A decent amount of content and the games, while varying in quality, are as fun as ever if lacking in depth. Still an experience that depends on how many enthusiastic friends you have around, unless you get hooked on the online mode.

While it could be said that all DLC is just more of the same directed towards diehard fans, coming back to the game after all these years to play the DLC might find yourself spending more time on the main game. It’s a great reason to revisit the game for those who haven’t gotten their fill yet.

It excels at creating a beautiful yet oppressive world with inventive puzzles that contribute to world building and an interesting enough story, but the primitive stealth might turn off a lot of players before they get to the good stuff.

Short and sweet and gorgeous to boot, this co-op adventure while brief actually outshines the two games it takes inspiration from.

4.5 / 5.0 - Control Resonant
Sep 18, 2026

Topping the first Control is no easy feat, and while it’s debatable if it has, the fact remains this is one of the most unique experiences, a game that trusts you enough not to spoon feed you everything and rather give you enough breathing space to figure things out yourself.

A sprawling, epic and very ambitious journey that nevertheless requires you to like and be good at tactical games, but that rewards you handsomely the more you engage with its myriad systems.

3.5 / 5.0 - Marvel's Wolverine
Sep 15, 2026

A glitzy Wolverine game with a fun and violent fighting system, and some stealth, that is let down by too much hand holding and not enough faith in the player.

In a reversal of what the first collection achieved, this collection is light on content but high on quality, as MGS4 is presented in fluid 60fps and sharp visuals. While it might be the weakest mainline entry, it’s still a must try and this version is as good as any.

Capcom continues its streak of great looking and playing games with Onimusha Way of the Sword that blends history and fiction, action and comedy and swordplay and light puzzles.

While it starts out strong as a less cinematic but still stunning Uncharted line experience, the final act drags on so much with the story spilling its wheels and the stakes sequences seemingly stuck in a Groundhog Day loop, the game squanders a lot of its initial splendor towards the end.

A competent update to a classic that is predictably starting to show its age, best played co-operatively. A short and sweet trip down memory lane.

An expansion that truly expands on the base game and adds immensely to it. This Doom revival has truly given us very different experiences that nonetheless are excellent in their own ways.

A well done shooter looter that adds enough Splatoon DNA to distinguish it from the rest with enough difficulty levels to appeal to everyone and short enough levels to make it flexible.

There’s nothing quite like it when it comes to charm and inventiveness making this a default buy even if not every game hits.

A classic brought to life in a gorgeous and faithful fashion that preserves its replayable arcadey feel and its colorful cast of characters.

A complete package and the best handheld version of still one of the best and slickest action games available

Think of it as a huge, and very interesting, visual novel that offers you the freedom to sample as much, or as little, of it as you want, although the lack of sign posting means it's sometimes an uneven one.

How much you'll like this will depend on how open you are for the series to change and be influenced, while still feeling like part of the series. If you do, you'll be rewarded with a blisteringly fast and bloody time.

The game builds on what Yakuza: Like a Dragon laid the foundation for, with a host of improvements and a much larger game. A proper send off for Kiryu and a new beginning for Kasuga.
