Reanimal is exactly what you might expect from the original Little Nightmares team, and yet, wondrous in its own right. Like venturing down the rabbit hole of unrelenting terror, it's an experience that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 is a great way to experience one of the more fun stories in the series thanks to the new and improved gameplay.
Romeo is a Dead Man has many fundamental issues, which is a shame because its sense of style, and allure make for a uniquely surreal adventure.
RIDE 6 is the motorcycling series at its most complete, where worthwhile onboarding, progression with momentum, and an overall passion for two-wheel machinery outshines uneven presentation and a festival setting which misses the mark.
Nioh 3 doesn't settle for iterative improvements. Instead, it pulls together Team Ninja's best mechanics from past entries, folds in welcome touches from its other games, and backs it all up with genuinely strong new additions that feel mechanically sound and consistently engaging.
Whether it will bring on those who couldn't get through the original or not, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined is a finely honed role-playing game and a fitting retake on a divisive classic.
Very few games have mechanics that sing in such unison like Cairn, much less with such a unique voice. Whether you're a fan of the genre, an adventure junkie or seeking a challenge, make the climb.
Whether you're judging it on its own merits or comparing it to the very best on the market, Highguard has little to offer, and even less to keep you hooked.
Code Vein II is a fantastic game and a clear improvement on much of what made the first one great. That said, it also brings back a few lingering frustrations from its predecessor, issues that really should have been addressed and are hard to ignore. Even so, it's a strong addition to this year's lineup of action titles, and one that can keep you entertained for a long time.
2XKO is a phenomenal free-to-play fighting game that puts its best foot forward thanks to its depth of gameplay that won't immediately scare newcomers away because of good tutorials. It also helps that it's visually gorgeous and already has a strong roster to start out with.
If you want to revisit the glory days on the PS1 with a cult classic tactical title, you can't go wrong with Front Mission 3 remake.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake is just as impressive now as it was back when it first released, touting blistering combat, an iconic setting excellently brought to life, astounding visuals, and compelling and ambitious storytelling. Its Switch 2 release might not offer a 60 FPS option at launch, but this is still a great way to play a spectacular game.
Arknights: Endfield is unlike anything else in the market, even if the sweeping premise feels admittedly low-key due to the writing, and combat desperately needs more depth.
Brokenlore: Unfollow is a solid horror title that's quite easy to recommend but hard to process. It doesn't pull any punches and that's a good thing. It's enough to make you ignore its minor quirks and is sure to have you wondering about what's coming at you next as you progress through the adventure.
A solid game in its own right with a uniquely gorgeous aesthetic, MIO: Memories in Orbit is marked by bizarre design choices and a lack of variety to combat.
Code Violet is not worth recommending to survival horror fans. None of its elements work to make it stand out in a crowded space, and this one is going to be forgotten quite easily. You'd be wise to save your cash for another of 2026's offerings.
Defying all traditional game design conventions like its predecessors, Pathologic 3 offers a consistently compelling journey of morality in the face of death.
From the Ashes is Frontiers of Pandora at its best. So'lek is a strong lead, the story goes darker, and the new skills and third-person flow make combat and stealth feel sharper than ever.
Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road does so many things right it's easy to ignore its flaws, but they are there and could be deal breakers if you only have a passing interest in either football or the anime that inspired this game. However, give it a try and you're going to see why the IP is so popular. It's a chilled-out, if rather expensive, option for football fans looking for something different to play.
Terminator 2D: No Fate doesn't capture every single little detail from the classic film, and the controls certainly have their quirks. Nevertheless, it's a fun side-scroller with enough game modes to keep you coming back.
