Copycat is made to pull at your heartstrings, which is what it will do. The gameplay is the least effective part of the game, but an experience held together so tightly by narrative, such as this one, can get away with this. There are enough fun elements to look past this, and the story is worth enjoying.
EA SPORTS FC 25 might not meet expectations if you anticipate a radically different experience from the previous installment. The game expands upon the last versions by introducing new tactical elements, making the gameplay more engaging. That shall suffice some, while others may see it as identical to the previous installment.
A few years ago, Bloomtown: A Different Story would have been a top-tier JRPG experience second to none. But with today's offerings, I can only say that it succeeds in delivering a better-than-average experience. It has some incredibly charming moments with each character and an appealing art style, but also classic tropes that wear down the narrative to the most patient of gamers.
The Karate Kid: Street Rumble may not be the greatest beat 'em up you were hoping for, but it's still fun to play. Those who loved the movie will find many nostalgic moments since all the characters' personalities are kept intact in the game's presentation.
Melobot - A Last Song has so much to offer in a tiny package, but you won't be disappointed with how much there is to see and hear. It's a great change of pace if you're a fan of anything music-related, and if you can look past the sprint issue, you'll be in for what might be the most relaxed gameplay ever.
Somewhere beneath all that greed, NBA 2K25 is a decent game from 2K Games. I've always pointed out how much effort Visual Concepts puts into this series, and it's admirable. But the game's initial pricing is $70, with the Hall of Fame edition costing $150, and every year, it feels like we're simply buying DLC for visual patches for that amount.
Expanding upon the original's strengths, Frostpunk 2 adds additional features, a more in-depth storyline, and more intricate city-building. Even while it takes time to get going, once it does, it unveils a massive game that surpasses the original in size and scale. Although there are some issues, especially with how some mechanics are explained, the game provides a deep and thrilling experience worth delving into.
Enotria: The Last Song managed, in large part, to put a breath of fresh air into the Souls-like formula, thanks in no small part to its vibrant world, unique lore, and deep customization options. While not quite hitting the heights reached by titles like Elden Ring or Lies of P, it brings enough new ideas to the table to make it worth playing, especially for fans of Italian folklore or something different.
Age of Mythology: Retold is a great modernized experience of a classic old game. It keeps the best things from the old game, including the charm. It adds a lot, providing a new experience with added nostalgia. The original game was already a great RTS game, and Retold maintains this status. It compares pretty well to its cousins in the other Age games and more than well with other RTS games.
While NanoApostle might not be a must-play for everyone, it deserves at least a solid recommendation for players who want a succinct, soulslike package; its short runtime is full of challenging and rewarding boss fights. Plus, I think it would be a great game to take around on the Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch. If the urge hits for a streamlined, no-frills action game, NanoApostle is worth checking out because it is a fantastic boss rush title.
Hollowbody is like a love letter to the old PS2 horror games and all of their many tropes. It’s a great change of pace that’ll keep you on your toes while getting a little blast from the past. The visuals might not be the greatest, but that’s what adds so much to the atmosphere. If you’re a fan of the old horror games, you’ll have a hell of a time with Hollowbody and it’s many tropes.
Ace Attorney Investigations Collection offers very visible and useful upgrades that make the game incredibly accessible while also offering the second game to Western audiences. The two games have their nooks and crannies that make them, [particularly the first one] suffer from many issues, and the game, while very much repayable now, is still very repetitive in its gameplay.
Caravan SandWitch is an amazing addition to the landscape of cozy games. The story has a great narrative that will keep you interested for the long haul. If nonstop action is your thing, then this is not the game for you. However, the fun quests and the developed world available to explore have more than enough for gamers wanting their next story-led escape.
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a fine way to experience the magical game of Quidditch. It is far too busy, and there is a huge skill ceiling that isn't introduced to the player well enough. The tutorial goes through each role, which is helpful, but more than that is needed to understand the flow of the game. While being a fun game with friends, it sadly lacks when playing alone, and the limited substance makes the whole thing feel like more of a DLC than a full game.
Edge of Sanity is a wonderfully made game that is a must-get for psychological horror and survival fans. It also offers a lot for the casual player and tells a great story. The challenge of resource management and survival might detract from some, but it only adds more to the game. It puts you in the main character's shoes and offers striking visuals, great gameplay, and brilliant voice acting. Edge of Sanity is a wonderful survival horror game, and you'll miss out on a lot if you don't grab a copy.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is simply amazing. Even if you haven't played the original or are unaware of the Warhammer lore or the franchise in general, you'll still get a taste of the game's heightened thrill after playing it. The endless warfare made the Space Marines so fun to play, and Space Marine 2 is the ideal setting for those who remain faithful to the franchise.
DATE A LIVE: Ren Dystopia is just like any other visual novel. You should get this if you are a fan of Date A Live in general to see where the story goes. If you are interested in playing this game, you should give it a chance; however, you may want to start watching the anime or play something with a wider appeal to a wider audience first.
ASTRO BOT can never be accused of being a tech demo, unlike its predecessor, as many of the ideas previously toyed with in Playroom are now fully fleshed out and in a way that feels just as much a love letter as it does a defiant creative statement in PlayStation's library. Whatever the future holds for this charismatic little robot, it is safe to say that ASTRO BOT is firmly planted as this historic company's new face.
Visions of Mana does a brilliant job of rebooting the classic series for the modern age. Just enough nostalgia, innovating on previous systems with real-time battle mechanics to appeal to those who find turn-based systems a tad too dull. With a story full of sacrifice and duty, it provides an interesting backdrop to the action. While the pacing is a tad off at times and the voice acting is a little contentious, this game shines in its combat, customization, and presentation.
Bloodless provides an engaging experience with challenging and fun combat, a badass elderly protagonist, an interesting premise that I enjoyed where her determination to keep a vow is at odds with all the violence around her, and some interesting and eccentric characters who provide a bit of comic relief to the otherwise tense atmosphere.
