Lords of the Fallen
A Soulslike elevated by a magnificent realm-hopping twist, yet chained down by a host of irritating little flaws.
Counter-Strike 2
Big patch energy and some glaring omissions aside, it's still an FPS that generates thrilling moments and has the framework in place to supersede its predecessor. Just give it time.
Cocoon
Masterful geography makes this world-hopping puzzler not only a series of clever problems, but a grand exploration of a wonderfully realised cosmic universe.
Exoprimal
Several hours in, Exoprimal seems like an underwhelming competitive shooter which somehow fumbles mechs versus hordes of dinosaurs - arguably, the greatest concept.
Team Ninja has streamlined Nioh with dashes of Sekiro, but it stands on its own as a Soulslike with, arguably, the crispest combat out there.
Like a Dragon: Ishin!
An 1800s action-adventure that's sure to both delight longtime Yakuza fans and make for a perfect entry point into the series for newcomers.
Wanted: Dead
Wanted: Dead has the briefest, briefest glimpses of good, but this third-person action game is a frustrating mess in almost every regard.
Sonic Frontiers
Probably the best Sonic has been for a while, with open zones that make for scrappy fun and incredible frustration in your hunt for the Chaos Emeralds.
Gotham Knights
An action-RPG that wraps what could've been a wonderfully realised Gotham universe in a tired, slapdash mix of meaningless numbers and loot.
Two Point Campus
University management is an easygoing joy which makes it a great time for all, even if it doesn't entirely reward you for building a campus that's uniquely yours.
Escape Academy
Despite its empty halls and predictable plot, it's a charming escape room sim that's filled with clever puzzles that reward and rarely frustrate. The entire thing can be played with a bud too, making this a brilliant co-op jaunt.
PowerWash Simulator
A powerwash 'em up which makes the fight against grime a soothing experience and a rare simulator that's focused on fun, not faff.
