Mafia: The Old Country delivers a gripping origin story steeped in atmosphere, authenticity, and emotional storytelling. Its visuals and mission design shine, even if its combat and pacing feel too familiar by the end. It may not redefine the series, but it honours its legacy with style and conviction.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a rare achievement in modern gaming. It blends breathtaking art, heartfelt storytelling, mesmerizing music, and revolutionary turn-based combat into an experience that feels timeless. It is beautiful, challenging, emotional, and endlessly creative. Every area bursts with atmosphere. Every encounter feels meaningful. Every musical note carries purpose. For players who love RPGs, music, art, turn-based systems, or simply crave something crafted with soul, this is a must-play title. It is worth the full price and even more at a discount. Games like this do not come around often.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is a tale of two games. On one hand, it features a brilliant multiplayer suite, excellent gun customization, and the kind of visceral gunplay that reminds players why the series remains a global force. Zombies is solid as ever, and the overall gameplay experience is smooth, visually appealing, and mechanically refined.On the other hand, the campaign — a pillar of the Black Ops legacy — is one of the weakest the franchise has seen in years. Its forced co-op structure undermines its potential, and its story lacks the clarity and emotional resonance that defined earlier entries.In the end, this year’s Call of Duty delivers incredible highs and frustrating lows. Fans who come for the competitive modes will find plenty to love, but those looking for a strong narrative experience may walk away disappointed.
Double Dragon Revive punches its way back into the spotlight with smooth performance, deep combat, and a healthy dose of nostalgia. It’s a fun, interactive, and well-built brawler that honours its roots while embracing modern polish, even if its story and structure play it safe.
Dispatch isn’t a game about saving the world. It’s about trying to hold it together when everything falls apart, both personally and professionally. It’s weird, stylish, and self-aware in the best way. showing that found family is even more powerful than blood, and that not all heroes wear capes. An interactive series that makes you laugh, think, and sometimes second-guess your choices. If you’ve missed that classic Telltale style of rich storytelling energy that once defined the genre, this one deserves a spot at the top of your playlist. Definitely a recommended narrative play.
Painkiller combines DOOM’s speed, Back 4 Blood’s cooperative chaos, and its own legendary flair for carnage. The refined weapon system, deep progression, and atmospheric visuals make it a must-play for fans of high-intensity shooters. Though brief in length, its sheer entertainment value and co-op replayability secure its place as one of the best action titles of the year.
Dead Take understands that true fear comes not from monsters, but from the reflection of our own doubts and desires. It’s elegant, unnerving, and utterly captivating. With its breathtaking visuals, emotionally charged performances, and a story that prioritizes slow-burn tension over cheap scares, Dead Take stands as one of the best psychological horror titles in recent memory. A few technical flaws and punishing puzzles slightly dull its polish, but its mastery of atmosphere and storytelling make it a haunting experience worth exploring.
With ICE-Q 2.0 at its core, NHL 26 delivers smarter AI, more authentic skating, and a Be A Pro mode that finally feels meaningful. While a few visual shortcomings remain, the combination of realism, depth, and pure hockey excitement makes this one of the best entries in the series’ modern era.
Sonokuni delivers fast-paced, stylish combat, an incredible soundtrack, and a high skill ceiling that rewards mastery. While its story is minimal and its difficulty intense, its audiovisual design and gameplay precision make it one of the most memorable indie action games of the year.
Wreckreation combines the speed and chaos of Burnout with the creative freedom of Trackmania, offering a massive open world filled with stunts, races, and endless customization. Despite a few technical hiccups and a quiet online scene, it delivers pure joy and nostalgia for fans of arcade racing.
Wreckfest 2 delivers spectacular destruction, detailed damage modelling, and aggressive AI that make every race unpredictable and exhilarating. Though still light on content, its technical foundation and visual fidelity show incredible promise for full release.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: The Order of Giants is a powerful reminder of what makes adventure games great. It’s cinematic, intelligent, and packed with charm. The puzzles are some of the best in the series, the writing is sharp, and the world feels alive with historical intrigue.
Karma: The Dark World is a haunting and visually breathtaking psychological thriller. With stunning presentation, top-tier voice acting, and a deeply emotional narrative, it stands as one of the most memorable and meaningful gaming experiences in years. While its slower pace and heavy story focus may not appeal to everyone, for fans of atmospheric and narrative-driven adventures, it’s nothing short of remarkable.
Hirogami blends origami artistry with platforming creativity, offering a relaxing and visually stunning adventure filled with clever transformations. Its gorgeous presentation, great sound design, and beginner-friendly gameplay make it easy to love, even if uneven difficulty and repetitive music hold it back from greatness.
Otherskin delivers strong world design, striking visuals, and fun morphing mechanics that feel pulled from the golden age of adventure gaming. But severe optimization problems, repetitive combat, and unpolished gameplay prevent it from reaching its full potential. If patched, it could become a cult favourite for now, it’s a beautiful but broken journey.
Silent Hill F captures everything that made the franchise legendary psychological depth, grotesque beauty, and emotional storytelling, while introducing a bold new cultural setting and a memorable protagonist. Its combat issues may frustrate, but its atmosphere and narrative artistry make it a must-play for horror fans.
For veterans, it is a trip down memory lane that feels as fierce and satisfying as ever. For newcomers, it is a history lesson in what made Mortal Kombat a cultural phenomenon. The Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection is the ultimate celebration of a fighting game icon. It captures the essence of what made Mortal Kombat revolutionary while giving players the tools to appreciate its history, artistry, and cultural impact.
Overall I would say that Just Dance 2026 Edition is a solid addition to the Just Dance lineup. It stays true to the game franchises' roots while introducing fresh new tracks and game modes that keep the fun going. If you are a known Just Dance lover, it's an easy add to your collection. If you just want a game that gets you dancing, introduces you to new genres, and offers welcoming gameplay for all skill levels, definitely try it out.
It is a good game, but despite genuinely enjoying some aspects, I was left wanting more.
It is a heartfelt, cozy, and impressive creative playground, especially remarkable for a solo developer, and a fantastic pick for anyone who loves to design at their own pace. I recommend you try it for yourself and let me know what you build.
