It's rare for a game to deliver the same mind-blowing impact two decades apart, but The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered pulls it off effortlessly. While the core gameplay remains unchanged, it's just as engaging and relevant in 2025 as in 2006—proof of how ahead of its time Oblivion truly was. The visuals, however, have been completely overhauled with Unreal Engine 5, giving the game a stunning new identity that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the best of the current ninth-generation titles. Oblivion is how you make a game, and Oblivion Remastered is how you remaster it.

The gameplay mechanics and Switch capabilities are a royal match, and the addition of all the expansion packs in a package that costs only 15 dollars, makes it a title you want to have on your portable console.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a respectable effort in the survival horror genre and does a great job of implementing the same feel and atmosphere that made the movie series successful into a video game, using high-quality lighting and sound effects. On the other hand, however, the original story and characters of the game don't feel as fresh or as engaging when compared to the movies and the cut-scenes lack the quality you'd expect.

Considering IO Interactive’s plans for Hitman reboot from day one, Hitman 2 is more like a second season for the 2016 title rather than a new Hitman experience. If you accept this fact, and if you liked the 2016 title, then you’ll enjoy Hitman 2, as it’ll present you with tons of freedom within very well-designed levels.

As the industry shifts more and more towards mediocre service-based AAA games, the value of traditional AA games is becoming more and more obvious, and Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is a prime example of that.

Bringing these two remastered entries to the platform is meant to familiarize Xbox players, especially JRPG enthusiasts and fans of the Monster Hunter universe, with Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection. This could be the moment when the series evolves into something akin to Pokémon, a continually expanding and evergreen franchise. Each new creature added to the mainline games can become a fresh Monstie in Stories, giving the series the potential to grow into a self-sustaining ecosystem of its own.

Playing the games that you have a lot of memories with is always fun, especially if it's with upgraded visuals.

Final Fantasy VIII Remastered is a battle against time. Story is surely great, and we love all the characters, and a lot of nostalgia is there for the die hard fans of the series, but on the other side, the visuals and gameplay mechanics are dated and can't be compared with even mediocre 8th gen titles. In the end, FFVIIIR is nothing more than a game built to take full advantage of the hype set by FFVIIR.

Dynasty Warriors: Origin offers thrilling gameplay, wild combos, and massive-scale battles that define the series. However, the game's incomplete story is a noticeable blemish.

Mutant Year Zero is built especially for Turn-Based fans, and if you are one, you should play it.

DiRT Rally 2.0 aims for professional racing players, and gives them everything they want. DiRT 2.0's gameplay is ultra realistic and Codemasters paid a good attention to all the details. All that said, it seems that Codemasters is running out of ideas and while DiRT 2.0 is a solid racing game, there is not much that we haven't already saw in previous entries in the series.

Lovecraft works. If you can skip past some of the game's shortcomings, you'll get to experience something that you never did before.

9 years in development and expectations were high when Owlboy came out; and it didn’t disappoint. While gameplay is very classic and simple and story doesn’t have lots to say, visuals and music are where the game really shines. Easily one of the best platformers of the year, if not ever.

The Origami King is the best entry in the Paper Mario series, and probably one of the best Nintendo Switch exclusives if we don't consider its rather weak combat system.

Years after the release of the first Ninja Gaiden game, it's core gameplay mechanisms and level design still seem fresh and satisfying.

Jagged Alliance: Rage is yet another release that uses the Jagged Alliance name but fails to deliver.

As an AA title, The Last Case of Benedict Fox offers a lot of value, and its inclusion in Microsoft Game Pass makes it available to a wider range of audience. It may not revolutionize the Metroidvania genre, but creates a lot of potential for future games to take advantage of.

Whether you are a fan of the Yakuza series or you are really into Samurais, Like a Dragon: Ishin! won't disappoint you.

Over a decade after the last mainline entry, Ninja Gaiden returns, this time infused with PlatinumGames’ unmistakable style. The result is a game packed with fast-paced, over-the-top action that’s undeniably fun, but it often feels more like Bayonetta than Ninja Gaiden. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though it might not be exactly what longtime fans were hoping for. Oh, and yes, the camera issues are still hanging around!.

Just Dance 2019 might not be considered as a video game by a great many, but in a friends gathering or a family reunion, one the most fun things to do is playing Just Dance. Due to weak controls and lack of any tutorial, Just Dance can never be a good dance teacher, but if you are professional dancer, then it is the real deal for you.

Maybe the gameplay is not challenging enough for a point and click adventure, but the engaging story and the way the developers are telling it, gives you enough reasons to try it out.

Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse seems like a masterpiece that should have released 2 or 3 generations ago, as its visuals are dated and its control mechanisms is something that we don’t see anymore these days. But on the plus side it offers a mysterious world and atmosphere, a great sense of fear and a solid story. Just the like the old days.

Although Days Gone is suffering from tons of technical issues and, of course, unbelievably weak AI, it still manages to make up for them by offering solid, diverse gameplay, wonderful atmosphere and world design, and great music and sound design. Let's just hope that Sony gives Bend Studio another chance.

Judging SLEEP AWAKE mainly comes down to what you expect from it. Those searching for a horror action game built around complex mechanics, demanding combat, or deep stealth systems are likely to be left unsatisfied. SLEEP AWAKE is not interested in traditional gameplay conventions; instead, it positions itself as an interactive experience—one that prioritizes atmosphere and audiovisual expression over mechanical depth.

Atelier Ryza 2 doesn't have the perfect rhythm, but is almost exactly what you'd expect from a game in Atelier series, and a JRPG in general. Atelier Ryza 2 builds on the series core elements and improves them at the same time, and is a great choice for both the fans of the series and the fans of JRPG genre.

BEST MONTH EVER is not only a game, but it’s also an experience that can teach us a thing or two about the troubles of our societies.

Indika tells a unique story about the fear and horror of 19th century Russia ruled by radical religious, and does its best to push the boundaries of an indie game and reach new heights, although it comes up short here and there, it’s still a one of a kind experience that shouldn’t be missed.

Valhalla once again proves that ubisoft's chosen path for Assassin's Creed may not be appealing to the old fans of the series, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, as the series have developed into a solid RPG franchise. Still, Valhalla shows that the series is still far from completion, as there are several obvious shortcomings in combat gameplay and AI, along with some visual problems.

There aren't much changes in the latest entry in 2K's NBA series, and it seems that the developers are finally out of ideas, at least for this generation.

Still Wakes the Deep excels when it comes to storytelling and atmosphere, but things stop there as there isn't much room for excitement in gameplay department. With that being said, if you are a fan of psychological thrillers you will probably still enjoy it although it won't be one of the best you ever played.

We. The Revolution is an entertaining and unique experience, and if not for some shortcomings in the final act and some bad design decisions, it could have easily reached its full potential.

When it comes to feeling like being a Vampire, Vampyr really shines. Story is great and NPCs play a huge role in gameplay.

Frontiers of Pandora is yet another classic Ubisoft game; it offers great visuals and tons of content and activities but lacks innovation and variety, making it a mediocre experience that some will love, but some will walk away from after a few hours.

God's Trigger is like if Quentin Tarantino adapted a Garth Ennis comic book and turned everything up to eleven. The story may not be that interesting and the music could've been better but the action is all that matters here and it's great. Playing the game on co-op is an absolute chaos and we loved every second of it.
