Nascar 2025 is definitely a far better game than past iterations in my opinion. I hope to see them push the boundaries and offer better customization and even go back to the “Dirt to Daytona” style game where you begin from the actual ground up as a dirt car driver and drive into the big leagues. I feel strongly there is plenty of momentum to push Nascar 2025 into an 8/10.
The Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack succeeds because all three games connect smoothly into one continuous journey. Characters grow, relationships evolve, and the world expands in a way that feels natural and consistently rewarding. The upgraded visuals and improved performance help everything feel fresh for both new players and returning fans. This collection also provides an easy entry point for newcomers since it highlights the series trademark blend of crafting exploration and lighthearted storytelling. Each game builds on the last which creates a unified experience that follows Ryza and her friends as they move toward something larger. Overall the Deluxe Pack delivers a cohesive and charming adventure that stands as one of the strongest story arcs in the entire Atelier franchise.
Hot Wheels Let’s Race: Ultimate Speed looks the part but fails to control like a dream. The Track Editor saves it from being just another forgettable racer, giving players a reason to keep coming back for one more lap.
Dreamed Away delivers a powerful story wrapped in a clever, skill-based combat system that rewards precision and reflection. Its atmosphere, art, and music create an unforgettable mood, and while its cryptic storytelling will not be for everyone, those willing to lose themselves in Théo’s nightmare will find one of the most emotionally resonant RPGs of the year.
Hello Kitty and Friends: Freeze Tag Party is the ultimate party game of Sanrio characters. While the gameplay can get dull pretty fast, it accomplishes what it wants to be, and that's a very simple game of tag. The variety of solo missions will keep you engaged for a while. This Hello Kitty game misses the opportunity to include multiplayer, as you are limited to local co-op or split-screen.
A Pizza Delivery is a surreal and artistic journey that serves up gorgeous backgrounds, clever puzzles, and a heartfelt mood, but it fumbles the human side of its story. It’s a thoughtful slice of indie ambition that tastes good but never quite satisfies your hunger.
Anima: Gate of Memories is decent, and I did enjoy my time with it overall. But the repetitive combat and clunky mechanics hold it back from being truly fun. I do think though that most people who decide to pick it up will enjoy it especially for the current price. The story is interesting, the world is varied, the graphics overhaul is well done, but with the remaster you aren’t getting much new content just a collection with a face lift.
It’s not a game for players who demand total control or deep narrative storytelling, but for those who enjoy the tension of unpredictable outcomes and clever roguelike systems, this is one of the freshest takes in the genre. Slots & Daggers doesn’t just reimagine dungeon crawling — it turns it into a gamble you’ll want to keep taking.
If you stumbled across this in the arcade and dropped a few quarters for a quick race, you'd probably have a great time. But to buy this at full price to play at home, you’d probably regret that purchase. Play Fast & Furious: Arcade Edition at a real arcade, and not at home!
The Jackbox Party Pack 11 promises five new original titles, but four of them lean heavily on familiar ground. Suspectives is basically Fakin’ It in disguise. Doominate is Quiplash with a dark twist. Cookie Haus is Tee K-O with frosting. Hear Say is Earwax remade. Only Legends of Trivia stands tall as something truly inventive, and it’s so good it almost justifies the purchase on its own. For long-time Jackbox fans, this pack is a mix of déjà vu and discovery. Most of the games are fun but familiar, while one is an instant classic that deserves its own spotlight. If you’re looking for something brand new, Legends of Trivia makes The Jackbox Party Pack 11 worth picking up — but let’s hope the next pack doesn’t rely on nostalgia to fill the table.
Once Upon a Katamari is the best kind of sequel. It honors the past while confidently moving into the future. It is funny, heartfelt, creative, and full of personality. The soundtrack shines, the gameplay flows better than ever, and the new features give it fresh life. Whether you are a longtime fan or a newcomer who has never rolled a katamari before, this is the perfect place to jump in.
Two Point Museum is a management-simulation game that involves curating exhibits, building the layout, and hiring staff. I have been playing it at launch, and I thoroughly enjoyed it with an optimized portable experience on my Switch 2. Things become a bit repetitive, or the challenge isn’t as strong as one might expect. As for the performance, not only is it kept at 30 fps on Switch 2, but it’s not all that stable. The title misses the highlighted Mouse features of Switch 2, which is definitely a bummer. There are multiple museum locations/themes, and a sandbox mode for creative freedom. It is A fun, creative, and deep enough to keep you engaged.
The Outer Worlds 2 succeeds at being exactly what it appears to be: more Outer Worlds. It delivers refined combat, memorable companions, and Obsidian’s unmistakable narrative brilliance, but it plays things safe, feeling smaller in imagination even as it expands in scope. Fans of the first game will find plenty to love,the sharp humor, choice-driven storytelling, and endearingly flawed characters are all here, but it never truly escapes the shadow of its predecessor. What emerges is a game that feels like a lavish, story-rich expansion rather than a bold sequel. For all its polish and heart, it’s a triumph of style and stability rather than evolution. It’s easy to recommend and even easier to enjoy, yet its comfort and familiarity hold it back from greatness, making it feel more like a return to a beloved home than the beginning of a daring new journey.
Overall, there is a lot of fun to be had in Cladun X3. This hack and slash looter is full of different items, gear, and customization that can keep someone who enjoys this genre occupied for hours on end. There are enough changes in terms of the structure of progression and enough of the original foundation of Cladun to keep players, both returning and new, happy with this entry.
Yooka-Replaylee captures the spirit of platforming with various areas to explore and various collectibles. The difficulty is ideal and you utilize every game mechanic. Loading screens take a long time and camera angles aren’t always helpful. This game showcases the highs and lows of platformers and will delight fans of the genre.
Ball x Pit is a brilliantly designed roguelite bursting with creativity, depth, and energy. A little grindy at times, but its fusion mechanics, character variety, and audiovisual style make it one of the year’s most exciting surprises.
Painkiller is a reboot of the old 2004 shooter that’s now built around co-op for up to three players. You’ll battle hordes of demons in gothic, lavishly detailed environments. Painkiller offers replayability in its loop, but the repetitiveness made me not go for the replay, and I was able to finish it in a single sitting. The mechanics are fast and arcade, but the execution has some serious problems. Solo play is particularly weak due to ineffective bot companions. Teaming up with friends to mow through hordes of enemies is a plus. Enemies just soak up damage without reacting or staggering.
The Lonesome Guild tackles themes of loneliness and connection in a world engulfed by a mysterious mist. It is a beautiful story for both young and old alike, touching on kindness and companionship. The combat and puzzles might feel stale, but the soundtrack and beautiful story make the world feel very much alive. You play as Ghost, possessing party members to fight and unlock boosted actions. The environments are noted for being well-designed, with logical light puzzles. Early enemies may take longer than expected to defeat, which can slow down the pacing. Davinci the rabbit inventor and Sarangalyn the dagger-wielder come with distinct personalities and playstyles.
The whole experience of Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club almost feels like playing through an interactive Peanuts movie, which fans will probably love! I can definitely see kids who enjoy the movies having a blast running around town as Snoopy, collecting hidden treasures, and solving cases!
NBA Bounce is a fun afternoon distraction that kids will enjoy, but it’s also a reminder that not every officially licensed game earns its price tag. What’s here is serviceable and occasionally charming, but the shallow gameplay, missing features, and awkward mascot focus make it feel like a layup that barely hits the rim. Its family-friendly gameplay and mascot charm can’t make up for its steep price, lack of online play, and uneven team representation. It’s a game that wants to celebrate the NBA’s fun side, but ends up bouncing a little too high for what it delivers.
