    SpiritSphere
    SpiritSphere is a fun game with a few missteps. The unpredictable difficulty and lack of online multiplayer can be extremely frustrating when other aspects are so fun.

    Outcast: A New Beginning
    Outcast - A New Beginning will certainly please fans of the original, but its lack of anything unique and somewhat outdated gameplay may not impress others.

    Persona 3 Reload - Episode Aigis: The Answer
    Episode Aigis is nearly a 1:1 remake of the Answer, completing the Persona 3 experience, but one that comes at an exorbitant cost to the fans.

    SaGa Frontier Remastered
    SaGa Frontier Remastered is often too obtuse for its own good, but behind it all is a unique and captivating RPG that benefits greatly from quality-of-life improvements and restored content cut from its original release.

    Pokemon Brilliant Diamond
    Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl show that not all remakes are worth playing if you have the originals on hand.

    Let It Die
    Let It Die is an ambitious game that threatens to charm players, but ultimately falls short due to unpolished gameplay, repetitious level design, and some really awful freemium schemes.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Senran Kagura: Estival Versus
    On one hand I had a lot of fun, but on the other, there are some serious questions about the sexual objectification of the characters, and where the line is drawn between fun and overkill.

    Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions
    Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a solid return to the Quidditch pitch and is a must try for fans of the overarching series.

    Detective Pikachu Returns
    Detective Pikachu Returns may not be the most puzzling of adventures, but it's fun and charming enough to stay engaging.

    Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion
    Turok 3: Shadows of Oblivion Remastered is fine enough, but lacks the updates and charm of its predecessors.

    The Song of Seven: Chapter One
    The Song of Seven Chapter One delivers a fun, though flawed adventure game.

    GNOG
    With just a handful of puzzles it'll also be over in no time, so it's best if you just take your time and take in all of the sights and sounds while you can.

    Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster
    There’s no denying the quality of FFX, as it’s often hailed by some as the last “good” JRPG Square Enix has made in the last 15 years, but there’s already a much cheaper, slightly blurrier version of this compilation out there on the PS3.

    Leaving Lyndow
    Leaving Lyndow is a beautiful experience in a fascinating world, but may be more of a 45-minute-long commercial for the upcoming Eastshade than an actual game.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Game of Thrones: Kingsroad
    Game of Thrones: Kingsroad does a good job of recreating the world beloved by many, and letting us live in it. But the microtransactions really make it feel like Netmarble doesn’t respect the players' time.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Death's Gambit: Afterlife
    I cannot deny that Death’s Gambit Afterlife is a well made, well executed game, but it genuinely isn’t for me.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Code Vein II
    Code Vein II builds meaningfully on the original, with stronger companions, more flexible builds, and a story that feels more involved, even when it leans hard into melodrama.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    SD Gundam Battle Alliance
    SD Gundam Battle Alliance is a delightful love letter to the Gundam universe, but newcomers can feel isolated by the sheer and confusing context the title is derived from.
    • 75 Metascore

    Sorcerer King
    The fiendishly nerdy control over all the little details can be very rewarding; it’s just a shame that I’ve yet to find a middle-ground the game’s balance of power.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Redfall
    Redfall is an entertaining, albeit shallow, romp in the FPS genre solo or with a team. Though PC seems to be performing less than favourably and next-gen consoles aren’t being pushed to their true capabilities, the game remains functional, fun and occasionally frightening.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Unravel Two
    Unravel Two is a clever and endearing take on the original’s formula, but doesn’t come through on its cooperative premise.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Songbringer
    Songbringer is a randomly generated top-down Zelda-like that has a surprisingly cohesive story and may be worth a play if you can snag it on sale.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Romancing SaGa 2
    Romancing SaGa 2 is an alluring blend of esoteric and impenetrable that is as vexing as it is fascinating.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Bendy and the Dark Revival
    Bendy and the Dark Revival drowns in its own basic black and white design for survival horror, but manages to amaze players with a more confident sequel to a unique nightmarish satire on all things Disney.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Sucker for Love: Date to Die For
    Sucker for Love: Date to Die For was short, a little broken, but ultimately engaging and relatable. Just like my love life.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Timelie
    Short but challenging, Timelie is an inventive take on the stealth puzzle genre which lets players literally take their time in finding solutions.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Carrion
    Carrion is a very cool concept held back by frustrating map design and repetitive combat.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Party Animals
    Party Animals is a chaotic online game with adorable furry animals punching and wielding weapons to compete in challenges but suffers from being repetitive and maps dragging on.

    Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash
    I enjoyed playing Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash but I wouldn’t recommend it over any of the more traditional entries in the series. The game does well as a first attempt at a new genre but it takes away too much of what makes each of the characters unique in anyway aside from voiced lines. The forced grinding can also be a drag for a lot of people, especially if you’re hoping to stand a chance online. Despite this, its quick paced gameplay is fun in short bursts and if you’re familiar with the characters, Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash is essentially an excuse to literally see more of them.
