Indiana Jones and the Great Circle feels less like a video game and more like stepping into a classic Indiana Jones film — adventurous, nostalgic, and unforgettable. Despite some clunky traversal and AI quirks, it still delivers everything you’d hope for.
Stray is a phenomenal game with a great premise, excellent mechanics, and a story that will tug at your heart-strings. However, its port to the Nintendo Switch hardware is a little substandard. If a Switch was the only gaming hardware you owned, or you wanted the handheld experience, I could confidently suggest grabbing a copy. However, if you were planning to play it predominantly on a TV or monitor, I would suggest picking it up for another console instead (and if you haven’t yet, you absolutely should).
While LEGO Horizon Adventures is a great entry point for younger players, its more mechanically demanding battles offer plenty for veterans to enjoy. It’s moments like these that make LEGO Horizon Adventures one of the best LEGO games ever made.
While the graphics transport you to another world, the gameplay falls disappointingly short — leaving a taste in my mouth, I imagine, similar to how Ant-rid tastes to ants.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a fantasy epic that showcases the best voice acting and overall polish of any game I’ve played this year.
Life Is Strange: Double Exposure is an episodic adventure developed by Deck Nine Games and published by Square Enix — it’s also one of my favourite games I’ve played this year... As someone who graduated high school the same year as the original game’s release, returning to Max’s world felt like reconnecting with an old friend.
The Smurfs: Dreams is an uncomplicated 3D platformer with a cheery art style and easy-to-learn controls; it’s perfect for a younger generation of gamers.
“ This is a game I want to keep playing forever.”
To me, Neva transcends the boundaries of what we typically define as a game. It feels more like an emotional experience, an interactive journey that stirs the imagination much like a piece of fine art.
Europa is a stunning game with a rich world to explore and a story worth telling.
While I thought its Animal Crossing influences would be right up my alley, it ultimately left me feeling dissatisfied with a buggy playthrough.
Kill Knight is a game that will kick you to the curb if you aren’t paying attention. It’s hard as nails but never unfair. If you die in a run, you just need to dust off your guns and do better.
I’m not going to beat around the bush, Metaphor: ReFantazio is my game of the year. Atlus and Studio Zero have taken the best bits of the Persona series and somehow made them work within a medieval fantasy setting. But it’s no mere Persona 'holiday special'. The new IP enhances and evolves the formula, becoming a shining example of how to do JRPGs right. When it comes to my games, I value story and character above all else, and Metaphor delivers that in spades.
Jumping back into Starfield was a welcome experience, but Shattered Space feels like a glorified side quest in the grander universe. I loved the main game — I gave it a perfect score! It pains me that the first DLC doesn’t hit as hard as I’d hoped for.
Shadows of Doubt isn’t just another detective game, it’s an open-world, first-person noir experience that gives you all the tools to be the grizzled detective you’ve always wanted to be. From breaking into apartments under the cover of darkness to sleuthing through classified government information, the game offers a staggering level of freedom.
Max Mustard takes some of the best mechanics from our favourite platforming games and blends them together into a fantastical VR world.
The devs did well to recreate the look and feel of the worlds I played in but this was not enough to save Funko Fusion. Just like your Funko Pop collection, sad and long forgotten, I can see this game sitting around for years to come collecting dust.
There are few games that manage to strike the perfect balance between nostalgia and innovation, but Astro Bot pulls it off effortlessly. From the moment you take control of the shiny little robot, you’re thrust into a world that feels both familiar and brand new. It’s a celebration of PlayStation’s past, while pushing the boundaries of what modern platformers can achieve.
While it may not be perfect, The Plucky Squire still offers a delightful experience filled with creativity, lovable characters, and a world that begs to be explored. For an 8-10 hour experience, you’ll more than get your money’s worth.
My time with the game has been a great experience, the team at 11bit Studios have taken the groundbreaking Frostpunk and tweaked and refined it into something new. Almost every piece of the game has changed for the better. While some diehard fans might miss the tighter experience, there’s no doubt that this is a sequel that changes the landscape of the Frostpunk series. And I’m here for it.
