A delightful mashup that is greater than the sum of its parts
Do expect a hardcore experience but if you feel up to the challenge then you can not go wrong with either of these two games.
The New Zealand Story: Untold Adventure does a decent job of scratching the itch even if it doesn't quite hit the same spot… it does do a decent job of reminding fans of the original what they loved about the game. It's not a terrible price, but if you are after a true one‑to‑one port to modern gaming, you might want to at least wait for a sale.
The setting alone helps it stand out, and the mix of dreamlike horror and personal storytelling makes it a memorable experience. If you enjoy narrative driven horror games and are looking for something with a unique setting and a strong sense of atmosphere, Project Songbird is definitely worth adding to your list.
The cosiest, craziest Pokémon game with a concept so delightful you wonder why we haven't seen it sooner
There are some genuinely standout moments, but I can't help but look back at the likes of Left 4 Dead and just wish Toxic Commando had that same level of charm. It's just missing something-a little personality-a hook, the kind that made Left 4 Dead endlessly replayable.
Zooseum is a fun little addition to Two Point Museum. It doesn't do anything especially different from the formula, but then again, it didn't need to. All the charm and wit of the base game are present here, and if you enjoy that, this is more of it.
Taking major inspiration from other indie games in both gameplay and graphical design, Crabmeat is a fun, decently paced horror fishing game with incredible attention-to-detail and lackluster visuals.
An uneven remake that's equal parts frightening and frustrating.
The best Stories game to date that easily stands shoulder to shoulder with its mainline brethren.
Another satisfying supernatural mystery that's well worth plumbing the depths for.
So no, WWE 2K26 isn't the Best in the World, but it still does a mighty fine job, sorta like when Randy Orton faced Edge in "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" at Backlash 2020, it wasn't the greatest wrestling match, but it was very good-and so to is WWE 2K26.
Skunkape Games have remastered and re-listed Poker Night, given it a fresh lick of paint, reintroduced it's most important feature and all that at a decent price. They've truly gone all-in.
Under the Island understands why people love this genre. There's a great focus on exploration and combat is accessible without being complex. You are rewarded for curiosity with new gear, expanded wallets, hidden secrets, and clever shortcuts. The pacing picks up significantly once you earn your first dungeon item, and from there progression feels steady and gratifying. It is a heartfelt take on the classic top down adventure formula. It blends nostalgia with its own quirky identity and keeps the experience compact and inviting from start to finish. On Switch especially, it feels like the kind of game you can pick up for a quick session and accidentally play for hours. It is lighthearted without being shallow, simple without being empty, and creative without losing clarity. If you have been craving a Zelda-like experience that remembers what made those older adventures special while still carving out its own personality, this is one you should not let slip beneath the surface.
The interesting narrative and story are cut short near the end of the game due to plot holes and monotonous level design. The great puzzles of the game are held back by lackluster gunplay. Consequently, Crisol: Theater of Idols is more like a promising prologue for Vermila Studios' next game.
It feels like a strong foundation for a sequel that could expand the world, deepen build diversity, and refine combat into something truly memorable. It is an enjoyable but average roguelite shooter. If you value atmosphere and style over mechanical depth, especially in a dark western setting, you will likely have a good time.
You can jump in for a few quick duels or sink hours into tuning, grinding, and hunting down every last wanderer. It is focused, challenging, and unapologetically specific. And that specificity is exactly why it works.

A perfect balance of survival, action, and horror featuring fantastic set pieces, superb combat and plenty of chills that long-time RE fans are bound to love.
PC is definitely not my number one choice to experience the new adventures of Geralt. Though the game captures the essence of CD Project Red's The Witcher series, at the end of the day, it's just a casual card adventure, not a full-blown RPG, and that will make it difficult to keep up with the experience longer than a short while.
