A wonderful new take on the rougelike genre, adding puzzle elements is a genius idea. I lost hours and hours just building a layout, just too call it a day and go again. Progress however slow is just that shot of dopamine you need to keep you going for another day
While enjoying my time playing Steel Seed, it didn't just end up reminding me of other games in the genre space & with not much to set it apart, I fear this game may struggle to find traction unless it's given a push or put onto a subscription service like Gamepass.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves kicks off with a promising start, delivering moments that feel like home runs—or slam dunks (thanks to Terry). That said, not every shot lands perfectly, and some areas could be addressed in future installments, depending on the subseries’ longevity. The REV system has ramped up the action significantly, making the two-decade-long wait worthwhile for fans who’ve eagerly anticipated its return.
Despite some minor tech issues and lack of any real unique gameplay elements. I really enjoyed my time with South Of Midnight, its story and protagonist Hazel connected with me in a way I didn't expect. The setting and art direction give South Of Midnight an identity all it's own.
Battlefield Waltz has some good connections and character writing, but trying to make sense of its world and how the military academy fits in the narrative is going to make you crazy.
While I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with PGA Tour 2K25, I will say that the decision to lean towards realism isn't one I'm truly a fan of. However, the way this game handles it is so well done that I can look past my personal preferences. Amazing graphics and more-this is definitely a step in the right direction for golf games.
Dark Deity 2 builds on its predecessor with deeper strategic battles and richer character-driven storytelling. Assemble your team, forge unbreakable bonds, and lead powerful heroes through an epic struggle where every choice shapes the journey. But does it surpass the original? Watch the review to find out!
The game offers intense boss fights, rewarding progression, and a satisfying loop of loot and upgrades. With fluid combat, strategic poise management, and accessible systems, it provides both a tough challenge for veterans and an approachable experience for newcomers. A must-play for fans of hardcore, Soulslike action RPGs.
Atomfall is a small town mystery, monster battle, folk horror, science fiction quadruple feature. A high degree of freedom lets you choose what kind of adventure you want to have. This hands off approach has some small downsides. But it also leads to an incredibly inventive survival game that offers players boundless possibilities.
Assassin’s Creed Shadow’s ability to seemingly strike a perfect balance between the older titles in the series and its RPG brethren. This is exactly what I want RPG Assassin’s Creed games to be going forward.
With each battle, you’ll face legions of hostile automations, smashing your way through intricate clockwork defenses in a relentless pursuit of liberation.
Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & The Envisioned Land is a fantastic entry into the Atelier series. Yumia is a fantastic protagonist for the series, and Aladiss is a fun continent to explore.
For what it’s worth, Trailmakers does a lot of good for the building genre and challenges those to step into the galaxy of flux with open arms. For those like me, Trailmakers is a decent entry point and dolls out a bunch of modes to provide variety to make this building simulator stand on its’ own. The game is worth checking out for that tinker itch to scratch.
Kingdom Two Crowns was not exactly what I expected, It's a very simple but complex game. I enjoyed my time with it even though I did sometimes get lost no really knowing what the next this was.
Knights in Tight Spaces takes everything that made Fights in Tight Spaces so enjoyable, tosses in a few new mechanics without touching the fundamental nature, and comes out with yet another enjoyable deck-builder game.
Stardew Valley holds up to the test of time superbly. It is everything you want in a classic cozy game: farming, relationships, dungeon diving, fishing-you name it, this game has it and masters it to perfection. I have loved playing this game; it's definitely in my top 10 of all time.
Monster Hunter Wilds stands as Capcom’s crowning achievement in the Monster Hunter series, showcasing years of refinement and passion. The combat is seamless, the environments are breathtaking, and the attention to detail is truly remarkable.
Warriors Abyss is an amazing ride with tons of replayability. It has satisfying and addicting combat with tons of enemies to try new characters' movesets on. The camera and all the effects can go crazy on you at times, but overall it's a solid grab at only $25.
Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii is a great addition to this legendary franchise, that looks to set itself apart in some meaningful ways. That said, the game does get held back by some issues that have plagued the franchise for years. Thankfully, these issues don’t stop this pirate-themed adventure from being a boatload of fun.
Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter is everything players could want in a sequel with a grander world, monster hunts, and an overall meatier adventure. Not to mention, the additions of magic and elemental resistance to the combat, resource gathering and focus on having the right gear. Making it approachable for newcomers yet still challenging enough for those that loved the first game.
