    The Bloober Team's latest outing is a trip to places of the past you might not choose to visit. But duty calls, and the Travellers must answer.

    Metal Eden's fast-paced gameplay loop and harrowing sci-fi setting serve as a solid backdrop for arena combat, but be prepared for a whole lot of talking.

    Rogue Factor's action-adventure succeeds in leading players through its brutal world without any guidance, despite some rough edges.

    Lost Soul Aside has the foundations of a great action game with strong combat, but those strengths are buried beneath an inconsequential story and noticeable polish issues.

    A decent action platformer bursting with nostalgia and charm, Space Adventure Cobra: The Awakening delivers a stylish retro ride.

    Between Dead Cells and other rogue-lites, The Rogue Prince of Persia may not hold hardcore fans over in the very long run. Nevertheless, its premise is incredibly solid, backed by strong gameplay that channels the essence of its gameplay in all the right ways.

    Gears of War: Reloaded is a great trip to the past for franchise veterans while newcomers will certainly enjoy its current-gen take on the adventure that started it all.

    Drag X Drive offers clever wheelchair basketball motion controls on Switch 2, but bland style and thin content keep it from being a true classic.

    Black Myth: Wukong works well on the Xbox, and is well worth the effort that Game Science has put into bringing it to the console. It's a game that has continued to remain relevant in the year since its release, and is probably going to be back in the news as soon as its rumored DLC becomes available to its players. It's worth every penny you pay for it, and it is definitely an experience that could remain among your favorites for a long time to come.

    While Midnight Murder Club has some clever ideas and decent core gameplay, the lack of a player base makes it more likely that the game will be killed off before it can recover.

    Channeling everything that made the classics great while enhancing with new mechanics, stunning visuals, and sublime controls, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is an incredible revival and stellar action side-scroller in its own right.

    Herdling continues Okamotive's reputation for unorthodox titles that resonate in unique ways. Desolate and survival-driven, yet warm and freeing, it's an adventure unlike any other despite the occasional hiccups.

    Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a faithful, gorgeous remake with modern polish, tighter gameplay, and fun extras.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Sengoku Dynasty is a game that could have, and dare I say should have, been so much more than it is. There's an inherent simplicity to its gameplay loop that lends it a sort of relaxing charm, but ultimately leads it to being an uninspiring take on an era in Japanese history that brings a lot of potential to the table.

    Sword of the Sea is like a siren - beautiful, inviting and great to listen to. Despite cutting through with an impeccable sense of style, the lack of a cohesive narrative and short runtime feels like you're treading water.

    Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition lives up to its title, delivering the best way to experience the classic RTS, even if it could use a bit more polish.

    Every mode, except Ultimate Team, has been enhanced with more engaging systems and streamlined features. The presentation feels livelier and more dynamic, with a welcome dose of college football DNA. Unfortunately, sluggish load times and a few poor interface choices continue to plague the yearly series.

    Echoes of the End offers an engaging couple of days of play, thanks to its well-paced mix of combat and puzzles.

    Senua's PS5 debut brings a lot of nifty improvements over the original release but suffers from the same limitations that held Hellblade II back from true greatness back in 2024.

    Although lacking replay value, The Old Country is well worth your time thanks to its storytelling chops, decent gameplay and excellent production values.

    Paying homage to the classics while simultaneously serving as a breath of fresh air, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound masterfully builds on the side-scrolling format of the older titles while adding its own twists.

    The amount of content, some presentation elements, performances and raid may provide enough sustenance for some, but for others, it only just edges above average.
