Battlefield 6 is undeniable proof that the franchise is back and arguably in the best state it’s been. Despite an underbaked campaign, Battlefield 6’s multiplayer delivers fantastic visuals, immersive audio design and robust destruction that offer a thrill no matter your role in the battlefield.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a worthy competitor to the Mario Kart throne. Offering a seamless CrossWorlds mechanic that showcases its audio and visual prowess with responsive, satisfying racing. While sticking largely to genre conventions, Sonic and the team have nailed the core racing fundamentals.
Borderlands 4 is a looter-shooter worthy of your time if you are a long-time fan who is in for the gunplay and varied build crafting fantasies. However, for Destiny leavers like me and others who crave good storytelling and enticing lore, it might come as a big disappointment.
Hollow Knight: Silksong feels like a masterfully baked cake — crafted with time, love, and the finest ingredients — only for someone to deliberately dump salt and pickles on top, ruining it in the process. Beneath this mess lies the heart of a truly compelling game, but you’ll have to scrape away the flaws to taste it.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is one of the best stealth action games ever. It’s a stark reminder of how good it was in the recent past and how good it still can be for the future of the genre if not the franchise. But there’s a missed opportunity of expanding the lore with the power of this generation’s consoles and a lack of major content for returning players that would elevate and provide new experiences for fans of the series.
Cronos: The New Dawn is a survival horror worthy of your time if you are a fan of the genre. It also manages to offer an exceptional experience for newcomers and horror non-fans with its intriguing story, dreadfully gorgeous world design and haunting environmental sounds.
Lost Soul Aside has flashes of spectacle and ambition but fails to deliver on its inspirations. It borrows style without soul, offering only momentary highs in a sea of monotony. Fans of the genre will quickly notice its lack of substance, and newcomers may enjoy it briefly before realizing far better alternatives exist.
Bendy: Lone Wolf doesn’t offer enough to stand out in the 2025 horror scene. In fact, it feels outdated compared to some PS1 games. New horror games should push the genre forward and innovate on what has come before, not take us backwards. This game has all the ingredients needed to be great: a unique art style, an intriguing world and skilled developers with the vision to create something special. However, as it stands now, it’s just a new addition to the Bendy IP, albeit a newfangled one.
Echoes of the End is a good choice if you are a fan of God of War (2018) and the Tomb Raider series. It may secure a future spot for itself among fan-favorites, only if it manages to fix the roughness around its combat edges and build upon its already intriguing fantastical world.
Mafia: The Old Country has a fantastic story filled with a great cast of characters set in a authentic Sicilian setting. Hangar 13 adds new gameplay elements but these are outweighed by dated and repetitive gameplay design and an underused world begging to be explored. But despite these flaws, I couldn’t put this game down – which is proof of just how gripping this cinematic story is.
The Chinese souls-like Wuchang: Fallen Feathers delivers fast and fluid combat as well as a deep customization system. Its inventive mechanics and boss variety shine, but the game stumbles in narrative, exploration, and polish. It’s promising entry in the Souls-like genre, but not what I would put on the top of anyone’s priority list at the moment.
Ready or Not is a thrilling tactical first-person shooter that offers tense situations backed with genre-defining audio design. The single-player campaign is clunky and leaves a lot to be desired, but when you round up a squad of friends, Ready or Not becomes one of the best multiplayer shooters around.
Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is definitely a great choice if you are a fan of anime arena fighters. It comes with fun new additions to a solid title, even when it doesn’t necessarily reinvent the wheel.
The Edge of Fate delivers an interesting new approach in many aspects, but only for either new players or extremely hardcore fans that don’t mind the tedious farming. However, with the endless, unrewarding grind and poorly designed destination, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed as a ten-year Destiny veteran.
There really is nothing like Death Stranding 2, whether that is for better or worse. There are so many great ideas and beautiful moments here that are impressive on their own; they just feel disjointed and never fully come together in a way that makes sense, both mechanically and narratively.
Came for the action. Stayed for the kicks.
Deliver At All Costs provides a fun arcade delivery loop, but the uninteresting story, bland exploration, and unrewarding systems completely weigh it down. Less is more, and Deliver At All Costs focuses on all the wrong areas too much, delivering a disappointing experience.
While not groundbreaking in terms of its survival elements or sci-fi approach, The Alters does stand out as one of the unique experiences not just in its genre, but also in the gaming industry at large. Through its unique story presentation and simple gameplay, it strikes a favourable balance that appeals to both survival veterans and newcomers alike.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is a prime example of how to take a beloved game and update it for the modern audience without sacrificing any of its core vision. Quality of life improvements, a massive visual uplift, and a levelling rework help usher in a wave of players to experience one of the best RPGs ever made.
Even before playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the game sparked conversations and excitement reminiscent of a golden age in JRPGs. Through nostalgic atmosphere, soulful writing, dynamic combat, and daring originality, it delivers an experience that both honours and reinvents the genre. From optional bonfire scenes filled with genuine acting to a combat loop that rewards mastery, every moment feels handcrafted and purposeful. Even before playing, the experience begins—and long after finishing, it lingers.
