    Fort Solis
    Though light on engaging gameplay mechanics (and gameplay in general), Fort Solis is an accomplished narrative experience. Boasting a compelling story, an atmospheric setting, and excellent acting performances, it's an accomplished first outing for indie studio Fallen Leaf.

    Zenless Zone Zero
    Zenless Zone Zero is a hack-and-slash extravaganza with stylish visuals.

    Valkyrie Elysium
    This entry to the Valkyrie series makes a graceful shift into the action RPG genre while only stumbling in a few small ways.

    Marathon
    Bungie delivers a compelling extraction shooter in a trippy new setting, though whether that will be enough remains to be seen.

    Jagged Alliance 3
    Jagged Alliance 3 successfully taps into everything that made the franchise great to begin with, giving us a unique blend of genres that mixes turn-based tactical gameplay with some light RPG elements.

    Moonscars
    That Moonscars is like so many other similar releases only serves to make its ability to differentiate itself and stand out that much more remarkable. A well accomplished title that is easily recommended to anyone with even a passing interest in the genre.

    Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection
    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.

    WWE 2K26
    WWE 2K26 nails the theatrical chaos of wrestling inside the ring, even if many of its surrounding modes still feel sluggish and awkward.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hot Wheels Unleashed
    Hot Wheels Unleashed is a bit light on level and event type variety but still delivers a great racer worthy of the Hot Wheels name with plenty of speed, detailed customization, and a meaty roster of fun vehicles.

    SIFU
    Despite a of couple hang-ups, Sifu should be commended for injecting a sense of danger and realism back into the beat ‘em up genre.

    Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok
    The new ideas Dawn of Ragnarök plays around with are fun, but it can’t fully flourish under the weight of inconsistent writing and janky combat.

    WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers
    While it doesn’t reinvent the Soulslike formula, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers executes the fundamentals with confidence.
    • 65 Metascore

    Deathbound
    Deathbound is a fresh new Souls-styled action RPG with rewarding combat that might have too steep of a learning curve for some players out there.

    Ghostrunner 2
    Ghostrunner 2 sticks to the fast-paced formula of "Live, die, repeat" while adding new mechanics, excellent levels and additions like the motorcycle. Some areas could use more polish, but as a whole, it's a futuristic rollercoaster from start to finish.

    Phantom Fury
    Phantom Fury is quite easily one of the most refined boomer shooters in the market today.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes
    There’s an immediate familiarity for House of Ashes in the Dark Pictures catalog, but this entry is as thematically complex and consequently engaging as any game in the series so far.

    Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin
    Fans and newcomers to the series, genre, or spin-off sub-series alike will find a lot to enjoy in Monster Hunter Stories 2, which, despite a few stumbles, presents one of the stronger RPG offerings on the Switch.

    Senua's Saga: Hellblade II
    Hellblade 2 sticks to what its predecessor was good at, delivering a technically, visually, and narratively impressive experience, even if it's one that feels a bit too familiar and straightforward from a gameplay perspective.

    Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles
    Demon Slayer - Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles is a surprisingly well done port of a pretty good game. Given all that The Hinokami Chronicles ends up accomplishing, hopefully this heralds the start of many more high quality games based on the IP to come.

    Aragami 2
    With improved traversal, map design, and an option for multiplayer, Aragami 2 stands tall as a stealth title that brings the genre’s strengths to the forefront.

    Crimson Desert
    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.

    Endling - Extinction is Forever
    Endling - Extinction is Forever is a harrowing and surprisingly affecting experience.

    Pioneers of Pagonia
    Pioneers of Pagonia has made several meaningful improvements since launching in Early Access nearly two years ago, and it’s now well worth your time.

    SteamWorld Build
    Whether you're a fan of the series or looking for a well-made city-builder, SteamWorld Build has much to offer, even with the odd annoyance or two.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Lost in Random: The Eternal Die
    In a world where rogue-lites are a dime a dozen, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die stands out with its Relics system, fun combat, and solid presentation. It's no Hades (and the similarities are too obvious to ignore), but it's still enjoyable in its own right.

    Need for Speed Unbound
    Need for Speed Unbound feels like a breath of fresh air. The arcade-style racing has seen quite a significant improvement from its predecessor, and the game’s general styles and sensibilities definitely make it one of the most unique-looking racing games out there.

    MLB The Show 24
    The Show succeeds in honoring baseball’s past despite marginal gameplay improvements.
    • 79 Metascore

    Once Upon a KATAMARI
    Once Upon A Katamari delivers an amazingly fun time. It may be derivative with its graphics and story, but the impressive level variety across nine eras and sheer wealth of content ensure fans and newcomers will be rolling until they're sick of smiling.
    • 76 Metascore

    Phasmophobia
    Kinetic Games' Phasmophobia is a surprisingly scary experience, solo and with friends, though several features - like the lobby browser - need more work.

    Tokyo Xtreme Racer
    Tokyo Xtreme Racer feels like an absolute blast from the past in terms of its gameplay mechanics, overall structure, and how it tells its campy story.
