The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is still a masterpiece, even after eight years. While the shrines, lack of proper dungeons, frustrating difficulty with the DLCs, and odd choices with the Switch 2 version can pull players away from the immersive experience, the narrative, gameplay, extra content, and...
Bubble Bobble Sugar Dungeons carries the tried-and-true Bubble Bobble gameplay that fans are familiar with, but the lackluster dungeons and repetitive nature of the game will certainly turn players off. The game lacks a compelling hook with its progression system, and by the time you get to the post-game, you'll...
From beginning to end, Skate Story is a fantastic experience. The great narrative premise, a charming list of characters, beautiful visuals, a brilliant soundtrack, and addictive gameplay strike the right balance between style and substance. While I wish there was more content to experience once the credits roll, I will...
UNBEATABLE is a frustrating mess. While there's a great gameplay and narrative premise, it's often undermined by frequent glitches, strange writing, and a focus on random minigames, exploration, and platforming instead of the core rhythm sections. Even if all the bugs are fixed, I struggle to recommend this game for...
At its best, Tokyo Xtreme Racer delivers racing thrills like no other game will. Battling at high speeds while weaving through traffic gets the heart pounding. This new entry doesn't bring too much new to the table, but it never had to anyway. It's a solid modern conversion of old...
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is an excellent Musou game that any One Piece fan will instantly fall in love with. Although the game can be daunting for newcomers and the camera can be tricky at times, it's hard not to appreciate the incredible work Omega Force has done implementing...

ROUTINE is a perfect example of how experimenting with the horror genre can pay off fantastically. While the lack of a map and a proper pause screen can be frustrating, the difficulty makes each gameplay set piece feel far more uneasy. Additionally, the subtle approach to storytelling helps to enhance...

Octopath Traveler 0 delivers the series’ most cohesive story yet, backed by its sharpest combat system and a surprisingly addictive town-building feature. By blending a focused narrative with a large, memorable cast and wrapping it all in gorgeous HD-2D visuals, it stands as both the strongest entry in the franchise...
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 delivers solid multiplayer and a decent Zombies mode, but its campaign is a messy, Warzone-influenced experiment that fails to land. Despite some attempts to innovate, the game lacks meaningful change and feels almost identical to Black Ops 6. Overall, this year's entry feels creatively...
Marvel Cosmic Invasion continues Marvel Games' effort to experiment with the beloved IP. The use of fan-service and both obscure and iconic characters in the narrative is so well done, the gameplay mechanics are extremely fun to play around with, and the art style is a treat to look at....
