As if anyone needed it, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered reminds us that the game is more than worth revisiting.
With a dark — yet hopeful — fairy tale narrative and excellent level design, Well Dweller might not reinvent Metroidvanias, but it confidently plays the genre’s greatest hits, adding its own engaging spin. It’s so good that even this platformer-challenged gamer had a great time.
It performs well overall if you avoid going too deep into the underlying details that hardcore sim racers fuss about.
Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve captures the intensity of aerial warfare better than any other title.
Lords of the End Times is both must-have content for longtime fans and a great place to jump in to an already excellent strategy game.
Qliphah in Providence’s Shadow is most easily compared to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. There are a lot of people waiting for a game influenced by it, and this is the first great one.
The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival isn’t a game I’ll be returning to over and over again. There simply isn’t enough mechanical depth or variety to make repeated playthroughs particularly compelling.
SiN Reloaded was awesome for its time. It has solid shooting, unique gameplay sections, and a fantastic story presentation. It’s a very basic boomer shooter by modern standards though.
If you’re looking for a survival RPG that captures the magic in the mindless work, RuneScape: Dragonwilds is perfect. But be warned, you’ve got your work cut out for you.
Rivage has an interesting premise but struggles to meet its potential.
Silent Hill: Townfall is another brave step forward for the franchise. Moving away from the traditional third-person perspective heightens the dread and anxiety, as you tentatively avoid the many threats that linger within.
Dragon Quest Heroes: Torneko’s Mystery Dungeon -Classic HD- really only exists as a must-play for retro enthusiasts.
EA Sports FC 27 continues to refine and improve key aspects of the game, delivering a more complete experience that captures the beauty and unpredictability of the sport.
While the combat is still pretty brutal, and the gameplay sits strangely in the setting, this is a whole new Arrakis. Old fans who’ve seen it all and new players alike will absolutely want to check out this new version of the game.
Control Resonant is killer. Plain and simple.
If you’re any kind of Fire Emblem fan, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is a slam dunk.
All in all, Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is a great update to a legendary title. I had a great time plunging back into Liberl, and I think you will, too.
Marsupilami 2 – Salsa Palombia lives up to its vibe and its name. Salsa mode is an absolute banger, and the platforming and worlds are nothing short of entertaining.
If your time is precious and you’re looking for a racer that’s easy to pick up and play, iRacing Arcade is well worth your time. You can jump into the cockpit for a quick race or explore the game’s deeper features when you have more time to spare. And with cross-platform multiplayer, you can even race against friends regardless of which system they play on.
Its strong narrative alone helps The Blood of Dawnwalker stand out in a crowded field of open-world RPGs. Add layered, nuanced combat and separate day and night skill systems, and you’re well on the way to something special.
