Gfinity's Reviews
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is a dark, unapologetically explicit survival horror game that faithfully captures the franchise’s BDSM aesthetic and grotesque body horror, elevated by impressive world design and Doug Bradley’s stellar voice performance as Pinhead. However, its immersive atmosphere is heavily dragged down by severe mechanical friction, including fragile weapon durability, checkpoint-free boss fights, and bugged save files that risk wiping hours of progress.
Overall, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse proves that Evil Empire knows exactly how to honor a legacy without being stuck in the past. It has its flaws—namely, its subdued soundtrack, uneven boss design, and somewhat slow start—but its atmospheric world, deliberate combat, and rewarding exploration make it a standout experience for Metroidvania fans.
Valor Mortis is a largely successful blend of the soulslike genre and first-person action. The story becomes the player's main drive, featuring an intriguing, mysterious plot set in an uncharted time period. Its linear world design goes well with the Metroidvania exploration and gameplay mechanics, as it never feels stale on a first run. A simple skill tree and weapons/Transmutations upgrade path diminish any replay value, something that buyers should know before acquiring it.
Gears of War: E-Day delivers arguably the franchise's finest, most atmospheric campaign, brilliantly balancing pulse-pounding action with genuine horror roots. By pairing breathtaking Series X visuals and refined combat with a deeply emotional return to Marcus and Dom, The Coalition has delivered a masterclass prequel that restores complete faith in Xbox's future. A triumph from start to finish.
Overall, I really enjoyed my time with Neon Abyss 2. It’s fun, easy to pick up and play, packed with progression systems to keep you hooked, and offers customization that lets you make runs as easy or as hard as you want. I would’ve loved more opportunities to build proper builds rather than mostly incremental upgrades each run, which could have added an extra layer of complexity that best-in-class games have.
Overall I’m absolutely addicted to Star Wars: Galactic Racer. It’s as close as we’ve ever gotten to the thrills of the original N64 game. While far from perfect, Fuse Games has delivered a uniquely fun, high-speed roguelite racer that any Star Wars fan should pick up and play.
Crisis Core Reunion on the Nintendo Switch 2 is a fantastic release of a solid game. It’s one of those rare instances where it easily becomes the definitive way to play a classic—especially since tracking down a working PSP in this economy is getting harder by the day.The only glaring downside is, once again, Square Enix's refusal to offer an upgrade path for fans who bought the inferior original Switch version.
Minecraft Dungeons 2 takes undeniable steps forward with a fully interconnected Overworld, much-needed mobility upgrades, and a visually striking new dimension that teases the franchise's future. However, despite a deeper loot system and smart quality-of-life changes, the core experience doesn't step out of its comfort zone quite enough to convert anyone who wasn't already a fan. Ultimately, it remains a highly polished, accessible "Diablo for kids" that existing fans will adore, even if it leaves hardcore ARPG veterans wanting more.
FC 27 feels like a giant step forward and a frustrating step back all at once. Behind the headlines of Career Mode overhauls and new social spaces lies an experience bogged down by clunky design choices and repetitive bugs. It has the foundational ideas to be a turning point for the franchise, but until EA addresses the glaring lack of polish, fans are left waiting for the game to live up to its real potential.
Ultimately, Silent Hill: Townfall is an interesting experiment: both a masterclass in atmospheric dread and environmental puzzle design that gets bogged down by an exhausting, uneven, frustrating gameplay loop. Screen Burn’s St. Amelia is a desolate destination well worth visiting for its sheer aesthetic brilliance. But between the trial-and-error stealth and a narrative that fails to stick its landing, it's an experience that will definitely test your patience. It may not be as flawless as fans hoped, but for those willing to endure its frustrating lows, its brilliant highs are well worth it.
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a visually stunning departure that trades the series' beloved tactical combat for heavy JRPG exploration. While the core grid battles are brilliant, they are too often buried under clunky real-time dungeons and tedious open-world busywork. It is an ambitious, beautiful experiment, but strategy purists may find themselves left out in the cold.
Overall, Wild Blue Skies is a charming, budget-friendly tribute to classic Star Fox that delivers plenty of arcade replayability, colorful locales, and stellar voice work for a modest $15 price point. Sadly, uninspired boss fights, frame-rate hitches, and a heavy reliance on its SNES inspirations keep it from carving out a truly unique identity. Chuhai Labs has crafted a fun, nostalgic alternative for rail-shooter fans. If you’re looking to scratch that Fox McCloud itch without breaking the bank, this flight is well worth taking.
You’ve likely played Xenoblade or know what to expect at this point. The bottom line is that if Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was already a must-play almost a decade ago, you’re doing yourself a disservice by not having this in your Switch 2 collection in 2026.
Despite its late-game stumbles, Orbitals is an utter joy that captures the nostalgia and innocence of classic anime, turning it into an inventive, thoroughly enjoyable co-op adventure. With brilliant puzzles, a gorgeous setting, and lovable protagonists, Shapefarm has delivered a trip down memory lane worth taking. It’s a stacked month of releases, but if you’re a Switch 2 owner, this needs to be in your orbit. (Not proud of that one).
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a fantastic return for a franchise many thought Capcom had left behind. Even when I thought combat had hit its peak, the game kept layering on deeper mechanics, richer upgrades, and thrilling boss encounters that demand your absolute best. In a stacked month of massive releases, Musashi’s journey isn't just worth your time—it's an absolute must-play for action fans.
Final Fantasy XIV on the Switch 2 is a triumph that transforms Square Enix's legendary MMO into an accessible, drop-in joy. By delivering solid handheld performance, bypassing the family TV battle, and eliminating archaic Mog Station billing headaches through the eShop, this port removes every major barrier to entry for casual and returning players alike.
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is the complete package for Marvel diehards and tag fighters alike. Top-tier presentation, incredibly rewarding single-player modes, and a welcoming onboarding system that makes learning the ropes feel genuinely fun. While launch-window netcode hiccups, unoptimized crossplay, and clunky PC performance keep it from achieving immediate must-buy status, the foundational gameplay underneath is solid enough to stick with it. Once ArcSys irons out the online kinks, Tokon has all the makings of a mainstay that will keep the FGC hooked for years to come.
Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster on Switch 2 is an essential pickup for newcomers, bringing timeless combat and game-changing PC boosters to a sharp handheld presentation. However, with almost identical side-by-side visuals, a locked 30fps, and no save transfer option or upgrade path, existing Switch 1 owners should hold off for a decent sale.
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is the best version of a must-play RPG. By hitting a solid 60fps performance boost for the most part, adding traversal options like the Ether Jet, and bringing in new fully voiced character interactions, Monolith Soft has refined everything that held previous releases back from truly shining.
Halo Campaign Evolved delivers breathtaking visual upgrades, polished cutscenes, and standout prequel missions that give PlayStation players a taste of Xbox history. However, dated 2001 level design and the baffling omission of competitive multiplayer significantly reduce its overall value. It’s an enjoyable nostalgia trip through Halo’s classic campaign, but a tough sell at full price, especially for veterans.
