Order of the Sinking Star
For now, this game seems like it's shooting for heights that most puzzle games never reach, but maybe this one will get there. There's really no way to tell until the game launches in October, and everyone gets their hands on it. I really enjoyed what I heard, saw, and...
The Sinking City 2
The Sinking City 2 is an absolute triumph, not only due to its harrowing real-world origins, but because of how Frogwares masterfully crafted a survival horror game as their first product in the genre. Its story, world, and characters are enthralling and compelling, and by the end of my first...
Mortal Shell II
If Cold Symmetry can fix the bugs that plague some of the bosses, Mortal Shell II will go down as one of the best Soulslikes on the market right now. The improvements over the original make this one of the most impressive sequels I have ever experienced, with the changes...
Madden NFL 27
One step forward, one step back; that's the Madden NFL 27 way. There's clearly a lot of work that went into this year's version of Madden, especially compared to how lazy Madden NFL 26 felt. For the most part, it works out quite well, and I appreciate a lot of...
Duskfade
Duskfade reminded me that a game doesn't need to reinvent the wheel to leave an impression. Sometimes, all it takes is a colorful world, satisfying movement, charming characters, and a genuine sense of passion behind every little detail to make you feel enthralled. There are certainly areas where its simplicity...
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is the fighting game revival Marvel absolutely needed, with its enthralling story, exhilarating anime style, and robust number of modes that will keep players coming back for more again and again. It has an incredible roster of familiar and lesser-known fighters that all play distinct from...
Hell Let Loose: Vietnam
UNLEASH HELL IN THE JUNGLE Enter the explosive conflict of the Vietnam War and fight your way through some of the fiercest clashes in modern history. Join the battle raging across an extreme landscape of vast mountain gorges and thick jungle, where the North Vietnamese Armies clash with the military...
Mistfall Hunter
Mistfall Hunter is a great game that's buried under some questionable design choices. In its best moments, its combat keeps you on the edge of your seat. In its worst moments, you'll constantly be wondering why the devs did things the way they did. All in all, if you're looking...
Beast of Reincarnation
Beast of Reincarnation is a fantastic ARPG that helps push Game Freak out of Pokémon’s shadow. Its expressive and deep combat system offers players a plethora of abilities that allow for long-running combos, intense encounters, and just overall a fun time. The inclusion of a command-based system was brilliant, as...
Palworld
I can’t recommend Palworld enough. If you’re sick of the monotony of other creature collectors and are looking for something deep and expansive, then look no further. Palworld offers a rich experience, full of charm, humor, gorgeous vistas and breathtaking moments. Not only will you find something bold and inventive,...
Splatoon Raiders
Splatoon Raiders is a gorgeous, brilliantly fast-paced shooter that looks and feels excellent to play. The shooting systems are lovely, and each raid feels like a bite-sized chunk of energetic fun. Some of the optional challenge maps feel a bit like bloat, and there's a certain sense of familiarity that...
Halo: Campaign Evolved
Halo: Campaign Evolved brings back one of the coolest FPS experiences of all time, and it looks better than ever. Unfortunately, some PS5-specific headaches and bad performance issues are currently holding it back in major ways. At least half the missions on base PS5 have awful framerate issues, and the...
