Tormented Souls 2 is a faithful sequel that broadens scope while respecting the source material. Tank controls stay polarizing because you're getting retro survival horror complete with its flaws. If you bounced off the first game's clunky controls and archaic design, this won't convert you. But it is a solid followup through and through.
Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny is the kind of crossover you’ll want to love more than you actually do. It’s ambitious and full of personality, but bogged down by repetition, weak writing, and uneven gameplay that never quite rolls in its favor. Fans of Nickelodeon will enjoy the nostalgia trip for a while, but as an RPG, it’s more filler episode than legendary quest.
Trails in the Sky: First Chapter Remake captures what made the original beloved while making it easier to fall in love with all over again. The voice acting breathes new life into its classic storytelling, and hearing the familiar English cast return feels like a heartfelt reunion for longtime fans. The new dual combat system lets players choose their rhythm, while upgraded visuals, sound, and smoother pacing make every emotional beat land more naturally. Quality-of-life improvements iron out much of the grind that once slowed the experience. While it isn’t flawless. A few voice deliveries miss the mark, real-time combat can get messy in larger encounters, and minor technical hiccups persist, none of that diminishes what this remake achieves. This is the most complete, accessible, and emotionally resonant way to experience where the Trails saga began.
Disgaea 7 on the Switch One was a little bit disappointing, but the Switch 2 upgrade brings back all the memories that made it the perfect RPG. The Jumbification system and associated giant-sized tactics add fresh flavor. Turn-based tactics with many character classes, deep post-game, and min-maxing systems. The main story is long, the post-game is huge, ideal for those who like to grind and dive deep. For newcomers to the series, this can be overwhelming or off-putting. Because of the deep mechanics and post-game, a lot of time is spent doing repetitive battles.
If the developers tighten the dice descriptions and polish the shop readability, this could stand among the best dice-builders out there. As it stands, it’s still one of the most engaging examples of how luck and skill can dance together in perfect rhythm.
In a year packed with clever roguelites, CloverPit still manages to stand out by being uncomfortably human. It’s a mirror held up to our own compulsions, our own need to pull one more lever, to see if maybe this time, luck is on our side. For Mac players, that’s especially true—they’ve had to live that metaphor just to get through the title screen.
Love, Ghostie provides a lovely cozy experience where everyone can find love. Pair couples however you want and take as long as you need. Everything you do helps boost relationships and you see your efforts pay off. There is lots of experimentation and progress is slow at first. Love, Ghostie makes relationship pairing fun and is a must-try for any cozy romance player.
Little Nightmares 3 keeps the creepy “silent horror” vibe, environmental storytelling, puzzle-platform elements, and grotesque monster design. Having two characters with different tools adds more puzzle/traversal variety. The inclusion of online co-op is something many fans have been asking for. The visual fidelity and frame performance require more compromises compared to PS5. This might not deliver as cleanly if you prefer local co-op or play only on low-end platforms. For players who love atmospheric, slow-burn horror, puzzles, and exploration and don’t mind some slower pacing, Little Nightmares 3 is for you.
Ghost of Yotei is the rare sequel that understands what made its predecessor special and builds upon it exceptionally. Atsu's revenge tale might hit predictable notes, but the journey transcends its familiar narrative through unparalleled player freedom. And with Yotei Legends coming in 2026? I can't wait to dive back in.
Castle of Heart: Retold reimagines the 2018 indie game with revamped visuals, smoother combat, and richer story that delivers a thrilling 5-6 hour adventure. While Svaran’s curse-fueled quest is fun, a slight leaning to a more Metroidvania elements could have elevated this solid platformer even further!
Dreams of Another is less a game and more an experience, one that lingers long after waking. While the visuals and ambient music create a haunting yet beautiful mood, the gameplay focuses on environmental storytelling and puzzle-solving. The smooth performance offers value for players interested in narrative variation. Even the flaws become part of the experience, reminding you that dreams themselves rarely conclude neatly. The world, though fragile and unstable, feels alive in a way that forces you to pay attention to the small details.
By the final whistle, FC 26 stands as the most complete and confident entry of the new EA Sports FC era. It may not be revolutionary, but it’s the most balanced and satisfying football simulation EA has released in years. The divide between Authentic and Competitive play is a masterstroke, the AI and physics feel genuinely refined, and the quality-of-life improvements finally make Ultimate Team and Clubs worth investing in again.
Digimon Story: Time Stranger represents a massive leap forward for the series, offering the most comprehensive Digimon collection experience ever created in a beautiful Digital World. The evolution system is addictive, boss battles are challenging and memorable, and the story ultimately delivers. For longtime Digimon fans who've been waiting, this game will surely scratch that itch.
Immortal Edition is a package that shines in theory but falters in execution. The RPG elements remain engaging, the quest structure is robust, and the nostalgic weight of the original trilogy is undeniable. But all of that is held hostage by an AI that simply refuses to play fair. Puzzle Quest still has its charms, but when the board is this rigged, even the most loyal fans might find themselves questioning whether it’s worth the grind anymore.
Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian succeeds in capturing the spirit of the Atelier series while evolving it into something stronger. Rias and Slade’s story is engaging, the mechanics are rewarding, and the balance of nostalgia and accessibility ensures that fans old and new can enjoy the journey together. It is a game about restoration, discovery, and resilience.
The game embodies the paradox of adaptation. In trying to stay fresh and unexpected, it sacrifices the timeless strengths of Christie’s storytelling. It’s colorful, ambitious, and sometimes clever, but rarely elegant. Ultimately, Death on the Nile is less a triumphant voyage and more a cautionary tale in how easily a mystery can lose its edge when it strays too far from what makes it compelling in the first place.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds represents everything I wanted from a modern Sonic kart racer. It respects the series' history while pushing the genre forward through innovative mechanics and thoughtful design. For anyone seeking a kart racer that prioritizes fun, variety, and replayability, CrossWorlds delivers on all fronts.
For me, Consume Me was more than just another indie experiment. It was a mirror, one that was sometimes painful to look into but ultimately cathartic. It’s the kind of game that proves how the medium can go beyond simple entertainment, using humor, mechanics, and storytelling to shine light on struggles many people hide. You may not walk away with a happy ending, but you’ll walk away with something far more valuable: recognition, empathy, and maybe even a little understanding of yourself.
Borderlands 4 represents both the series' greatest triumph and most serious technical frustrations simultaneously. When everything aligns correctly, it delivers the most mechanically refined Borderlands experience ever created. The foundation is excellent, but the technical polish just isn’t there yet.
Shape of Dreams is an easy-to-learn roguelike built for multiplayer sessions. Different characters work well together and it’s easy to assemble decent powers. Many of these powers are built for multiplayer and there’s little reason to pursue higher difficulties. It’s a solid roguelike with lots of fun but you do need friends to play effectively.
