    Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is an excellent remake of an excellent game with enough modern additions to make it feel fresh and new.

    Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 starts incredibly strong in the first half, but after certain revelations, the story speeds up to a point where the conclusion feels rushed and half-baked.

    System Shock returns in 2024 as a premiere FPS narrative experience that shocks the player with each step. An easy recommendation for First-Person fans.

    What the Fog is a fun game that is a draw for Dead By Daylight completionists with the characters and the fact that it is free for Behaviour Interactive account holders. Sadly, its lack of depth and promise of no further content will leave those who have to buy the game questioning whether to spend the money, no matter how little money it is.

    I really wanted to like Die By The Blade, but clunky controls, half-baked gameplay and a lack of content make this less a Dual of Fates and more a battle of attrition.

    Men of War II stuck to its nostalgic roots too closely, failing to bring anything new—other than cleaning up its clunky interface from previous games.

    Though updated ever-so-slightly, Biomutant remains the same unenjoyable game I played back in 2021. This mutant REALLY should have stayed in the Ooze.

    Dread Delusion is a fun romp in a fleshed-out world, definitely worth undertaking for the meagre price of admission.

    Even after six years, Sea Of Thieves remains a great time with friends, and now, with the PlayStation 5 port, even more friends can join in the hilariously fun high sea adventures.

    Remnant II: The Forgotten Kingdom is a solid entry into the Remnant franchise with fresh and unique ways to play thanks to the Invoker archetype and a host of new weapons, time and mods. Priced at USD $9.99, it’s worth picking up if you are a fan of the franchise.

    Phantom Fury feels like stepping back in time to the late 90s in an explosion of pixilated carnage that only occasionally stumbles due to its unwavering reliance on old-school sensibilities.
