Animal Well's deep secrets and arresting atmosphere will suck you down the rabbit hole.
Stellar Blade is a masterclass in style, but it's lacking substance.
Endless Ocean: Luminous’ calming ocean exploration and lovely multiplayer components wear thin due to slow progression hooks that turn every aspect of it into a long chore. With tons of features from previous installments missing, anyone who wants to see its miniscule story to its end will need to tread a lot of water to find the pearls.
Another Crab's Treasure utilizes its charming setting and assist mode options to become one of the most approachable Soulslikes ever.
Sand Land is a definitive adaption of a great Akira Toriyama manga, but just fine as a game.
Tales of Kenzera: Zau tells an emotionally impactful story reinforced by creative design decisions that put a physical feeling to abstract emotions. Its struggles lie in its approach to the Metroidvania genre, as its surprisingly straightforward structure sometimes undercuts the winding tale of acceptance. It’s an imperfect debut, but that’s fitting for a game about something as messy as grief.
As a Suikoden successor, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is faithful to a fault.
Though Harold Halibut leaves me with a lot to pick at, it’s a fitting debut for what’s sure to become one of gaming’s most exciting new studios. Like Harold himself, Slow Bros. finds itself pushing gaming’s mundane comfort zone into the stratosphere with an approach that few will dare to replicate. It’s a bold risk; I’m sure the studio could have made a lot of commercially viable games in the 14 years it took to put this together. But why settle for stagnation?
Children of the Sun stumbles on story, but its unnerving hyper violence hits its mark.
South Park: Snow Day! brings the cartoon’s up-and-down foray into gaming full circle. The co-op adventure underwhelms with sloppy action, repetitive combat, and a poorly implemented roguelite structure. Fans of the show’s first few seasons may get some laughs from its throwback humor, but the fun setup gets flushed down the drain like Mr. Hankey.
Princess Peach: Showtime! is a charming start to a new series, even if it feels like a dress rehearsal for the real show.
Rise of the Ronin has an excellent parrying system that makes its Soulslike gameplay feel challenging, yet fair compared to its contemporaries.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is an exhilarating, if occasionally frustrating, RPG full of dynamic player-driven moments.
Alone in the Dark is the confidently silly horror remake the 1992 classic deserves.
Unicorn Overlord is the strategy RPG fans of the genre have been waiting for.
WWE 2K24 finishes the wrestling series' comeback story with its best installment yet.
Penny's Big Breakaway isn't one of the genre's greats, but it's a very unique and fun 3D platformer.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a phenomenal second chapter of what's shaping up to be an all-time great game trilogy.
Skull and Bones turns the Golden Age of Piracy, one of the most exciting periods in history, into a mundane and plodding experience.
Helldivers 2 is one of the most entertaining co-op games you can get on PS5.
