Painkiller combines DOOM’s speed, Back 4 Blood’s cooperative chaos, and its own legendary flair for carnage. The refined weapon system, deep progression, and atmospheric visuals make it a must-play for fans of high-intensity shooters. Though brief in length, its sheer entertainment value and co-op replayability secure its place as one of the best action titles of the year.
Dead Take understands that true fear comes not from monsters, but from the reflection of our own doubts and desires. It’s elegant, unnerving, and utterly captivating. With its breathtaking visuals, emotionally charged performances, and a story that prioritizes slow-burn tension over cheap scares, Dead Take stands as one of the best psychological horror titles in recent memory. A few technical flaws and punishing puzzles slightly dull its polish, but its mastery of atmosphere and storytelling make it a haunting experience worth exploring.
With ICE-Q 2.0 at its core, NHL 26 delivers smarter AI, more authentic skating, and a Be A Pro mode that finally feels meaningful. While a few visual shortcomings remain, the combination of realism, depth, and pure hockey excitement makes this one of the best entries in the series’ modern era.

Karma: The Dark World is a haunting and visually breathtaking psychological thriller. With stunning presentation, top-tier voice acting, and a deeply emotional narrative, it stands as one of the most memorable and meaningful gaming experiences in years. While its slower pace and heavy story focus may not appeal to everyone, for fans of atmospheric and narrative-driven adventures, it’s nothing short of remarkable.
Hirogami blends origami artistry with platforming creativity, offering a relaxing and visually stunning adventure filled with clever transformations. Its gorgeous presentation, great sound design, and beginner-friendly gameplay make it easy to love, even if uneven difficulty and repetitive music hold it back from greatness.
Otherskin delivers strong world design, striking visuals, and fun morphing mechanics that feel pulled from the golden age of adventure gaming. But severe optimization problems, repetitive combat, and unpolished gameplay prevent it from reaching its full potential. If patched, it could become a cult favourite for now, it’s a beautiful but broken journey.

Stellar Blade is a flawed but undeniably compelling action game. Its narrative and characters leave much to be desired, but when it comes to visual spectacle and exhilarating combat, it’s razor-sharp.

And at its heart, World remains the definitive party racer, a game anyone can pick up and enjoy, whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time player.
I am rating this game 9/10 for its brilliant writing, dynamic characters, and the sheer silly joy it brings. Who knew being in a romantic relationship with Existential Dread could be this much fun?!
Mindseye wants to be a cyberpunk thriller. It wants to challenge players with ideas about AI, control, and identity. But instead of exploring those themes with depth and care, it trades them for predictable set pieces, forgettable characters, and unremarkable gameplay. There’s a great game buried somewhere deep in Mindseye’s concept. But what shipped feels like a mid-generation Xbox 360 game, not a modern narrative-driven experience. It’s not offensive or broken beyond repair—it’s just unambitious, uninspired, and instantly forgettable.
A Love Letter to the Genre. Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is more than just a compilation—it's a preservation project, a training ground, and an arcade party all rolled into one. With smooth online play, thoughtful upgrades, and a roster that’s second to none, this is a must-have for fighting game fans across generations.
DOOM: The Dark Ages is a brutal, thrilling, and visually spectacular entry in the franchise. It offers one of the best combat systems DOOM has seen, thanks largely to the Shield Saw and refined parrying. Despite a few pacing issues and some repetitive encounters in the final chapters, the game remains a worthy addition to the DOOM legacy. For fans of DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal, this is a no-brainer. It’s a rich, action-packed FPS that proves the Slayer’s fury burns just as bright in the past as it does in the future.
Whether you're playing solo or with a partner, this is an adventure worth taking. It’s hilarious, heartfelt, and consistently surprising—a cathartic takedown of corporate culture, served with a smile, a slap, and a whole lot of goo. A vibrant, satirical, and joyfully absurd platforming adventure with heart, humour, and heaps of alien charm. Whether you're here for laughs, traversal, or co-op chaos, Revenge of the Savage Planet delivers a refreshing dose of weird in all the best ways.
A confident, stylish return for one of fighting game history’s most iconic franchises. Deep, accessible, and packed with features, City of the Wolves howls with potential.
