Mario Kart World is proving doubters wrong, as this is the innovation that Mario Kart needed. Even on the surface level, with 4K resolution and 120 FPS, the improvements are here. Because of all the new additions, everything feels more chaotic, and that’s a perfect compliment for any Mario Kart game.

Everything feels shorter and tighter, which makes for a compelling gameplay experience. While some gamers might roll their eyes at seeing another Elden Ring title being considered Game of the Year, Nightreign deserves to be in the discussion.

Since the combat is less kinetic compared to the past two games, it moves a bit slow, but in the best way possible. The movement feels slower than the previous two games and more in line with the original DOOM. The style and music are classic DOOM, which provides a major boost of energy to the mix. Some longtime fans might have issues with the changes to the formula, but the respect towards this franchise is still there. Even if gamers haven’t played a DOOM game, The Dark Ages is the perfect start.

To think that this is Sandfall Interactive’s first game is mind-blowing, as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 should be up there with the best RPGs of all time.

It’s not just the gameplay, but the presentation that looks stunning. Players will know it’s good when, for a split second, it looks like the real thing. Sometimes, the facial animations take a serious nose dive, but it’s only for a brief moment.

9 / 10 - Koira
Apr 1, 2025

The urge to protect those who are vulnerable is powerful, and players will be hard-pressed to complete Koira without having experienced an overwhelming surge of emotion at some point. With relatively few hiccups and an incredibly memorable story presented beautifully, Koira is one of the best indie games of the year so far.

8 / 10 - Atomfall
Mar 21, 2025

While being in this world offers a lot of fun, traversing becomes more of a chore by the end. Once the player gets to a base or somewhere to explore, the energy picks up again. It makes Atomfall a must-play, even if players aren’t fans of the genre.

Mar 18, 2025

Doing small tasks can still bring a sense of peace and fulfillment, especially when doing it in a stunning world that is more like watching a sunset. That’s where Wanderstop stands out from other cozy games by truly making the player feel relaxed. Like what Boro is doing with Alta, Wanderstop helps players look within themselves. This makes Wanderstop a one-of-a-kind experience that fans of the cozy game genre need to play.

AC Shadows isn’t revolutionizing its franchise or its genre, but it’s overall going to be a good time for those who seek it out. This is a more-than-worthy entry in the franchise, and overall, those who most enjoyed Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Valhalla will get the most out of Shadows, considering they're the most similar in scale and overall gameplay structure.

9 / 10 - Doom Eternal
Mar 17, 2025

Doom: Eternal remains one of the most innovative and empowering FPS games of recent memory. Time has been and will be kind to this game, especially given how the rest of the FPS genre has yet to reach its level. It won't be surprising if the only thing that dethrones Doom: Eternal is Doom: The Dark Ages, and there couldn't be a worthier usurper.

Be prepared to laugh, die a ton, and spend a couple of minutes here and there petting the good dog that stays by your side throughout its 20-hour story. Just remember, though: this game is not meant for kids.
