Mission after mission, The Outer Worlds 2 seems to deliver on its ambitions and on the studio’s vision of offering a confident, solid action RPG, with a few genuinely interesting mechanics. And I’ll admit, there’s a lot to like here, but it started to lost me when, for every good or interesting idea, there are two or three others that makes the game look stuck to the past holding Obsidian back from reaching higher.

PlatinumGames sought to replicate the success of NieR: Automata and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance with Ninja Gaiden 4, and when it comes to the combat system, the outcome is positive. However, the game suffers from overly restrictive level design, poor storytelling, and an art direction that leaves much to be desired.

In Hell is Us, Rogue Factor confidently took a risk on a game that aims to subvert the conventions of a genre in need of fresh ideas, delivering a strong campaign, excellent concepts, powerful and challenging themes, and a memorable world that only falters by relying too heavily on a combat system that offers few surprises.

With a strong narrative focus, GoldFire Studios’ Arctic Awakening feels like a five-episode series with a well-defined arc, aiming to be an event for fans of the genre, but ultimately getting lost in gameplay that’s too passive and dialogues that are more tiring than engaging.

Beyond its basic, cliché-ridden premise, the parkour-inspired mobility for thrilling escapes and the almost tactical combat for dismembering zombies make Dying Light: The Beast as entertaining as a Sunday afternoon action movie.

The big problem with Henry Halfhead is that the endint is strong, but the journey to the conclusion isn’t always consistent, and the message gets lost between attempts at mechanical inventiveness and repetition.

Swery65 brings us yet another game full of unusual ideas, cinematic references, constant fourth-wall breaks, and an art direction that makes up for the lack of visual polish, but much like the creative director’s earlier projects, Hotel Barcelona works on paper and not much beyond that.

Ghost of Yōtei did something rare for me: it left me so captivated by everything it does well that it’s hard to even recall any truly negative aspects, or think of fixes for the small flaws. At its core, Ghost of Yōtei is the best version of what Sucker Punch could have created for this sequel. And that, in itself, is a huge achievement. A game that took everything great about the original and made it better, while delivering a story that feels more engaging, emotional, and perfectly suited to the potential of this wonderful interactive medium.
