    Valkyria Chronicles Remastered
    A lack of a total visual overall barely detracts from the fact that Valkyria Chronicles Remastered is a total bargain, and the definitive version of the best in strategy.

    Pioneers of Pagonia
    Pioneers of Pagonia is not only one of the cutest, but also one of the most substantial city builders I have played—if you want it to be. Its endless content, ability to be as hands-on or hands-off as you’d like and its sliding difficulty make PoP one of my favourite games of 2025.

    Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition
    Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition is the best version of the best RPG of 2017. If you like these games and have a console you’d be a fool not to play it.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Elden Ring Nightreign: The Forsaken Hollows
    Elden Ring Nightreign The Forsaken Hollows knows its audience and is a near-perfect addition for fans of Soulslikes.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition
    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a must play title for any gamer, and the next gen upgrade is an excellent excuse to jump back into the bleak monster ridden world.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Rakuen
    Don't be fooled by its unassuming facade: Rakuen is a one-of-a-kind adventure that brings tears and smiles in equal measure.
    • 96 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Elden Ring
    Elden Ring is an epic. With a beautifully designed open world, FromSoftware takes the Souls formula to new heights and crafts a journey that needs to be played.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
    Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade makes a compelling case for the Switch 2's technical potential, and remains a must-play experience.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Xeodrifter
    Its retro inspired aesthetic and difficulty make it a blast for anyone who grew up playing Metroid, and its straight-up fun factor make it a great time for anyone else.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    God of War
    God of War was a big deal when it hit PS4 in 2018, and it still is in 2022 when it hits the PC.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors
    The Ninja Saviors – Return of the Warriors’ highly-aggressive play style makes all other beat ‘em ups seem slow by comparison.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Diablo II: Resurrected
    Even without the nostalgia creeping in, one can plainly see that this is a game for the ages. Cross-play would make this the perfect release for me, but even as is, I love this game.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Metroid Prime: Federation Force
    Metroid Prime: Federation Force is not only the best FPS on the 3DS, but perhaps one of my favorite FPS games ever.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Sid Meier's Civilization VI
    A visually resplendent strategy game that makes every turn feel important and every approach viable.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Apex Legends
    With a level of polish unseen in the genre, Apex Legends is the best battle royale ever made.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    RiME
    RiME is the rare game that balances its spectacle and whimsy with a dose of quiet humanity.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    SAROS
    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.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Gears of War 4
    This is the best entry in the series. While the campaign isn't my favourite it still has a lot of character, the graphics are unmatched, the new Horde mode is fantastic, and it is all around one heck of a good time.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    ARC Raiders
    Arc Raiders combines deep yet accessible mechanics with S-tier sci-fi world-building to deliver the best extraction shooter yet.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Neon White
    As suggested by its tagline, ‘made by freaks for freaks’, this game might not win you over if you are not already interested in speedrunning, puzzle-shooters and/or anime-inspired visual novels but, if you even slightly happen to be, Neon White is a bona-fide cult classic with a genre combination made in heaven.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Genital Jousting
    Genital Jousting is a pleasurably girthy package with loads of fun mini-games and a short, funny-yet-impactful story mode that dares to touch on subjects other games wouldn't dare that will surely arouse some controversy. No need to beat around the bush, this one is rock solid.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Monsters Are Coming! Rock & Road
    My only complaint about Monsters are Coming! Rock & Road is that there isn’t more of it, and for under $10, they have already provided dozens of hours of content. Addictive and replayable, with a killer soundtrack to go with it.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster: FF35th Anniversary Edition
    The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series triumphantly arrives on consoles as the ideal way to revisit a 35-year old franchise's origins—carefully balancing legacy with modern convenience.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Silent Hill f
    NeoBards Entertainment has taken bold risks with Silent Hill f, and the result is one of the most unsettling, personal and rewarding horror games in years.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
    Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree elevates the already stellar base game to new and challenging heights, adding a wellspring of content that cannot be missed, making it an essential must-play for all Elden Lords.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    WWE 2K26
    WWE 2K26 took an already great game and made it better in every way, with no definitive weak spots relative to the genre. They’ve added a lot with very little feeling like filler and brought back things that fans missed. It’s one of the best annual release games that I’ve had the pleasure of playing.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Layers of Fear (2015)
    Truly, Layers of Fear is a masterpiece to behold. Buy it. Play it. Buy it and have a friend play it while you watch if you’re faint-of-heart.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Okami HD
    Okami HD is a good action game, but it is a better game about how a dog can enhance a life. Ammy is a wonderful protagonist with a natural puppy charm, one who steals every scene with her playful yet serene expressions, and through her big heart improves the lives of those around her. She digs up the yard sometimes and barks a lot, but she means well, making the world a better, happier, brighter, and funnier place.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Quake II - Enhanced Edition
    While it may be missing the visual improvements that came with the RTX version of the game, the quality of life additions, amount of content, and jaw-dropping new campaign make this remaster a must-play for fans new and old.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
    Yakuza 6 has so much to offer and every moment of it is a joy, even if you can’t always read what they’re saying.

    • Critic Score
    Inkbound
    Inkbound fuses unique concepts together to create a good story and a better video game, a must-play for those looking for a new adventure. [Early Access Score = 80]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    Ranger's Path: National Park Simulator
    Ranger’s Path: National Park Simulator fundamentally works, even with some minor bugs and a lack of gameplay variety—the game has a lot of work to create the ultimate virtual park ranger experience. [Early Access Score = 65]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    Second Extinction
    Second Extinction disappoints as an unoriginal multiplayer dino shooter with an uneven difficulty, unbalanced weapons and mind-numbingly repetitive missions. [Early Access Review Score = 60]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    007 First Light
    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]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    inZOI
    As it stands, big caveats aside, inZOI is an interesting experiment but not one that I would readily recommend, at least not at the launch of Early Access. What is here is, again, intriguing, yes, but far from feature-complete and optimized for performance. [Pre-Early Access Impressions]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    SpellPunk VR
    SpellPunk VR’s magic fizzles out from barely-working controls and limited engagement to keep players coming back after the first time. [Early Access Score = 50]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    33 Immortals
    There is a certain sense of feeling like a wandering soul in 33 Immortals that the title captures in a way that I haven’t experienced in a game before, making the experience truly feel unique yet familiar within the roguelike genre. [Early Access Impressions]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    Masters of Albion
    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]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    Blightstone
    Blightstone brings a charming roguelike strategy game to the forefront of early access, an easy recommendation to fans of the genre. [Early Access Score = 80]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    Disney Dreamlight Valley
    Despite borrowing heavily from other life sims, Disney Dreamlight Valley feels unique and charming enough in its own right. However, the Switch version has some glaring pains at launch. [Early Access Score = 70]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    GALAHAD 3093
    The attention to customizability and accessibility of Galahad 3093 showcased how a mech-shooting game does not need to prioritize great graphics over a game playable for everyone. [Early Access Score = 70]
