    Invincible VS
    Invincible VS has the look and the soul of a great fighter, but the mechanics can't keep up. It nails the source material and features a deep, Killer Instinct-inspired combo engine, but the "finished" product feels unfinished. Between a hollow story mode, broken balancing, and a nearly unplayable online suite, it’s clear the game was released prematurely. It’s essentially an Early Access title in disguise; Until the developers fix the bugs and refine the core systems, it remains a diamond in the very rough.

    Screamer
    Screamer is chaotic in the best way, and it works. Arcade racing, cyberpunk cel-shaded visuals, anime flair, a wild story, and explosive car combat all collide to create one of the boldest reboots in years. If you want pure speed, nonstop action, and something that breaks the mold, Screamer delivers.

    PRAGMATA
    Capcom’s newest franchise, Pragmata, is a bold gamble that largely pays off, thanks in no small part to the power of the RE Engine and the studio’s proven talent. Set in a cold, dark sci-fi world, the game clearly draws inspiration from Dead Space while still striving to carve out its own identity through a memorable story, epic boss encounters, and strong character relationships. If you’re looking for a high-quality sci-fi action-adventure with an engaging narrative and top-tier visuals, Pragmata is well worth your time and money.

    Resident Evil Requiem
    Resident Evil Requiem confidently honours the franchise’s legacy by bringing Leon back into the spotlight while simultaneously laying the groundwork for its future with a compelling new character. Backed by a proven formula, a passionate fan base, and the ever-reliable RE Engine, the future of the Resident Evil franchise looks brighter than ever.

    REANIMAL
    Reanimal is a standout addition to the survival horror genre, building upon the successful foundation established by Little Nightmares while confidently carving out its own identity. By refining the tense atmosphere, environmental storytelling, and unsettling creature design that made its predecessor so memorable, it delivers a more focused and immersive experience. The result is not only a meaningful evolution of a proven formula, but also one of the most impressive indie releases of the year.

    Nioh 3
    Three decades in the making, Nioh 3 stands as the culmination of everything Team Ninja has learned over the past 30 years. Its vast, beautifully crafted world invites exploration and rewards curiosity at every turn, offering a wealth of discoveries and formidable foes that constantly test your skill. Nioh 3 is not only the strongest entry in the series to date, but also one of the finest action RPGs of its generation.

    Sleep Awake
    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.

    Octopath Traveler 0
    Octopath Traveler 0 is more than a spin-off or a nostalgic exercise; it is a deliberate attempt to redefine the series’ direction. By abandoning its familiar episodic structure in favour of a more focused narrative, the game signals a push toward greater maturity in the world of Orsterra, where heroes remain human before becoming legends. While not flawless, it serves as an important test for the franchise’s future, showing an apparent willingness to evolve. At its best, Octopath Traveler 0 offers a deep and engaging experience, skillfully blending tactical combat, gradual storytelling, and striking visual design.

    Goodnight Universe
    Goodnight Universe provides a short but memorable experience, wrapping up in about 4 hours while leaving a lasting impression. The game immerses players in the magical world of childhood, giving them powers they’ve likely always dreamed of. Its creativity and artistic design make it a title well worth experiencing.

    Monster Hunter Stories
    With the release of Stories on Xbox, Capcom has made it clear that this spin-off series is more than just a minor side project. 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.

    Silent Hill 2
    Despite the Series S’s limitations, Silent Hill 2 remains a valuable experience on Xbox’s current-gen systems. The Series X version matches the PS5 edition in quality and, with its more consistent frame rates, even outperforms it in certain scenarios. The Series S does show some weaknesses, but these stem naturally from the hardware constraints of this compact yet charming console. While it can’t present Silent Hill 2 in its most complete form, the experience remains smooth, with no noticeable frame-rate drops. All in all, the end of the game’s timed exclusivity and its availability on the Xbox ecosystem is a welcome development for horror fans.

    The Last Case of John Morley
    The Last Case of John Morley offers an engaging narrative and enjoyable puzzles. While technical graphics suffer from various bugs that could disrupt gameplay, crime fiction fans seeking a mystery should try this title.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 7
    Black Ops 7 delivers a rollercoaster ride of the franchise’s recent highs and lows. Without the campaign, it could almost be considered a strong addition to the series. But judging the story mode on its own paints a very different picture. Even with its weakest campaign to date, the game still offers enjoyable multiplayer and an excellent Zombies experience, leaving the overall product balanced right on the borderline. Activision’s willingness to listen to fans and adjust various aspects shows the team is moving in the right direction, if only the narrative hadn’t turned out so poorly.

    Anno 117: Pax Romana
    Anno 117: Pax Romana mixes the best of RTS design with the signature charm of the Anno series, resulting in a game that not only lives up to its name but also ranks among the finest city builders we’ve seen in years.

    ARC Raiders
    Arc Raiders proves that even in the most saturated markets, smart design and genuine respect for players can still shine. It goes head-to-head with giants like Battlefield 6 and Black Ops 7, and often comes out on top, thanks to its sharp core mechanics, punchy sound design, and nonstop excitement. For old-school shooter fans, Arc Raiders sure feels like an early Christmas gift.

