Mexican Ninja does not need to be perfect to be enjoyable. Its best ideas work together surprisingly well. The combat gives you a reason to keep moving, the upgrades give you a reason to keep experimenting, and the permanent progression gives you a reason to start another run after a defeat.
WARDOGS is at its best when you stop treating it like another conventional FPS and start treating it like a battlefield. You are one part of a much larger operation, and your job does not have to involve pulling a trigger.
Dungeon Settlers has an addictive dungeon-and-colony loop, but rough combat, grinding, and shallow management keep this promising Early Access game from reaching its full potential.
Train Sim World 7 expands the series with better visuals, varied routes, strong train handling, and an excellent Freight Hauler mode. Minor traffic and presentation issues remain, but the overall package is hard to fault.
Honeycomb: The World Beyond is a survival game for folks who want to be curious, not constantly pressured. If you are a fan of games focused on exploration, crafting, study, animals, plants, and building a home in an alien world, then this could be one of the most enticing options in the category.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword gets it right that the best moments are putting a sword in your hand and fighting an ever more intriguing series of monsters. Onimusha is back after over two decades, and it’s a game worthy of the name. It’s not flawless, but it’s great combat, great bosses, an amazing presentation, and a great samurai feel, making it one of Capcom’s most successful reboots.
The Blood of Dawnwalker will suit gamers looking for a serious, immersive dark fantasy role-playing game with choice-making elements and a vampire-themed environment, rather than one that simply includes vampires. There will be no denying that the game has some flaws, in particular, in terms of combat diversity and traversal. However, the game's best mechanics work together rather than separately.
Agent 64: Spies Never Die successfully revives the charm of classic N64 shooters with fun multiplayer, retro visuals, and replayability, though dated combat, weak AI, and progression issues remain.
Breathedge 2 does not need to be complicated to be enjoyable. Its strength comes from taking a straightforward survival formula and making it feel like its own thing.
No More Room in Hell 2 is a surprisingly strong 1.0 comeback. Its tense eight-player co-op, meaningful progression, and atmospheric maps make it a great choice for zombie fans willing to give it another chance.
Vacation Cafe Simulator delivers a gorgeous Italian getaway with relaxing exploration and charming cooking, but repetitive tasks and shallow management keep its café fantasy from reaching its full potential.
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy ultimately feels less like a dramatic makeover and more like Asobo finding a second identity for its brand. It may not have the emotional devastation of Amicia and Hugo's story, but Sophia's trip has enough personal drama to warrant its place.
ELDEN RING Tarnished Edition remains difficult, mysterious, enormous, and occasionally frustrating, but those qualities are still part of what makes it special. You are given a world that does not always explain itself, enemies that can punish mistakes, and a progression system that offers you countless ways to respond.
STAR WARS Zero Company illustrates there’s still much of the galaxy far, far away to be mined for untapped potential in games. Bit Reactor’s first major project not only fulfills the Star Wars strategy game that fans wanted, but sets the stage for something that could be much better in the future.
METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol.2 finally frees MGS4 from PlayStation 3 jail, delivering excellent performance alongside two preserved classics, making it essential for longtime Metal Gear fans.
Ledgerbound feels like a game with a good idea trapped inside an unfinished package. The tactical foundation is there. The customization is promising. The voice cast is excellent. The humor occasionally hits the mark. But the game needs more polish, better pacing, stronger writing, and a much friendlier save system before all those good ideas can really shine.
MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls is not perfect, but its strengths are much more important than its shortcomings. It feels fresh without losing the bits of fighting games you know. And it has enough depth that you can keep discovering new possibilities long after you learn the basics. For a new fighter, it makes a strong argument for itself on the PS5 as one of the more enjoyable entries in the genre.
Mortal Shell II feels like a sequel that gets that bigger-is-better when it adds to the original notion. It’s still a weird, hard, and often messy Souls-like, but it’s also a really interesting action RPG with its own unique visual identity and a rewarding sense of discovery.
Expeditions: Samurai isn't quite a finished masterpiece at this point, but it's a very promising foundation, strong enough to make an eventual full release worth seeing.
The Sinking City 2 successfully transforms Frogwares' detective series into a tense survival horror game, delivering excellent puzzles, atmospheric exploration, satisfying combat, and Lovecraftian horror, despite predictable enemies and uneven performances.
