Dead of Darkness channels classic survival horror yet carves its own identity with a twisty story and sharp design. Combat and puzzles are serviceable but dragged down by cheap insta-kills.
Death Stranding 2 elevates every mechanic from traversal to combat, balances heartfelt drama with Kojima’s trademark oddness, and shines with breathtaking visuals, making it a near-flawless sequel.
Raidou Remastered transforms a forgotten Atlus action RPG into a near remake, offering engaging combat and a unique premise. Despite a weak story, fans and newcomers will find plenty to enjoy.
Chronicles of the Wolf mirrors classic gameplay so faithfully that, despite its rich atmosphere and engaging adventure, stiff controls and frequent frustration undermine the experience.
A challenging roguelike spinoff set in an alternate timeline of Elden Ring, emphasizing co-op gameplay, procedural maps, and familiar bosses. While visually stunning and engaging, it's best suited for seasoned Elden Ring players at this point.
Scar-Lead Salvation feels unfinished, with a weak story, dull enemies, and generic environments. While movement and combat have appeal, shallow roguelike elements make its price hard to justify.
Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma takes bold gameplay risks with mostly positive results. Despite AI quirks and weaker combat, its engaging story and lovable cast make it a worthy time sink.
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon offers a dark, unique take on Arthurian legend with strong storytelling and engaging combat, but frequent bugs and crashes make for a frustrating experience.
Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny returns for a new generation, keeping its charm despite its dated aspects. While lacking major upgrades, its cast and refined combat still make demon-slaying a blast.
Death end re;Quest: Code Z had potential but fell short. Despite the returning cast and Sayaka's appeal, a weak plot and bland gameplay hold it back, making it a spin-off suited only for die-hard fans
RoadCraft is an amazing simulation experience, but one that doesn't attempt to open its doors to mainstream audiences. Those who already love this brand of games however, will surely find something very satisfying behind the wheels of this heavy machinery.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 bundles the obscure together in a compilation that aims to please with its unique blend of the other side of the fighting genre. While it may not be without its blemishes, there is sure to be something in this package for everyone.
DOOM: The Dark Ages is a solid prequel with expanded lore, inventive gameplay additions such as using mechs and dragons. It features great level design & good soundtrack, though it lacks Eternal's intensity and polish.
The Precinct blends action with police simulation and a solid '80s aesthetic, but underdeveloped storytelling, rough mechanics, and bugs tarnish what could have been a standout experience.
The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered brings back nostalgia in a big way. Featuring enhanced visuals and presentation, it’s hard to not appreciate all of the love and care Bethesda have applied to this remaster.
Cooking Companions serves up dread masterfully, telling a chilling tale with multiple endings. Despite some nagging issues, its eerie atmosphere makes this indie horror game a juicy treat.
Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate’s visual upgrades, addition of an English dub, and new co-op action breathe new life into this beat’em up even if it feels like more could have been done.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an ambitious take on an old genre that is just as gratifying to look at as it is to engage in. A new franchise is born.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is a satisfying fighter with a gorgeous art style but odd roster inclusions, bad menus, and a rocky multiplayer launch issue dampen this long awaited return.
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage captures its dual eras perfectly while delivering an emotional story with new elements, even if bugs and poor writing decisions drag it down in the second half.
