    Hollow Knight: Silksong takes the masterclass design of its predecessor and elevates it to set a new gold standard in Metroid-like design.

    Helldivers 2 on Xbox Series X|S is a strong port that finally lets Xbox players enjoy the acclaimed co-op shooter—and a long-overdue taste of LiberTEA.

    Metal Eden takes all the style and substance of Ruiner and brings to the table a fun and challenging first-person shooter.

    Cronos: The New Dawn isn’t perfect, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s a beautiful, brutal survival horror game that doesn’t always land narratively but really sticks to its guns and lands where it matters most. It’s bleak, it’s relentless, and it really sticks with you.

    Despite not living up to its full potential on Switch 2, Daemon X Machina is still an incredibly fast-paced and fun action RPG.

    • 85 Critic Score
    Hell Is Us is a darkly engaging adventure puzzle game that blends the uncanny character vibes of David Lynch with exploration elements found in Fromsoftware games without its punishing difficulty.

    Super Robot Wars Y is another solid entry into the series that brings several exciting new properties that fans of the series will appreciate.

    Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is not only a stellar remake of its DS counterpart, it may be the best entry in the series to date.

    Kirby and the Forgotten Land's Switch 2 Edition is the best paid upgrade yet, and a worthy addition to one of the Switch's finest platformers.

    Gears of War: Reloaded is a great way to experience the original Gears game with a friend if neither of you has played it before. Otherwise, it is notable to see a flagship Xbox title on PlayStation, but the gameplay feels especially clunky in 2025.

    Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is an excellent 2D action platformer, and is a must play for fans of ninjas, action titles, or fans that want a great game for half price.

    Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater is a safe but faithful remake and the perfect entry point for newcomers or those wanting to relive the exploits of Naked Snake in a brand new light.

    The Rogue Prince of Persia is a platforming masterclass, and it’s a must play for fans of 2D action titles, Dead Cells, and pretty much everyone else.

    Herdling is a captivating, albeit flawed experience that never has any low points, but never hits any genuine highs either.
    • 66 Metascore

    Echoes of the End brought everything that a AA-title needs, narrative-driven and showed a keen attention to environmental design.

    OFF
    OFF isn’t for everyone, but it’s a must play if you’re not everyone, and fans of Undertale must try this game.

    EA Sports Madden NFL 26 is the most complete, authentic and rewarding entry the series has seen in years.

    Drag x Drive is a novel take on wheelchair basketball, one that takes full advantage of the Joy-Con 2 controllers. While limited by an overall lack of content, the game still creates a good foundation for the future.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Abyssus is an excellent, fast and frenetic roguelike FPS that you can play with your friends, and a must-play for fans of the genre.
    • 73 Metascore

    Mafia: The Old Country is the textbook definition of fine, which is a shame because the first game was such a stark contrast to anything that had come out at the time and had so many unique ideas. For this sequel to come out and do little else than push the boundaries of visual hardware is genuinely disappointing. Like I said, the story is definitely worth experiencing, but the game isn’t going to be remembered.

    9 Years of Shadows is a solid 2D action-adventure title that is very pretty to look at, and could be recommended to those who don’t focus on combat.

    Achilles: Survivor is a welcome addition to the Roguelike Bullet Hell genre and provides a unique and exciting experience for players.

    Despite a lack of scares, Static Dread: The Lighthouse combines an engaging gameplay hook with a compelling narrative to keep players invested right up to the end.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a good continuation adaptation of the anime. While it doesn’t do much to set itself apart from the first game, the almost quality-of-life changes make it feel like a justified experience.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Dead Take has got some great atmosphere, wonderful voice acting, and a real creepy story, slightly hampered by simple puzzles and an over-use of jumpscares.
    • 79 Metascore

    Hello Kitty Island Adventure remains one of the more charming cozy games out there, and may find a snug home with PS5 owners.

    Ritual of Raven combines the fundamentals of farming with the language of coding for an incredibly wholesome and engaging experience.

    Wildgate is as chaotic as it is focused and consistently an engaging and fun experience.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Edge of Fate accomplishes its unenviable task and lays down some solid foundations. In the process, it also taps into some aspects of the Guardian experience that have long been ignored, and brings back some of that retro-futuristic aesthetic that made the first game so curious—an encouraging omen as the game embarks into this new territory. Let’s just hope we all get to Bungie’s destination in one piece and see what fruit it bears.
