Dark Arisen is not just a simple expansion for Dragon’s Dogma 2; it’s the piece that fills in many of the base experience gaps. A package that stands alongside the main game and elevates it into one of the most valuable and complete RPGs of its generation in an adventure that, if you seek a vast, challenging fantasy journey full of exploration, is simply too good to pass up.

8.5 / 10.0 - Crimson Moon
Oct 6, 2026

Crimson Moon is one of those games that may not excel in every aspect, but it performs very well where it matters most: being entertaining. By successfully blending Soulslike and roguelike elements with striking art design and satisfying combat, it delivers an experience worth trying.

9 / 10.0 - 007 First Light
Oct 5, 2026

The very thought that, among all game studios, IO Interactive was chosen to create an adaptation of the 007 franchise is a welcome sign for players. 007 First Light is undoubtedly the best game ever made based on the James Bond stories and one of IO Interactive's finest works. This title is highly recommended for all fans of Agent 007.

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is an experience similar to the first game, attempting to deliver a more modern take with a new art style and a smart item management system. However, issues with the UI, weak level design, and frequent loading times prevent it from reaching its full potential.

Although Steins;Gate RE:BOOT isn't a flawless remake with its simplified text and new art style, it fully preserves the engaging narrative, lovable characters, and the emotional weight of altering reality. This title doesn't replace the 2009 original; rather, it creates a new branch in the series a small change that has given rise to a different yet valuable reality.

Sep 27, 2026

The latest title from Housemarque is a work that shows the development team has managed to bring their exciting and imaginative ideas to life in a fresh setting and fitting atmosphere, culminating in a game like Saros.

8.5 / 10.0 - Crimson Desert
Sep 26, 2026

"Crimson Desert offers a unique world with extensive interactivity, where you can lose yourself in exploration and experience impressive, multi-layered combat. However, even numerous updates haven't brought its weak puzzle design and narrative depth up to a satisfying level.

Lego Batman: The Legacy of The Dark Knight blends sharp humor, excellent writing, rich combat, and a beautifully crafted Lego Gotham into a wildly entertaining experience that shouldn't be underestimated.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is a passion-driven RPG from former CD Projekt RED talent. Despite a few minor technical issues that are easily fixable with updates, Rebel Wolves has crafted a rare experience: a role-playing game that truly respects your choices, your time, and the way you build your hero.

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy takes a big risk as a prequel by overhauling the combat system, introducing a new protagonist, and delivering a dual-sided story rooted in Greek mythology. Yet nearly every risk pays off, resulting in the best entry in the series to date one that cleverly uses environmental storytelling, dialogue with enemies, and even its stunning music as tools to deliver an exceptional narrative.

Darksiders: Warmastered Edition is still a respectable and entertaining game after 16 years. Its heavy and satisfying combat, clever puzzles, and enduring art design deliver a classic yet still compelling experience. Some boss fights are incredibly easy, and a few puzzles are tedious and drawn out, but overall, this game is a fine example of the golden age of hack-and-slash titles. If you haven't played it before, the PS5 version runs smoothly at 60fps and costs $29.99, so it's definitely worth picking up.

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire blends a captivating story, satisfying gunplay, and a unique atmosphere to become one of the year's most distinctive shooters. While weak puzzle design and underdeveloped detective elements keep it from reaching its full potential, the overall experience remains entertaining and worthwhile. At $30, it's hard to pass up this crazy mouse.

Master Collection Vol. 2 is an incredibly valuable package. Freeing Metal Gear Solid 4 from its PS3 prison alone raises the collection's worth, and with Peace Walker included alongside it, the result is a complete and flawless set. This collection is a true treasure chest for MGS fans, and this time, Konami has proven that it respects its legacy.

Truck Driver: The Dutch Connection is less a game with weak ideas and more a title suffering from poor execution and implementation. Almost every element expected from a truck simulation game is present, but none of them function properly. As a result, even with a $40 price tag, the game lacks the value needed to be worth experiencing or competing in the market.

Styx: Blades of Greed may be average in its storytelling and level design, but its stealth mechanics are so well-crafted that they will satisfy fans of the genre.

5.5 / 10.0 - Death Relives
Sep 1, 2026

If you're a horror game fan, Death Relives falls short of expectations. You'll face a low-quality, substandard title. At best, you might approach it as a shallow 3‑hour experience.

8.5 / 10.0 - Gothic
Aug 26, 2026

Entering the world of Gothic Classic is challenging for newcomers and those accustomed to modern RPGs, but it offers a level of freedom and depth rarely found in other role-playing games.

The Blue Reflection: Quartet collection is a commendable effort to introduce this lesser-known series to Nintendo Switch 2 audiences. The two main games still shine thanks to their emotional storytelling and calming atmosphere. However, the additional content, especially Ray and particularly Sun, suffers from inconsistent quality, which diminishes the collection's overall value. As a result, Quartet doesn't quite become the ideal package, even though the two core titles remain as lovable as ever.
