Stellar Blade is a flawed but undeniably compelling action game. Its narrative and characters leave much to be desired, but when it comes to visual spectacle and exhilarating combat, it’s razor-sharp. It’s clear that Hyung-Tae Kim designed this as a gameplay-first experience, and that choice pays off in many ways. If you’re here for the story, you’ll likely be disappointed. But if you’re here to slay monsters, master combos, and revel in the aesthetic grandeur of its world, Stellar Blade delivers.
Mario Kart World might not revolutionize the series, but it doesn’t need to. Instead, it refines what already works while adding enough new features to feel fresh. The Knockout Tour is an instant classic. The free-roam mode adds depth. The visuals and performance meet the expectations of new hardware. And at its heart, World remains the definitive party racer, a game anyone can pick up and enjoy, whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time player.
It’s a brief but memorable slice of teen life, with enough heart and humour to make me want to revisit the first game to see what I missed. If you’re looking for something short, sweet, and inclusive, this one’s worth a spot in your library.
CritterGarden is a pleasant and fun game that combines farming, science, and resource management to create a fun and engaging experience. It's easy to pick up but has enough complexity to keep you engaged for many hours. I'd rate it a 7.5 out of 10 and suggest it to anyone who enjoys relaxing games with some challenge and likes creature collecting. Be warned, though, that you'll be doing a lot of small tasks and could find yourself losing hours playing as you work in your alien garden.
I am rating this game 9/10 for its brilliant writing, dynamic characters, and the sheer silly joy it brings. Who knew being in a romantic relationship with Existential Dread could be this much fun?!
Mindseye wants to be a cyberpunk thriller. It wants to challenge players with ideas about AI, control, and identity. But instead of exploring those themes with depth and care, it trades them for predictable set pieces, forgettable characters, and unremarkable gameplay. There’s a great game buried somewhere deep in Mindseye’s concept. But what shipped feels like a mid-generation Xbox 360 game, not a modern narrative-driven experience. It’s not offensive or broken beyond repair—it’s just unambitious, uninspired, and instantly forgettable.
A Love Letter to the Genre. Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is more than just a compilation—it's a preservation project, a training ground, and an arcade party all rolled into one. With smooth online play, thoughtful upgrades, and a roster that’s second to none, this is a must-have for fighting game fans across generations.
Creature Keeper is a new spin on monster-taming, bursting with heart, clever writing, and a gameplay loop that kept me coming back for 'just one more creature
DOOM: The Dark Ages is a brutal, thrilling, and visually spectacular entry in the franchise. It offers one of the best combat systems DOOM has seen, thanks largely to the Shield Saw and refined parrying. Despite a few pacing issues and some repetitive encounters in the final chapters, the game remains a worthy addition to the DOOM legacy. For fans of DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal, this is a no-brainer. It’s a rich, action-packed FPS that proves the Slayer’s fury burns just as bright in the past as it does in the future.
Whether you're playing solo or with a partner, this is an adventure worth taking. It’s hilarious, heartfelt, and consistently surprising—a cathartic takedown of corporate culture, served with a smile, a slap, and a whole lot of goo. A vibrant, satirical, and joyfully absurd platforming adventure with heart, humour, and heaps of alien charm. Whether you're here for laughs, traversal, or co-op chaos, Revenge of the Savage Planet delivers a refreshing dose of weird in all the best ways.
StarVaders is proving to be a go-to for roguelike and deckbuild enthusiasts. Its addictive gameplay, and community-driven development make it one to watch as it prepares to launch April 30th. Its colorful presentation, depth of strategy, and infinitely replayable matches
A confident, stylish return for one of fighting game history’s most iconic franchises. Deep, accessible, and packed with features, City of the Wolves howls with potential.
If you’re ready to dive into a world where corporate chaos meets "Blade Runner-esque" existential dread—and maybe laugh along the way—this game is absolutely worth your time.
A visually stunning, technically accurate, and spiritually soothing photography simulator that’s as educational as it is beautiful. It won’t be for everyone — but for those who understand the joy of seeing, it’s an unforgettable journey.
A wild, stylish ride that sacrifices depth for maximum impact — and mostly nails the landing. If you’ve got Game Pass, there’s no excuse. Boot it up, grow a mullet, and get mad.
A Love Letter to the Deep South. South of Midnight is an evocative and beautifully crafted experience that blends folklore, storytelling, and action into a mesmerizing package. Despite some gameplay shortcomings, its breathtaking presentation, compelling narrative, and rich world-building make it a standout title. The game may not be for everyone—especially those looking for fast-paced action or deep RPG mechanics—but for players who appreciate a well-told story wrapped in a visually unique and culturally rich setting, South of Midnight is a journey worth taking.
If you are interested in playing a game that sends players back to the nostalgic age of Game Boy gaming but also adds enough adult humour to take the experience past the realm of mere childhood nostalgia, I'd suggest The Edge of Allegoria. Leave your sensibilities at the door, grab a snack (you'll find lots on your gaming journey), and prepare for a unique nostalgia trip.
AI Limit brings an intriguing mix of classic Soulslike elements with a few refreshing twists, making it a solid entry for both newcomers and veterans of the genre.
If you need something to boost your productivity or just want something to bring that homey vibe into work sessions, Spirit City: Lofi Sessions is well worth trying.
With its fascinating and thought-provoking narrative, perceptive themes that prompt introspective reflection, and the surprising effect it has had on my personal perspective. This is a richly rewarding, intensely layered game that impressively highlights video games' capabilities as a viable and efficient medium for conveying complicated and mature narratives.
