Sonic Origins is undeniably fun with faithful recreations of the original games that represented the peak of the franchise. It, however, loses its momentum with unnecessary DLC that taints an otherwise charming love letter that celebrates 30 years for everyone’s favorite blue hedgehog.
OlliOlli World: VOID Riders is a welcome addition to the base game as it features lots of fun levels. And while it's difficulty may be on the tougher side (especially if you haven't beat the main game yet), it's a fun challenge overall with lots of cool additions.
The Quarry's pacing can be a tad slow, but it is short enough not to overstay its welcome before getting to a more tense pace. But the tension was not transferred onto the gameplay where choices acted as more of a respite during these hectic scenarios. Still, despite some questionable moments, it is pretty engaging game with a high replay value.
If you like investigative dramas and are interested in something that's more interactive than your typical TV show, Centennial Case might be up your alley.
Despite its initial glitches and issues, Warhammer 40k Chaos Gate - Daemon Hunters is a challenging game with many unique mechanics that sets it apart from other turn based tactical RPGs, all while having a challenging yet compelling difficulty. This makes it a game that we recommend highly to big Warhammer 40k fans.
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is a must-play for players who want to experience an impressive story with memorable characters, as well as surprisingly compelling real-time strategy gameplay.
The Skywalker Saga not only features an improved version of the classic Lego Star Wars gameplay, it also lets players experience the Star Wars saga in a fun and joyful way, as well as allowing them to explore the series' iconic locations thanks to large, semi-open world levels.
Edge of Eternity is a passion project by those people who really love JRPGs putting together. While it is a bit rough around the edges, there are great ideas here and some things to love, including a fair battle system and beautiful crafted world.
The Hong Kong is a stylish top-down shooter that, while not being the most original game out there, is an enjoyable experience.
Ghostwire: Tokyo is a game with an excellent atmosphere and great visuals but is let down by average gameplay and a forgettable story.
Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin offers a counterintuitive experience that has terrible presentation and an unintentionally hilarious narrative. It’s slightly saved by a fairly enjoyable combat and job system. Take both of those away, and this game will feel more like a parody of the legendary franchise.
Dungeon Encounters is what you get when you take solid JRPG combat and overall gameplay, but without lengthy dialogue and colorful visuals. If you want a JRPG simply for gameplay, this is a solid buy, but it might not be for RPG fans who want more in terms of story and visuals.
Developer Visual Concepts show how much they learned from their mistakes with WWE 2K22. A fantastic visual overhaul, more engaging gameplay changes, and extensive customization features make this a compelling purchase for wrestling fans who have been starving for a polished game. The extra featured modes show a lot of promise and it’ll be interesting to see how the franchise improves upon what is established right now.
Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is the franchise’s best expansion to date. A great story coupled with exciting new gameplay changes make this an amazing experience we have all been waiting and asking for. The future is looking really bright for the game and the only complaint I have is that I have to wait for all of it.
Gran Turismo 7 is a racing game that has something for everyone, whether it's car lovers, motorsport enthusiasts, or casual players. Not only is the campaign back, it also features compelling core gameplay, and is an excellent technical showcase for the PS5.
Elex 2 does not give a good initial experience due to technical issues. But if you stick with it and grind out its systems, you’ll be rewarded with a great time. The game may have received a 6/10, but if I were to review it based on just how many times I’ve laughed at something, it’s a solid 9/10.
King of Fighters XV is a solid entry into the long-running franchise. And while it may not be a major step up over its predecessor, it does add enough improvements to make it satisfy veterans and make it worth considering for newbies.
Elden Ring might just be FromSoftware's masterpiece thanks to its perfected combat, incredible open world design, and some of the best in the Soulsborne series. This game is practically a 10/10 in terms of pure gameplay, though the noticeable framerate drops deduct half a point from its score.
Horizon Forbidden West is a worthy sequel to Zero Dawn. While the second game in Aloy's journey doesn't bring anything groundbreaking, it does come with a much bigger scale, all while introducing enhancements that make exploration easier and combat deeper. But the reason to play this game is to get lost in the deep world and lore.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human has a compelling core gameplay loop, as well as a great day and night system that makes it a fun game to play. While the story could be better, and even with the bugs in the current build of the game, it's still overall well worth checking out.
