    Bleak Faith: Forsaken
    Despite its many flaws, starting with the ladder climbing and descending and ending with the worst jumping mechanic of any Souls title, Archangel Studios is constantly updating and improving the title so that fans can have a smoother experience when diving into the Omnistructure. However, if you have never played a Souls title before, this should not be your first. The Omnistructure is a maze of paths that feel far too similar, and this can turn players away from the genre entirely. All in all, Bleak Faith: Forsaken is a solid title and a must-try for the Souls faithful.

    Fobia - St. Dinfna Hotel
    Fobia - St. Dinfna Hotel delivers a great story and innovative concept, but poor combat, cumbersome inventory, and gameplay holds it back from being a great indie horror entry.

    MotoGP 24
    Moto GP 24 caters to an audience of motorcycle enthusiasts and not much else, a game that can be skipped for people not into motorbikes.

    Baby Steps
    Baby Steps, no pun intended, seems like a step backwards for Bennett Foddy and team. Losing the battle between fun and frustrating, frustrating and annoying, always wins when it comes to Baby Steps.

    WWE 2K17
    WWE 2K17 is fun. But much like a loved one who has a substance abuse problem, I know it could be better, and I want it to be better, but it keeps messing up.

    Star Wars Battlefront
    Star Wars Battlefront fails to match the ambitions of its visuals with equally as impressive gunplay, leaving it in the awkward position of looking amazing while also being rather boring.

    Persona 4: Dancing All Night
    The game makes such a point to establish itself as a tangential side story to the franchise that I have trouble recommending it to even the most avid of Persona collectors.

    Earthlock
    Earthlock is a good game, locked behind a lack of polish.

    Crime O'Clock
    Crime O'Clock is best served for those looking to play a fancier rendition of Where's Waldo? as the gameplay loop doesn't do well outside of those mechanics and it really shines in its point-and-click, hidden object approach.

    Another Lost Phone: Laura's Story
    Another Lost Phone: Laura’s Story is the very essence of a visual novel. There isn’t a great deal of gameplay to be had, but the story and the way it tells it goes above and beyond to make it a worthwhile experience.

    Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections
    Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is another derivate ink stroke on the never-ending ninja scroll that makes up the Ultimate Ninja Storm series.

    RemiLore: Lost Girl in the Lands of Lore
    RemiLore gets the mechanics for a fun dungeon crawler down, but does little to hold a player’s attention.

    Moroi
    Moroi has a genuinely unique aesthetic and a distinct sense of atmosphere, but little else going for it.

    Nintendo Labo: Toycon 02 Robot Kit
    The Nintendo Labo Robot Kit is disappointing. While I absolutely adored the in-depth build and the creativity behind the Toy-Con Garage, the actual gameplay included in this $100 package simply isn’t worth the price of admission.

    Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition
    Alien Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition is a tepid but well-written downgrade over its otherwise atmospheric VR release, sporting minimal graphical upgrades over its 2024 counterpart.

    Eldegarde
    Eldegarde has an interesting idea with its MMORPG styled Extraction game, but is a bit too mundane to stay with for too long.

    Marvel's Iron Man VR
    Marvel's Iron Man VR is a decent game, but one that will only likely appeal to a younger audience or die-hard fans of the property.

    Catherine: Full Body
    Catherine: Full Body has more interesting things to say about relationships that are dragged down by a story too cynical to let it shine.

    The Dark Eye : Book of Heroes
    The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes is a game that in many ways, takes the essence of a good table-top game and directly translates it into a competent, online dungeon-crawling RPG.

    Trash Goblin
    Trash Goblin has the foundation for a genuine cozy game, but implements half-hearted sim elements for an experience that never feels as satisfying as it could.

    Guardians Frontline
    Guardians Frontline might drown in a sea of generic sci-fi games and desperately needs more development, but cleverly uses VR to blend real time strategy with fun boots-on-the-ground action.

    MADiSON
    Unfortunately, the scariest thing about MADiSON on the Nintendo Switch is its poor performance which mars an otherwise adequate port of a solid horror title.

    Warriors: Abyss
    Warriors: Abyss can provide a fun experience for the Warriors die-hards, but could be skipped by everyone else.

    Yono and the Celestial Elephants
    Yono and the Celestial Elephants is an adorable Zelda-like about a woke elephant doing his best to help people, zombies, and robots co-exist.

    DreamWorks Dragons: Legends of the Nine Realms
    Dragons: Legends of the Nine Realms isn’t much to write home about, but it offers young fans a slightly more substantial experience than most of its mobile peers without overwhelming them.

    A.I.L.A
    A.I.L.A told a predictable yet relevant story, but flew a little too close to the sun by implementing too many good features versus narrowing on making a few outstanding moments.

    Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game
    Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game takes a good premise from a bad movie and makes it into a mediocre game.

    Layers of Fear 2
    Layers of Fear 2 is striking in its unsettling places, but is a looser experience than its predecessor, losing the player with busywork puzzles and winding corridors.

    Samurai Warriors 4-II
    Samurai Warriors 4-II isn’t a horrible game by any means, but the game just doesn’t quite entice the gamers of today to venture through its trials.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny
    Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny has some promise with its stacked cast of characters but never pulls the idea off. Middling gameplay, poor visuals, and mediocre writing really hold it back.
