The story of the game is a mediocre story, the gameplay is very enjoyable and attractive, in terms of visuals, it is equal to Cross Gen 2023 games and has a stunning visual, the main boss fights are very similar to each other. The sound design of the game is wonderful, the enemies have a good variety and only one new type of enemy has been added to the remake compared to the original version.

A brilliant dissection of the emotional baggage that comes with time travel. Old Skies showcases excellent writing and a handful of clever gameplay moments, even if it leans on time loops a bit much.

In the era of debate of what is a remaster and what is a remake, Days Gone Remastered does exactly what the title says. New modes such as the horde assault add variety and difficulty and the great accessibility additions contribute to an already strong package. The visuals and audio were already brilliant but the improvements to these departments help solidify their greatness. The story remains exactly as before, warts and all and still is divisive to this day, but to me, it’s a great adventure that tries to tell an intimate story in a vast and daunting world. Hopefully one day, Sony will greenlight a sequel, but for now and to me, this remains Sony’s most underrated game. See you on the open road!

"Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip” is a delightful and engaging collect-a-thon that combines humour, charming graphics, and enjoyable gameplay. Its unique premise and well-executed dialogue make it a standout title. Whether you’re a fan of quirky adventures or just looking for a fun and heart-warming game, “Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip” is a must-play.

This is a real-time combat genre-defining piece and deserves a lot of praise from gamers. There is no need to go into the nitty gritty because, in the end, only one thing matters. Veritus is a beautiful Pixel-art game with very fun Action- RPG/ puzzle elements and I recommend it.

I have waited for years in hope of TopSpin returning in all its glory and boy, has it delivered! A deep and robust career mode and an addictive online serving of tennis really make this game special. Coupled with gorgeous visuals and stunning sound design, this is the quintessential tennis video game. Some wonky currency issues and at times grindy levelling can hinder the experience slightly, but overall this game has reinvigorated my love for tennis in the real world and in the gaming arena. I’ll see you on the court!

To sum up, Directive 8020 is a brilliant new step in the Dark Pictures Anthology. It is a chilling, haunting sci fi horror mystery, with great twist and turns. Refined and polished gameplay and awe inspiring visuals help make this title the best in the series to date. Supermassive are the kings of the interactive horror genre and despite the short length and lack of shared story, this is my favourite entry in the series.

Monster Hunter Wilds isn’t just another entry in the franchise—it’s an evolution. It embraces the core identity of the series while pushing boundaries in ways that keep veterans engaged and newcomers welcomed. Every hunt is an adventure, every battle a test of skill, and every moment in the world a story waiting to unfold. While the difficulty may not be as punishing as past entries, the fluid combat, stunning world, and refined mechanics make it a joy to play.

Brutal, exciting and slightly unsettling, the second jaunt into Blasphemous' idiosyncratic world has tightened up the gameplay. The platforming is improved and the combat is fast and frantic. Best of all, it's still dripping with the religious themes of penance and guilt, which makes the world as fascinating as it is disturbing.

Neva is a practically perfect indie title! Every aspect of this game will impress you. The visuals are fantastic and the audio is wonderfully atmospheric. Accordingly, this is a must-play game! The only downside is the relatively linear action.

Star Trek: Resurgence is a love letter to the franchise. This narrative adventure game feels like a movie or a series of the long-running franchise with new characters, new issues and the same heart. The story carries it, and it’s as good as some of Star Trek’s best. If it wasn’t for the occasional bug, this would have been a perfect game.

Batman: Arkham Shadow is an exceptional VR experience. The captivating world and brilliant story sucks you in. Moreover, the VR mechanics are seamless and I lost hours in the grim and dangerous world. The only shortcomings were some minor bugs and glitches. However, this shouldn't put you off.

