memorable adventure.

May 22, 2026

WILL: Follow the Light has a genuinely compelling core: the loneliness of open water, lighthouse routines, and a father's grief searching for his missing family. When it leans into its sailing mechanics and atmospheric coastal design, it gets close to something special. But uneven pacing, stiff controls, and a town full of lifeless interactions keep pulling you away from the emotional story it clearly wants to tell. There's a better game hidden beneath the surface. It just doesn't stay there long enough to matter.

Apr 30, 2026

Lord of Hatred is the expansion Diablo IV needed to justify its existence, closing the Hatred Arc with a bold (if occasionally talkative) story, introducing one of the best-designed classes the franchise has seen in years with the Warlock, masterfully redefining the Skill Tree, and fixing long-standing itemization issues through the Horadric Cube and the Loot Filter. The narrative choices will divide the community, and the new wave event feels like a reskin, but the package as a whole works. If you walked away frustrated after Vessel of Hatred, this is the perfect excuse to return to Sanctuary. Lord of Hatred doesn't reinvent Diablo, but it gives it back its soul.

9 / 10.0 - Pragmata
Apr 14, 2026

Pragmata is Capcom firing on all cylinders with a brand-new IP that has no business being this good. Its dual hacking-and-shooting system turns every encounter into a frantic, deeply satisfying puzzle that rewards both reflexes and brainpower. Hugh and Diana form a duo that earns genuine emotional investment despite a predictable plot and a forgettable villain. The RE Engine delivers stunning visuals and rock-solid PC performance, and the bite-sized campaign begs to be replayed the moment credits roll. It's short, it's linear, and it's one of the best action games of 2026.

Mouse: P.I. For Hire is a shooter that wins you over through sheer personality. Fumi Games has crafted a world dripping with charm, from its rubberhose animation and original jazz soundtrack to death animations so creative they make you stop mid-firefight just to watch. The noir narrative keeps you guessing with constant twists, and Mouseburg feels like a place worth exploring even when everyone in it wants you dead. Where it stumbles is in its second half, as combat runs out of tricks and traversal abilities fail to deliver meaningful variety. Side missions are too scarce to matter, and the pacing loosens when it should tighten. But none of that erases the fact that this is one of the most distinctive and charming FPS experiences in years, a handcrafted love letter to noir, cartoons, and gaming itself that stays with you long after the credits roll.

7.2 / 10.0 - Starfield
Apr 11, 2026

Starfield's Free Lanes update and Terran Armada DLC add a generous amount of content to a game that desperately needed depth, not volume. The free update brings welcome quality-of-life improvements, a surprisingly fun land vehicle, and the cruise mode concept, though the latter feels like a band-aid over the game's fundamental structural issues. Terran Armada's $10 campaign is dragged down by repetitive incursions you can never fully disable, a forgettable villain faction, and excessive padding, though companion Delta and the Terran weapons are genuine highlights. The PS5 Pro performance is disappointing for a two-year-old title, with hard crashes at 60fps and inconsistent frame rates even in empty space. Starfield remains the most ambitious sci-fi sandbox on consoles, but ambition without polish only gets you so far. A better game is buried in here somewhere. This update just didn't dig deep enough to find it.

World of Warcraft: Midnight is a bold, double-edged sword that cuts deep into the franchise's 20-year history. While the comprehensive revamp of Silvermoon and the addition of a surprisingly deep player housing system are massive wins for the community, the expansion often stumbles over its own ambition. The controversial removal of combat addons reveals a default UI that isn't quite battle-ready, and the narrative occasionally trades subtlety for blunt fan service. However, the adrenaline-pumping Prey system and world-class encounter design prove that Blizzard is still capable of taking massive swings. It’s a dense, challenging, and unashamedly veteran-focused chapter that successfully revitalizes the old world, even if it leaves a few bruises along the way.

