Darwin's Paradox
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...
MLB The Show 26
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...
Crimson Desert
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...
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....

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...
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...
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...
High on Life 2
The other side of High on Life 2's gameplay is the big set pieces that show up a few times, and this part of the game is a huge success. There's a battle with Muppy Doo that stands as one of the best boss fights in recent memory. I won’t...
Reanimal
Reanimal feels like a deliberate evolution rather than a spiritual sequel. It abandons the safety net of stylized grotesque horror and embraces something harsher and more intimate. The result is a game that feels confident in its darkness and uninterested in softening its edges for accessibility. I'm not sure Reanimal...
Nioh 3
While there are definitely aspects that weigh Nioh 3 down, the action and core gameplay are its saving grace. Swapping between Ninja and Samurai on the fly stays fun even into the endgame. They already feel distinct, and the small tweaks players can make to suit their style are a...
HighGuard
However, issues like high cosmetic prices, lacking game modes, and overall feeling of a lack of polish, weigh heavily on the game as it stands. None of these problems feel insurmountable, but they do prevent Highguard from reaching its full potential at launch. Highguard is a good game with flashes...
