One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows delivers style over substance. It’s a casual adventure/fighting game where chaos and spectacle take precedence over deep and strategic combat.
SPY×ANYA: Operation Memories, a spin-off from the popular anime SPYxFamily, focuses on the charming antics of Anya, providing a lighthearted and visually appealing experience.
Evil Dead: The Game succeeds with its multiplayer component, which is still enjoyable with friends, but if you're looking for a single-player experience, you'll be disappointed.
Rabbids: Party of Legends is enjoyable with friends, and there are several minigames to play, but its main weaknesses are the lack of online multiplayer and a poor adventure mode.
Shadow Warrior 3 takes the wrong cues from the Doom series, in this process losing much of its own identity.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is a fun premise that is performed mildly, missing out on the complexity of its inspiration and resulting in a shorter replay value.
Biomutant’s excellent crafting system stands out in an otherwise mundane action RPG that shows signs of potential, but falters in its execution.
The latest entry in The Dark Pictures Anthology delivers on the scares but really drops the ball during the run-up to its lackluster ending.
Sniper Elite V2 Remastered doesn't offer anything substantial to call for this upgrade in the name of a remaster. The game still feels dated and feels like it is several steps back compared to the modern sequels.
Deadly Premonition 2 unfortunately fails to establish itself in the modern gaming landscape. It still retains a unique identity but the disappointing technical performance has destroyed some of the goodwill carried from the first game.
A psychological horror gem disguised as a dating sim, Cooking Companions serves up chilling twists and compelling character drama—though its generic art style and illusion of choice leave some ingredients undercooked.
A solid but uneven debut for MercurySteam’s new IP, blending satisfying weapon-crafting with God of War-inspired combat. While its enemy variety falters and pacing stumbles early on, the deep forging system and punishing boss battles carve out a niche worth exploring. Not quite a masterpiece, but a promising foundation for future installments.
A relic of visual novel history, Never 7 offers a glimpse into Uchikoshi’s early work with its time-loop mechanic and sci-fi undertones. However, dated visuals, uneven writing, and a lackluster cast make it feel more like a curiosity than a must-play.
Urban Myth Dissolution Center offers a visually striking and intriguing mystery-solving experience with its nostalgic pixel art and modern twists. While the gameplay loop is engaging and the social media integration adds a fresh layer, the slow pacing, underdeveloped characters, and inconsistent case quality hold it back.
A solid but uneven return for a classic fighter, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. shines with its deep, technical gameplay and excellent rollback netcode but falters with stripped-down content and a lackluster tutorial. While its 3D combat remains engaging, the absence of single-player modes and controversial customization cuts leave fans wanting more. A promising yet flawed revival.
Atomic Heart - Enchantment Under The Sea is an electrifying continuation of the game's saga, delivering dynamic combat and an engaging narrative. This DLC enhances the base game's visual appeal and introduces inventive new weapons while shifting the focus from repetitive puzzles to more action-oriented gameplay.
A valiant return for the PS Vita classic, Freedom Wars Remastered transports players to a dystopian future with an engaging twist on the Monster Hunter formula. Despite the original's struggles due to the Vita's poor sales, this remaster brings back its intense resource-gathering missions and customizable characters with polished visuals for modern platforms. While the barren environments and thin story may not impress everyone, the solid combat system and intriguing multiplayer mode breathe new life into this forgotten gem.
A nostalgic trip down the survival horror lane, Enigma of Fear blends retro aesthetics with modern 3D animation, creating a visually captivating experience. Despite its charming art style, the game's interface and presentation can leave players lost and puzzled. With a focus on challenging puzzles and an eerie atmosphere, it demands keen observation and memory. While some aspects, like the navigation and UI, fall short, the solid writing and engaging combat make it a worthwhile adventure for old-school horror fans.
Metro Awakening ventures into VR with mixed results. The game offers detailed environments and immersive sound design but struggles with performance tweaks and long load times. While it answers key lore questions and provides solid gunplay, its linear and repetitive gameplay diminishes the overall experience. Though it doesn’t match the heights of VR titans like Half-Life: Alyx, it remains an engaging spin-off for Metro fans.
Natsu-Mon: 20th Century Summer Kid offers a nostalgic slice of rural Japanese life. The game creates a relaxing atmosphere for players to enjoy a carefree summer vacation. However, repetitive gameplay and technical issues, such as blurry visuals and performance drops on the Nintendo Switch, detract from the experience.
