NHL 25 fails to enhance what NHL 24 did well and instead seems to fall in line with a yearly update title. The added depth to Franchise Mode is welcomed, but no other modes were enhanced in any real way.
Stellar Blade is a mind blowing adventure that does almost everything right, exceedingly well.
Alone In The Dark does a phenomenal job to return the franchise into the survival “horror” battle.
A terrifying experience with friends that excels at everything it does, The Outlast: Trials proves multiplayer horror can be something great.
Silent Hill: The Short Message potentially shows us the direction the franchise might go, but also seems to not understand what the games are about.
The team does a fantastic job of world building, while making a challenging and rewarding game. The game may start out as rather linear, but as you open it up and spend a few dozen hours in the game it really starts to excel at basically everything.
NHL 24 features a ton of minor tweaks and changes from the previous year, adding up to one excellent experience.
Eternights is one of the most thrilling and fun experiences I’ve had. It found a way to strengthen the action roguelike genre with the power of a dating sim. The inspirations from Persona are clear, but you won’t be disappointed in the slightest with this unique and fun adventure.
Immortals Of Aveum has many things going for it, but most importantly it finds a way to breathe fresh air into the FPS genre.
VR Skater offers an insanely tough learning curve, but offers a very rewarding experience if you tough it out. While the content is a little lacking for the price tag, the promised post launch content could very well set it over the top.
Amnesia: The Bunker is honestly a great horror experience that will get your heart racing. It’s a great self contained story in a horrific world of WWII.
