Kirby Air Riders is a unique concept that's committed to its oddities in the best sort of ways, and, as far as racing games go, the easy-to-pick-up-and-play but hard-to-master mantra is truer here than most games.
Mario Tennis Fever turns up the heat by adding in racquets that'll drive some players insane with how annoying they'll be, but it's all part of the fun, and if you want the strict tennis experience, the core of which is very solid, you can play it that way only if you wish.
Reanimal was hard to put down, with sensational pacing that builds tension and then plays out spectacular cinematic scenes
It's not one I'd say is for hardcore fans, but it's always interesting to see big IP taken in new directions, and God of War Sons of Sparta is a good little Metroidvania that'll help fill the hole of a new entry in the series for a little longer.
Ball x Pit is an addictive ball-breaking cross-genre sugar-rush that'll keep you up all night in the best ways as you keep going deeper, looking for the higher scores, and ways to improve your run.
I'm delighted to have now completed Bravely Default, as the story was fantastic, and I grew to love the characters. The grindiness of the RPG elements, as well as the second half of the game, might turn some players off, however, so I can only advise that it's worth sticking it out.
Mario Kart World is simply the best-looking, sounding, and playing Mario Kart game we've had. With new additions like doubling the player count of Knockout Tour, it's clear that Nintendo has plenty of ways to improve and expand this long-running franchise
I was surprised by which elements of Welcome Tour I ended up enjoying the most, even if this is ultimately an interactive encyclopedia for the Nintendo Switch 2.
A deeply impactful narrative, with characters you'll care about, and a world like nothing else, are the highlights of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
By slightly modifying the core gameplay while preserving the gunplay and fast-paced action, id Software ensures that each new release in the Doom series remains a blood-soaked must-play, even with Doom: The Dark Ages having mixed results with the additions of the titan and dragon.
I wasn't ready for the breadth of lore and world-building here that would have me both enamoured by this game, its characters, and its setting.
It wasn’t for me, and I can accept that. And sometimes, that’s perfectly okay.
This was one of the most exciting new Call of Duty launches in many years, mainly because it’s the first COD release since Xbox purchased Activision, but also because Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was doing some new and innovative things.
This is a gorgeous world with plenty of detail within levels that feels quite hollow and lacks both the excitement of exploring Horizon Zero Dawn and destroying the world, which is usually pieced together in a LEGO game.
Everyone should play Neva. With a story mode for anyone who hates combat and a narrative that can be taken at a surface level or delved further into, this is something exceptional gamers of all types and ages should be playing.
Help back by some clunky and tedious design elements, this is still a narrative worth sinking your claws into.
A magical journey from start to finish that hooked me from page to page.
A true must-play for 2024 and all PlayStation 5 owners, Astro Bot, rekindles a feeling of simplicity in the joy we can find in video games like nothing else this console generation.
It feels great to be in this purfect little cat-RPG world, and the smaller-scale RPG nature fulfilling my completions brain in a weekend is just what I need to release meow gamer purrs.
I’m happy to report that the game is as cute as it looks and has plenty of charm, adorable characters, and animal puns.
