It's hard to believe that Pragmata is coming off the success of Resident Evil Requiem and somehow rivals that game to the same degree of excellence. Even with some repetitive aspects in its structure, every element feels on point. The journey home is emotional and exciting, keeping players engaged from the beginning.
The overlap between gamers and musical fans may be small, but those in that group will likely love People of Note. It succeeds as a fun game while also delivering engaging musical numbers that stick with players.Repetitive grunt battles and some camera issues do weigh the experience down, but they don't spoil the overall production. People of Note still marches to the beat of its own drum, and the result is a game all music lovers should experience.
It helps that Darwin is so adorable and expressive, even with limited facial movement. Another element that works is the stunning music, which harkens back to '50s sci-fi movies. The theremin is used heavily here, and the result is flawless, as the UFOs that abducted Darwin into a strange world also pull the player into a cheesy science fiction flick.
Anyone deciding between sticking with MLB The Show 25 or upgrading to the newest entry should consider the latter. MLB The Show 26's gameplay is more enjoyable for both casual and competitive players, and that's impressive. The onboarding also makes it a excellent jumping on-point for anyone new to the series.
Even though the onboarding was rocky, Crimson Desert stands out for its depth and sense of discovery. It can be a lot to grasp at first, but players who stick with Crimson Desert will discover a game that feels completely different from anything else. Crimson Desert is everything I hoped it would be, and it has the potential to be one of the biggest titles of this generation of gaming.
While the format won’t click with every God of War fan, the 2D action-Metroidvania approach is a welcome change. The foundations are solid, even if it doesn’t push the genre the way the best Metroidvanias do. For anyone who likes both God of War and Metroidvanias, it’s an easy pick. It’s short, but it’s a fun ride.

Anyone can play and enjoy Requiem, including brand-new Resident Evil fans, but long-time fans of the franchise will get the most out of it. Once Resident Evil Requiem gets going, it doesn't let up until the very end. It's still early in the year, but RE9 is already a Game of the Year contender, and it seems destined to be the best horror game of 2026.
Even though Mario Tennis Fever isn't perfect, it's still the best the series has been since Mario Power Tennis on the GameCube. Mario Tennis Fever is a fun time for anyone, and it’s the kind of game that starts with one match and turns into hours with friends. Not every part of the game delivers, but despite those stumbles, it's still a great addition to the Nintendo Switch 2 library.
The only downside to Reimagined is how much hand-holding it has. It feels like the game is trying not to scare off new players, making sure every point lands no matter what, but there are times when it's all too much. Most players will get the tutorials quickly, but Reimagined keeps explaining anyway, and it starts to feel never-ending.
