Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is a wonderful return for the classic franchise, featuring fluid combat with tons of variety, as well as exciting boss encounters. While combat is definitely the highlight, its art design is a sight to behold and is undeniably one of the most stylish games of 2025. While its platforming needs a bit of fine-tuning, it isn't enough to hinder how much fun it is to combo the heck out of foes.
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is an adrenaline-pumping action platformer with killer pixel art and fast-paced gameplay. Levels are challenging -- especially in hard mode -- and bosses are not to be underestimated. Stages feel dynamic and always have something new to offer, so I was hooked from start to finish.
System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster is engrossing, deep, and atmospheric. It's a game that has aged marvelously, but even so, Nightdive's efforts in remastering this classic makes it more accessible than ever before.
A jack-of-all-trades roguelite that sacrifices depth to reach as many bases as possible, succeeding barely in some, and excelling in others.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown is a bit lacking in terms of difficulty and enemy variety, and the story doesn't feel too creative. That said, the abilities of each Ninja Turtle reflect their personalities well and allows for some visceral tactical takedowns. Generally, it's a game turn-based tactics fans should enjoy for a few hours.
A classic with a quality remaster, Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny features crisp, enhanced visuals and other improvements like auto-save and new controls. The campiness of the story is endearing, and the action-oriented, Resident Evil-like gameplay holds up after all these years.

There's no doubt Rusty Rabbit is a competent game made by talented developers. Its platforming and exploration are enjoyable in later areas, but Rusty Rabbit makes several missteps in several facets of its gameplay (especially early on) and lack of character development.
Driving around a spooky and mysterious Japanese town in a souped-out Kei truck is a surprising amount of fun. The business management is simple but deep enough to keep players engaged, and the gripping, mysterious story of the town will keep you engaged from start to finish.
Obsidian Entertainment continues to live up to players' expectations of delivering a game with quality writing, engaging choices, and compelling gameplay. Avowed is all those things and more: an epic fantasy that'll keep you hooked, which makes it one of the best RPGs this decade.
