But Why Tho

Bubsy 4D

5/10

Bubsy 4D tries to modernize, yet still feels stuck in the past. Uninteresting level designs, underwhelming bosses, and a short game overall leave one wanting more.

Tales of Arise

7.5/10

Despite the visual issues, Tales of Arise – Beyond the Dawn Edition does feel great on the Switch 2. The trade-offs here are understandable, as having one of the best JRPGs of this generation on the go is fantastic. The base game feels as good as ever, with the expansion...

Coffee Talk: Tokyo

8.5/10

Coffee Talk Tokyo delivers an incredible story filled with fully realized characters whose lives will undoubtedly bring players to tears (both happy and sad). What the game says about life, our choices, and how we face both is a powerful statement that we can never hear enough of.

Forza Horizon 6

9.5/10

Forza Horizon 6 is the near-perfect racing sandbox fans have wanted for years.

Outbound

7/10

Outbound is a road trip that rewards patience over speed. Square Glade Games has built a world worth getting lost in, with a van customization system that keeps you tinkering and a presentation that always makes the next horizon look worth chasing.

Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth

8.5/10

Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth is about how small acts of kindness can drive out the cold and the fear that comes with it. It’s about opening your door and asking someone how you can help. While Moomin starts the game as a scared child, he discovers the warmth and joy that...

Directive 8020

9.5/10

Directive 8020 is a love letter to the space horror that looks beyond just going bump in the night. The distrust sown across the small team, the dialogue choices, and the interactions all craft a game that feels like it belongs on the shelf alongside titles like Dead Space, Sunshine,...

Mixtape

8/10

Mixtape offers a unique experience, even if it looks familiar at first. The narrative approach to memory and growing up creates a coming-of-age story that weaves through the messiness of teenage emotions. While the very small amount of gameplay can feel repetitive, the story mitigates that weakness.

Invincible Vs.

8/10

Invincible VS delivers a fun, frantic, and brutal fighting game experience. While it can be unforgiving at times, it never feels like you don’t have the tools to survive the bloody battles it challenges you with.

Aphelion

9.5/10

Aphelion is a small game that hits hard with big emotions by embracing the very best elements of science fiction. It embraces humanity and connection while still showcasing the genre’s love of alien planets and condemnation of evil corporations.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream

7.5/10

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a chaotic breath of fresh air, even if it doesn’t offer a ton of things to do.

Saros

9.5/10

Saros is Housemarque at its best. It nails the roguelike formula, with each run feeling completely different than what came before thanks to changing areas and a variety of weapons. The story grips you and doesn’t let go, with Rahul Kohli’s fantastic performance at the heart of it.
