    Naiad is an immersive and accessible adventure that’s unabashedly sweet and delightfully simple.

    Home Sports is a less-than-stellar attempt at bringing a compilation of sports into a single package. Between no replay value, bigger game area requirements and some funky physics, it’s safe to say to skip this one.

    Morkull Ragast’s Rage wants desperately to be Hollow Knight but is ultimately unfun and unfinished.

    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]

    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]

    The Renovator: Origins is as bargain basement as they come for horror games that aren’t remotely scary. I’d be more upset if it wasn’t so commonplace.

    Chains of Freedom is too caught up in its own macho army aesthetic to really have a connection with the player. Otherwise, it’s a half-decent tactics game.

    Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate takes the solid foundation of a Beat ‘Em Up and applies 2D Fighter controls to it for a fast, arcade-style action that’s impossible to put down.

    GORN 2 is a must-play VR title and has been pulling me back into the VR medium. Between hilarious combat and a weird story, GORN 2 is incredible.

    If you’re already into puzzle-heavy VR titles and can overlook a few technical frustrations, there’s definitely fun to be had with House of Da Vinci VR. It’s not quite on the level of The Room VR or I Expect You To Die, but it’s close enough to be worth checking out, especially for that hands-on, mechanical puzzle feel that this series does so well.

    Wall Town Wonders VR successfully relocates its mixed-reality experience into a more traditional feeling VR game that manages to keep the essence of the original release for a new player base to get lost in.

    Stellaris: Biogenesis is a deep dive into the series' DNA, allowing players to mutate its most basic mechanics. The Evolutionary Predators Origin alone offers endless space for creative strategy and engrossing role-playing. Dense but original, it's a welcome addition to the libraries of returning fans and new players alike.

    Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Daima Adventures Through The Demon Realm - Part 1 is another solid piece of downloadable content for Kakarot, one that captures the essence of the latest series, making it worthy of a look for fans of the Daima anime.

    Dragon Song Tavern: Cozy & Adventurous has a few good ideas, but they’re marred significantly by some amateurish game design.

    Super Mario Galaxy is now readily available for all to enjoy, free from its 2020 limited compilation release, made better on Switch 2 with improved controls and graphics.

    Super Mario Galaxy 2 heralds the return of the Nintendo Wii's best game, improved to a dazzling starry shine on the Nintendo Switch 2 platform.

    Overcooked 2 is an essential party game, now made worthwhile on the Nintendo Switch 2 with a version of the game that matches the quality of its other releases on more powerful hardware. If you’ve never experienced the popular party game, Overcooked 2 is an essential must-play for co-op gamers and those looking for a sure-fire party hit.

    Ambrosia Sky has an interesting narrative, but squanders it with dull gameplay and amateur storytelling. [Part One review]

    Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons Battlemarked is an excellent onboarding ramp for tabletop roleplaying, and is an easy recommendation for players looking to jump into a new story.

    Wishblossom Ranch shakes up Disney Dreamlight Valley with its invaluable Mounts, while only addressing one or two of the overall game's major flaws.

    Bluey’s Quest for the Gold Pen doesn’t get away from its roots to focus on being a game, and that’s exactly why it works. It’s a tiny burst of playful charm that understands the vibe of the phenomenon that is Bluey.

    Little Rocket Lab combines engaging, methodical Factory Sim elements with cozy farming sim aesthetics for an incredibly satisfying experience.

    Heartopia has some interesting ideas, but ends up feeling pretty shallow and largely forgettable.

    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]

    Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven is an all-around excellent addition to the game, and provides hours and hours of quality gameplay.

    Neva: Prologue is a compelling, short-but-sweet postgame add-on, revisiting almost everything that made the main game special.

    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]

    The Coin Game has some deceptively addictive gameplay, especially for those trying to scratch that arcade itch.

    Between the art style and easy pick-up-and-play gameplay, Modulus: Factory Automation was a heavenly automation simulator.

    • 65 Critic Score
    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.