Lies of P: Overture is a dark, challenging prequel DLC that dives deeper into the twisted world of Krat. With 6–8 hours of new content, it offers fresh environments, inventive boss fights, and meaningful lore expansion without radically changing the gameplay. While it doesn’t reinvent the base game, it delivers a focused, atmospheric experience that fans will appreciate. It's a must-play for returning players who want more from the Lies of P universe, though newcomers may find it dense and unforgiving.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake is a stunning game that can be enjoyed by lovers of the original and newcomers. The story is captivating and you will adore the fantasy edge. Additionally, it never outstays its welcome. If I were to be picky, the puzzles are occasionally too easy.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is an incredible action-adventure title. This much-anticipated sequel arrives on Next Gen consoles, PC, and Switch Digital only. However, gamers on these machines will adore the brutal and sombre journey they'll experience. It retains many much-loved mechanics but evolves miles beyond my wildest expectations. Accordingly, this latest instalment blew my mind, and I can't stop raving about it.

Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan is an important game for all ages. Now more than ever, we need to be accepting of everyone, because we’re all human and this game does a stellar job of highlighting that. With a charming world, enchanting characters, and a thoughtful message, you’ll find plenty to enjoy in this game.

In conclusion, Boxes: Lost Fragments offers a polished and engaging puzzle experience. The game’s stunning visuals, immersive atmosphere, and cleverly designed puzzles offer a satisfying challenge for players of all experience levels. Despite its short playtime, this is a game that delivers a rewarding and immersive experience for those looking for a touch of mystery and a good mental workout.

All in all, Synergy is a breath of fresh air in the city-building genre. It doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel entirely, but the way it rethinks environmental interaction and research injects a surprising amount of life into the experience. It’s not just about expanding — it’s about learning, respecting, and coexisting with your environment. The sense of discovery and stewardship that comes from studying the land around you is unlike anything else in the genre right now. If you’re a fan of city builders and looking for something that challenges you to think differently about how you manage your resources and surroundings, Synergy is absolutely worth your time.

Until Dawn is one of my favourite games of all time and thankfully Ballistic Moon have managed to craft a remake that keeps everything I love so dearly about the original. Great story additions add to an already brilliant horror tale, whilst small but impactful gameplay additions help keep the game fresh. Stunning visuals and voice work remain, along with strong sound design and score. It’s just a shame framerate issues take away from overall presentation and a truly baffling decision by Sony to price this game as a full price AAA game will stop old and new players from enjoying this seminal tale. But for me, this remains the king of narrative horror. See you at dawn!

Like its sprawling mansion, Blue Prince is loaded with secrets, beautifully organic puzzles and hidden emotional depth, making each run a mysterious treat.

As I start playing the game, its engaging experience brings surprise to me. Do not be fooled by its casual-like appearance as it does requires some thinking to do. It’s wrong to think planting down the tiles without concerning the consequences will fills in all the gap. In my humble opinion, it’s not just about fill in the gap. It’s about trying my best in evolving the terrains into populated lands and working my best to counter the cataclysms with my technology. In overall, I recommend to give this game a try if players want to try a beginner level city building simulator genre.

A wonderfully written examination of what on earth it means to be an adult. Gameplay and art both feed back into the central themes, creating a heartfelt story, with a dash of pretentiousness.

Life is Strange has always been a game which focuses on story and Reunion nails this with an emotional tale of friendship, loss, guilt and death. Coupled with stunning visuals, industry leading facial animations and a killer soundtrack, Deck Nine have done it again. I sincerely hope this is not the end of the series overall. Life is Strange will stay with me forever.

Aquamarine is a delightful time. Calm, beautiful and compelling, it’s the perfect way to calm down and switch off after a long day at work, like a hot bath or a cold beer. There is so much going for the game that I’ve not mentioned here: Cindy’s brilliant narration, random risk-reward choices, the adorable seal monsters and so much more. If you like survival games but wish they were fun, Aquamarine might be worth a fair chunk of your time.

Overall, Silent Hill f is one of the more memorable horror games of late. The presentation; the visuals, the sound, the atmosphere is exceptional. I absolutely loved the theme and how it’s delivered through every layer of the game. The sense of dread, the uncanny familiarity of the town, the way memories twist. It’s horror that stays with you.

As it is a version of the director’s cut, old fans will enjoy hearing previously unused dialogue and formerly removed scenes, including ones that feature poor Stobbard’s untimely demise. Reforged is definitely worth your while.

