EA Sports has raised the bar with the launch of Madden 26, delivering an exceptional gaming experience that sets a new standard for the franchise.
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance not only features incredible gameplay mechanics and an exciting storyline but also boasts some of the finest hand-drawn visuals I've ever encountered in a game.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is an unforgettable experience and easily one of the best games I've played this generation. The stunning visuals and incredible voice acting create an immersive journey, and the artistic touches are unparalleled to anything I’ve played. While the experience is on the shorter side, it’s an experience that is filled with incredible detail from beginning to end. I am really happy we got to experience this on the PS5, especially with upgraded performance features.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is an intricately designed narrative that weaves together themes of empowerment and the struggle against adversity. The game's stunning visuals and immersive world create a vibrant backdrop for your journey. However, the formidable challenges posed by the enemies have made it somewhat daunting for me.

Those who have never gotten to play Neverwinter Nights 2 before will find a lot to love about this console port of the game. However, that experience will be tempered by some UI interface issues that make the game clunky at best in certain portions of the game.
Funcom's Dune: Awakening has arrived, offering players a chance to survive the harsh sands of Arrakis in a way that's thrilling for MMO genre fans and newcomers alike.
Against all odds, Mario Kart World more than lived up to the hype surrounding its launch. This is easily the best Mario Kart game to come out in years and it shows off the brand new Nintendo Switch 2 in the best way possible.
Out Of Sight does everything tremendously well, and is by far one of my favorite games I ever played. To the game credit, it isn't long enough to allow any faults to shine through, but being short is my only issue with the game.
A post-game story DLC that still stands alone from the main narrative, Throes of the Watchmaker is an entertaining side-romp that presents new abilities, mechanics, and character development for the characters that Sea of Stars fans have grown to love.
Despite a lack of extra game modes apart from the barebones arcade standards, the quality of life improvements and massive amount of extra goodies outside of the games come together with that standout selection to make the best version of this series so far.

DOOM: The Dark Ages is a remarkable addition to the DOOM franchise, showcasing an impressive evolution in gameplay and storytelling.
Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is an amazing dark fantasy game that mixes the best parts of Metroidvania games and Soulslike games together. The combination of exploration and hard-hitting combat makes for an addictive combination that will draw the player in again and again until all the mysteries of this dark world are uncovered.
Forza Horizon 5, already one of the best racing games around, finally makes its way to the PlayStation 5 and it remains phenomenal.
A free-form combo system mixed with a surprising depth of combat mechanics results in a technical fighter that truly brings the old-school feel of fighting games into the modern age.
While there were a few things I had to get used to, like the slightly stiff controls, Atomfall is overall a great Sci-fi RPG with a unique story and a great graphical presentation.
Not only does Assassin's Creed Shadows succeed at being a great entry in to the AC series, but it also succeeds at leaving a lasting impression with the players. With breathtaking graphics, amazing gameplay mechanics, and a huge sprawling world, this is for sure the best action-adventure title in recent years!
