We were really hoping Dragon Age: The Veilguard would be the big, satisfying comeback that would remind us why BioWare was once an RPG powerhouse. But it just doesn’t make the cut. Instead, it makes us wonder if BioWare can still create games like the Mass Effect trilogy and the early Dragon Age titles as they did. If this is what the future of Dragon Age looks like, maybe it’s time to give the series a break.
If you have enjoyed such games as Hollow Knight and Blasphemous in the past or haven't ever tried them, I think Voidwrought is worth your time. The luscious, eerie world is brimming with depth for $19.99. Players of the genre will find this one to be a great addition to their collection. Voidwrought is a must-play if you love atmospheric platforming, ancient souls-like mystery solving, and intense boss fights.
Red Dead Redemption is a masterpiece that endures. Sure, it's a little rough around the edges, and the price point for this rerelease feels like a bit of a reach, but what you're getting is a weird little piece of gaming history story-driven experience that rarely comes along in such an unfiltered form.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure is yet another addition to the series that never quite hit the same highs after its initial success with the original. This title feels like the series at its lowest. Not even the return of the beloved main character of the first game was enough to save just how shallow the writing of the game feels after episode 2.
It’s quite easy to have you captivated by the plot and the innovative gameplay features that are introduced in Ys X: Nordics. You’ll rarely come across any dull moment because of all the fast-paced action RPG combat, exploration, special Mana skills, and not to mention the memorable music that makes up the game.
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of The Seven is a remarkable game, building on a title that was ahead of its time. It brings a lot of flavor and uniqueness to the scene. For a JRPG, it has a somewhat generic story while still being pretty compelling. For a Generational game, it lacks many of the general facets of the genre, yet it manages quite well to bring it together.
Citadelum had immense potential to be an extraordinary game, but only if it had more complexity and variation. Abylight Studios made a decent attempt to engage newcomers to this genre by adding a stylish look to a retro genre, and they might still accomplish that if they keep working on the game's features.
If you’re into classic COD mechanics with some fresh twists, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is worth a shot. The new omnidirectional movement, return of round-based Zombies, and rewarding progression make this one of the more exciting COD entries.
ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE feels more like a newer, better Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13 rather than a remake of Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII. It is still playable and pretty fun, but with all its shortcomings, it's hardly recommended unless you're a fan or someone who's looking for an RPG with a bit more to it.
SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS captures the essence of what Sonic fans love most about the series. Adding classic levels, along with Shadow's unique gameplay mechanics and an interesting storyline, is a big plus. At least that shows Sonic Team's passion for the rebirth of this series.
Shin chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is a light-hearted, nostalgic adventure made for its fans and anyone who delights in casual games of exploration, such as Animal Crossing. Its cozy rural village, Unbent, and the mysterious, dreamlike Coal Town provide a very nice backcloth to Shin-chan's quirky interactions and simple tasks.
With the official 1.0 release, Wayfinder gained additional features, such as a new hero and open-world area. I anticipate that the developers will maintain this trend with future updates because the game's current patches have also included numerous additions that improve players' overall experience.
1000xRESIST is one of those titles that you're going to be thinking about long after the credits roll. Considering this is an indie title, it's a really great show of storytelling and world-building. The themes it tackles are pretty heavy and might not be for everyone, but I really can't see anyone leaving disappointed from a story like this.
Starship Troopers: Extermination has some fun bug-slaying action, but poor performance and less-than-stellar content. It is fun, but matchmaking issues and a lack of campaign mode hamper replayability in co-op. Wait for fixes or sale before buying.
Sins of a Solar Empire II is a simplified Stellaris, and it is damn good at what it does right. With its many, many flaws, it still remains a fun experience. If you liked the original Sins of a Solar Empire, you'll love this game. And if you're looking for an entry point for space RTS games and are too daunted by Stellaris, this is for you as well.
ractured Daydream is also quite sensitive to its audio design, delivering high-quality sound effects that give the moments a really intense feel. Every character attack is followed by really satisfying sound cues, whether it's the explosive impact of magic abilities or just a bunch of swords clashing! However, compared to its predecessors, the innovation they made in portraying the audio isn't really visible.
AWAKEN: Astral Blade is visually stimulating, with solid Metroidvania gameplay, though it falls flat in some key areas. Too familiar of a plot with a lack of substance on character development and dialogue will occur. Fun boss fights and exploration come with repetitive enemies and fiddly combat mechanics that just leave so much to be desired.
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a movie-tied survival horror romp that works rather well as a game. If you enjoyed the movies or horror games, this is sure to give you a good spook. For a horror video game based on a movie, it's surprisingly good. The phonogram mechanic makes perfect sense with the movie's premise, the visuals are great, and the game is scary when the time is right.
Neva is yet another Nomada Studio gem. Its platforming, puzzle-solving, and combat are visually stunning and will surely keep you engrossed. You get a sense of the story's greatest elements through the main protagonist, the wolf, as you watch her mature alongside Alba.
Timberborn has a few minor hiccups and more than a few structural ones. Despite this, the game manages to gnaw itself into your hearts with its furry cast of beavers. Whether you are drawn by the practical, logical management or the aesthetic and pleasing city-building, you will be left enamored and hooked by the game.
