Doom: The Dark Ages

8/10

Doom: The Dark Ages is definitely a game that you play for the shooting mechanics and not the story, but the newly implemented Shield Saw brings a breath of fresh, aggressive air to the demon-slaying fun.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

9/10

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a milestone achievement for Sandfall Interactive. Fans of turn-based RPGs should be right at home with its traditional stylings tuned for a modern age, and while difficulty can ramp up without warning, the challenge of getting through each battle makes it all worthwhile.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

8/10

If you're looking for a fun new fighting game to play in 2025, then Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is a great contender. There's a little bit of everything for players in the genre, and it does a great job of teaching newcomers the basics. The Rev system helps...

Forever Skies

7/10

Forever Skies provides fun exploration-based gameplay with a dash of combat, but it's hamstrung by performance problems caused by weather effects, story areas, and building.

Rusty Rabbit

6/10

There's no doubt Rusty Rabbit is a competent game made by talented developers. Its platforming and exploration are enjoyable in later areas, but Rusty Rabbit makes several missteps in several facets of its gameplay (especially early on) and lack of character development.

Blue Prince

9.5/10

Blue Prince is absolutely top of its field in gameplay, worldbuilding, and puzzle implementation. Constantly, players will find themselves pulling on red twine and the result is always satisfying. RNG is certainly not always your friend though.

Promise Mascot Agency

9/10

Driving around a spooky and mysterious Japanese town in a souped-out Kei truck is a surprising amount of fun. The business management is simple but deep enough to keep players engaged, and the gripping, mysterious story of the town will keep you engaged from start to finish.

Atomfall

8/10

Atomfall is an adventurous game that doesn't shy away from its difficulty. It's a compelling survival game steeped in mystery, and despite some unwieldly controls, paints an interesting world to explore around in.

Assassin's Creed Shadows

6.5/10

Assassin's Creed Shadows starts off strong with an interesting story and great core gameplay and combat. Unfortunately, Shadows ends up getting in its own way by delivering a compelling story, but not knowing when to trim the fat, a gorgeous overworld that overstays its welcome, and an equipment system that...

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land

5.5/10

Open world Atelier could still work, but Atelier Yumia does a bad job at realising this idea. A generic story, dumbed down alchemy, and lacking open world all lead to a middling RPG.

Wanderstop

8/10

Wanderstop is more a visual novel that uses making tea as a narrative break versus a shop management game.

Split Fiction

9/10

Split Fiction is one of the most ambitious games ever made. Despite its lofty goals, the team at Hazelight has put together a solid character narrative, with so many fun gameplay mechanics to help the protagonists on their big adventure.
