Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave brings its sprawling story to life through varied heroes, rewarding preparation and compelling tactical battles, but repeated campaigns and uneven pacing make the journey towards its impressive finale an exhausting commitment.
Anomalith delivers an intriguing world and plenty of freedom to customise its arsenal, but stiff combat, repetitive exploration and an intrusive inventory system undermine the appeal of its otherwise enjoyable supernatural shooting.
Theos: Cities of Myth brings personality and purpose to familiar city-building foundations, pairing divine patrons with appealing settlements. Repetitive patrol management and limited combat temper the satisfaction of nurturing a thriving Greek polis.
Dune: Awakening turns survival into a satisfying pursuit of greater freedom, with solo play opening Arrakis to more explorers. Repetitive gathering, uneven combat, and cumbersome menus nevertheless keep its considerable ambition from fully flourishing.
With a comprehensive selection of core multiplayer modes, a convincing take on extraction shooters, and the strongest – albeit rushed at times – campaign of this rebooted sub-series, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is a slam dunk from Infinity Ward and the support studios that proves the franchise is at its best when developers are given extra time to cook.
Phantom Blade Zero pairs extraordinary martial arts combat with inventive weapons, superb bosses and a compelling wuxia world. Camera issues and familiar side-quest objectives occasionally interrupt the flow, but its depth and responsiveness keep rewarding mastery and delivering an epic adventure.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered strengthens an exceptional RPG through welcome refinements and richer presentation. Some combat awkwardness and technical blemishes remain, but its characters, consequential quests and remarkable expansions make this an engrossing adventure.
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 expands its satisfying carnage with a second protagonist, varied environments, and branching missions. Repetition and uneven enemy behaviour hold it back, but its thunderous weapons make another purge easy to enjoy.
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter builds on its excellent predecessor with stronger character development, more engaging battles, and a more emotional story. Familiar environments and minor gameplay frustrations do little to diminish this outstanding RPG sequel.
Orc Incremental delivers an enjoyable blend of army-building, addictive progression and nostalgic presentation. However, demanding resource grinds, stubborn difficulty spikes and diminishing strategic depth mean that conquering the battlefield eventually becomes more repetitive than rewarding.
Silent Hill: Townfall makes a convincing case for psychological horror beyond familiar ground, pairing a superb Scottish setting with strong atmosphere and storytelling. Frustrating stealth and fading reliance on the CRTV keep an otherwise memorable descent from reaching greater heights.
EA Sports FC 27 makes meaningful progress with more deliberate football, an improved Career Mode, and the promising arrival of The Grounds, though familiar frustrations and a conservative Ultimate Team keep it from reaching greater heights.
Omega Force smartly preserves the simple, addictive appeal of Dynasty Warriors 3 while modernising combat and presentation. Repetition and ageing battlefield design remain, but this is a confident revival of classic Musou action.
Echoes of Sekigahara gives Atsu greater emotional depth through a compelling return to her past, while Most Wanted transforms Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition’s excellent combat into an addictive, challenging roguelike loop.
Gears of War: E-Day modernises the series without losing its trademark weight, pairing brutal combat and meaningful weapon customisation with strong character work, smart exploration and only a handful of frustrating solo-play shortcomings.
Control Resonant transforms Manhattan into an irresistible paranatural playground, pairing rewarding exploration with expressive buildcrafting. Repetitive combat loops and uneven encounters hold it back, but Remedy’s strange storytelling remains difficult to resist.
Insomniac gives Logan a focused, brutal adventure with strong character work, spectacular set pieces, and rewarding progression in Marvel's Wolverine, but repetitive late-game encounters and underwhelming boss design keep its claws from cutting quite as deeply as they should.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a spectacular revival built around sublime, ever-evolving combat, striking Genma design and memorable boss battles. Repetitive side activities dull the blade slightly, but little else gets in Musashi’s way.
Bubbly Basin is a charming, densely packed extension of Pokémon Pokopia that rewards returning players with more room to create. Its biggest limitation is that many of the game’s most meaningful improvements arrive through the free update instead.
Splatoon Raiders is yet another surprising first-party addition to the Nintendo Switch 2’s catalogue. Its mission-based hunt for gold and power might not be for everyone, but Nintendo’s first step into the looter shooter space is confident and robust.
