Overall I love Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse. When it was first announced I was simply thrilled that this legendary series was finally making a proper comeback, and after experiencing the sheer quality of this successor I’m convinced that it’s here to stay. Evil Empire shows an obvious love and admiration for the Konami series and while I’d liked its difficulty to have a bit more of a kick, I think it’ll be fine for most players.
Some frustrations with the first-person camera aside, Valor Mortis is a very capable soulslike that is well worth checking out during this busy season of game releases, even if there isn’t a whole lot of new elements that it brings to the table.
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival was a tough game to critique, as the pieces were all there, they just didn’t all mesh together in the right way. I’d still recommend it to Hellraiser and horror fans alike though. My only advice would be to knock it down to the story mode to alleviate some of its more frustrating elements.
It’s well worth picking up for any Star Wars fan, and I’m already hoping it’s followed up by a full-on podracing game with customisable rides.
Gears of War: E-Day is a solid prequel that gets a lot of things right. The characters, the combat, and the visuals all mesh together into a must-play adventure for any Gears of War fan, but it’s also an excellent starting point for those new to the series.
I consider it to be one of the best games in the series. With this being another standalone story, as much as returning fans will find joy in it, it should also appeal to new fans jumping into this legendary series for the very first time.
I will say, though, that Remedy still maintains its strong core identity with Control Resonant, with its strong narrative design and refined combat, where it’ll go down as one of this year’s best action games.
If you’re a diehard fan, then the chances are that you’ve already ordered EA Sports FC 27. However, if you’re new to the series and have been away for one or two releases, this year’s entry could be the perfect opportunity to rekindle or spark your love for the beautiful game.
If you go into Marvel’s Wolverine with lowered expectations, able to look past some of its flaws, and not expect another Marvel’s Spider-Man, it might not hit the same heights as some of Insomniac Games’ best work, but there is enough here for it to be a worthwhile adventure for fans, both casual and devoted, of Marvel’s ever-popular but grumpy hero.
After more than 20 years of waiting, fans can finally return to this beloved samurai action series, and that patience has absolutely been rewarded. Onimusha: Way of the Sword delivers a modern take on the franchise without losing sight of what made the original games so special, making this one comeback that was well worth the wait.
The Blood of Dawnwalker deserves to be a new AAA mainstay, and I’d gladly join Coen on future ventures. Rebel Wolves’ debut outing is everything you could want from the former director of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but it’s also something entirely new.
It’s remarkable to see the tide turning on No More Room In Hell 2, going from a botched early access launch that brought in a large number of negative Steam reviews to one of the best action coop experiences of 2026. Torn Banner Studios have really turned things around for this game, and I’m excited to see what the post-launch support will bring.
For returning players who rinsed through the first half of the game back in November, that’s an excellent hook to bring them back to see the story through to its conclusion. For new players, it’s a big ask to tell them that the game doesn’t really reach its fullest potential until you’ve played for around 5 or 6 hours. Not that the stages or narrative in Act One were bad, per se, but more that Ambrosia Sky doesn’t really start gripping you until you’re deep into the second act.
In many ways, I still think it’s a shame that we had to go all the way back to the beginning to get a truly excellent Halo game, but Halo: Campaign Evolved does give me hope for the future of this franchise.
Whether you’re a returning veteran or a newbie, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is the definitive way to experience this all-time classic.
If Star Fox is intended to be a soft-reboot for an entire fleet of new games, it does the job well, and earns its place in the Nintendo Switch 2 library.
If modern-day AAAs have left a hole in your life that’s longing to be filled by a retro-revival, Mina The Hollower is for you. It’s also for those who are craving their next gruelling gaming challenge.
007 First Light is an exquisite taste of slick spy action and blockbuster storytelling, and is fully what a Bond game should be, but rarely is.
Whatever it lacks in story or challenge is made up with clever gameplay mechanics disguised as weird and wonderful creatures. It’s unfortunate that some of that magic dissipates on a replay, but even when you’ve filled all of the mysterious book’s pages, you’re still left with another charming Yoshi platformer to enjoy at leisure.
Thick As Thieves is fun for a fiver, but it does feel like a small chunk of something far bigger and more interesting that we may never get to see.
