Fight School Simulator is an interesting concept with some fun ideas, but it has so much going against it. Graphics are outdated, animations are bland, voice acting is uninspiring, it misrepresents Asian cultures, and the overuse of generative AI just drags down the experience. Fight School Simulator feels like it gives up on itself too early and ends up being a McDojo looking to make a quick buck.
Kusan: City of Wolves is a fun yet difficult arcade action game with dynamic combat and a story that is serious but convoluted. If you liked Hotline Miami and want more of that, I think this game is definitely for you.
Overall, Bodycam from developer and publisher Reissa Studio is a masterclass in FPS design. The new Locked and Loaded update brings a major overhaul to many systems, so now is a great time to jump in. For me, this update sets a new benchmark with its realistic graphics and environments, top-class sound, and fast-action gameplay. Coupled with the numerous customisation options, if you are up for a challenge, this title definitely lives up to the hype and previews; it’s a must-play for anyone who enjoys FPS.
NBA 2K27 is easily one of the strongest entries the series has delivered in years. The refined ProPLAY gameplay, historical MyCAREER Eras, co-ed City and deeper MyPLAYER builder are backed by meaningful improvements across MyNBA, MyTEAM, The W and MyWNBA. Combined with responsive controls, excellent graphics and authentic sound design, this is a seriously impressive basketball experience that kept giving me reason to return to the court.
Dune: Awakening nails the unforgiving atmosphere of Arrakis. When the survival loop clicks—distilling your own water, piecing together a reliable shelter, and making a mad dash across worm-infested sands—it delivers genuine tension.
he game has a great base for what could be a glorious action-adventure and sim hybrid, but the visuals and some clunky gameplay elements felt too trapped in the past. With some modern gameplay improvements, BLACKWOOD has a strong foundation to become a memorable cinematic action experience that could stand the test of time.
Sniper Dan takes the traditional hidden-object formula and gives it a ridiculous but surprisingly enjoyable twist. Searching colourful environments, finding the right target and then solving the problem with a well-placed sniper shot kept things simple and entertaining, while the upgrades gave me something to work towards. The soundtrack did start to get repetitive after a while, but overall, I had a genuinely fun time with Sniper Dan, and it’s easily one of the more unique hidden-object games I have played.
It’s been a long time coming for Wolverine’s latest solo adventure from the same studio that made the highly successful Spider-Man games, but it has finally arrived. It may not be a Game of the Year contender, but it is still an action-packed adventure with a gripping and emotional story. The claws are finally out, and they are thirsty for blood in Marvel’s Wolverine!
I wasn’t expecting much from BrokenLore: DON’T LIE, and I still left disappointed. I can easily blame myself for still not being able to understand what terrifies Japanese culture. But the experience here doesn’t feel complete, and with only a two-hour runtime, it was a blessing that it ended so quickly.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Complete Edition remains a brutally challenging but rewarding action RPG, with excellent combat, memorable boss fights and plenty of content packed into the one release. Unfortunately, the Nintendo Switch 2 version is held back by inconsistent frame rate and some significant visual compromises, particularly in handheld mode.
Lou’s Lagoon delivers chill gameplay for a few comfy nights in of busywork without any actual physical labour. At times, the process of completing tasks can feel overly repetitive. Still, Lou’s Lagoon is a cute, casual game that blends plenty of elements of a wholesome, cosy game into one whimsical little package that might still be worth picking up for casual gamers.
Devil May Cry 5 is the game fans have been begging for, and they finally got it in 2019. Since then, the game has received ports to modern consoles and lots of additional content that longtime fans appreciate. The Switch 2 version may be missing a few things, but it still has so much put into Nintendo’s hybrid console. Currently, there’s no word on a new Devil May Cry game, but diehard fans sure are hopeful, and there is potential for new stories to be told. For players wanting an action-packed, stylish and gloriously violent game at home or on the go, Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition is where it’s at.
Dumb Ways to Build takes everything that makes the franchise so lovable and turns it into a genuinely entertaining co-op experience. The colourful visuals, ridiculous physics, proximity chat and simple building mechanics work together to create plenty of hilarious and also frustrating moments. Positioning objects can feel a little touchy, but it doesn’t take away from the overall fun experience. If you have a couple of mates that you can embrace the chaos with, I highly recommend trying this game out.
Even though the series did reach its conclusion and Hideo Kojima is long gone from Konami, we believe the Metal Gear franchise still has more to offer. It feels great to be a Metal Gear fan, and we cannot wait to see what the future holds. Until then, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 is another solid compilation of classic era-defining games that can now be relived on modern consoles.
Serious Sam is one of those games you can just load up, hit a few rounds of killing aliens, and feel satisfied with what you have achieved. Shoot, punch, heal, kill it’s simple and fun, a great way to end or start your day. The sheer fact that we are still making this type of game in 2026 is just a testament to what a solid community can do when you make something fun. If you’re a fan of the series, this entry will satisfy your inner Sam.
The previous two Hot Wheels games felt closer to being toys, with tracks set up in bedrooms, offices and other locations, but the latest game drifts away from that theme and presents it as being in its own world. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but many fans will prefer the feel of racing accurately sized Hot Wheels cars, which set them apart from many other racing games. Of course, everything is up to personal preference, and Hot Wheels Infinite Rush has a lot to offer to the racing genre.
Devs, Rebel Wolves take the typical RPG formula and infuse their own unique take on a vampire game into a dark fantasy that stands on its own. I can see The Blood of Dawnwalker enduring the test of time, and I’m keen to see where Rebel Wolves take players next.
Overall, Retro Arcade Shop Simulator is a solid simulation game. It brings back that nostalgia from when you were young, saving up and going to the arcade. There is so much customisation, with more to come. You can ensure your shop is perfect, just the way you want it.
Do you find chaos abhorrent? Mall: Tidy Up Together is a game of unadulterated pleasure: sorting items strewn across the floor back into an orderly form on the shelves. Mall: Tidy Up Together lets me wallow in my own crapulence of satisfaction without the leering eyes of bystanders judging me for thinking I am better than everyone else because I forced order out of chaos.
Mortal Shell 2 is a solid follow-up to the first game. Excellent combat and a dark fantasy world create a creepy, oppressive atmosphere, making it a strong contender in the Soulslike genre. However, some inconsistent balancing holds it back from taking that next step and becoming something truly special.
