A solid Metroidvania in its own right with a uniquely gorgeous aesthetic, MIO: Memories in Orbit is marked by bizarre design choices and a lack of variety to combat.

Whatever this game attempts to do, others have already done, and done better. It would be a disappointing addition to the gaming libraries of most players, and it’s hard to believe a title could fall this flat in 2026. I wouldn’t recommend this even to someone who’s completely out of options; being bored with nothing to play is honestly preferable to experiencing this mess.

Ice-Pick Lodge's time-bending adventure of overcoming an outbreak is its most involving, deftly written and compelling adventure yet.

Bungie's live-service wonder isn't dead yet, but Renegades is more of a stabilizing addition rather than an infusion of fresh ideas.

The Forsaken Hollows is pretty much a given for any fan of Nightreign, even if the lack of new weapons stuns the replay value.

Sleep Awake is a solid game whose story, visuals, and audio design are excellent. The experience is going to have you invested in it from start to finish but isn't likely to have you returning back to it once you're done.

Red Dead Redemption's current-gen debut does a lot to improve on the original experience, but it isn't enough to make this one worthy of the systems it's running on. Although it is the definitive way to play the game, this is a title that deserved a full-fledged remake.

While still imperfect on PS5, MSFS 2024’s methodical simulation pushes even casual flyers toward piloting zenith.

While its story and characters aren't the most memorable, this prequel makes up for it with the combat and abject freedom.

Kirby Air Riders realizes the full potential of its predecessor, delivering a chaotic, colourful and vibrant experience that is not only overflowing with enough content to keep you hooked for dozens of hours, but is unique and enjoyable enough to make sure that you don’t question whether the time you’re clocking in is time well spent.

It may have some slight blemishes here and there, but if you’ve been looking for something to complement Absolum and deliver a more traditional retro arcade experience, this is it.
