Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake does a lot of things right in its effort to modernize a classic for a new generation of gamers. Its story is a highlight, while the revamped visuals and sound design really help sell the experience. It's a pity, then, that the revamped combat system feels so wildly imbalanced that it makes a crucial chunk of the game feel tedious rather than engaging. We'd recommend waiting for a few patches before taking this one on.- GamingBolt

F1 Manager is a nice collection of elements that most manager sim fans would want, but rarely feels like more than the sum of those parts.- GamingBolt

Europa is a peaceful experience while still managing to be a compelling 3D platformer in its own right. Despite the utter lack of any threat, it never stops being fun thanks to its gorgeous visuals and simple gameplay.- GamingBolt

Back 4 Blood wastes no time trying to divert your attention from its obvious influences, but it doesn’t need to when it nearly lives up to the expectations its spiritual predecessors set so high.- GamingBolt

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.- GamingBolt

While it does have its stumbles, Soul Hackers 2 is a stylish JRPG with an intriguing premise and a compelling cast, and a fantastic battle system that more than makes up for the flaws it does have.- GamingBolt

Some occasional technical issues and an unwillingness to truly burst out of the norms for the genre keep Darktide from reaching enormous heights, but within the confines it sets for itself, this is about as good as it gets.- GamingBolt

Princess Peach Showtime! is a fun, charming, and well made game. It has its issues, but very few that its intended audience will care about. Hopefully it gets a follow up that gets to iterate on the core ideas.- GamingBolt

Still Wakes the Deep doesn't fully realize the horrific potential of its intriguing setting, and some might find it to be a bit too light on gameplay, but thanks to an engaging story and gorgeous visuals, it's still a game worth playing.- GamingBolt

Sonic Colors largely holds up well, and Ultimate is a great way to return or introduce yourself to what is arguably the best designed 3D Sonic game so far.- GamingBolt

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.- GamingBolt
