Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road does so many things right it's easy to ignore its flaws, but they are there and could be deal breakers if you only have a passing interest in either football or the anime that inspired this game. However, give it a try and you're going to see why the IP is so popular. It’s a chilled-out, if rather expensive, option for football fans looking for something different to play.
Sleep Awake is a solid game whose story, visuals, and audio design are excellent. The experience is going to have you invested in it from start to finish but isn't likely to have you returning back to it once you're done. That's because of a relatively simple gameplay loop that focuses on traversal and puzzle solving over outright horror, making this an examination of a complex premise that doesn't push its boundaries far enough to stand out.
Total Chaos brings enough to the table to be worth trying, despite minor issues that may affect your enjoyment depending on how much they matter to you. For the most part, though, it’s a challenging survival horror experience that’s well-designed and consistently focused on building fear and tension.
Rennsport is a pro-focused racer that shows promise but falls short of Gran Turismo’s heights, remaining enjoyable yet held back by notable caveats.
There's a lot to love about Wreckreation but its issues, both major and minor, hold it back from being a brilliant sandbox that has you spending hours of unadulterated fun on its streets. Yet, there's something about the experience that is sure to keep you coming back for more.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 isn't a game that stands out in any aspect. It sadly doesn't join the ranks of 2025's best, and is probably going to be among the year's most notable failures.
Plants Vs. Zombies Replanted is a faithful recreation of the original game that brings every bit of its charm and fun gameplay loop to modern platforms. It's as entertaining, unique, and quirky as it was back in the day, and is definitely worth diving back into if you loved the original release. If you haven't, this one's a treat!
Little Nightmares III is definitely worth a try, bringing a unique brand of horror and platforming puzzle action to the table in an instalment that builds on the franchise's best features.
Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist and the White Guardian isn't a revolutionary addition to the RPG genre, but nails down its execution well enough to be an entertaining game in its own right. The alchemy system is surprisingly deep while its combat mechanics are decent for an evening of fun without the need to master enemy attack patterns and party windows.
Dying Light: The Beast is a polished, well-crafted experience that builds on the franchise's strengths while adding new creative flourishes to its formula.
