Lacking the charisma and novelty of its predecessors, Mafia: The Old Country struggles to escape a sense of constant mediocrity.
Dead Take clearly wants players to focus on uncovering its story, and the mansion is built in a way that makes exploration feel rewarding even without much resistance. The atmosphere does a lot of heavy lifting, with sound and lighting creating an ever-present sense of tension that kept me leaning forward the whole time. Dead Take might not break the escape room genre wide open, but it finds a creative way to pull players into its world, and it's worth seeing through to the end.
Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 isn't trying to reinvent the wheel, but CyberConnect2 has once again proved that it doesn't need to.
The Game Kitchen has outdone itself on the Ninja Gaiden series' glorious return to 2D with Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, a near-perfect action-platformer.
A Lord of the Rings life-sim, Tales of the Shire tries to live up to its inherently great premise, but the Hobbit game falls short in a few ways.
At first glance, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers feels familiar, but its deeper systems take the genre in some unexpected and highly rewarding directions.
Donkey Kong Bananza is an incredibly impressive 3D platformer for the Nintendo Switch 2 and one of Donkey Kong's greatest adventures to date.
Hell Clock is a compelling, ever-expanding, surprisingly emotional ARPG roguelike that's well worth anyone's time, despite a few weak points.
RoboCop: Rogue City's Unfinished Business is a semi-sequel that primarily focuses on combat to deliver a short but sweet FPS thrill ride.
VOID Interactive's Ready or Not makes a mostly seamless transition to consoles while remaining one of the best modern tactical shooters.
Chronicles of the Wolf is an unabashedly old-school Metroidvania that's sure to please a specific contingent of the genre's fanbase.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a marked improvement over the original game with engaging gameplay and jaw-dropping graphics.
Tron: Catalyst is a solid, but flawed, action-adventure game that can be enjoyed even by players who aren't familiar with the Tron franchise.
While there's a lot to love about Sifu developer Sloclap's new multiplayer soccer game Rematch, it scores a few own goals.
RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is a fantastic revamping of the 2006 classic, putting it in conversation with contemporary ARPGs.
FBC: Firebreak is a big swing for Remedy Entertainment that's definitely worthy of a few cheers.
While it may look goofy at first glance, Date Everything is a lengthy feel-good dating sim with plenty of heart, soul, and furniture puns.
The Alters is a cerebral, thought-provoking, and beefy story-driven survival game, and undoubtedly 11 Bit Studios' magnum opus.
Dune: Awakening thrives in atmosphere, worldbuilding, and survival depth, even if its combat and grind somewhat drag behind its setting and systems.
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is an action roguelike follow-up to the original that balances its narrative pull with some phenomenal combat.
