A triumph of design and discipline, Anno 117: Pax Romana elevates the city-builder to an art form, where an empire of balance, built on trade, faith and foresight, rises above all.
Despite promising ideas and real-time battles that could have evolved the series, Pokémon Legends: Z-A feels small, unfinished, and creatively hesitant. Lumiose City offers little to explore, the Z-A Royale grinds pacing to a halt, and the few glimmers of ambition are buried under a sense of obligation rather than inspiration.
Godbreakers burns bright but fast. Its free-flowing combat and god-stealing chaos make for an exhilarating roguelike loop, yet repetition and uneven tuning stop it from achieving true divinity.
A reverent remake that balances nostalgia with modern polish — Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is the definitive way to experience one of the series' highest points in modern times.
A loving, if slightly conservative, remake that reaffirms why Plants vs. Zombies stood the test of time. Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted may not sprout new ideas, but it keeps the garden alive and in full bloom.
A deeply human story about survival and conscience, 1998: The Toll Keeper Story turns Southeast Asia’s turbulent history into a quiet, unforgettable act of empathy.
The Outer Worlds 2 doesn’t rewrite Obsidian’s playbook, but it sharpens it. A confident sequel that trades revolution for refinement, it thrives on meaningful choices, tighter systems, and a biting yet weary satire of corporate greed. It may play it safe, but it’s an impeccably crafted RPG that rewards commitment over comfort.
Amid the incessant stream of lucrative micro-transacting titles, Town to City’s staggering $20 price tag feels like a breath of fresh air. Coupled with the backdrop of a doom-and-gloom world, the fundamental objective of the game couldn’t ring truer: “Measure success not by gold, but by smiles.”
Murder Inc wants to place itself up there with top-down action games like Hotline Miami, but it doesn’t quite have the right level of precision or polish to make that happen. While the time mechanics are interesting, they wear out quickly in a game that lacks variety and raises frustration much more than adrenaline.
Techland claws its way back with Dying Light: The Beast, an unflinching, beautifully grotesque evolution of its zombie saga. Stronger in identity and mechanics than its predecessor, it trades sprawling ambition for focused terror and ends up all the better for it. Occasional repetition and story safety hold it back from greatness, but when it hits, it devours.
EA Sports FC 26 balances refinement and familiarity, delivering its most enjoyable matches in years — but its cluttered menus and monetisation still drag down the momentum.
Lost Soul Aside lands as a dazzling yet uneven action RPG, as it thrills in combat but falters in story, world, and polish for a flawed but interesting debut.
While Silent Hill f has an interesting premise and some fun puzzles, the combat and design decisions make actually seeing the story to completion more work than it needs to be.
The King Is Watching is a clever kingdom-builder that thrives on its unique gaze mechanic, but repetition and punishing randomness mean its crown shines brightest in short bursts.
For those who loved Ghost of Tsushima, this is essential. For newcomers, it is one of the finest samurai adventures gaming has ever seen. And for everyone, it proves that Sucker Punch remains a studio at the height of its powers. If not for the slight misstep with the targets of our ire, Atsu's quest would have been a perfect slice of brilliance.
A strong rebound for the franchise, NBA 2K26 sharpens gameplay fundamentals, polishes presentation, and answers fan feedback from last year. VC monetisation and online demands still sting, but the on-court action is the best it’s been in years
Hollow Knight: Silksong is a beautifully crafted Metroidvania that rewards exploration and dedication to seeing every corner of Pharloom, even if its difficulty feels artificially inflated and limiting than one would like.
As we enter the busiest season of the year when it comes to big new game releases, it’s very easy to miss mid-sized experiments like The Rogue Prince of Persia, but the good news is that Evil Empire’s brave little spinoff has enough moves of its own to wow and can be fully absorbed in under 10 hours. While it won’t become a roguelite obsession of mine, it’s hard not to consider such a laser-focused effort a winner.
The visuals and music are fantastic, the combat stellar and invigorating, and the platforming and exploration elements are masterfully done. Plus, you'll get access to Boss Rush and Arcade Mode upon clearing the game, adding even more replayability to a modern masterpiece. This revival hits all the marks with glittering, sharp kunai - what more can you ask for?
Between the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, the upcoming Ninja Gaiden 4, and now Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, Ninja Gaiden fans have been eating good recently. This is a true labour of love from The Game Kitchen, one that timelessly revitalises classic Ninja Gaiden. If Ragebound is an indication of where the series is going in the future, things are looking sharp as a kunai for the seminal action franchise.
