TRON: Catalyst has finally arrived and has taken a different spin on what lovers of the franchise expect, combining immersive storytelling with adrenaline-fueled action.
Even when this game makes you discover new levels of rage you didn’t think were possible, you’ll always be coming back for more as there are hours upon hours of fun to be had, especially online against 23 other players. Mario Kart World is pure fun, full of potential, and an absolute must buy.
Split Fiction on Nintendo Switch 2 doesn’t quite hit the same technical highs as its Xbox debut, but the story, tension, and gameplay are top-tier.
The original Yakuza 0 was a great way to introduce newcomers to the series while also providing more lore to diehard fans. The Director’s Cut adds some unique features not seen in the original. Now is a good time as any to get into the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series to experience the origins of the Dragon of Dojima and the Mad Dog of Shimano, and it all starts with Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut.
Overall, the Legends of the Zone trilogy is a great bundle and is the best way to experience the original trilogy. While the games haven’t been brought back into the modern era in every aspect, they still retain the same key ingredients, such as gritty charm, dark atmosphere, and tough survival mechanics, which is what made them cult classics in the first place. Whether you’re a newcomer to the Zone or a returning veteran, this bundle is a haunting, rewarding journey through one of the best post-apocalyptic settings you’ll find in any medium.
In conclusion, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is a refreshing take on the genres it challenges, successfully blending farming, adventuring, and romance against a beautifully reimagined setting. While it may stumble slightly in areas like early-game pacing, it more than makes up for it with its characters, satisfying progression, and ‘one more day’ gameplay loop.
Easy to pick up and difficult to put down, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S is a light-hearted puzzle game that’s challenging enough to require skill but accessible enough for new players to quickly adapt to if they’re up to the task.
As a first-time player, I walked into Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster, not knowing if it was just another remaster in 2025 or if it was a welcome upgrade for players of the 3DS.
This title could be informative to Newcomer Nintendo Switch 2 users, especially older players and parents. Still, it isn’t one I could see kids loving. My understanding of Switch 2 has been bolstered, but it doesn’t justify the cost.
Overall, I put a lot of time into this title, it is playable in single player too. I highly recommend this title to all, and at the low price it is available, it is one to add to your collection.
The year is 1959. The world is heavily indulging in rock and roll music, fashion is a big deal, and the looming threat of war is seemingly even bigger! In the midst of it is Mr Winston Green, a newly recruited employee of the delivery company “We Deliver”. Behind his boyish looks and quick-to-ignite hot-headed temper lies a past draped in superior intellect and overwhelming mystery.
JDM: Japanese Drift Master has a solid foundation and, thankfully, a fully transparent roadmap that shows promise for the future.
While the game is short, the variety of one casual session makes for one of the most enjoyable frog-based gaming experiences I have had thus far.
Monster Train 2 doesn’t change the formula much, but that’s okay. It didn’t need to. It tightens what worked, adds a few smart new features, and still delivers that same addictive loop of strategy and chaos. If you’re into roguelikes, card battlers, or enjoy a good tactical challenge, especially if you have Game Pass, Monster Train 2 is worth checking out.
Blades of Fire is well crafted, beautiful, and engrossing. I would highly recommend it to RPG fans. It is a great contender in the area. It can be very difficult at times, but with patience and a steep learning curve, it becomes very rewarding.
F1 25 stands out as a major step forward for the franchise, offering meaningful improvements across gameplay, visuals, audio, and immersion. With the revamped My Team 2.0 mode, enhanced handling mechanics, and deeper customisation, it delivers the most realistic and engaging Formula 1 experience ever. This is going to set a new benchmark for racing games.
It feels like an inferior version of the Wii game with its slower speed and doesn’t do much to improve in other areas, but its target players are children, and they will find plenty to enjoy. Stunt Flyer is a fun, simple, kid-friendly flying simulation game that keeps kids busy and entertained.
Overall, Elden Ring: Nightreign isn’t just a spin-off; it’s a massive triumph. With more direct storytelling, mindblowing boss fights, including a final boss that is one of the best they’ve ever crafted and a brilliantly tense gameplay loop, it stands tall as a worthy standalone game. FromSoftware has once again delivered a haunting, unforgettable world that challenges and rewards you.
Finding Frankie offers a truly unique mix of heart-pounding parkour action and spine-chilling horror. With its engaging storyline, dynamic gameplay, and visually striking environments, it stands out as a must-play title on the Xbox Series X|S. Whether you’re drawn to intense horror, exhilarating parkour challenges, or just looking for a fresh and exciting gaming experience, Finding Frankie is a game show you won’t want to miss.
If you’re looking for something different and can forgive the outdated presentation, there’s a compelling experience underneath the grime. Just know what you’re getting into, and maybe consider waiting for the sequel if polish and modern features matter more to you.
