Everdeep Aurora capitalises on the nostalgia for Game Boy Color era aesthetics delivering a whimsical journey that had every sentimental bone in my body tingling. While it doesn’t quite stick the landing, I still enjoyed the majority of my time with the game.
Ruffy and the Riverside is everything I hoped it would be. It’s a nostalgic 3D platformer filled with charm, whacky characters, and a great balance of puzzle-solving and platforming. The SWAP mechanic is a real highlight, offering a fresh and clever way to progress through the world. Controls are tight, the camera behaves, and the whole experience feels smooth and satisfying.
DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH is a sequel through and through, not straying too far from the style and set-up established within the first game. Instead, choosing to improve upon the formula in almost every way, putting more focus on action, pacing, and enemy encounters.
Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a glorified learning module.
Elden Ring Nightreign delivers a dynamic, adrenaline-fuelled take on the Souls formula. It’s tailored for hardcore fans with fast pacing, and brutally tough bosses... But its reliance on recycled content, and long expedition times may deter newcomers or those seeking a more traditional Elden Ring experience. For seasoned FromSoftware devotees like myself, it’s a compelling challenge. I only hope matchmaking improves at launch — because I’m itching for another run.
At first glance, Projected Dreams looks more like a motor-skill exercise for children than a game, but it quickly became clear that it was much more than that.
“There’s something sacred about revisiting an old-school PS2 title and finding it not only intact but enhanced only where needed. The remaster of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny pulls off that rare feat — retaining the original’s quirky charm and soul. Capcom has tweaked the game in just enough places that it doesn’t ruin the nostalgia.”
Overall, A Pirate’s Fortune is a fun, engaging expansion that that feels even better thanks to nearly a year of updates and polish to Outlaws. While it doesn’t reinvent the game, it adds meaningful depth to Kay Vess’ journey. Initially, I questioned whether this new quest was true to the Kay Vess’ character, but it all unravelled nicely.
With addictive combat, intense boss battles, and an anime-like aesthetic, there’s a lot to love about Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade. Unfortunately, that’s all undercut by a frustrating lack of variety and an upgrade system that is far too grindy.
Being a fan of AFL video games is a lot like supporting North Melbourne. You convince yourself that things are about to turn around. You latch on to bright spots and get excited about experienced talent returning to steer the ship. But in the end, you often have a miserable experience as you force yourself through each game. Thankfully, AFL 26 bucks this trend with solid gameplay bolstered by a variety of game modes, however there remains many areas for improvement.
Doom: The Dark Ages isn’t without its demons. Its slower story struggles to keep pace with the chaos, and the metal soundtrack rarely reaches its iconic heights. But when it works, it really works — crushing combat, intricate exploration, and a Slayer who still defines fury in motion.
Expedition 33 is a game that spoke to my soul. I quickly fell in love with this awe-inspiring yet melancholic world and the survivors left in it, and even though it tore my heart to shreds multiple times, I’d happily do it all over again.
If you’ve ever wanted a game that blends brain-tickling puzzles with bloomin’ adorable charm, Tempopo might just be your jam — strawberry-flavoured and served with a soothing synth soundtrack.
Star Overdrive proudly wears its influences on its sleeve, for better and worse. With around 10–15 hours of main quests and plenty of lore to uncover, there’s something here worth digging into.
In Promise Mascot Agency, I’ve been seduced by a Tetris-block, shared an onsen bath with a giant egg, encouraged a slab of tofu to follow his dreams, and helped a human-sized severed finger run for mayor… This game is bonkers in all the right ways.
Look Outside absolutely nails the horror-apocalypse vibe while blending in RPG and puzzle mechanics. It’s messed up, creepy, and downright fun… in a weird way. Retro gamers and horror fans — this one’s definitely worth checking out.
The First Berserker: Kahzan is a game that doesn’t mess around. It’s tough, flashy, and brimming with style, but it does have its rough patches... If you’re looking for a game that lets you live out your berserker fantasy — complete with tough-as-nails combat and jaw-dropping visuals — this one’s definitely worth the ride. Just be prepared to die... a lot.
KinnikuNeko: SUPER MUSCLE CAT is a style-over-substance 2D platformer, but that style is wacky and weird enough to save an otherwise unremarkable adventure.
"Assassin’s Creed Shadows doesn’t just capture Feudal Japan — it immerses you in it. From breathtaking landscapes to intricate gameplay systems, it’s a game that understands the value of exploration, storytelling, and letting players carve their own path."
Atelier Yumia is a commendable blend of tradition and evolution, but if you’re planning to get the Switch version, you may want to think again.
