Oct 5, 2026

Voltaire: The Vegan Vampire has a delightfully absurd premise and charming presentation, and its nights are fun, but the monotonous daytime farming slows the whole rhythm down and the game lacks variety.

7.5 / 10.0 - Train Sim World 7
Oct 4, 2026

Train Sim World 7 is another extensive, detailed train simulator with three varied new routes, though the leap over its predecessors is small and weak performance, bugs and a huge 225 GB install dampen the experience.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam successfully adapts the series' proven mechanics to the Vietnam War with deep team strategy and a motivating loadout system, but it remains a complex, at times frustrating shooter that demands a lot of commitment.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a successful comeback for the long-dormant series. Its fluid combat makes one-on-one duels the game's strongest moments, even if chaotic fights against groups, linear levels and some needless backtracking hold it back.

8.5 / 10.0 - Sniper Dan
Sep 30, 2026

Sniper Dan is a funny and polished hidden-object game full of absurd scenes and long-term motivation, held back only slightly by occasionally unclear targets, minor stutters and a repetitive soundtrack.

Hot Wheels: Infinite Rush is a clear step up from its predecessors, with varied open-world areas, accessible handling and plenty of collectibles, even if hectic music, missing fast travel and frequent loading times hold it back.

8.5 / 10.0 - Marvel's Wolverine
Sep 17, 2026

Marvel's Wolverine is an atmospheric, brutal and superbly staged action adventure with hard-hitting combat and a dark story, even if its linear structure and increasingly repetitive fights hold it back slightly.

9 / 10.0 - Stardew Valley
Sep 15, 2026

Even ten years after release, Stardew Valley remains accessible, relaxing and surprisingly deep, and its aging pixel art does little to diminish a clear recommendation in 2026.

Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters feels like an interactive anime episode and is a treat for fans of the series, but its rock-paper-scissors gameplay and overwhelming tutorials make it a miss for fans of realistic football sims.

7.5 / 10.0 - iRacing Arcade
Sep 13, 2026

iRacing Arcade is a worthy successor to Circuit Superstars with a motivating career mode, but overly aggressive AI, sluggish progression and the loss of the isometric view keep it from being a real hit.

8 / 10.0 - Halloween
Sep 11, 2026

Halloween: The Game is an atmospheric and tense asymmetrical horror game that captures Michael Myers authentically, even if its short campaign, clunky combat and limited map selection hold it back.

7.5 / 10.0 - NHL 27
Sep 11, 2026

NHL 27 delivers a convincing hockey experience with a big leap in presentation and atmosphere, though modest changes to Franchise and Be a Pro and the pushy Hockey Ultimate Team onboarding hold it back.

8.5 / 10.0 - NBA 2K27
Sep 10, 2026

NBA 2K27 is an extensive, well-rounded update with historic Eras, a new co-op mode and a stronger focus on women's basketball, even if the City needed a refresh and the gameplay is evolution rather than revolution.

Man of Honor is more of a small bonus than a major expansion, with a flat portrayal of young Salieri and a short campaign, though its low price makes the extra hours fair value.

After six months, Midnight isn't a perfect expansion, but its bold rework of Silvermoon and a world that keeps evolving restore some faith in World of Warcraft's long-term future.

8.5 / 10.0 - Mortal Shell II
Sep 7, 2026

Mortal Shell II is a remarkable leap forward, expanding the shell mechanic into a bigger, more varied game with freer combat and a rewarding open world, despite sparse explanations and some technical roughness.
