I accepted the story has its flaws and focused on its good parts, without paying much attention to the monotonous gameplay and overstuffed world. It’s a fun ride if you don’t take it too seriously, especially since the game itself doesn’t do that. But I won’t return to it until new content becomes available, and surely wouldn’t buy it for its full price.

Quidditch Champions feels like an incomplete game that should’ve been part of something larger, and maybe that’s because Quidditch is the one key feature Hogwarts Legacy is missing. The latter can stand on its own without it, but I’m unsure whether Quidditch Champions can, too.

South Park: Snow Day! delivers a trademark experience in an action-filled package and lays a solid foundation for further action-oriented games in the series. Once you enter the 3D world of Snow Day, you won't want to leave until you've finished the story.

Skull and Bones has tight ship play and immersive naval exploration,making it a memorable addition to the pirate genre catalog. While certain gameplay mechanics didn’t pan out well, and the characters largely fell flat, the pirate fantasy on the high seas is still very much alive and well in Skull and Bones.

I wanted to love Cursed Clash as a big fan of the franchise, but it feels rushed, like something to capitalize on the Jujutsu Kaisen hype rather than making a gaming debut that the franchise deserved and something to stand the test of time. It’s not a bad game, but it could use work. Unless you’re a diehard Jujutsu Kaisen fan, you won’t be satisfied paying full price for Cursed Clash, so for many, this might be one to revisit when it appears on sale down the line.

Lightyear Frontier might feel familiar at first, but make no mistake—this isn’t your average farming sim, and your massive Mech friend is determined to prove it. Whether it’s successful, though, I’m unsure. [Early Access Score = 50]
