Fading Serenades is a carefully composed indie experience that values mood, music and quiet reflection. Its delivery-focused structure and gentle traversal systems create moments of genuine calm, even if repetition and narrative restraint prevent it from fully resonating long after the credits roll.
Night Swarm delivers fast-paced roguelite combat with strong visual identity and engaging build crafting, but uneven balance and progression pacing hold it back from lasting greatness.
Devil Jam pairs confident style with familiar systems, offering a rhythm-infused experience that entertains early before settling into comfortable repetition.
I Am Future: Cozy Apocaplyse Survival is less about overcoming the end of the world and more about learning how to live gently within it, embracing routine and reflection over pressure.
Octopath Traveler 0 is a confident and polished HD 2D JRPG, where exceptional turn-based combat and thoughtful systems consistently outshine its cautious approach to storytelling and character development.
PowerWash Simulator 2 is a confident, thoughtful sequel that deepens its foundation through refinement rather than reinvention. It knows exactly what it wants to be, and it succeeds by committing fully to that vision.
Pioneers of Pagonia rewards patience and understanding, offering a city builder that grows richer the longer you stay with it.
Xenopurge succeeds as a nerve-testing tactical experience, even as it hints at a deeper game still waiting to emerge.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is a beautifully crafted return that values restraint over reinvention, leaving a strong but slightly hollow impression that loses its wonder.
MARVEL Cosmic Invasion bursts with colour, energy, and punchy team-based action. Its repetition and shallow systems prevent it from rising to true greatness, but even so, it remains a lively cosmic romp for fans who value spectacle and personality.
Skate Story is a mesmerising blend of fragility, speed, and surreal art, carving out a space unlike anything else this year. Its demanding mechanics can frustrate, but its emotional depth and visual brilliance more than reward persistence.
News Tower is a charming, energetic newsroom sim in which every editorial choice shapes your growing media empire. Its layered systems and lively 1930s setting make each issue feel meaningful. Some repetition creeps in later, but the climb remains bright and satisfying.
Little Nightmares III brings stunning nightmares to life, but pacing issues and a shallow co-op keep the Spiral from reaching its full potential, creating a haunting world held back by rushed execution.
A loving tribute to classic strategy, Tempest Rising nails the fundamentals of base-building and tactical warfare. While its ambitions stop short of reinvention, its clarity, pacing, and polish make it one of the most enjoyable RTS releases in years.
Dispatch is a sharp and heartfelt superhero comedy that finds surprising emotional power beneath its chaos. With standout characters, strong writing and confident pacing, it becomes one of the year’s most compelling narrative adventures.
Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter refines the art of small-scale storytelling and precision combat. Visually breathtaking and emotionally grounded, it’s a confident continuation that only falters when its ambitions outpace its mechanics. A brutal but beautiful return to the Rat Kingdom.
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.
