The “product” that WWE offers has rarely felt more morally compromised or bad value than it does today, so it
Date Everything is an impressive dating sim as it expands the number of characters you can date to 100. Each character has a unique personality, and while having 100 of them does sound like a great thing, it can become a repetitive task towards the endgame. You'll need to raise...
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 2 drops you straight into the story with next to no recap on what has happened before. It has been months since the first part, so you may have forgotten major parts of the storyline. It would have been great to get a cutscene...
The PS1 generation of retro 3D platformers is a delight, with many heroes like Crash, Spyro and Rayman making their way into the mainstream. One character that's also on that list is Croc, a mascot from Argonaut Games that spun off from a Yoshi platformer pitch to Nintendo. Croc Legend...
Koira is an enchanting adventure that takes players on an emotional journey between the protagonist and their dog. Studio Tolima's hand-drawn visuals truly pull you in, while the mixture of reds, blacks and whites often makes for a dramatic picture. You can see the emotion of each character prominently through...
WWE 2K25 is one of the biggest leaps in the series so far. While the Island is disappointing, the sheer amount of content in this game is unmatched. You have over 300 wrestlers with more DLC on the way, plenty of fun modes like the highly improved MyGM and the...

After a lengthy delay, Dontnod fans can finally check out Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, a new narrative adventure from the original Life is Strange developer's Montreal division. It's had some disappointing releases, like Tell Me Why and Twin Mirror, so many have hoped that the developer can return to...
Marvel Rivals is a stellar multiplayer game that has plenty of potential in the years ahead. It sounds like it has a great content plan, as the game just added the Invisible Woman and Mr. Fantastic into the game a month into the game's launch. When you keep that in...
Despite a disappointing setlist, Just Dance 2025 Edition still delivers on the fun of the pastime. Some of the choreography can be too complicated for its own good, but there are some tracks that stand out with easier to follow moves like "Paint the Town Red" and "Vogue" by Madonna....
Overall, Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a delight to play. Purple Lamp did a fantastic job of remaking the game from scratch with grand visuals and the addition of a double jump makes the game more playable than its Wii incarnation. The paint and thinner mechanics are a true highlight of...