Pine Hearts is much more than just a puzzle game; it’s a therapeutic little retreat. It’s a beautifully crafted experience built around the simple, universal themes of family, memory, and finding peace in the past. If you are looking for a game with high-octane action, this might not be your cup of tea. But if you are seeking a wonderfully cozy, low-stress adventure that respects your time and fills your heart with warmth, the Android version of Pine Hearts is an absolute must-download. The charming pixel art, and the gentle narrative structure make it one of the best cozy games I’ve played on a mobile device this year. I highly recommend taking a trip back to the caravan park, it’s a journey you won’t soon forget.

The campaign is worth playing through at least once, but if you just want to play the game for the music, the visuals, and the gameplay, then you can also just chill in the Freeplay mode for eternity. Whatever might be your case, if you’ve read this far, I’m sure that you’ll deeply enjoy it. If you’re not really sure if it’s your thing, you can always try the game out through the PC Game Pass and buy it later if you want to support the developers, and I believe that they definitely deserve that support. Safe shipbreaking cutters!

Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium is nothing but a game that is completely full of classics, 32 total. So there are no worries you can enjoy all the faves in one game and try playing against others or the computer; AI. It’s simple to just step up to an arcade machine, which they really appear as, and just start playing. So never be fooled, even playing old games aren’t as easy as it may seem. Back then they took a lot of time to defeat and there were patterns and ways to do certain tricks to win and defeat the opponents so they can win the game. So right now there is nothing different, just plenty of challenging gameplay that will make you work harder and become a better fighter, racer and so much more with all these games. That is why I love this game collection!

MLB The Show 24 is a great baseball simulator that has a very enjoyable gameplay that does not have annoying bugs and can entertain you for a long time with its various game modes. Visually it’s just fine but it could have been better. If you want to play a baseball simulator for the first time, this game is the best choice.

I often bemoan barebone re-releases as quick cash-ins from publishers trying to revitalize their IP with minimal effort, and while Persona 4 Arena Ultimax does fit that criteria (as the DLC and Japanese audio were already technically available), in all honesty, it was already an excellent 2D fighting package that didn’t need improving. And with rollback netcode on the horizon to give the game more of a modern relevancy, there’s never been a better opportunity to jump in.

Sumerian Six is a fantastic addition to the genre. The stealth elements, sci-fi moments, storytelling, and complex missions are fascinating. Despite the annoying sound bites, this is an incredible game.

If you are looking for a game that will have you engaged for hours through combat, keeping your attention with new objectives to take on, and plenty of ways to play then you must check this game out! Any Sniper fans who have tried the others in the series will find this game to be just as great or even better. The experience is something, unlike anything else I’ve played before! Truly an amazing game!

Train Sim World 4 (Deluxe Edition) is a phenomenal example of a simulation game. With fantastic graphics, awesome audio, and deep gameplay, this is the best train driving title yet. However, if you don't love trains, you'll probably find it to be slow and tedious.

Train Sim World 5 is a fantastic simulation experience. The incredible tutorial will get you up and running in no time. Alternatively, if you are familiar with the franchise, you can pick up where you left off. The inclusion of major new features improves the already reliable and strong foundations. If you want to drive a train or sell tickets, then this is the game for you.

I had an incredible experience with this game, one that will remain in my SSD when i feel like jumping around. Between the multiple difficulty settings and the relentless pursuit of a perfect run, it’s insanely replayable. The level creator is the icing on the cake, giving you the possibility of craft your own stages, then dive into the wild creations of the community. There’s always something new to conquer.

If you’re looking for a game that balances action with moments of thoughtful puzzle-solving, KAKU: Ancient Seal is well worth your time. It’s a journey that, much like its art style, feels like a warm, playful nod to the past while carving out its own space in the present.

While there are several hiccups, it is hard to imagine a 3D platformer not having them anyhow. Also, there are two potential endings you can receive. One is a miraculous finale against fate, and the other has the crew succumbing to a bitter end. So, be wise players. Guayota is a monstrous entity to behold.

