    Necromunda: Hired Gun wisely aims high but ultimately flubs the execution on too many fronts to warrant a universal recommendation, but for the most hardcore Warhammer or first-person shooter fans it may be worth a look for the amusing marriage of its ideas.

    A game that gets more frustrating the longer it trudges on.

    Sacred 2: Remastered doesn’t do enough to make revisiting the original on current-gen consoles worthwhile.

    Simply put, LEGO Brawls is a disappointing game.

    The unwavering cheerfulness that permeates every ounce of Balan Wonderworld can’t overcome the shallow gameplay and questionable design choices that come every step of the way.

    La Quimera feels like an ambitious game that was let down by time constraints during development. While there are bones of a good game in there, the general lack of quality in most of its aspects make it difficult to recommend.

    You can finish Evil Inside in one sitting, in less than an hour, and that combined with the fact that none of what it does is worth a lot of praise means that spending money on the game isn't something that anyone should do.

    Despite having an interesting story concept, Quantum Error's underwhelming gameplay, terrible cinematics and horrendous voice acting drag down what could have potentially been a great horror experience.

    MindsEye is an excellent example of style over substance, a game that falls apart the moment you start playing.

    Remothered: Broken Porcelain fails at most things it sets out to do. Its story is a convoluted and incomprehensible mess, its gameplay is bland and boring and let down by poor AI, and all of its technical issues only make things worse. If there are any redeeming qualities here, they’re not good enough to make up for all the ways the game keeps finding to frustrate its players. Investing time in it makes about as much sense as its name.

    You might want to play CrossfireX to understand what’s so popular around the world or have a dash of mindless fun in the campaign, but there’s little else here.

    PlayMagic's XIII may get better after several patches, but right now it's a broken, buggy mess that plays like a generic shooter and looks worse than the 2003 original. If you really want to play XIII, go play that instead.

    Flashback 2 could have channeled the first game's spirit while presenting a new spin on the action. It fails spectacularly, lacking polish and nearly any redeeming qualities.

    Like Gollum’s war within, this stealth platformer struggles with its own identity while offering a thoughtful tale concerning the mind and travels of its protagonist.

    Despite some impressive visuals via Unreal Engine 5, Stray Souls feels utterly uninspired with awful story-telling and laughable horror.

    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.

    This is one otherworldly gaming experience with interesting ideas, but wholly horrendous execution.

    Skull Island: Rise of Kong, more than anything else, feels like a hollow attempt at cashing in on the Kong brand.

    Supercross 4 is as big of an improvement that we’ve gotten in the genre for a while, but that’s not saying much. A good amount of content and some new ideas round things out nicely, though.

    RiMS Racing makes an honorable attempt at raising the bar for customization but it comes at the cost of nearly everything else.

    With The Virtuous Cycle, Mortal Shell tosses its hat into the roguelite ring, and while it’s a great reason to come back for more Mortal Shell, its slow progression and lack of clear direction make it less of a fulfilling experience than the main campaign.

    Life is Strange: True Color's well written cast and rich setting help make it easily one of the strongest outings this franchise has had.

    Subdivision Infinity DX may be worth a try for fans of space combat games, but stumbles out the gate with zero controller customization options and a padded out progression system.

    Straddling a fine line between tradition and modernization, Beyond a Steel Sky is a worthy follow up to the original that manages to create a compelling tale for fans of the 1994 classic and newcomers starting with this game alike.

    MXGP 2021 is more of the same from Milestone’s marquee motocross experience.

    Assetto Corsa Competizione is a game made only for those seeking a full, unquestioned simulation, and its inconsistencies and lack of structure leave little room for error and a lot of room for frustration, even with the upgraded performance on the new consoles.

    The Serpent Rogue is a curious roguelike survival game with a few addicting elements on offer under its hazy exterior.

    I found myself more enamored with the idea of playing Source of Madness than I did with the game itself.

    Roller Champions loses its momentum too fast, but provides great bursts of genuine fun along the way.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    While it lacks some polish here and there, and its main story leaves a lot to be desired, the pure absurdity behind Metal Max Xeno Reborn helps make it greater than the sum of its parts. The vehicular combat is fun, and the optional boss fights are an all-round great time.
