    NieR Replicant’s upgrades put it nearly on par with NieR: Automata, and while it doesn’t live up to the tight package Automata provided, it’s a great addition for anyone who missed it the first time around.

    Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a delightful platformer that mostly does a great job despite playing a bit too easy most of the time.

    Two Point Campus is a great management sim that manages to be quite deep, without adding unnecessary complexity, and its main campaign makes for a fun tutorial, and the writing is downright hilarious. The only real downside is that it doesn’t really do much new if you’ve already played Two Point Hospital.

    Despite some strong new content, Falcom's enhanced version of the 2024 action RPG still falls short of the series' best.

    With engaging battles, a captivating story, excellent world-building, and interesting choices with actual weight and consequences, Triangle Strategy is an absolute gem that far exceeds all expectations.

    As unfathomably vast and boundless as the subject matter it covers, Starfield raises the bar for its genre and for the medium as a whole in countless ways.

    Sony San Diego plays it relatively safe with its flagship baseball series but offers new Storylines and modes with the same solid gameplay.

    It's impossible to know how an expansion will turn out at release, but an interesting story, gorgeous visuals and audio, a great leveling experience, and good endgame mean Shadowlands is off to a good start.

    Two Point Museum takes the challenge of Hospital and the customization within Campus to make a smooth and satisfying museum sim experience.

    While retaining the same fundamental gameplay, Wishfully's gorgeous sequel improves on the original in almost every single way.

    By rebuilding and streamlining the classic adventure, Reimagined stands as one of the series’ strongest entries.

    From the presentation and controls to the core gameplay focus, The Game Bakers' survival climbing game is absolutely incredible.

    The Plucky Squire is charming, offering an involving story and enjoyable gameplay with unique hooks, even if it takes some time to open up.

    Marvel’s Midnight Suns, unfortunately, is one of those games that I can only recommend if you’re willing to stick around its noticeable issues. As it currently stands, the game has the foundations for a phenomenal turn-based strategy game, and the gameplay variety offered by the different heroes you can play is a lot of fun. The writing and story, however, are not good reasons to play this game.

    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.

    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.

    Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO isn't perfect, with Episode Battle falling somewhat short in its ambitions, but it's an excellent recreation of the series' power fantasy.

    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.

    Ghostwire: Tokyo is an intriguing gameplay experience, one that is marred by simplistic combat and repetitive mechanics.

    Helldivers 2 is essentially the first game, except bigger, louder and more epic in scale. Despite issues with matchmaking and some desperately needed quality-of-life, it's enjoyably engaging.

    The latest DLC for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 takes a more concentrated approach, centering on crafting while telling its own story.

    The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Reverie is the epilogue players deserve after Cold Steel 4. It's a strong send-off for many of its characters and sets up the future well, even with its flaws.
