Mortal Shell 2 is a great example of a sequel that understands what worked in the original and improves on nearly every part of it. It has its problems, but its combat and exploration can easily stand alongside far more high-profile Soulslikes.

“Beast of Reincarnation has some good ideas, but it keeps spinning them until there’s no life left. The fun combat, original movement and Koo carry the experience as much as they can, yet the recycling and repetitiveness dull this beast’s fangs far too early.

The Adventures of Elliot proves it can step outside their comfort zone and deliver a gorgeous, compact adventure that makes up in heart what it lacks in scope.

007: First Light isn't a flawless game, but it flawlessly understands what makes Bond so unique, and no game has ever fit us into the tuxedo quite this convincingly.

A blend of oppressive atmosphere and raw mechanical thrill you rarely find these days. Saros isn't just a better Returnal - it's proof that Housemarque has no equal in this genre.

Legacy of Kain: Ascendance tries to revive one of the most revered game series, but does so through controversial narrative choices, bare‑bones mechanics, and a runtime that barely justifies the game’s existence.

Crimson Desert offers one of the most impressive open worlds of this generation and stunning combat that rewards creativity. However, a bland protagonist and shallow story reveal that Pearl Abyss is still learning to walk outside MMO territory.

Romeo is a Dead Man isn’t a disaster, but it’s not Suda51 in his full form either. You get heaps of style, a few great ideas, and a solid jolt of violence - but once you scratch beneath the surface, the game doesn’t have much to stand on.

More than a sequel, this is a snapshot of Team Ninja learning in real time: a bolder structure and smarter flexibility wrapped around the same razor-tuned combat. The story and presentation still lag behind, but when the rhythm clicks, very few studios hit this kind of action high.

Age of Imprisonment might not push the boundaries of any genre, but at its best, it works as a surprisingly cohesive mashup of Zelda mythology and Warriors-style chaos. It’s not for everyone and doesn’t aim wide, but it hits its target audience dead-on.

After a series of failed resurrections, Painkiller returns without a head, a tail, a soul, or a single reason for anyone to care. Maybe it’s finally time to let it rest in peace.

Bloodlines 2 has style, it has fangs, it has potential, but it lacks the depth that would make us want to return to play again. As a vampire game, it leaves a solid impression, but as a sequel to a classic, it doesn’t come close to quenching the thirst.

Borderlands 4 once again proves this series still delivers hours of pure chaos and over-the-top fun, especially with friends. The gunplay is fantastic, the open world vibrant and full of things to do, but the formulaic story, bland villains, and technical hiccups show Gearbox still hasn’t fired all its shots.

Hell is Us combines mystery, exploration, and a striking atmosphere into an experience that lingers in memory, even when it's held back by repetitive combat and a lack of enemy variety.

If bugs and technical clumsiness don't put you off, Tainted Grail offers more authenticity and soul than its more famous competitors.

Blades of Fire is an RPG that knows where its priorities lie, but everything surrounding its mechanical core remains underdeveloped, failing to leave a lasting impression.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows doesn’t change the rules of the game, but it showcases the series in its best form yet. Feudal Japan fits it like a glove, and the balance between stealth and action has never felt more natural. With a carefully crafted world and thoughtful mechanics, the blade of this series is sharp once again.

Dynasty Warriors Origins revitalizes the series, blending chaotic action with the modern storytelling and mechanics, making it the most refined entry to date.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot finally brings what many fans have been asking for and takes the iconic franchise into new territory with a more open world and a ton of RPG mechanics. While this fan-service increase in power level definitely transforms the well-known story into a new form, it's still far from going Ultra Instinct.
Synth Riders isn't worse nor is it better than Beat Saber. It's its own VR rhythm beast that will appeal to a different kind of audience. If you can't resist some good retro-inspired, electro music and a Tron-esque neon aesthetic - this is definitely a game for you. You'll most certainly have plenty of fun and could even lose a pound or two in the process.
