The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince on PC is a story-first experience that leans heavily into emotion and atmosphere. Its gameplay is simple, sometimes too simple, but it serves the narrative very well to keep things moving. This is not a game for everyone, but for the right player, it makes an indelible mark.
Crimson Desert is one of the most interestingly different games one would have played in a long time. There are times when it's grand without always being graceful, kind without always being thoughtful, and so full that respect and tiredness start to go together. The game sometimes feels like an exciting next step for fantasy action games.
MLB The Show 26 is a clear step forward for players who care most about gameplay. The Road to the Show mode offers a more in-depth, immersive career experience. The Diamond Dynasty mode lets you compete against other players, and the Franchise mode gives you a detailed strategic sandbox for long-term management. The game is well-made and meets the high standards we've come to expect from the series. It gives you a real baseball experience, all in all.
Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! is a good shooter that stands on its own and is a celebration of the franchise. It has a mix of crazy human missions, fun bug-power fantasies, FMV propaganda, and interesting combat loops that make it a fun game for both retro shooter and Starship Troopers fans. The game is easy to play on a lot of different platforms, and it runs well on PCs and consoles, so almost anyone can jump right into the action.
Thomas & Friends: Wonders of Sodor definitely has heart, skill, and a real sense of purpose, which is what makes it one of the most interesting licensed releases in recent memory.
Dragonkin: The Banished is a thrilling, system-heavy action RPG with standout combat and smart buildcraft, held back by generic storytelling and bloated design. Delivers enough spectacle and progression to satisfy, even when its ambition occasionally outruns its discipline.
Never Grave: The Witch and the Curse is a good mix of things that are familiar and things that are new. It gets the basics of Metroidvania and roguelike design right, adds some really original ideas, and wraps it all up in a visually and mechanically appealing package.
WWE 2K26 is a love letter to wrestling fans hidden beneath a mountain of corporate greed. The Ringside Pass may leave a bad taste in your mouth if you want to enjoy wrestling without having to pay for it. There are good times, but they come at a high cost. Sometimes it's money, and other times it's the hours of work needed to unlock them.
1348 Ex Voto seems less like a final work and more like a proof of concept. It has beautiful scenery but is hampered by systems that don't always support the journey they're supposed to help with.
John Carpenter's Toxic Commando is a good, if not perfect, addition to Saber Interactive's collection of cooperative shooters. It has fast-paced, vehicle-based combat that keeps each mission interesting. The story and characters aren't very good, but the gameplay loop of managing waves of zombies, upgrading weapons, coordinating powers, and exploring open environments keeps you coming back.
Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake doesn't try to make the original game into something completely different. Instead, it updates the graphics and gameplay while keeping the slow, moody style that made the series famous in the first place.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection does well where it matters most, despite having some problems with pacing, menus that don't work smoothly, uneven tutorials and late-game grind spikes. It makes you want it. It wants to hatch one more egg, improve one more build, fight off one more invasive threat, recover one more habitat and see one more part of its world open up because it is curious.
Slay the Spire 2 builds on its predecessor with smarter mechanics, new characters, and enchanting combat. Early access shows polish, strategy, and depth—an addictive roguelike deck builder fans will love.
World of Warcraft: Midnight really gets what modern MMO players want. It offers ambition, comfort, nostalgia and growth all at the same time, without letting any of them completely destroy the others. That's smart product design that looks like a mythical tale, and that's why this update feels more solid than many louder ones.
Docked does a good job of showing how a dockyard really works, but it's clear that it's only for a certain group of people. Heavy gear and industrial logistics fans may find it surprisingly interesting. People who want something faster or more varied might find it hard to stay interested.
Ratcheteer DX is a fun, fast-paced top-down action-adventure game that does a good job of making a niche Playdate game more accessible on consoles. Its best features are its short, well-paced gameplay, smart tool-based discovery, bright, retro-inspired graphics, and catchy chiptune music. When you fight bosses and go through dungeons, you can make good use of the skills you've learned, and items like Astral runes give players more reasons to be curious.
Banquet for Fools is not an RPG that is meant to please everyone. It is hard to get through, can be annoying at times, and is fiercely dedicated to its old-fashioned beliefs. At first, it can be hard to keep track of quests, fights, and remember what to do because of how complicated the combat system is and how much stress is put on memory and planning.
Poker Night at the Inventory might not change how you feel about poker games, but it does remind you that simple ideas can make something fun and lasting when they are combined with smart writing and memorable characters. The AI could use some work, the buy-in rules could be better, and a percentage gauge would be a nice touch, but these are all minor problems with an otherwise fun and easy game.
Esoteric Ebb is one of the few games that manages to combine tabletop role-playing, story-driven CRPG mechanics, and player choice into a single, enjoyable experience.
Marathon shows a lot of promise for a shooting game. Its unique look, fun gunplay and high-stakes gaming loop make it very appealing. If people keep supporting and getting involved with Bungie's ambitious reboot, it could become one of the genre's most important games.
