    Mixtape is a greatest hits of gameplay, storytelling, music and animation. Its a true work of art that would be a crime not to experience.

    Europa Universalis V: Fate of the Phoenix is by no means essential to the enjoyment of this grand strategy game, but those with an interest in the Byzantine Empire in particular will be very pleased with what’s on offer in this Immersion Pack.

    While offering a decent parkour experience, the unique colossal world of MOTORSLICE is what really make it something special and worth a playthrough.

    inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories combines deceptively effective gameplay with some excellent storytelling for a captivating experience that will definitely make you a return customer.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City is a game where the effort is clear, yet as a whole, the game doesn't come together in a way that turtles should when fighting crime in VR.

    I did not know what to think when I first heard IOI was working on a James Bond game, but having played 007 First Light, I can think of no studio better for this. It nailed the experience and the tone, and used its expertise in a way that feels fresh, engaging and fun. The team knows what it is doing and has gone all out to build a game that is unmistakably James Bond while feeling like a natural evolution for the studio. [3-Hour Hands-On Impressions]

    Invincible VS blends the best parts of Marvel vs. Capcom, Mortal Kombat, Injustice and Killer Instinct into a wildly fun, gory 3v3 tag fighter that feels built for Invincible fans, newcomers, lapsed players and FGC pros alike.

    Aphelion isn’t a particularly bad game, but its gameplay and story are a little too safe to create an experience that is memorable.

    Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth is a short and sweet game that is beautiful to look at and play. The journey through Moominvalley and the characters you meet make the entire experience worth it.

    Much like the pottery it's based on, Kiln is a game that has some creativity but is pretty empty on the inside.

    Being fully immersed in a Little Nightmares space works great. The atmosphere does that heavy lifting, and some of the freakier drawn-out moments really stuck with me. It just feels like it stops short of doing something more with the idea.

    SAROS is head and shoulders above Returnal, which was already a stellar reinvention of the bullet-hell genre, thanks to a richer story, tougher enemies and gameplay systems that tailor the game to the player.

    The big differentiator in Masters of Albion is its focus on industry: the game is one part city-builder and one part god game, smashed together. [Early Access Impressions]

    Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta is a solid but somewhat bland port of a classic JRPG that feels right at home on the Nintendo Switch, warts and all.
    • 71 Metascore

    Tides of Tomorrow takes an engaging story and utilizes an unbelievably dynamic way of telling it that combines community with player choice for an experience like no other.

    With its sharp presentation, REPLACED will have you grappling with emotions, and it was well worth the wait.

    Hello Kitty Island Adventure's City Town DLC is a massive infusion of content, putting the "expansion" in "expansion pack."

    Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss has some interesting ideas, but it hides them behind poorly explained puzzles and deceptively linear design.

    Ground Zero is a bit of a weird one. On some levels, it works incredibly well, mostly in the nostalgic feel and wearing its inspirations on its sleeves. On the other hand, it sticks to them too much and doesn’t do anything interesting enough to stand out.

    Opus: Prism Peak is a remarkable narrative experience with a clear love of the art of photography and a genuine message to impart.

    While Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream offers a lot of the same fun and quirkiness as its predecessor, its commitment to player creativity also sacrifices a lot of what made the 3DS game great.

    We Gotta Go is a fun idea that has a lot of potential, but in its current state, feels a little too loose and runny to encourage repeat visits for solo players or friend groups.

    MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is an exceptional, hand-crafted FPS experience worth picking up today.

    Last Flag has many fun aspects to entertain players enough for a full weekend of gaming; however, it may be lacking the special sauce to ultimately click with enough of an audience to keep the live-service game running.

    Pragmata, with its marvellous merging of hacking, movement and gunplay, was a blast to play from start to finish. While the story stumbles a little in the early hours, it wasn’t enough to slow down what ended up being a great experience.

    Starfield on PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro offers new players a solid port of a great game made better with new content and QoL improvements across the board.

    Town of Zoz blends engaging combat, farming/cooking elements, with an interesting story that is easy to get sucked into.

    Legacy of Kain: Ascendance brings the beloved franchise back after over two decades as a flawed 2D experience reserved for fans of the franchise.

    KuloNiku: Bowl Up! contains many emotions, but is always an enchanting sight to watch and take in everything.

    Despite a few technical shortcomings, People of Note is a truly inventive game with a real sense of charm and a BANGING soundtrack.
