Drag x Drive
Drag x Drive was one of the more fascinating titles to be revealed during the Switch 2’s inaugural showcase. In theory, it’s deeply Nintendo—an offbeat sports title that takes advantage of a unique control scheme in a way no other video game does. Unfortunately, the final product feels like it...
Wheel World
Sometimes, you just want to get on your bike and ride. That's the general idea behind Wheel World, a new open-world biking adventure from Annapurna Interactive and Nidhogg developer Messhof. While the game does feature a story, things are mostly kept simple and the result is an enjoyably relaxing ride.
We’ve had quite a few non-FromSoftware takes on the Soulslike genre that could easily stand on their own for one reason or another, and this season, Chengdu-based Leenzee is throwing its hat in that ring in its gaming debut. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a Soulslike game that takes us to...
Shadow Labyrinth
Video games being self-referential is about as special as grocery store sushi, but Shadow Labyrinth is like how Kroger started dusting its spicy California rolls with Flamin’ Hot Cheetos crumbs. The team behind this monstrosity basically asked: “Pac-Man’s 45th birthday is here; what if instead of the usual stuff we...
With the arrival of Donkey Kong: Bananza, Nintendo’s legendary gorilla is finally back in the spotlight for a new 3D platformer. This sprawling journey is rich with challenging platforming sequences, a plethora of unique enemies, and features that will alter the DNA of this franchise moving forward. Top it all...
It has been a little under six years since the original Death Stranding came out and much has changed since. We’ve seen the world go through political and economic turmoil, a pandemic, and so much more. Maybe that’s part of what makes Death Stranding 2: On the Beach so interesting...
Everdeep Aurora
A kitten in a dark cloak awakens in the rain on a bench at the end of the world. Something has split the moon in two. It hangs in the sky angry and red and shattered. Meteors fall from the sky. The other animals have already gone underground. The kitten...
Rematch
When I was a kid, I played a lot of soccer (I would like to apologize to everyone else in the world; I am, regrettably, American). I was on a team, and we were good. Make the local paper good, mind; we weren’t going to go pro or anything, but...

Len's Island
There’s nothing I hate more than a video game that wastes my time. Len's Island is guilty of that sin. Like any game so steeped in its own genre that it loses the forest for the trees, Len’s Island assumes you know how to play it and refuses to do...
Cast n Chill
From mini games that are part of a larger experience to fishing as the centerpiece, developers have been sharing their vision of what fishing should be for decades. It’s always intriguing to see how something that has so much downtime translates to games that must keep you engaged and entertained....
Splitgate 2
I fell in love with the original Splitgate during a time I was yearning for a compelling FPS experience. Eventually, I grew bored of it and stopped playing, but Splitgate 2 was immediately on my radar. A sequel boasting technical improvements over the original game with the addition of highly-requested...