6 / 10.0 - WWE 2K26
Apr 1, 2026

WWE 2K26 delivers brutal, refined in-ring action and impressive visuals, but it's suffocated by an aggressive, grind-heavy monetization model. While the new match types and expanded roster are welcome, the "Ringside Pass" and a padded MyRise mode turn a solid wrestling simulator into a digital storefront that values your wallet more than your time.

6.5 / 10.0 - Reigns: The Witcher
Mar 31, 2026

What begins as a cleverly written, darkly humorous dive into Geralt's political nightmares quickly devolves into a frustrating chore. Reigns: The Witcher suffocates its brilliant narrative premise under a forced, clunky arcade combat system and an exhausting reliance on trial-and-error grinding. It's an amusing, short-lived novelty for die-hard fans of the franchise, but it completely strips away the agile, minimalist charm that made the original Reigns so addictive.

7.4 / 10.0 - Screamer
Mar 23, 2026

Milestone has crafted a visually arresting anime universe with a narrative depth rarely seen in the genre. However, underneath the stunning aesthetics and rich world-building lies a frustratingly convoluted twin-stick handling model. Screamer is a brave, beautiful arcade racer that unfortunately rewards tactical resource management far more than actual driving skill. A fascinating but deeply divisive ride.

7.9 / 10.0 - Crimson Desert
Mar 23, 2026

Crimson Desert is a game that knows how to make you feel small and wonder-struck, then immediately trips over itself trying to be everything at once. Pearl Abyss has built a technically impressive open world packed with systems, secrets, and genuine moments of discovery — but buries them under a incoherent story, frustrating boss design, padding that stretches 60 hours of content into 100, and visuals that rely heavily on post-processing to mask surprisingly modest character models and geometry up close. This is not a misunderstood gem waiting to find its audience. It's a competent, occasionally brilliant, fundamentally overdesigned action RPG from a studio making its first single-player game. The foundation is there. The execution isn't quite.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is a blood-soaked, neon-drenched riot that successfully strips away the modern bloat of the genre to deliver pure, unadulterated arcade carnage. While it lacks long-term depth and suffers from a thin mission count at launch, its brilliant vehicle-based combat and masterclass in 80s horror atmosphere make it an essential co-op experience for those who value 'game feel' over endless grinding. It’s loud, it’s messy, and it’s exactly the kind of high-octane fun the doctor—or the Master of Horror—ordered.

8.4 / 10.0 - Marathon
Mar 9, 2026

Marathon is a masterclass in mechanical precision and atmospheric world-building, proving once again that Bungie remains the gold standard for first-person combat. While a cluttered interface and steep learning curve create early friction, the sheer tension of its extraction loops and the lethality of its AI provide a refreshing, high-stakes evolution for the genre. It’s a bold, stylish, and unforgiving return to form that rewards tactical patience as much as raw twitch reflexes.

8.5 / 10.0 - Pokémon Pokopia
Mar 9, 2026

Pokémon Pokopia is a refreshingly tranquil departure from the franchise's usual formula, successfully blending the addictive loop of Dragon Quest Builders with the undeniable charm of the Pokémon world. While it suffers from some tedious inventory management and a lackluster multiplayer mode, the sheer satisfaction of transforming a barren wasteland into a thriving, colorful habitat alongside your favorite creatures is immense. It is a slow-burn experience that prioritizes domestic coziness and creative progression over high-stakes battling, making it one of the most unique and engaging spin-offs in years.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is a mechanical masterpiece struggling within a hollow narrative. While its deep genetic breeding and the innovative Habitat Restoration system offer an unparalleled level of monster customization, the story fails to capitalize on its own high-stakes premise of wartime diplomacy and ecological ruin. The turn-based combat remains a brilliant translation of the series' signature rhythm, but the experience is occasionally marred by punishing late-game difficulty spikes and static, underdeveloped companions. It is a dream come true for theory-crafters and "Monstie" enthusiasts, but those seeking a compelling RPG narrative may find themselves chasing a ghost.
