Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 is another fantastic entry into this wonderful series, with Inti Creates just upping the ante with every instalment.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is an amazing entry into the already wonderful series. It reaches a new standard of storytelling, combat and customisation within the Xeno series There are a few technical mishaps here and there but not enough to dampen the overall experience. JRPG fans can’t miss this stellar adventure that’s one for the ages.
Coromon does pay homage to big titles in the monster-tamer genre but it does feature its own unique system and even improves on past mechanics.
Live A Live is a masterclass in how to remake a classic title that is being released in other territories for the first time.
Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium is a fantastic collection, introducing players to games they might not have heard of.
Stray is a fantastic first game from BlueTwelve Studio, that is an experience unlike any other.
Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series is a charming walk down memory lane with these classic titles looking the best they ever have.
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak does a great job of building upon some of Rise’s gaming mechanics. Some may find it a shame or even weird that the heavily advertised Rampage didn’t receive any updates, however, Sunbreak is huge and feels like it could be a full game on its own with the new features being enough to bring back players for a long time.
DNF Duel is another stunning fighter from Arc System Works that offers a unique experience setting it aside from other fighters. Its simplified fight mechanics make DNF Duel an accessible fighter whilst still being complex enough to offer a challenging experience for members of the Fight Game Community.
Redout 2 is an impressive anti-gravity racer that is visually stunning but does have a somewhat steep learning curve.
Capcom Fighting Collection is a fighting game fan's dream come true with these classic titles being perfectly ported whilst maintaining all their original features.
Sonic Origins is a great way to enjoy these classic titles for the first time, no matter how you play. The updated visuals and extra gameplay options really accentuate the amount of work that has been poured into this collection of gems. There are a few design choices that could’ve been implemented a lot better, however, Sega has released a fun anthology with plenty of replay value.
Final Vendetta is a great homage to classic Beat ‘em up from the 90s that will really please fans of the genre.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is not only a fantastic follow-up to Turtles in Time but an amazing celebration of the entire franchise.
The Hinokami Chronicles isn’t complex enough to challenge fighters like Dragon Ball FighterZ or Guilty Gear, but it is a fun title that will really please fans of the series.
Souldiers is a fantastic adventure that manages to find the right balance between its different elements.
Mario Strikers: Battle League is a great entry into the series with Next Level Games and Nintendo finding the right balance between skills and chaos.
Touken Ranbu Warriors doesn’t add much to the Musou but its accessible gameplay may make this a good entry point for newcomers.
Dolmen is a brutal but ok action RPG that feels part space opera part action movie. The challenging gameplay and detailed customisation are fully welcome allowing for a lot of strategic thinking.
Evil Dead: The Game is a great addition to the survival horror asymmetric multiplayer genre, whilst it may not add anything drastically new, fans of the series will simply love the attention paid to recreating this iconic lore.
