Blue Prince is a singular game since there isn't really anything else like it out there. Because of this, along with how well it executes on its ideas, it is an incredibly easy game to recommend to just about anyone.
Absolum is absolutely recommended for beat 'em up fans thanks to the pedigree of its developers. It's also a surprisingly deep rogue-lite with a well-developed world, bolstered all the more by its incredible presentation.
Color me surprised but the newest Battlefield is genuinely good. With four balanced classes, steady progression, and a strong campaign, it's a refined and content-rich entry that should keep both veterans and newcomers coming back for more.
As the "definitive" version of its 2017 platformer, Yooka-Replaylee balances smooth controls and stunning visuals with annoying humor, haphazard levels, and underwhelming challenge.
Little Nightmares III is definitely worth a try, bringing a unique brand of horror and platforming puzzle action to the table in an instalment that builds on the franchise's best features.
Even with minimal additions, this collection's brilliance lies in reminding us why these adventures defined 3D platforming.
Digimon Story: Time Stranger follows up on Cyber Sleuth in some solid ways but falters heavily with its narrative, characters, and exploration.
Alien: Rogue Incursion is a decent game, but it feels like one that should have launched alongside its sequel to deliver a more cohesive and fleshed-out experience. Survios' effort to adapt its VR title for consoles works well enough, yet the result is a fairly standard take on action-horror. It doesn't do much that hasn't been done before, and no matter how terrifying the Xenomorphs are, they can't disguise that fact.
Nearly three decades later, Final Fantasy Tactics still stands tall as the pinnacle of tactical RPG design. The Ivalice Chronicles refines its strengths with modern updates, even if a few minor flaws hold it back from perfection.
Slime Rancher 2 not only feels like a great sequel that builds on foundations laid with the original, but also a great game in its own right.
Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist and the White Guardian isn't a revolutionary addition to the RPG genre, but nails down its execution well enough to be an entertaining game in its own right. The alchemy system is surprisingly deep while its combat mechanics are decent for an evening of fun without the need to master enemy attack patterns and party windows.
Improving and expanding on everything that made the first game so memorable, Hades 2 is an even more epic rogue-lite journey and Supergiant's best work yet.
While fans of the original may initially find it more iterative than evolutionary, Atsu's quest for vengeance is an incredible new tale from Sucker Punch that expands on Tsushima in all the best ways.
A fine addition to a young genre, Survivor adds smart twists, most notably its level-based structure; however, unlike the mainline Deep Rock Galactic, it's single-player only.
Despite its simplistic combat and clunky combat animations, Silent Hill f still delivers one of 2025's quintessential horror experiences.
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is a great remake, but it's truly elevated by almost perfectly channeling the original's charm.
EA Sports FC 26 refines the formula with Authentic mode and better defending, making it a strong entry for fans. Still, it's an iterative release with limited appeal for newcomers or those seeking major changes.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds combines blistering pace, smart systems, and ever-evolving, celebratory track design to deliver the most confident, complete Sonic racer to date.
Dying Light: The Beast is a polished, well-crafted experience that builds on the franchise's strengths while adding new creative flourishes to its formula.
Lego Voyagers is a simple yet charming game built around dedicated co-op play. There's no dialogue, no quests, and no tutorials. Just you, your partner, and the Lego-built environment. It could certainly have been better, but as it stands, this is a highly accessible experience offered at an attractive price point.
