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.
Pioneers of Pagonia has made several meaningful improvements since launching in Early Access nearly two years ago, and it's now well worth your time.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond nails the fundamentals with excellent sound design, striking visuals, tight controls, a strong art style, and rock-solid technical performance, but the level design doesn't hit the same highs, and the NPC chatter can start to grate.
ROUTINE may have been a long time coming, but it's definitely well worth the experience now that it's finally here, especially for fans of the horror genre. It keeps you immersed at all times thanks to its lack of UI and full-body awareness.
You wouldn't think a glass being on a quest to eat the moon and finally sleep could be so relatable, but you'd be wrong. Topped off by some fantastic skateboarding and an incredible soundtrack, Skate Story shouldn't be missed.
The Forsaken Hollows is pretty much a given for any fan of Nightreign, even if the lack of new weapons stuns the replay value.
Sleep Awake is a solid game whose story, visuals, and audio design are excellent. The experience is going to have you invested in it from start to finish but isn't likely to have you returning back to it once you're done. That's because of a relatively simple gameplay loop that focuses on traversal and puzzle solving over outright horror, making this an examination of a complex premise that doesn't push its boundaries far enough to stand out.
Red Dead Redemption's current-gen debut does a lot to improve on the original experience, but it isn't enough to make this one worthy of the systems it's running on. Although it is the definitive way to play the game, this is a title that deserved a full-fledged remake.
Despite a compromised controller and patchy console polish, moments of transcendent wonder keep Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 aloft on PS5.
Rather than reinvent the wheel that its predecessors spun, Octopath Traveler 0 adapts the mobile-only Champions of the Continent into a full-fledged RPG with lots to do.
You would think adapting Sung Jinwoo's rise to power would be easy, especially given its action-heavy focus, but Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive will prove you terribly wrong.
Kirby Air Riders realizes the full potential of its predecessor, delivering a chaotic, colourful and vibrant experience that is not only overflowing with enough content to keep you hooked for dozens of hours, but is unique and enjoyable enough to make sure that you don't question whether the time you're clocking in is time well spent.
A loving homage to the Marvel Comics of old, a fitting adaptation of the Annihilation Saga and an incredible beat 'em up in its own right, Marvel Cosmic Invasion is simply fantastic.
As a spiritual successor to Project CARS, Project Motor Racing takes a major step forward in car handling and environmental feel, but at full price, its limited content and lack of guidance make it an underwhelming experience.
A.I.L.A. is a fantastic looking game that makes a great first impression. However, spending a few hours with it is enough to expose some of its flaws, including strange puzzles and a lack of coherence between the storytelling and its many different horror experiences.
Total Chaos brings enough to the table to be worth trying, despite minor issues that may affect your enjoyment depending on how much they matter to you. For the most part, though, it's a challenging survival horror experience that's well-designed and consistently focused on building fear and tension.
Of Ash and Steel isn't trying to be a huge triple-A adventure, but while committing to its own vision of a Gothic-like RPG, it has plenty of its own problems to sort out first.
Initially full of potential, Heart Machine's latest eventually runs out of gas when it's not stumbling off some awkward combat issues.
Escape From Tarkov might have been one of the first major extraction shooters, but the genre as a whole still has a lot to learn from its core gameplay and how it builds up tension.