With the addictiveness of a beat ’em up, great visuals and fun RPG upgrades, Lost Epic is a 2D action game that reaches the hallowed and revered heights that many an action game would wish to reach, with a core mechanic so pure and refined that you can’t help but admire it.

Balatro is a fantastic rogue-like deck-builder. Additionally, the random nature of each round keeps you on your toes. However, it is pretty unforgiving and the repetitive nature of the core concept may put some gamers off.

Planet Zoo is the ultimate Simulator game; incredible visuals, sleek menus and design, with a thoughtful story that keeps you engaged the whole time. Authentic animals and locations, coupled with depth that is unrivalled in this genre, Planet Zoo is a beautiful and memorising experience. Great variety in game modes and a truly unique online experience help keep this game refreshing and exciting no matter how much you play. It’s a testament to Frontier that I cannot wait to go back into my zoo and continue to innovate and create my ultimate sanctuary for the animals. A simulator game for the whole Animal Kingdom.

Between Horizons is a noirish detective game set on a starship on a mission to found a new colony. With tight game mechanics, excellent writing, and a superb soundtrack, this is a story well worth your time. Just remember that you’ll need to put your thinking cap on to solve some of the games trickier cases.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a wonderful addition to the LEGO games and the Star Wars franchise. It is hilarious, challenging, and in-depth. Furthermore, it's a treat for fans of the series, but equally as great for others. On top of this, it is accessible to players of all ages.

Layers of Fear (2023) is a fantastic remake of a much-loved series. Built using Unreal Engine 5, you'll enjoy Ray Tracing, HDR, and 4K resolution. Furthermore, every game in the series runs chronologically to create a seamless and cruel experience.

If you thrive on deep combat systems, layered progression, and high difficulty, this is easily one of Team Ninja’s most refined efforts. For me, it’s a game I admire as much as I wrestle with. But there is enough there to to make want to go for 100%.

It’s super fun, relaxing, at times stressful but at the end of the day super entertaining and rewarding. I give it a 9/10. The only real issue was that the game was so good that the story couldn’t keep me compelled enough to pay attention. But it barely caused any problems to my overall enjoyment!

Second Sun is a Hi-octane FPS with RPG elements, set in an open world, filled with intriguing landmarks, procedurally generated dungeons and tons of loot! Explore a vast, picturesque map and use your abilities to save the Empire from devastation and prevent the world from falling into darkness.

DOG WITCH is a roguelike deckbuilding game of dice that offers strategic planning and a challenge. Developed by Heckmouse and published by Mystic Forge, the game features over 150 unique items and various witch hats to don, allowing for a different experience with each run. After customizing your pup, you will face off against a wacky cast of enemies, such as gun wielding nesting dolls and a triangle trio, as you make your way to confront the evil wizard who calls you a bad dog. With six different die faces in quick, snappy combat, its important to create an evolving strategy and have a bit of RNG luck too. DOG WITCH is a game that will having you barking up all the right trees, offering an enjoyable experience to dog-loving players everywhere!

Cult of the Lamb is an incredible rogue-lite title. What's more, it is jam-packed with content and is addictive as hell. Though there are reports of glitches and bugs, I fortunately never experienced any. Consequently, it excelled in many elements and I loved it.

It’s one of those games that after you complete it, you can still return and experience it over and over, without it ever getting dull or feeling a shortage of brilliance.

If you’re a fan of JRPGs then you will really enjoy Live a Live. Full of comedy, action, and adventure across multiple time periods Live a Live is overall a solid game. Sure, some cutscenes drag out. Some of that RPG grind is tedious but it’s still a must-play entry into the genre.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is an incredible action-adventure title that is touching and beautiful to look at. Furthermore, the combat is slick; the landscapes are fascinating and the level design is amazing. However, minor performance issues taint the finished product.

Wavetale is an astonishingly charming game with movement controls and visuals like nothing I've experienced. It's a joyful 3D platforming experience, if not a little short.

This game took my expectations and flipped them all upside down with ease. From the music to the characters, the gameplay, the design of the world, and its wonderfully weird aesthetic. I really did not expect to enjoy the game as much as I did, and I can easily recommend it.