    Once Upon a KATAMARI
    Once Upon a KATAMARI makes its long-awaited return, delivering the series’ trademark blend of simple yet addictive gameplay and quirky humor. Unfortunately, a few frustrating bugs also roll back in, but the game’s charm is hard to resist.

    Ninja Gaiden 4
    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!.

    Jurassic World Evolution 3
    Jurassic World Evolution 3 not only pushes the series forward but also shakes things up in the best way possible. It keeps the core mechanics fans love while removing some of the old restrictions, making the gameplay feel smoother and more natural. If you’re into management, construction, and seeing your park evolve over time, JWE 3 delivers plenty to enjoy. And while it still has a few technical hiccups, it’s an overall fun, unique, and satisfying experience for any park-building fan.

    Painkiller
    Considering the limited amount of content available at launch, it’s hard to justify a $40 price tag for Painkiller. That said, its core gameplay remains fun and engaging, and with future content, it has the potential to become a solid co-op action experience.

    Dispatch
    Overall, Dispatch delivers a gripping narrative experience with beautiful presentation and well-crafted dialogue choices. While it offers limited direct interaction, its storytelling depth more than makes up for it. For fans of dialogue-driven adventures, this is a must-play, and you’ll finish it with a genuinely satisfying feeling.

    Dreams of Another
    Dreams of Another offers a touching and thought-provoking narrative that invites players to reflect inwardly, exploring themes of identity, loss, and purpose. Yet despite its emotional depth and strong storytelling, its shortcomings as a game, particularly in core gameplay design and engagement, ultimately hold it back from reaching true greatness.

    EA Sports FC 26
    Overcoming the shortcomings of its last two installments, FC 26 stands out as one of the finest football simulations in recent years. The new Authentic Mode delivers the most realistic football experience the series has ever achieved, while Competitive Mode continues to cater to players who prefer a faster, more arcade-style approach. After years of refinement, the FC series is finally reclaiming its crown, and FC 26 marks a major step forward on that journey.

    Hades II
    Few developers can take an already near-perfect game and craft a sequel that surpasses it, but Supergiant Games is one of the rare exceptions. Hades was almost flawless, and Hades II feels like “flawless plus.” It builds on the original’s foundation with precision and purpose, expanding only where it truly counts, and delivers one of the finest roguelike experiences ever made, without the need to reinvent the wheel.

    Little Nightmares III
    Packed with clever platforming puzzles, refined combat, and the long-awaited return of co-op mode, Little Nightmares 3 stands as every bit as captivating as its predecessors, if not better. Supermassive Games has crafted a worthy successor that both honors and expands upon this beloved franchise.

    Dying Light: The Beast
    The Dying Light series has never positioned itself as a top-tier, award-winning franchise, but it consistently delivers what matters most: entertainment. The Beast builds on that legacy with a relentless mix of high-octane action, visceral violence, and a menagerie of zombies and monsters. Its immersive universe and finely tuned gameplay mechanics ensure that fans of the genre will find plenty to sink their teeth into.

    Borderlands 4
    Borderlands 4’s reveal raised high expectations for meaningful evolution, as fans anticipated Gearbox would break away from familiar missteps. Instead, the game sticks to an outdated formula, offering little more than a recycled structure and a story that quickly fades from memory. The gunplay remains exhilarating, packed with the series’ trademark chaos and energy, ensuring the action itself is still a blast. Yet beyond that surface-level thrill, the game feels reluctant to innovate, leaving Borderlands 4 as a solid but uninspired entry that entertains in the short term but does little to secure the franchise’s long-term future.

    Frostpunk 2
    After a long wait, Frostpunk 2 has finally made its way to consoles, and it proves to be well worth it. While the strategy genre has traditionally drawn a smaller audience on consoles, Frostpunk 2 delivers an engrossing survival experience that is more than capable of keeping players engaged for countless hours.

    Hollow Knight: Silksong
    Hollow Knight: Silksong is nothing short of a masterpiece. After eight years of development, it delivers an experience worthy of the wait, featuring breathtaking music, thrilling boss encounters, diverse gameplay systems, and a striking art style that is destined to be remembered for years to come. Every area feels alive with detail, every fight demands precision, and every discovery pushes you deeper into its hauntingly beautiful world. Once in a decade, a game emerges that pushes an entire genre forward, and Silksong is unquestionably one of those rare titles.

    Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree
    Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree is an exciting roguelite action game filled with flashy spells, sword combos, and diverse characters brought to life with strong voice acting. Its colorful maps and fast-paced battles are enjoyable, but the game clearly isn’t built for two players; most mechanics fall on one person, leaving the other with little to do. Heavy reliance on luck and random card draws, along with a confusing upgrade system, hold it back. In the end, it’s a fast and stylish single-player roguelite that struggles to leave a lasting impression.

    Silent Hill f
    Silent Hill f boldly carries the franchise outside the familiar town and into a haunting new environment, one that drips with atmosphere and constantly keeps you on edge. The game masterfully blends unsettling visuals with disturbing sound design, crafting a world that feels alive with menace at every turn. Its puzzles are smartly designed, striking the right balance between challenge and accessibility, while its chilling secrets encourage exploration and reward curiosity with moments of genuine dread. More than just another sequel, Silent Hill f feels like a reinvention, an experience that reminds players why the series became synonymous with psychological horror in the first place.
