What Cronos does, it does very well, and taking the recency bias of the Silent Hill 2 Remake out of the equation, I can’t recall a new survival-horror game I’ve enjoyed this much and found this immersive in a while.
What Madden 26 gets right, it really gets right. However, there’s a lot here that stops it from being what I believe it should be.
Mafia: The Old Country might seem small on paper, but it’s a larger-than-life title that dishes up a substantial story pitted with all the trappings of a classic Mafia tale.
I can’t fault Dead Take. The acting in this game is jaw-dropping and seen from a perspective we very rarely get in this medium. Dead Take made me feel things that AAA games often fail to, and I was kept guessing about the story at all times.
Old-school KF fans might find Killing Floor 3 undercooked and divisive, and new-school players might struggle to see what the fuss is all about. Killing Floor 3 is a fun, survival-horror shooter that shreds with its killer soundtrack and replayability.
Wuchang goes back to the genre’s roots in terms of level design, and this actually dates the title more than it makes it feel at home in 2025. The area-to-area exploration is some of the weakest I’ve known, and ultimately ends up being frustrating more than fun. Nevertheless, the rest of the game makes up for this weak point, and Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is the start of an exciting new franchise Souls fans need to play.
There are three expansive regions to explore, and just based on the first area alone, all RPG fans will find something they enjoy. For players to invest so much time in a game, you want it to be worth it, and this title delivers that, for the most part. If the performance issues were less glaring, this would undoubtedly be a better score.
The bottom line is that if you enjoyed Snowrunner, you will enjoy Roadcraft. It’s a rewarding game that offers plenty to dig your teeth into, but don’t expect major changes from its predecessor.
DOOM: The Dark Ages is a major success for one of the industry's most iconic franchises. Revitalizing yourself is no easy feat, especially while maintaining the essence that helped the IP get to where it is today.
With good ideas that help Mandragora's two main genres merge, this action RPG is well worth the time invested in it, especially considering the price tag. R$199.50 for a good game that can easily last over 40 hours is a great deal. (Translated from Portuguese)
Monster Energy Supercross 25 is the best Supercross game that Milestone has put out in so many ways. The racing is rewarding as you get the hang of it, and the visuals are second-to-none. Unfortunately, the career mode leaves you just wishing for more to do with the rest of the game feeling quite empty.
Ultimately, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is technically sound and authentic and represents a world that fans of the franchise have wanted to explore for many years. The artistic choices are great, the soundtrack is impressive, and the ambience is stellar, plus Naoe makes for a phenomenal lead, but there are just too many niggling flaws for me to consider this a perfect title.
Two Point Museum doesn’t revolutionize the series, but it successfully adapts the beloved formula to a new and entertaining setting. Expeditions and collections inject fresh gameplay elements, while the humor and accessible mechanics make it enjoyable for both newcomers and seasoned players. Despite a few minor frustrations with building expansion and UI clarity, the game’s charm, depth, and variety make it an easy recommendation.
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage teleported me back to a time when freedom meant everything and there was nothing to be concerned about other than what my friends and I would do the next day.
This monumental medieval adventure will have you living a double life - but in this one, you're a brave adventurer exploring the most faithful recreation of a real place I've ever seen.
One of Sniper Elite Resistance’s missions is called “End of the Line.” I found it fitting as I flirted with the notion in my mind. The franchise has something that demands more games and maintains a pretty consistent fanbase eating up everything Rebellion puts out. But I think even hardened fans will have a hard time seeing the need for this sequel.
This enormous, immersive survival FPS is the cream of the crop, and it’s a bar to which every developer in the genre should aspire to reach.
Metro Awakening is worth every penny. It's the most immersive post-apocalyptic experience I've had the pleasure of playing, and every step I took through the tunnels beneath Moscow had me feeling on edge and wary of my next move.
This is a solid creation from a dedicated team, backed by a brilliant cast and a stellar engine that makes the game look unbelievably good at times. Max Caulfield is back and she's better than ever, and that's all the average fan should need to know to pick up their copy.
If you've been holding out waiting for the full release of Blade and Sorcery: Nomad, you won't be disappointed. This feels like WarpFrog has given us an entirely new game, and it's worth every second you spend exploring it.
