Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass Part 1 – Bubbly Basin is an easy recommendation for those who love the base game.
Control Resonant is absolutely worth the wait. Some of the open-world aspects put strain on the exploration but, there’s enough curiosities and compelling events both in that world and in the combat design to recover every time fatigue begins to set in.
The Dune: Awakening console launch is exciting. The console experience largely matches what players have on PC, but its single-player mode also opens the door to more players who want to play alone without sacrificing quality for them or the game’s existing multiplayer base.
This is a turn-your-brain-off-and-go-for-a-ride spectacle that occasionally punches above its weight. That works to some extent, but Marvel’s Wolverine doesn’t live up to the creative standard Insomniac Games is known for, and Logan has never been known for playing it safe.
Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is a Hot Wheels fan’s dream. Best of all, it does the Hot Wheels brand even more justice.
NHL 27's same old modes feel tired, and the gameplay feels ornery.
Whether it's the visuals, a puzzle's solution, or bumping into a screaming alien creature, Orbitals is awe-inspiring.
While its less-than-stellar features can be a game-breaker for some, Crimson Moon is an engaging, unique game that offers several great features.
Ultimately, any time you might spend on Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is better spent elsewhere. Any momentum built up in enjoying the game is derailed instantly when a bug forces you or a teammate out of the game, and the impressive visuals aren’t enough to make up for it.
The Blood of Dawnwalker is a fantastic RPG worthy of diving and sinking your fangs into again and again.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a great return for the franchise. Musashi is a fantastic new lead, with a supporting cast that shines.
Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters delivers a much sharper, more tactical experience than its predecessor and is built for the series faithful.
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is a giant leap in the right direction that takes us back in time, exploring more of the Plague Tale lore that opens the series' doors wide open to exciting possibilities.
Mortal Shell 2 is an improvement on the original in almost every way. Despite some flaws, it offers great gameplay elements, impeccable and striking visuals, fantastic combat, and more. As a result, it cements itself as one of the best Souls-likes of the year.
When Star Wars Zero Company is about the titular group, it’s an excellent example of quality tactical gameplay. Thankfully, a vast majority of the game is just that.
Blood Dungeon succeeds in what it sets out to do: be a 2D bonkers roguelike with endless possibilities. While not all of it works, like the drawn-out content and iffy level design, it has the making of yet another Messhof classic.
EA Sports Madden NFL 27 is a great re-entry point for anyone looking to get back on the gridiron. The changes are substantial, even if there are still bugs to work out.
The Sinking City 2 is difficult and pushes you to your limits. Yet every time it sings and embraces the incomprehensible Lovecraftian nightmares, Faye and Calvin’s story brings it all down.
STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT is a game that rewards your patience with some incredible storytelling. The character work is top-notch, and the updated visuals, streamlined story beats, and excellent performances make this easy to recommend to anyone looking for a new story to dive into.
The joy is found in how close to being like its heroes Duskfade is.
