Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 is here, bringing with it two very different but equally essential experiences that bring Snake's story to a close while wrapping up loose ends left by Snake Eater.
Gallipoli is an all-around improvement for the World War I series, bringing sharper visuals and better gameplay to one of the conflict's least-explored fronts.
Starsand Island is a decent farming sim, however the Nintendo Switch 2 version is filled with so many bugs, it needs an industrial-grade insecticide to make it playable.
The Sinking City 2 offers a solid survival horror experience that feels both different and similar to its predecessor.
Mortal Shell II is easily one of the biggest improvements from one entry to the next that I've seen in this space.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is a decent enough port, but nowhere near the level of quality it should be for what the system is capable of.
Bubbly Basin, Pokémon Pokopia's first DLC, hits all the right notes to offer one of its best regions and a solid infusion of new things to find.
Madden NFL 27 adds so much more functionality that it feels like a chess match with athletes as the pieces instead of just another Madden title.
I often struggle to keep up with games due to being an adult and doing adult things, but MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls has unlocked something in me that has me very eager to get back into the competitive circuit and continue to improve.
STEIN'SGATE RE:BOOT is good because STEINS;GATE as a story is, but doesn't make a great case as a remake. It has beautiful backgrounds but mixed characters.
Wild Blue Skies shines when it deviates from the Star Fox formula with some truly phenomenal missions.
Duskfade feels like a throwback to action platformers from the PS2 era, and while it stumbles in some areas, it's a lot of fun.
Defender of the Crown: The Legend Returns can still be a bit obtuse at times, but makes up for it with fresh QoL improvements and a genuinely interesting new game mode.
Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is the rare case of a game that got delayed because it needed more time to cook and actually got fixed.
What Torn Banner has built is a genuinely tense, occasionally nerve-shredding co-op horror game that respects its 2011 roots more than almost anything else available right now.
Mistfall Hunter has a few good ideas, but lacklustre gameplay and somewhat shallow RPG elements make the extraction elements more monotonous than engaging.
Doloc Town is a genuinely fun and incredibly adorable blend of farming sim and platformer set in a post-apocalyptic world, adding a genuinely unique vibe to the genre.
Sovereign Tower is a fun and deep management RPG with great writing and a strong time travel mechanic that pulls at you, for better results or for worse.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on the Nintendo Switch 2 is a transformative experience, delivering a full 1080p and 2160p image in portable and TV play, with a very stable 60fps to boot.
Big Walk delivers on a promise that's rare in cooperative games: nothing here is scripted, and the funniest moments are ones the game couldn't have planned even if it wanted to.
