Monark's horror vibe is a nice touch but the needless and frustrating grinding paired with bland world design make this hard to recommend to anyone but the most hardcore JRPG fans.
Horizon Forbidden West is the rare sequel that not only improves on every mechanic but also creates a lived-in world full of danger and wonder in every corner.
Infernax is quite the paradox. A quarter-stealing arcade game with sympathetic support for all players. Don't miss it.
Sifu can often be satisfying when things come together and the action unfolds like a martial arts film but the difficulty will divide players.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human adds more than enough fresh content to keep it feeling like a necessary follow-up. Aside from a tepid story, you'll find a rewarding experience that will appeal to those coming back for seconds and the newly initiated.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the evolution the franchise has desperately needed and while there are some growing pains, visiting Hisui is nothing short of legendary.
Whether you’re a first-time treasure hunter or a renowned collector, returning to the world of Uncharted with the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is worth checking out.
Windjammers 2 is a commendable follow-up that celebrates the series while adding several worthwhile mechanics to complement the competitive space in the future.
Despite the odds, Halo Infinite is not only spiritually rebooted, but delivered with love in spades. From its personal & emotional delivery of Master Chief’s story to the mystery & exploration of Zeta Halo, it is not to be missed.
Chorus has some interesting ideas that the genre sorely needs but the dogfights in space can only go so far and generally drag the rest of the experience down.
Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain will keep your kids entertained and friends engaged. It's a great game made for quick rounds and large laughs that'll put your brain to work.
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl return players to the Sinnoh region and are packed with nostalgia and quality of life improvements that make them the most accessible remakes yet.
Shin Megami Tensei V elevates the mainline series in such a satisfying way thanks to brilliant combat, a satisfying story and tons of customization. If you're looking for a challenge that will reward you, look no further.
Forza Horizon 5 is the biggest and best game in the series, moving players to the stunning landscapes of Mexico with limitless fun and adventures.
Mario Party Superstars is a love letter to the series' early beginning on the Nintendo 64. With improved game boards, a collection of 100 minigames, and a group of friends, this collection honours the Mario Party legacy.
Everything about Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy could have gone terribly wrong, instead, it delivers one of the most surprising and entertaining games this year.
While being as close to Left 4 Dead 3 as possible, Back 4 Blood differentiates itself with a card system and new zombies that make for a game you'll keep coming back to.
There’s a reason we’ve classified an entire genre of games as Metroidvania – the queen cannot be toppled, and Metroid Dread is a shining example of how the original is always better.
Xuan Yuan Sword 7 has some interesting ideas and an exciting backdrop but it won’t be for everyone. The game's battle system has is decent but lacks the depth that makes actually playing the game memorable.
An exciting battle system paired with gorgeous visuals will pull players in. Astria Ascending has the makings of a classic JRPG but falls short with forgettable storytelling and a bad English dub.
