Ghost of Yotei sharpens Tsushima's formula with fluid, brutal combat, cultural depth, and the vast landscapes of Ezo. Weak pacing and over-guided exploration don't outweigh its status as a superb PS5 open-world action RPG.
Silent Hill f delivers a disturbing Japanese setting, powerful writing, and creative puzzles, but its fragile melee combat feels clumsy and often unrewarding.
Borderlands 4 is a bold, chaotic open-world reinvention with thrilling combat and inventive loot, held back by technical issues and instability.
Silksong is a harder, deeper sequel that refines Hollow Knight’s formula, balancing brutal difficulty with creativity, exploration, and rewards.
NBA 2K26 improves on NBA 2K25 with smoother motion, a smarter shot meter, and more realistic arenas and players. Offline modes still lack depth, and center balance is a concern, but overall, it's the best entry in years.
Delta faithfully preserves Snake Eater's mechanics, story, and pacing while adding modern visuals and smoother controls. It lacks reinvention but stands as the most complete way to experience the original classic.
Madden NFL 26 finally feels ambitious with authentic presentation, weather realism, and the deepest Franchise overhaul since Madden 17, though Training Camp minigames, Superstar's lack of depth, and Ultimate Team's monetization hold it back from perfection.
Wildgate delivers polished ship combat and a unique PvPvE structure, but its small content pool and inconsistent matchmaking hold it back from its full potential.
A fast, challenging, and rewarding Ninja Gaiden revival with precise combat, clever mechanics, memorable bosses, and strong replay value.
Despite its heartfelt concept and recognizable setting, the game delivers a shallow, buggy experience that feels half-finished. Without narrative growth, gameplay evolution, or technical stability, Tales of the Shire struggles to justify its promise or price.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers nails its combat and build variety. The bosses aren't always fair, and the story falters, but it's still one of the best Soulslike experiences of the year.
A strong follow-up to College Football 25 with smarter AI, deeper modes, and the best game-day feel in any football sim. Minor issues don't outweigh major improvements.
This version lands the trick mechanically, but it doesn’t bring the whole soul of the series with it. It’s a polished ride, but one that leaves a few scuff marks on the memory.
The Alters is a focused, emotionally rich survival sim. Cloning past versions of Jan is central to both gameplay and story, with real consequences for each choice. Strong base-building, constant time pressure, and unique character dynamics make it one of the most memorable narrative survival games in recent years.
Death Stranding 2 fixes most issues from the first game, adds better combat and keeps its unique world and pacing. It's still weird, but now it's also much more fun to play.
MindsEye has high ambitions and a stylish setting, but the game suffers from dated mechanics, poor AI, and a non-reactive world. Despite its strong visuals, it's unfinished at nearly every level.
Mario Kart World is a bold evolution of the series. New ideas and mechanics shine, but unpolished systems, vague unlocks, and limited multiplayer tools keep it from hitting full speed.
Split Fiction is a 15-hour co-op-only adventure packed with constant gameplay reinvention, heartfelt writing, and standout design that surpasses even Hazelight's past work.
Doom: The Dark Ages successfully reinvents the series' formula without losing its identity. Grounded, methodical, and brutally satisfying. A must-play for FPS veterans.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a must-play RPG with brilliant combat, strong characters, and a world that's hard to forget.