If you enjoy detective stories, narrative-driven games, or mysteries that reward careful thinking under pressure, this game is shaping up to be a compelling experience. Clue: Murder By Death understands the appeal of a good mystery and respects the player’s ability to solve it. Placing strict limits on time and information, it creates a sense of urgency that makes every choice feel meaningful. It is not about finding every answer, but about finding the right one before time runs out.

Brotato is an exceptional arena-based rogue-like shooter. This fast-paced and aggressive game will get under your skin and make you swear! With addictive gameplay and simple controls, this is hard to put down and easy to learn. Yet, it'll take plenty of practice and effort to master this deep and fulfilling indie title.

Siren's Rest DLC is a fantastic addition to the base game. If you have Game Pass, you can play the original as part of the subscription service. This additional content is both creepy and uncomfortable, yet wonderfully captivating. If you love the original, you'll adore this!

This game came as a brilliant surprise full of interesting twists, engaging dialogue, and a dark plot. I cannot recommend this title enough.

Its lively graphics, addictive gameplay loop, engaging multiplayer mode, and excellent audio presentation provide hours of charming chaos. Whether you’re a fan of strategy games, a casual gamer looking for something fun and accessible, or simply seeking a fresh and quirky game to unwind with, Mini City: Mayhem is undoubtedly worth your time and attention.

Overall I think Reigns:The Witcher combines the two franchises extremely well. Having minimal experience with Reigns before, this title makes me want to re-visit their other titles, and a must try for fans of either. The characters, the world and the music fit the gameplay and the humour perfectly. Strong recommend, especially on handheld devices such as the switch or mobile phones.

Hollowbody is more than just a nod to classic horror; it combines storytelling, atmosphere, and gameplay in a way that appeals to both newcomers and long-time fans. If you’re looking for a gripping horror experience that keeps you on your toes, this is a game you shouldn’t miss.

Harmony: The Fall of Reverie is a stunning visual novel. With multiple storylines and 6 aspirations, there is plenty to see and do. Furthermore, aesthetically it is stunning. If you haven't experienced this genre before, then this is a great place to start.

DeadCore Redux doesn’t chase trends. It doesn’t bloat itself with systems or dilute its identity. Instead, it doubles down on what it does best: pure, demanding first-person platforming with a razor-sharp focus on movement. And all that in a very affordable package. It’s a game about learning how to navigate it, and then how to navigate it faster. When everything finally clicks, when you clear a section flawlessly, it feels incredible. Highly recommended for players who love challenge, flow, and the quiet thrill of doing something difficult well.

Bogos Binted is a collection of wonderfully simple card games. Not all of them are hits, but it kept us laughing for hours regardless. Great fun for when you have half-an-hour or so to spare.

Unreal Life is an absolute triumph when it comes to atmosphere and non-linear storytelling. The game’s impressive pixel design, loveable cast of characters and simple gameplay loop all work in conjunction to provide a thoroughly satisfying experience. Yes, sometimes the game’s puzzles felt a tad obtuse and the gameplay isn’t anything special, but these minor gripes didn’t take away from the absolute joy I had on this emotional journey with Hal and my new favourite talking traffic light.

Toads of the Bayou is visually charming and, thankfully, it has the gameplay chops to back it up. There might be a few quirks that need ironing out, but it's a gameplay loop that's equal parts simple and thoughtful.

All in all, Eyes of War brings a fun spin to the RTS genre with its seamless blend of strategy and action. The ability to jump into the shoes of any soldier mid-battle is something you don’t see every day, and it spices up the experience. Sure, the lack of a story mode and matchmaking can be a bit of a bummer, but if you’re into the tactical side of things and love getting your hands dirty in the heat of battle, there’s still a lot to enjoy here. It’s got its quirks, but Eyes of War deserves a spot on your radar.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a fantastic open-world adventure with a compelling story. Moreover, it is filled with intriguing quests and a fantastic world to explore. Additionally, learning new skills and discovering interesting animals and plants is fascinating. However, the monstrously large open world can be overwhelming.

