There’s nothing else quite like The Hundred Line. It’s bold, bizarre, heartfelt, and filled with more ideas than most games twice its size. It respects your time by giving you meaningful choices, compelling characters, and deep gameplay systems. And most of all, it delivers on the potential that made me excited for it in the first place.
DOOM: The Dark Ages is a bold reinvention that retains the soul of the franchise while pushing it in a new direction. It’s more narrative-driven, more methodical, and more melee-focused. It trades some of the speed and chaos of Eternal for raw brutality and deliberate pacing, and while not every experimental idea lands, the ones that do hit like a sledgehammer.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 isn’t just a great RPG—it’s a statement. A declaration that there’s still room in this industry for big ideas, deeply personal storytelling, and gameplay systems that respect the player’s time and intelligence. It combines razor-sharp combat with haunting world design, memorable characters, and a level of customization that lets you truly own the way you play. The story sticks with you, the soundtrack lingers in your head, and the world invites you back in long after the credits roll.
Days Gone Remastered isn’t a reinvention—it doesn’t try to be. It’s a polished, tightened, and enhanced version of an already ambitious game that finally delivers on most of its promise. The story still takes time to get going, but the payoff is there. The horde battles are better than ever. The visuals have been noticeably upgraded. And the DualSense features, along with the added game modes, give it a level of refinement and replayability the original lacked.
If you played the original, this remaster is like coming home after years away to find your childhood home renovated, cleaned up, and full of fond memories. If you’ve never played Oblivion before, this is the best way to see what all the fuss was about.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is exactly what fans have been asking for—a stunning, immersive adventure set in feudal Japan. It offers refined mechanics, a compelling revenge story, and a world that feels alive thanks to its dynamic weather and changing seasons. The dual protagonist system is a great addition, even if the balance between the two characters isn’t perfect.
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is the kind of game that reminds you why you love RPGs. It’s massive, ambitious, and deeply rewarding. The enhancements brought to the Switch version smooth out many of the rough edges from the original release, and the added content gives even veterans a reason to return.
South of Midnight is a unique journey through a beautifully crafted world, filled with rich folklore, striking visuals, and a surprisingly deep story. It delivers engaging melee combat, a memorable cast, and a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack that blends blues, country, and soul music seamlessly into the experience.
After 14 years, it’s surreal to finally have another Bleach game to sink my teeth into—and Rebirth of Souls doesn’t disappoint. It’s a love letter to the series, packed with great storytelling, fun combat, and an impressive presentation that captures everything I love about Bleach.
Split Fiction is another triumph for Hazelight Studios. It’s a joyful, wildly inventive co-op experience that constantly surprises and delights. The seamless blend of genres, tight platforming, and stunning visuals make it an absolute blast to play from start to finish. While parts of the story may not leave a lasting impact, the sheer fun of the game more than makes up for it.
Despite the slightly toned-down difficulty, Monster Hunter Wilds is a fantastic new entry in the series. It refines and improves almost every aspect of the formula, making the game more fluid, immersive, and accessible. The busywork has been reduced, the monsters are as fun to fight as ever, and the world is richer and more dynamic. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a complete newcomer, this is one of the best Monster Hunter experiences yet—and one that will keep me coming back for hundreds of hours.
At the end of the day, Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection is a love letter to classic Yu-Gi-Oh!fans. It offers an incredible amount of content, preserves some of the most beloved (and rare) games in the franchise, and introduces just enough quality-of-life improvements to make revisiting them enjoyable.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a fantastic spin-off that successfully blends the Yakuza series’ brawler roots with fresh pirate-themed mechanics. Majima’s larger-than-life personality carries the story, while naval combat, varied environments, and deep side content keep the experience engaging. The game isn’t fully open-world, and the occasional lip-syncing issues can take you out of the moment, but these are minor complaints in an otherwise stellar package.
Avowed is an excellent RPG that showcases Obsidian’s strengths—fantastic writing, immersive world-building, and meaningful choices. However, it doesn’t necessarily bring anything revolutionary to the genre. While it executes its inspirations well, I kept waiting for a moment that would make it feel truly unique, something that would set it apart as a must-play experience rather than just a very good one.
Two Point Museum is everything I want from a management sim—deep but not overwhelming, challenging yet accessible, and packed with personality. The variety of museums, the engaging expedition system, and the constant financial balancing act make for an experience that is both rewarding and addicting. It’s the kind of game where I tell myself I’ll only play for an hour, only to realise multiple have gone by.
Ultimately, Ever 17 – The Out of Infinity is a must-play for fans of visual novels, especially those who love intricate, thought-provoking narratives. While it starts off slow and requires patience, the payoff is more than worth it. The remaster does a great job of bringing this classic to a modern audience while preserving what made it special in the first place.
Going into Never 7, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I knew it had a reputation as the weakest entry in the Infinity series, but I was still eager to experience it for myself. After playing through all the routes, I can see why some fans feel that way—certain aspects, particularly the pacing and some weaker romance routes, hold it back from reaching the heights of its successors.
Despite some pacing issues and a demanding difficulty curve, Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero is a fantastic SRPG that offers deep, rewarding combat, an engaging world, and a unique battle system that sets it apart from other games in the genre. The nautical theme adds a fresh twist to the experience, and the strong English voice acting and charming presentation make it a joy to play.
Trails Through Daybreak 2 is very much a middle entry in what feels like a planned trilogy. It doesn’t reinvent the series the way Daybreak 1 did, nor does it push the story forward in a massive way. Instead, it builds upon what came before, refines the combat, and lays the groundwork for what’s coming next.
Urban Myth Dissolution Center is a fantastic blend of supernatural mystery, atmospheric storytelling, and investigative gameplay. The detailed pixel art, engaging cast, and episodic structure make it a perfect pick for fans of mystery stories, especially those who grew up watching episodic detective shows. While the investigation mechanics could have evolved further and the pacing occasionally stumbles, these are minor flaws in an otherwise engaging experience. For anyone looking for a stylish, eerie mystery adventure with an eye catching art style, Urban Myth Dissolution Center is well worth diving into.
