Live A Live is a masterclass in how to remake a classic title that is being released in other territories for the first time.
Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium is a fantastic collection, introducing players to games they might not have heard of.
Stray is a fantastic first game from BlueTwelve Studio, that is an experience unlike any other.
Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series is a charming walk down memory lane with these classic titles looking the best they ever have.
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak does a great job of building upon some of Rise’s gaming mechanics. Some may find it a shame or even weird that the heavily advertised Rampage didn’t receive any updates, however, Sunbreak is huge and feels like it could be a full game on its own with the new features being enough to bring back players for a long time.
DNF Duel is another stunning fighter from Arc System Works that offers a unique experience setting it aside from other fighters. Its simplified fight mechanics make DNF Duel an accessible fighter whilst still being complex enough to offer a challenging experience for members of the Fight Game Community.
With the new gameplay physics, reworked handling and updated tyre models, combined with the updated track layouts (Spain, Australia, Abu Dhabi) and the new Miami circuit, F1 22 feels like the most realistic Formula 1 game to date. The addition of VR, refreshed audio and tons of small tweaks make this one of the most immersive F1 games ever and even hardcore F1 fans won't be disappointed.
Redout 2 is an impressive anti-gravity racer that is visually stunning but does have a somewhat steep learning curve.
Capcom Fighting Collection is a fighting game fan's dream come true with these classic titles being perfectly ported whilst maintaining all their original features.
Sonic Origins is a great way to enjoy these classic titles for the first time, no matter how you play. The updated visuals and extra gameplay options really accentuate the amount of work that has been poured into this collection of gems. There are a few design choices that could’ve been implemented a lot better, however, Sega has released a fun anthology with plenty of replay value.
Fire Emblem: Three Hopes is not just the best Warriors game to date but a stand-out title in the Fire Emblem series. Being able to issue slightly more detailed orders to your team allows you to be far more strategic, making Three Hopes feel more like an authentic FE game but in real-time.
Final Vendetta is a great homage to classic Beat ‘em up from the 90s that will really please fans of the genre.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is not only a fantastic follow-up to Turtles in Time but an amazing celebration of the entire franchise.
The Hinokami Chronicles isn’t complex enough to challenge fighters like Dragon Ball FighterZ or Guilty Gear, but it is a fun title that will really please fans of the series.
Souldiers is a fantastic adventure that manages to find the right balance between its different elements.
If you loved Until Dawn and Dark Pictures Anthology, you will adore this title. If you've never played these but you're into horror movies you certainly won't be disappointed, as it delivers exactly what you'd expect - Tension, thrills, jumpscares, and the periodic deaths of fundamentally annoying yet somehow lovable teenagers as they hit "rock" bottom.
Mario Strikers: Battle League is a great entry into the series with Next Level Games and Nintendo finding the right balance between skills and chaos.
Touken Ranbu Warriors doesn’t add much to the Musou but its accessible gameplay may make this a good entry point for newcomers.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong is a little rough in some places, and mechanics aren't as tight as they could have been, but with an intriguing story, complex characters, and decisions that seem to genuinely change the path events took, it's still well worth taking a bite.
Dolmen is a brutal but ok action RPG that feels part space opera part action movie. The challenging gameplay and detailed customisation are fully welcome allowing for a lot of strategic thinking.
