Sonic X Shadow Generations once again proves that while Sonic may be timeless, Shadow just squeaks ahead in understanding the assignment a little better – offering a revisited revamp that is easy to enjoy for fans and fence sitters alike.
With some light visual touchups, Adol continues to dominate his PS2 era. The new sea air is good for his crimson hair, but the breadth of exploration can occasionally feel as broad as the Suez Canal.
With Neva, Nomada Studio continues to display an unmatched level of craft as they create yet another visually striking and evocative fantasy world. But in bending it to fit new systems and more direct storytelling, Neva struggles to define itself beyond raw beauty and uneven, all too familiar thematic ground.
Until Dawn remains a fantastic horror experience that should find a whole new audience to appreciate it, but with no upgrade, this remake is an expensive sell for returning players.
Despite the quirks, Edge of Sanity is a challenging and enjoyable Cthulhu-inspired eldritch horror survival game thanks to its well-made 2D design and addictive resource management systems.
If you can only play one turn-based fantasy roleplaying game this year, let it be this one. Swords and sorcery Persona is a marvellously executed pitch.
As Dragon Ball games go, Sparking! Zero stands as one of the better translations of what it feels like to be a super powered hero, Goku or otherwise. It's not for everyone, but with a great set of modes and roster of characters, fans should find plenty to enjoy.
Other than the new fantastic Rush mode and a greater focus on tactics, EA Sports FC 25 is a familiar yet solid football experience that doesn't do enough to keep the questions about annual releases at bay.
Chock-full of 80's vibes and sci-fi fun, Beyond Galaxyland is a grand old time. It does stumble occasionally, but the overall package gels together to make Doug and Boom Boom's debut a memorable one.
Despite some troubled animations and controls, Copycat plays its emotional journey excellently. As a cat owner and someone who has lived somewhat similar events in recent times, its tale of love and loss hit hard, but was a journey worth taking.
Princess Zelda finally takes the stage in this magnificent farewell to the series' best generation, giving the top-down adventure a serving of the latest 3D entries' innovations.
Although the new coat of paint and quality of life updates probably won't change the minds of anyone who didn't click with this oddity of a 3D platformer the first time, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed successfully recaptures the magic of the original, making it well worth a look-in, both for fans and those that missed it on the Wii.
Just as it was in 1996, Broken Sword – Shadow of the Templars: Reforged is an adventure game masterpiece, with Reforged offering players a remarkable trip down memory lane and giving the classic a new lease on life for a new generation of adventurers.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster does enough to warrant its existence, ensuring the original experience remains gleefully intact with new quality-of-life improvements and a lavish visual upgrade in tow. It's maybe not quite as deluxe as it could be, but it remains as good as it always has been.
A wickedly creative romp through a basic storybook tale of good versus evil that ends up being anything but basic, The tale of Jot and his merry band of mates is one that you will easily enjoy - remembered long after that final page has been turned.
Funko Fusion's biggest success is how well it matches the vibe of Funko's uber-popular line of vinyl figures as a whole – joyless, soulless representations of beloved franchises that capture almost none of the charm of the source material. The most culturally-relevant thing here might be the collectible KFC buckets.
Taking everything learnt from Void Bastards, Wild Bastards is an inventive spiritual sequel, blending strategy and shooter perfectly within its space cowboy antics. It's a must play, no doubt.
A slick visual presentation and serviceable if uneven action stealth can't elevate this mildly baffling mishmash of sci-fi tropes that suffers from a lack of atmosphere and identity
