Rhythm Heaven Groove has a lot going on, with over 80 minigames, tons of bizarre moments, and a whole lot of heart. The series's wackiness and quirkiness are so hard not to find charming.
Star Fox
Star Fox feels like it’s on the cusp of relevance with this masterfully done remake of an iconic classic.
The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time attempts to balance being a love letter to the RPGs and FMVs of generations past, while moving forward what some recent indies have done. The result is an experience you'll either love or hate. But it's well worth...
Bluey's Quest for the Gold Pen is filled with the same charm you'd expect from its source material while providing a great jumping off point for less experienced players.
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales could've been the next big action RPG, instead, it feels like a lesser version of a game you've played before.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a remarkable achievement for Square Enix, and while the Switch 2 port includes concessions to work on the hardware, the drawbacks don’t diminish what is otherwise a great experience.

Directive 8020
Directive 8020 is the start of a new season for the Dark Pictures anthology, and it’s's off to a good start. The massive leap from Earth to space effectively gives us a way to experience terror and mostly works. Still, it's often undone by dreadful stealth sections that quickly scuttle the...
