The journey back to Nowhere, now with fresh protagonists and a seamless co-op mode, feels both familiar (maybe too familiar) and new at the same time.
Despite its more streamlined narrative, familiar genre beats, and sometimes repetitive nature, Ghost of Yōtei is an experience that's worth the wait and more. It honors the spirit of Ghost of Tsushima while evolving its systems in meaningful ways, offering a refreshingly fresh and refined combat experience, deeper customization, and a richly realized world. Ghost of Yōtei is unmissable. Exploring Ezo Island is a rewarding experience in Ghost of Yōtei, whether you're admiring its breathtaking landscapes or engaging in dynamic combat that challenges your adaptability and mastery of diverse weaponry. Atsu’s personal quest for vengeance may occasionally take a backseat to the wealth of activities available, but the journey remains compelling throughout.
Despite its departure from the familiar urban landscapes of previous entries, Silent Hill f stands as a compelling and worthy addition to the franchise’s storied legacy. From its hauntingly atmospheric opening to its emotionally charged and unsettling finale, Hinako’s journey offers a memorable experience that will spark discussion long after the credits roll.

Overall, Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree is a worthwhile play for roguelite enthusiasts, incorporating elements from other similar titles and wrapping them in anime-inspired packaging that plays as good as it looks. The game also makes efforts at innovation, employing a dual-hero system that adds replayability and experimentation. This is not just another Hades clone, despite what it looks like at a glance. In fact, it's safe to say that this title will surprise many, if given a chance. There's a heartfelt and memorable story, paired with a great cast of characters that shine. Despite having too much dialogue at times, players who choose to immerse themselves in the world will be pleased. While not as in-depth as other roguelites, systems-wise, Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree is a title that can definitely stand on its own, thanks to its innovations and gameplay.
Borderlands 4 is back in great form thanks to its exceptional customization, dynamic open world, and reinvented boss battles. Gearbox Software clearly listened to its community, addressing past critiques with a sprawling, interactive map, expansive skill trees, and guns that feel genuinely unique.
Lost Soul Aside is a competent and visually striking title that features a solid combat system inspired by titles such as Devil May Cry. Its gameplay mechanics offer fluid and engaging battles, while the visual presentation delivers impressive character designs and expansive environments that elevate the overall appeal. However, its story ultimately falls short of leaving a lasting impression. The plot suffers from a lack of emotional depth and is marred by inconsistent voice acting and a script that fails to hook the players. Lost Soul Aside is not without merit, but it struggles to set itself apart in a crowded genre.
Any other year, and SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance could have easily been considered as a Game of the Year contender. It's that good. From the stunning visuals to its fast-paced combo-based gameplay, the game is pure bliss and such an audiovisual treat from start to finish. It understands what makes action platformers great and executes its vision with style and precision. Despite its short runtime of about 10 hours, there's enough replayability to keep players coming back. From optional collectibles to combat and platforming challenges, all of these work toward improving Joe as he becomes a force to be reckoned with. The game can be tough, and while some challenges can be frustrating, they never seem so unfair that they feel out of reach.
Mafia: The Old Country delivers a concise experience anchored by a well-crafted, albeit highly predictable, storyline that can be finished in a weekend. While the narrative doesn’t break new ground, it remains engaging enough to carry players through to the end, thanks in large part to strong performances. Unfortunately, the gameplay struggles to keep pace. Its simplicity isn’t inherently a flaw, but when paired with repetitive design and underwhelming enemy AI, it becomes clear that the story is doing most of the heavy lifting. The result is a game that feels narratively rich but mechanically underdeveloped.
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound proves that going back to basics can be an excellent choice, especially when done right. With its finely tuned mechanics, replayable level structure, and fluid gameplay, the game delivers an exciting platforming experience that feels both familiar and fresh. Players are constantly rewarded for execution as the game sticks to a tried and true formula that feels perfected. Despite some minor nitpicks regarding difficulty spikes and game length, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is another feather in the cap of an already successful series. As a new mainline installment looms on the horizon, this entry is an exceptional way to bide the time.
For their debut entry, Leenzee Games delivers a remarkable and compelling effort with Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. It faithfully incorporates the trademark qualities of Soulslike games while introducing mechanics and nuances that give it a distinct identity. As with titles in the genre, the game will undoubtedly test players, but the satisfaction of overcoming each encounter is well worth the struggle. The game definitely treads familiar ground, but it has enough tweaks and a distinct visual identity to make it stand out.
