But Why Tho

Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian

7/10

While Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian doesn’t provide a shockingly different or awe-inspiring experience, it is still a respectable and enjoyable entry in the Atelier series.

Hades 2

10/10

Hades 2 is a standout experience in a year full of highlights, keeping the player coming back run after run for just one more go. The art style and graphics are as impressive as ever, a visual feast at every turn.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger

9/10

Digimon Story: Time Stranger is a perfect entry point for newcomers to the Digimon world, without alienating long-time fans.

LEGO Party

8.5/10

For Lego’s first party game, Lego Party is a strong entry, with lots of unlockable minifigures, the ability to create your own, and fun, distinct boards to play on.

Dying Light: The Beast

7.5/10

Dying Light: The Beast provides highly entertaining and engaging gameplay elements, but falters with its lackluster narrative and mundane visuals.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles

9/10

Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles is an incredible package that brings back a classic to new audiences in stellar fashion.

EA Sports FC 26

8/10

There is plenty to enjoy in EA Sports FC 26 for soccer fans of all backgrounds, creating a truly excellent experience. Minor changes going forward will only help turn a very good game into something special.

Borderlands 4

7.5/10

Despite its somewhat underwhelming story and lackluster open world, Borderlands 4 is a fantastic new entry in the series that offers hours of entertainment through its new, refreshing, and engaging gameplay elements.

LEGO Voyagers

9/10

LEGO Voyagers is whimsical, charming, and honestly, the perfect game to play when you need to relax and connect with someone else.

NHL 26

8/10

NHL 26 brings new gameplay changes that bring hockey to life in a way that is better than ever. There are still some things to be ironed out, a typical issue for yearly sports releases, but there is a lot of fun to be had for hockey fans everywhere.

The Long Dark

6.5/10

The Long Walk is a story that I never thought could be adapted into a film. Stephen King‘s first written work, published under his pen name (Richard Bachman) after he began his career as a horror writer, is one of my favorite pieces of fiction from the master of horror....

Lost Soul Aside

6.5/10

Lost Soul Aside is an action-heavy, flashy adventure with fun combat but a forgettable story.
