Denshattack! is a game unlike any other, something that needs to be experienced. The arcade-style approach helps players get straight into the game, but the mass variety it offers, simple, punishing gameplay and the addiction it creates will keep players coming back for more. Every aspect of the game carries style and personality, and the music by various gaming musicians and composers is a welcome addition to the vibrant, dynamic aesthetics. It’s time to board the Denshattack! hype train because it’s about to take off at breakneck speeds with no signs of slowing down.
Digimon Story Time Stranger proves that being a cyber-sleuth can be an involved job, yet a very satisfying one once you wrap your head around all the responsibilities that come with the role. I have plenty of mysteries ahead, but now I’m on the case; I’m keen to get this one solved.
Heave Ho 2 is a smart, creative multiplayer party experience that rewards creativity and patience. It won’t grab everyone immediately, but if you enjoy the party-game genre and are interested in a new approach that relies heavily on those playing with you, there’s something genuinely compelling here.
Is the Ultimate Guess Game for everyone? NO. Would I recommend the Ultimate Guess Game? NO.
Remaster, remake, rerelease: gamers know the terms, but what do we expect from them—updated graphics and better quality, of course. AC Black Flag Resynced delivers that and much more. Ubisoft gives the community what it asked for in the AC franchise: a return to the seas. Few games stand the test of time, yet 2013’s Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remains a staple in gaming and is still regarded as the best in the AC series.
High on Life 2’s Nintendo Switch 2 port has all the ingredients for a winning formula, but I wasn’t hooked. At release, I would expect games to be fully optimised, with only minor fixes as needed.
Traders Life Together is an enjoyable simulator that has plenty of great ideas, but it struggles because it tries to do too much at once. I really enjoyed the detailed stock placement system, the dynamic economy, and, obviously, the satisfaction of gradually growing your business over time. I couldn’t help but feel the game lost its core identity by piling on too many different mechanics.
It’s been a long time since the last Rhythm Paradise game, but the wait has been worth it. With so many challenging and addictive rhythm-based minigames for solo play or multiplayer fun, players will have hours upon hours of fun at their fingertips. Players will be moving and grooving in Rhythm Paradise Groove.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok is the kind of expansion that is bound to get Granblue Fantasy: Relink fans coming back again and again. Gorgeous, glorious and gratifying, I’m looking forward to conquering whatever Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok throws my way next.
Sonic Frontiers allowed fans to really step into the shoes of the blue hedgehog. Even though it’s a little rough around the edges, Sonic Frontiers was a huge step in the right direction and the Definitive Edition, with every update and new content included, shows what a modern Sonic game is capable of. The feeling it gives you is unlike anything that’s come before it. It has to be played to be believed.
Shooters, PvP – the world of online FPS PvP games is vast and wide, covering a wide range of styles, and in this market, almost every kind of studio has dipped its finger in the pie, and SAND: Raiders of Sophie is no different.
Star Fox on the Nintendo Switch 2 is exactly the kind of remake fans have been hoping for. It stays true to what made the Nintendo 64 classic so memorable while introducing enough visuals, audio and gameplay improvements to make it feel fresh for a new generation of gamers.
Overall, Rally Car Mechanic Simulator is a semi-in-depth simulator that caters for a wide market. I love how it keeps it simple to work on your cars, not forcing you to have a master’s degree to change a brake pad. The race system and how you perform in the car and what damage the cars take is well thought out and keeps you coming back to ensure you keep progressing into the big leagues in the A-Class cars and become a master mechanic with all the gadgets to fill your garage as badges of honour.
To each their own when it comes to horror; sometimes it hits, and sometimes it doesn’t. Speechless, developed by Blazingfallgames and published by TruemotionStudio, tends to fall short in some areas.
Overall, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is a great action RPG with satisfying boss fights and a world to explore. Some confusing systems hold it back from being the perfect experience, but it shouldn’t be passed up. If you like the classic Zelda games, this one should be right up your alley.
Overall, the Tour de France 2026 game is really for the cycling enthusiast who thrives on the technical and tactical nature of bike racing. The game is visually stunning, and you can really get lost in the beauty as you are pedalling along. The AI, from all reports, has been improved over previous titles, making it unpredictable and a real challenge, whether you are playing single-player or multiplayer. With the length of the races and the need to constantly monitor the weather and tactics, you will have hours of enjoyment in this title.
Dead or Alive 6 Last Round may not have been the upgrade we were hoping for. In its current state, not much has changed, aside from slightly improved graphics and faster load times. It plays the same and is still more of a casual game than a competitive fighter. It’s not a terrible game, but there’s a lot of room for needed improvement. Things could change with patch updates, but only time will tell.
Overall, I must admit, I really didn’t expect much from this title, but it shocked me. It is just a wholehearted fun game. There are no time limits, no stress, but you do have to plan your next move as you progress through the puzzles; they keep becoming more intricate. That’s what keeps you coming back, the challenge. There is no right or wrong way to complete the puzzles, as everyone may approach them from different sides and angles, etc., but we will all get the same result.
For what is ultimately a simple management simulator, Tollway Tycoon manages to create genuinely entertaining moments through its bizarre mix of disasters and chaotic events. While I enjoyed the quirky premise and the satisfaction of building a successful tollway, the repetitive gameplay loop, basic visuals and forgettable audio hindered it from becoming something I could sink dozens of hours into.
Overall, Dark Scrolls is a basic action platformer that stays true to the genre roots. It doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel and sticks to its strengths. The variation of characters and one life will ensure you get a few hours of enjoyment out of this game. If you enjoy this style of game, make sure to check out Doinksoft’s back catalogue, as they have released a number of these types of games, so you’ll never be disappointed!
