    BrokenLore: FOLLOW is a great addition to the horror genre, and a fairly entertaining game, provided you can ignore its flaws that could derail your experience.

    EA Sports UFC 6 does many things right, delivering what you’d expect from it. But as a title meant to advance the franchise, it stumbles too often to truly stand out.

    Cloud and co.’s sophomore Switch 2 outing comes with some obvious technical cutbacks, but manages to retain its charms nonetheless.

    The 7th Guest Remake is a fantastic way to experience the 1993 classic without having to worry about the original’s absurd puzzle design. Its engaging story, fun characters, and compelling gameplay loop will also keep you stuck to the screen.

    F1 25: 2026 Season Pack is a well-executed evolution which mirrors the sport’s real-life regulation changes, improving the experience but not radically changing it.

    Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a lovely, very unique, very delightful platformer, and I sincerely hope it represents the future direction for the series.

    Mina the Hollower isn't perfect or even close to it, and given expectations following Shovel Knight, that's kind of disappointing for me. Nevertheless, it's still a very good old-school action-adventure with strong combat fundamentals and undeniable charm.

    James Bond is back, bringing all his signature style, spy skills, and one-liners to the table. It goes without saying that we love this new outing for the super spy.

    WILL: Follow the Light tells a simple story of a man trying to look for his son after a massive storm, and along the way, has to confront the mysteries of his own life. The intimate nature of the core premise is compelling enough to carry this walking simulator throughout its entire runtime.

    Directive 8020 imbues every interaction in trust and paranoia, delivering emotional turbulence and atmospheric dread that’s only overshadowed by inconsistent mechanics.

    Invincible VS will be immediately satisfying for the casual crowd, but it also brings genuine competitive potential through its hidden mechanical complexity.

    DarkSwitch represents a new, fresh take on a genre that largely focuses on a flat 2-dimensional axis. Fans of the city-building genre, as well as newcomers, will find plenty to enjoy here.

    Housemarque strikes gold once more, building on Returnal's foundation to deliver a rogue-lite/bullet hell title unlike any other.

    The Cosmic Abyss has enough variety to make the runtime never feel overly long, and the optionality within each chapter provides a significant amount of replay value.

    Cliches and homages abound in MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, and it gleefully embraces them while offering a compelling detective mystery wrought with over-the-top violence and a cast that's having the time of their lives.

    For those who enjoyed the first game but always felt it could have been so much more, Regions of Ruin: Runegate is an improvement on every single level, and a compelling game in its own right.

    It has been a long time coming, yes, but it’s fair to say that Pragmata is worth the wait.

    Starfield lands on PS5 close to three years on from its original release, and delivers its most polished and packed version to date. Though it’s unlikely to convert past skeptics, for sci-fi RPG fans on PS5, it’s well worth a look nonetheless.

    Clover Bite is back with a bang, and Grime 2 is a worthy sequel to the original title thanks to some great gameplay and excellent designs.

    Unorthodox controls, surprising mechanical depth, and on-track carnage underscore this narrative-heavy racer out of Milestone’s leftfield.

    Crimson Desert is as expansive as promised, dwarfing pretty much every other open world currently with its scale. Its content doesn't always stick the landing, but the combat shines, and the sense of discovery is hard to deny, even with the lackluster story.

    Ghost of Yōtei: Legends doesn't significantly reinvent the gameplay loop present in Tsushima: Legends, instead offering new mechanics and mission types to go with a familiar gear grind. Despite some difficulty pains, it works very well and serves as a strong foundation for what's to come.

    Monster Hunter Stories 3 isn’t exactly where I’d want the series to be just yet - but it’s very nearly there, and I think, for many, this will be one of the most satisfying monster collection RPGs on the market at the moment.