Shadow Labyrinth offers a compelling Metroidvania experience that reimagines a classic character in an entirely new light. Though its appeal may vary depending on player preferences, the game delivers an engaging adventure anchored by a strong narrative that hooks players until the end. While later levels may lose some of their initial spark, the journey remains rewarding thanks to its atmospheric design and thoughtful storytelling amidst repetition and the lack of doing something new.
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach builds meaningfully upon the foundation laid by its predecessor, delivering a more dynamic and visually arresting sequel anchored by an emotional narrative that doesn't let go until the finish. It invites returning porters and newcomers alike to rediscover its strange, beautiful world with a renewed sense of wonder, reminding us that Kojima magic is very much alive. Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is absolutely essential and a must-play title that could easily get Game of the Year nods yet again. Hideo Kojima and Kojima Productions have delivered a unique and gripping experience, guiding us through the wilderness and reminding us that every step, no matter how uncertain, brings us closer to connection.
Raidou Remastered is a faithful revival of a cult classic, enhanced with modern features that make it welcoming even for newcomers to the Shin Megami Tensei universe. The combat remains engaging, elevated by strategic demon management and the addictive fusion system. For collectors, the thrill of assembling a diverse roster of demons is as compelling as ever, especially with skill inheritance playing a crucial role.
Elden Ring Nightreign introduces an unexpected yet compelling multiplayer PvE experience, offering a fresh take on the series while incorporating familiar roguelite mechanics. True to FromSoftware’s reputation, Nightreign delivers challenging gameplay that rewards perseverance and strategic play. Players won’t face the trials alone this time, and playing with a full team enhances each encounter's depth and intensity. Despite lacking some basic features like crossplay and voice chat, Nightreign successfully delivers a distinctive Elden Ring experience that will hopefully get more content in the coming months.
Blades of Fire is not a game for everyone, but players who choose to invest in its deep and highly involved systems will be treated with a title that rewards persistence and creativity. The game's combat and forging systems are the star of the show and really make it stand out among its contemporaries. It is a surprise, especially from a developer such as MercurySteam. However, it is also dragged down by its uninspired story and world that would fail to hook players from its dreadful start and premise. It's a respectable effort and worth checking out if you overlook its flaws.
Doom: The Dark Ages is another standout release from id Software. It showcases a bold departure from Doom Eternal’s gameplay foundations while innovating on the tried-and-true FPS formula. While the action remains fast-paced and visceral, this installment embraces a more grounded approach, delivering impactful and satisfying combat with every strike. Doom: The Dark Ages is a hellishly spectacular experience and possibly worthy of Game of the Year nods. While Doom Eternal purists may find its more deliberate combat style a departure from previous entries, the game stands confidently alongside its predecessors as a must-play for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
Days Gone's initial release faced challenges that kept it from joining the ranks of PlayStation’s most celebrated exclusives. While Bend Studio has no confirmed plans for a sequel, their commitment to refining and improving the game has resulted in a more polished and definitive experience, making it a must-play this time. With enhanced gameplay mechanics and new modes, Days Gone Remastered is the most complete version of the game, making it a worthwhile experience for newcomers and longtime fans. Perhaps its revival could spark interest in a sequel, proving that some stories deserve a second chance.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a resounding triumph from Sandfall Interactive. It delivers a refreshingly bold RPG experience that stands out in a genre often crowded with titles that miss the mark. With meticulous balance, the game offers a blend of old meets new while crafting a tightly woven narrative alongside an excellent turn-based combat system that is simple to learn and strategically deep.
After so long, Fatal Fury makes a long-awaited triumphant return. For fans, this is a dream fulfilled as Mark of the Wolves left many stories unfinished when it launched back in 1999. The series seamlessly adapts to modern times with City of the Wolves, introducing unique mechanics that promise to deliver intense experiences for solo and competitive players. The game also feels like a heartfelt tribute to SNK enthusiasts, packed with familiar elements that long-time fans of the company’s other fighting franchises, particularly Art of Fighting, will recognize. Fatal Fury’s deep lore continues to shine as the story progresses, leaving room to explore South Town and beyond.
