I’m certain that Shape of Dreams will find its fans and treat them right, because roguelite debuts are rarely as content-rich, mechanically deep, or stable as this one; there’s even drop-in/drop-out co-op, a remarkably rare multiplayer boon.
Hollow Knight: Silksong has a long road ahead of it, and I'm ready to follow it on its entire journey. Whether that includes a swath of free updates just like the original game, or potential DLC, I'll be there. In fact, I'm still there, slowly chipping away at a 100% completion rate. I won't be putting this one down for weeks.
I may never be good enough to get on the leaderboards for the World Tournaments, but I can at least rock some Boom Golf with friends. And really, having fun just playing some golf with friends, or even solo, feels like the best way to experience Everybody's Golf Hot Shots, at least until I get good.
Bloober Team has clearly showcased its capabilities through the successful remake of Silent Hill 2. So, while Cronos: The New Dawn may not be the groundbreaking sci-fi horror that it or players were hoping for, there’s no denying that Bloober’s attempts to create something unique should still be celebrated, and personally, I’m still excited to see what comes next.
Admirable for both its consistently creative vision and risky ambiguity, Hell is Us is an intriguing expedition you’ll absolutely want to see through to the end, even if its ambition exceeds its grasp. Go in as cold as possible and do your best to avoid the deluge of online walkthroughs sure to come; you’ll discover a game that’s attempting something new and is excited to show it to you.
Still, if you haven't tried Kirby and the Forgotten Land yet, now is the perfect time to do so. You'll be able to experience the Star-Crossed World story in tandem with the core campaign, or ignore it entirely if you wish. Along with the enhanced Switch 2 performance, this modern Kirby classic will live on for another generation.
Gears of War: Reloaded feels like a title brought to PlayStation for its convenience, and while I think it will be a hit on its new platform, it feels like a dead end for audience growth.
SoS: Grand Bazaar blew me away with its depth.
Delta is a perfect imitation of MGS3, but no more.
Rogue Prince forges its own identity.
The writing and action do a great job of pulling players into the world of the TMNT. The fast-paced strategy offers a light touch that feels fitting for the characters and can be deceptively challenging. While it might be light compared to more complex strategy titles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown is a shell of a good time.
Mafia: The Old Country impresses in Sicily.
Beyond my enjoyment of the game itself, Tiny Bookshop also reinvigorated my love of reading. The books on my in-game shelves reminded me of so many good titles I haven’t read in a while, and gave me the strong urge to pick up a book each time I concluded a play session.
MakeRoom is absolutely something that should be on your radar. The incredible music and soft designs will have you lost in peaceful relaxation before you know it.
A worthy successor to the classic NES trilogy.
Tales of the Shire is ambitious but a bit insipid.
Overall, I have absolutely enjoyed my time with Pokémon Friends. The puzzles are certainly enjoyable, particularly as the difficulty becomes more noticeable, and the entire experience is so pretty and cheerful that it is hard not to just smile.
Another step up for China-based soulslikes.
After playing a ton of Jamboree TV, I came back mostly satisfied because of the injection of extra minigames it adds to the base game.
Rogue Snail's Hell Clock is a detailed and gorgeous new roguelite ARPG that equally leverages Brazilian history and deep gameplay systems.
