As slow-paced Sumerian Six can be at times, it’s by design, as you must often stop and think about how you may approach each scenario. The gameplay is satisfying, and the narrative has you hooked, especially if you are a sci-fi and history buff. While there might be some very minor hiccups, they are rare and far between and do not take away from the Nazi ass-kicking fun.
Overall, Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf is a polished masterpiece. The way the developers guide you into creating your own storyline is such a unique feature and something different in this saturated genre. Coupled with the untamed graphics and atmosphere, if this is your genre, don’t hesitate to buy it now!
WWE 2K26 feels like a monumental step forward for the series, offering a truly complete WWE experience that caters to every type of fan. From its expansive roster of over 400 playable characters to the revamped gameplay mechanics, modes and customisation options. Whether you’re reliving CM Punk’s career in 2K Showcase, staking your claim on The Island, managing a brand in MyGM, building unstoppable teams in MyFaction, or charting your path to glory in MyRise, WWE 2K26 delivers something for all the fans out there.
Two Point Museum is a management simulator game created by Two Point Studios. While the new expansion, “Two Point Museum: Zooseum,” still involves curating relics of the past, it now focuses on animals. As the overseer and head zookeeper on Nintendo Switch 2, playing Two Point Museum: Zooseum gave me a new appreciation for wildlife conservationists.
Overall, my experience with ‘Ship’s Cat’ was very split down the middle. While the game was absurdly amusing, the constant worry about whether I had to reload a save soon ruined the mood as I had to walk on eggshells in certain areas, afraid I would clip through the surface. I would probably recommend picking the 2024 PC version if you are aiming for a ‘mice’ day!
The Tales of series began in 1995 with Tales of Phantasia on the Super Famicom. Currently, there are 17 games in the main series, plus various spinoffs and crossovers with other properties, as well as a few anime adaptations. Bandai Namco has been revisiting old games in the series and porting or remastering them for modern consoles.
Reigns: The Witcher gives that weird little dopamine hit of gambling against all odds with significantly less real-world implications – maybe a little lost sleep and addiction, but redirected to a noble plight in Witcher work. For fans of the Witcher series and those looking for a short but moreish game to master, Reigns: The Witcher might be worth the fanfare.
Corner Kitchen Fast Food Simulator delivers a satisfying sense of progression and captures the hectic charm of running a fast-food restaurant, especially when its systems are firing on all cylinders.
For a reasonably priced game, I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of games with a twist in their gameplay and likes a bit of a challenge. So, if you have about 10 – 15 hours to spare, depending on your ability to solve puzzles and crack safes, give it a go for sure.
Reanimal dives further into its horror elements and themes compared to the Little Nightmare games, all while adding even more combat and exploration into the mix.
Overall, Roadside Research is a light-hearted, fun and expansive shop simulator. For a preview game, there’s already so much in it. There are plenty of hours of fun in this title, and with the active developers and more features announced on their Steam page, you won’t be disappointed. Just watch out for those men in black! Once again, another game that will stay on my hard drive, as I am excited about where it will end up.
Mario’s latest tennis outing is a big improvement over 2018’s Mario Tennis Aces, with a more arcade feel to the gameplay, with 38 characters to choose from, plus the introduction of Fever Rackets and Mix It Up provides whole new ways to play. It’s great for serious and casual players, perfect for parties, and the online play is solid, with plenty of tough opponents to match up with.
Overall, Manairons is a top-tier 3D action platformer game. If this is your genre, it is a must-play. Even if it isn’t your go-to genre, you won’t be disappointed. It’s all here: the beautiful graphics and the well put-together storyline combine to take you on a journey. Even after the frustrations of falling 20 times and getting back up and going again on the same puzzle, it really is an enjoyable experience and the true definition of a cozy game.
I was straight away addicted to the storyline and the mix of real-world Japanese history and fantasy. The graphics and music complement each other, fully immersing you in the story
The original Yakuza 3 was already a great game with an emotional story, but Yakuza Kiwami 3 adds so much more with new story elements that make Kiryu’s relationship with everyone more personal ever, upgraded gameplay and loads of side activities. Dark Ties explores the motivation behind the main antagonist of the main game and what led him to leave his successful business behind and enter the seedy underbelly.
Sadly, I can really tell this is the sort of game I could really enjoy if there were way more to do. Working with words is kinda our thing as reviewers, so it would be nice to utilise that talent more. All Finale Word Royale really needs is a few more modes to retain a player base’s interest to have a truly killer time.
With a potential for over 60 hours of gameplay, there is so much to see and do, and with deep combat mechanics in a first-person perspective, an emotional story, excellent performances from the entire voice cast, the improvements over the 2018 original, this is a worthwhile purchase for both fans and newcomers. Kingdom Come: Deliverance proves once again why it’s an award-winning game, now reforged for modern consoles.
Despite El Viento, Earnest Evans and Annet Returns not being the best games, bringing them to modern consoles is a great way for gamers, young and old, to relive or experience them for the first time. They play just as well (or as badly) as they did back in the day, can be played in both Japanese and English, the extra features make the experience easier, and the Gallery featuring images, cutscenes and music from all three games can make Earnest Evans Collection a worthwhile purchase to add to your digital retro games library.
As a huge horror fan, the game seems to lack the ability to immerse me. A poor sound mix with low-end graphics creates a constant immersion break. Although if you put yourself in the seat of a small team, it’s not half bad. My overall experience with the 9th Charnel was mostly a letdown, although the game has potential and lots of room to grow. For now, it leaves me frustrated, confused, and looking for the volume button.
Really, in Romeo is a Dead Man, the story is actually the star of the show. When you compare it to the enemies and environment, the combat really does fall flat compared to the feelings the actual narrative and visuals manifest.
