CONTROL Resonant was an excellent game in my opinion. There wasn’t really anything I can complain about, but I don’t feel like it’s perfect, so I would hesitate to give it a 10/10, but know that I did contemplate the idea.
Townfall is an easy recommendation for horror fans and an even easier one for longtime Silent Hill players willing to accept a different point of view.
Marsupilami 2 is even better than the first Marsupilami game – and if you were lucky enough to play that game, you’ll know what an impressive achievement that is.
NBA 2K27 is a very good game, but don’t expect it to be new or groundbreaking.
I have been pretty harsh overall with Marvel’s Wolverine but it’s really not a bad game by any stretch, it’s just my (and everyone else’s) expectations were so high in the wait for this release and my history and fandom did it no favors as well. There’s just too many other good Marvel titles of the past 5 years that I would recommend you check out before Wolverine, such as any of the Insomniac Spider-Man titles or the Guardians of the Galaxy game.
I’ll be blunt: there’s literally nothing remotely good or redeeming about Agefield High. While it’s not quite the worst game I’ve ever played, it’s not far off from that dubious honour, either.
Restory: Chill Electronics Repairs is a fun game for anyone with a little bit of a spot for a bit of tinkering in their brain. It’s got everything a nostalgic 30-something could want when thinking back on the games of their childhood.
It’s absolutely adorable and it’s got a neat gimmick, but it doesn’t just rest on those things to try to sell itself – it has gameplay that really delivers, too. It’s a neat, ambitious combination that’s a must-play for any platforming fan, regardless of how many dimensions you want the game to be in.
In an absolutely stacked year so far for Capcom, Onimusha: Way of the Sword is my favorite by a mile.
High on Life 2 just aims to be as absurd and as fun as possible, and it succeeds on that at every level.
Is it worth revisiting Elden Ring again if you own this game on other platforms? In short, not really. After just an hour into this version I could already see that the Switch 2 wasn’t fully up to the task. While the game still looks good, there was plenty of slowdown in the open areas. In a game where survival depends so much on very well-timed attacks, and defense, seeing the game skip a few frames at inopportune times will kill the experience. It’s painfully obvious that the Switch 2 struggles to keep up. When compared to the PC version, even on an older gaming rig, I’d much rather play it on PC.
At its core, obviously, Star Wars Zero Company is very firmly in the lineage of XCOM, so if you like that, you’re pretty much guaranteed to like this too. But by giving so much attention to the story and giving you a lot more freedom in how you approach its missions, Zero Company shows that even if it’s built on a formula, it’s not beholden to it, and that flexibility makes the game all the more enjoyable.
There’s not a ton I think is needed to be said about Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol.2, largely because I can’t imagine many people buying this without being familiar with the series already and/or having bought Volume 1. It’s honestly not a great place to jump into the series, so I would recommend buying volume 1 before touching this. But for those of you who have played through the contents of volume 1, even in the past, before they were bundled in a modern volume, then get it. We all know you want it.
It’s neither a great 3D platformer nor a great word game. But, at the very least, it’s good enough at both halves of that equation that I have no problem saying that I enjoyed it.
Even if The Sinking City 2 is a terrible follow-up to the first Sinking City, it’s a pretty solid entry into the survival horror genre. It’s full of monsters and creepy hallways and limited ammo and a constant sense of mounting dread. It’s a whole lot closer to Resident Evil or Silent Hill than anything Frogwares have ever done before.
Last year I rated Madden NFL 26 highly and now with Madden NFL 27 I can only say it’s even better and should not be skipped… highly recommended!
I don’t think I’ve played many games that are as close to being fun and interesting as Magin: The Rat Project Stories without quite making the jump to actually being fun and interesting.
Having played through Campaign Evolved now, I am left… there’s no word available besides “disappointed”.
Though it’s a cozy game I only got lukewarm cozy vibes from it. I have to say though there is a feeling of something lacking for me. Maybe some cut scenes of cats enjoying the island tourist traps would enhance it a bit. Especially since it feels so Ghilbli-esque. This isn’t quite the cat’s meow but it isn’t cheap liver pate either. I’d play this again.
But who wants modern when Agent 64 shows how much it can be to jump in a time machine and pretend it’s still 1997? This is how homages to the past should be done – without pretense or winking, and a health dose of fun sprinkled liberally throughout.
