Anno 117: Pax Romana delivers a city-building experience that rewards patience and planning over quick wins. Its focus on supply chains, trade, and smart layouts makes every decision feel connected, especially once your province starts to sprawl. The Roman setting frames the pressure without getting in the way, letting the systems stay front and centre. If you enjoy city builders that feel better the more you understand them, this one sticks.
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection brings together the series’ early years with a focus on preservation, context, and player choice. Some games still feel tough and dated, but modern tools like rewind, training modes, and flexible settings make exploring them far more approachable. The interactive documentary adds meaningful background that helps explain both the highs and the frustrations. It is a collection that respects Mortal Kombat’s past without pretending it was ever flawless.
Terminator 2D: No Fate is a tight 2D action game that keeps you moving and shooting without wasting your time. Combat stays easy to follow even when enemies start piling up, and quick retries make learning tough sections less frustrating. Not every idea hits the same way, and the game does not last long. Still, it sticks to its old-school formula and plays best when you treat it as something to jump into, improve at, and replay.
Skate Story focuses on how skating feels moment to moment, putting speed, control, and line choice ahead of flash or structure. Its strange underworld setting stays mostly in the background, giving you room to learn runs through repetition and quick restarts. Boss encounters and chapter progression add direction, even if extra modes and content are limited. When everything clicks, it delivers a focused experience built around motion, rhythm, and staying upright at full speed.
Octopath Traveler 0 brings the series back to Orsterra with a tighter focus. The story feels steadier with one lead, the eight-slot combat system stays enjoyable, and town building gives the journey a simple hook. Some difficulty bumps and quiet side characters show up, but the adventure holds its pace and stays easy to sink into.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion keeps things fun with a wide roster, sharp combat, and fast mission flow. The tag-team system gives each fight a different feel, and swapping heroes stays satisfying throughout the campaign. There are some tough difficulty swings and a few rough spots, but the variety makes up for them. It is a solid brawler with plenty of reasons to return.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond mixes familiar ideas with a few new touches that give the series a different feel. The action stays sharp, the exploration hits a good rhythm, and Viewros leaves a strong impression. Some moments feel more directed than expected, but the game keeps its pace and stays fun throughout.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide is a laid-back platformer with a steady rhythm. Swapping between SpongeBob and Patrick keeps things moving, and the world stays bright and easy to read. The game has a few short texture hitches and slower spots, but nothing that drags it down. If you are in the mood for something light and colourful, this one works well.
Ball x Pit hits that sweet spot where quick ricochets, steady upgrades, and short runs come together in a way that just feels good. The camp work between dives gives you something chill to manage before jumping back into the mess. Some runs start slow and the screen can get crowded, but that comes with the territory. If you want a game you can pick up for a few minutes and still feel like you made progress, this one fits the bill.
Shuten Order is an ambitious mystery visual novel that transforms into five adventure genres. Although the gameplay mechanics are basic, the story, full of twists, intense characters, and a vibrant visual aesthetic, is immediately captivating. Recommended for fans of mystery and the Danganronpa style who prioritize narrative over gameplay depth.
R-Type Delta: HD Boosted stays true to what made the original stand out. The ships, the Force tricks, and the tough stage layouts still hit hard, and the HD upgrade helps the world read better than before. A few rough edges remain, like spots where the screen gets hard to read and no quick restarts, but the core challenge is worth learning. If you enjoy pushing through tough shooters, this remaster delivers exactly that.
Black Ops 7 feels like a big mix of ideas, and most of them actually land. The campaign doesn’t hit the emotional highs of older games, but the movement tools and co-op moments kept things fun. Multiplayer and Zombies do most of the heavy lifting, and they’re strong enough to pull you in night after night. It’s the kind of Call of Duty that keeps you bouncing between modes because each one scratches a different itch.
Winter Burrow is a beautiful and short low-pressure survival adventure, marked by lovely 2D art and a sweet, melancholic narrative about loss and restoration. It is ideal for a cozy weekend, despite its lack of depth.
Kirby Air Riders starts out looking simple, but the game opens up fast once you learn how its machines really handle. Each mode brings something different without drifting away from the core idea of shaping speed instead of wrestling with it. The variety, depth, and steady stream of things to try make it easy to keep coming back. It’s a bright and fast racer with more going on than you expect at first glance.
King of Meat is a cooperative party platformer featuring TV satire and one of the most accessible and robust level editors. The fun factor is elevated when playing with friends, transforming dungeons into pure chaos. Still, the platforming mechanics and combat are quite simple, and the solo experience feels notably flat. Its longevity will ultimately depend on the creativity and adoption of the community.
Dragon Quest I and II HD-2D Remake brings two early RPGs back in a way that feels easier to jump into, with new scenes that help the stories hit a little harder. The presentation looks great and the added options make the steady grind easier to settle into. Even with some older bumps, the bundle feels like a solid way to experience these classic adventures today.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment builds on what worked before, blending fast action with a story that finally gives Zelda her moment. Combat feels smooth and responsive, and the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware helps it all run better than ever. Even with some repetitive moments, it’s a strong and satisfying evolution of the series.
Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition brings back a classic formula with small improvements, but it never fully recaptures what made the series shine. Farming and daily life are relaxing, yet the slow pacing, stiff animations, and shallow story hold it back. The new inventions help, but they can’t fix the lack of energy in Alba Village. It’s a decent choice for longtime fans seeking a simple routine, but not the revival many hoped for.
Once Upon A KATAMARI brings the series back with smoother controls, clever power-ups, and time-travel stages that feel fresh without straying too far. The bright visuals, catchy soundtrack, and chaotic energy all stay true to Katamari’s charm. It’s a joyful return that reminds you why rolling everything in sight never gets old.
The Outer Worlds 2 brings back everything gamers liked about the original and makes it all feel sharper and more confident. The writing lands, the choices matter, and the world has more personality without going overboard. Combat is smoother and exploration feels more rewarding, especially once you find your rhythm. It is a sequel that does not chase something bigger. It just does what it does best.
