John Carpenter's Toxic Commando doesn't break out so much as cater to the Left4Dead-leaning, even with its more open-ended approach and use of vehicles. It works more often than not - just don't expect it to aspire to much more.

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

World of Warcraft: Midnight is off to a fantastic start, with a campaign that, while uneven in places, ends on a strong note. Paired with an excellent new casual gameplay pillar in player housing, as well as more dungeons, delves, and class options, it already feels like a strong expansion.

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.

Though the studio has worked on simulation games before, Docked focuses entirely on one type of machine: cranes.

WWE 2K26 nails the theatrical chaos of wrestling inside the ring, even if many of its surrounding modes still feel sluggish and awkward.

Looking back once more on Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game, it's still incredible how it managed to deliver a great beat 'em up experience within the confines of its property. Scott Pilgrim EX can be fun, but it lacks that additional level of oomph that could see it stand side by side with the original, and that's without getting into all the ways it simply falls short as a video game.

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

Tales of Berseria Remastered makes this harrowing adventure much easier to experience, but it still doesn’t do enough to fix the issues that plagued the original release.

With potent scares and thrilling action, Resident Evil Requiem delivers a memorable experience that successfully combines the series’ action and horror sides, while also telling a compelling story that expands the Resident Evil mythos in fascinating ways.

Styx is back, as tenacious as ever, and his latest adventure aims to build on the best elements of the franchise’s predecessors.

Sons of Sparta delivers tight platforming and genuinely satisfying combat.

Avowed isn't trying to be the next big Obsidian title as much as an action RPG set in the Pillars universe - so it was a year ago, and it remains true today. You could do worse, especially on PS5 at this price, but think twice if story-telling and memorable characters are essential to the experience.

Fresh challenge systems and a slick new story make 91Act's rogue-lite that much more compelling, even if some aspects could be better.

Reanimal is exactly what you might expect from the original Little Nightmares team, and yet, wondrous in its own right. Like venturing down the rabbit hole of unrelenting terror, it's an experience that will stay with you long after the credits roll.

RIDE 6 is the motorcycling series at its most complete, where worthwhile onboarding, progression with momentum, and an overall passion for two-wheel machinery outshines uneven presentation and a festival setting which misses the mark.

Skip The 9th Charnel. It never does enough to feel genuinely fun, engaging, or immersive.

Romeo is a Dead Man has many fundamental issues, which is a shame because its sense of style and allure make for a uniquely surreal adventure.

Nioh 3 doesn’t settle for iterative improvements. Instead, it pulls together Team Ninja’s best mechanics from past entries, folds in welcome touches from its other games, and backs it all up with genuinely strong new additions that feel mechanically sound and consistently engaging.

Vampires: Bloodlord Rising promises survival crafting with a complete story and a strong focus on social interaction, but does it deliver? [Early Access Review]

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.
