NBA 2K26 was a welcome relief after the game I played last year, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It's difficult to ignore the constant intrusion of microtransactions, which have been unavoidable for years, especially in a game sold at such a high price. However, the game has improved and improved in many areas. The visuals are impressive, the gameplay is smoother, shooting is improved, MyCareer mode is good, MyTeam is richer and more accessible with the WNBA, and The City is more compact and engaging. It's not a perfect basketball game, but it's easily the best one released in recent years.

As short as Tales of Kenzera is, it meaningfully addresses what players need to encounter.
