Wuchang goes back to the genre’s roots in terms of level design, and this actually dates the title more than it makes it feel at home in 2025. The area-to-area exploration is some of the weakest I’ve known, and ultimately ends up being frustrating more than fun. Nevertheless, the rest of the game makes up for this weak point, and Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is the start of an exciting new franchise Souls fans need to play.
One of Sniper Elite Resistance’s missions is called “End of the Line.” I found it fitting as I flirted with the notion in my mind. The franchise has something that demands more games and maintains a pretty consistent fanbase eating up everything Rebellion puts out. But I think even hardened fans will have a hard time seeing the need for this sequel.
Across the 10-15 hours of Astro Bot I gratefully lapped up, I had an immovable grin on my face. I smiled and laughed (unironically) from start to finish—Astro Bot is ridiculously fun and makes gaming fun.
CYGNI: All Guns Blazing is a functional arcade shooter that’s pretty to look at and pleasant to listen to, but it's an average experience with uninspired ideas that add nothing to the genre.
Stellar Blade sets a high bar, and its combination of exhilarating combat, sumptuous graphics, and deep systems makes it flourish in an era chock-full of high-class contemporaries.
There’s plenty to enjoy here. The world itself is a delight, every combat encounter is a blast and gets more fun as you progress, and Team Ninja’s endearing auteur influences are plastered all over Rise of the Ronin. I truly enjoyed Rise of the Ronin and everything it accomplished, but it tries to fill a gap that didn’t need to be filled, and I’m left wondering which direction we’re headed in next.
Ubisoft has reminded everyone that it is more than just RPG collect-a-thons and shooters. Throughout The Lost Crown, I was pensive due to the story, perplexed at the deviousness and cunningness of its traps and calculated conundrums, and pleasantly surprised at how glorious Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is. Not only is it soulful, it’s a living, breathing embodiment of ingenuity done right, transcending all expectations and doubts I had.
Following on from her 2016 debut, Shelly "Bombshell" Harrison hits the big time with Ion Fury; the latest first-person shooter from 3D Realms - creators of the infamous Duke Nukem franchise. Ion Fury is a celebration of old-school, first-person shooter games, and embraces those classic tropes in beautiful and bloody fashion.
