It’s taken 38 years for Zelda to take the reins as protagonist in the game series that bears her name, but it was worth the wait.
I understand that EA FC is a yearly game series, and that is going to come with limitations. That said, people are paying full price for these changes, and we just don’t get enough here. Ultimate Team has a few quality of life changes, and the new Rush mode is good fun, but again, the fun comes from you – the game is just a sandbox for your imagination.
Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a stellar 3D platformer with a deep, engaging storyline that made me genuinely care about its characters and what happens to them.
Funko Fusion has a lot of the fundamentals down, with large, varied environments, destructible objects, different character loadouts to suit various play styles and tastes, a slew of hidden collectibles to gather, and tons of playable characters to unlock. But, it doesn’t reach its full potential, with awkward weapon aiming and a “try it and see” mentality that doesn’t quite work in a game with this much going on.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster has reminded me of all the things I loved about the original...while prettying up some of its scuffed edges.
The Plucky Squire’s pages are filled with moments of delight...The sketched world of crayon colors is gorgeously charming.
There are still plenty of improvements to be made, but there's also no doubt that NBA 2K25 is one of the best games in the sports genre at the moment.
Astro Bot can be carried by its whimsical joy alone. A wonderful little adventure for a wonderful little bot.
[I]f you have even the slightest beat of a cantina drum in your heart, then Outlaws is the [game] you have been waiting for. To walk around and have your own adventure in a galaxy far, far away. What a treat.
While it does feel like the same strides and missteps occur each year, Madden 25 has more positive improvements than bad...[we're] happy with the realistic changes that have come about with FieldSENSE and BOOM Tech, as well as the various presentation updates that have been added.
A thoroughly enjoyable revival of a brilliant box of puzzles. Though the visuals can't measure up to the series' dedicated Switch outing, Luigi's Mansion 2 is another a stellar family-friendly option for those eager to enjoy a spooky aesthetic without the scare factor.
Flock is a wonderful game bursting with whimsy and delight...every element combines to form a charming experience that’s easy to become lost in for hours at a time, and one that absolutely earns our recommendation.
EA Sports College Football 25 absolutely nails the feeling of a college football game, with all of the pomp and pageantry well intact. Controlling the game is fun too, as the feeling of throwing that deep pass for a touchdown or sacking the quarterback never gets old.
My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery may not appeal to many older gamers, but there’s something to be said for simple experiences that don’t require lots of thinking or skill to enjoy. We enjoyed our time in the magical world of Equestria, and think the game’s target audience will too.
Another Crab’s Treasure will provide surprising depth for those lured in by its cartoonish and comedic premise, and it manages to balance both tones well despite occasional dissonance.
The Switch incarnation of Intelligent Systems’ RPG is a phenomenal feat of nostalgia fodder, and a joyous game in its own right. Spruced up visuals and music complement a brilliant and bizarre Mario adventure.