This game is very nicely designed and the puzzles are challenging, requiring sometimes a few mistakes till you get them right. However, I love the use of logic when it comes to solving puzzles than playing a game to defeat enemies. Additionally, the sea-like background music, 3D graphics, and cute characters all play a great part in the game and it all just works! So if it’s solving puzzles under the sea where it’s lit up with plenty of bright-neon style lights and this cute bioluminescence style creature, well this is a fun game to wrap one’s mind around and be absolutely entertained with the lights.

Football Manager 2024 Console edition is a phenomenal addition to this much-loved franchise. Furthermore, its layers of depth and new gameplay options complement the tried and tested approach. Accordingly, it is addictive and tough to put down.

This game managed to combine several genres in the best way, it has a good story but it is simple and not so engaging, a super fun gameplay that may become a bit repetitive because of its loop, overall Gordian Quest is a wonderful game. Which has so much content that it is definitely worth the $20.

Overall, the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is fantastic value for money. Both titles play and run exceptionally well, offering an immersive and engaging gameplay experience. The environments and character models are unbelievably lifelike, and the OST features a mature take on the Uncharted sound. Narratively, A Thief’s End is arguable the strongest in the series, especially if you’re already familiar with Nate’s story. Consequently, you may want to wait this one out until you’ve had the opportunity to play through the original trilogy. However, if you aren’t too fussed with the lifetime story of Nate, then jumping in here is also a viable option. Regardless of which way you go, this package is definitely worth picking up.

Soulstone Survivors is an incredible addition to the genre. It is addictive, fast-paced, and captivating. Dare I say it, but I think it is better then Vampire Survivors!

The Shift Legacy Collection is an evolution of an interesting game mechanic, from the simple, easy levels of the original Shift to the sprawling levels of Shift 4. The puzzles hold up better than the platforming, but it's a nice trip down memory lane for some, and an afternoon of light puzzle-platforming for everyone else.

Overall, despite my many confusions, I enjoy the game’s complexity. The narrative is super enticing and has my attention and is full of twists that I was not expecting—and I’m only a few hours in! The gameplay is yes, complex at times and can be slightly confusing in the beginning, but I think that’s part of the charm to the game. Once you get more comfortable with the many elements in play, things will start making a lot more sense. As someone who went in completely blind to the Pathologic series, I thoroughly enjoyed my time and will continue to play, potentially after I give the previous installments a try. This is one that I can happily recommend!

The Drifter's lovely art, excellent voice acting, and great writing make it a treat to play. It even has exciting gameplay, even if it can't escape all the foibles of the genre.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is another triumphant return to a franchise dear to my heart. Superb campaigns remade in glorious visuals and a streamlined user experience help make this collection the definitive pro skater package. Whilst the changes made to THPS4 may upset some purists, this is still, for the most part, the games I grew up with fantastic modernised controls and gorgeous visual and animation design. Of course, the glaring omissions in the soundtrack soured my experience to some extent, but thankfully, not terminally. In an era of remakes or remasters, you can place this one squarely in the remake category. A fully remade game from the ground up. Tony Hawk Pro Skater games give you a little slice of nostalgia and they’re just downright fun!

Pokemon Legends Arceus delivers the kind of Pokemon game experience so many have been hoping and asking for such a long time and the potential to do more is huge. The satisfaction of the main story to the new style of battling and focus on exploring this world rather than just being in it gives it an amazing tone that is not about just “I wanna be the very best” and instead has a far richer “I want to learn everything to share that knowledge with everyone” goal that I thrive on. What an incredible way to kick off 2022 as a Nintendo Switch owner.

In the end, Sonic x Shadow generations is a must-have for Sonic fans. Sonic Generations remains one of the best Sonic games of all time, and the addition of Shadow Generations elevates this package to a whole new level. The new mechanics and collectibles in Shadow’s adventure add depth and replay-ability, while the visual upgrades and refined hub world make it clear that SEGA has learned from its past mistakes, especially when compared to Sonic Frontiers. This is a perfect time to hop in and catch up on Shadows story before the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie later this year.

Frostpunk 2 is a brilliant city-builder game. It is difficult but very rewarding to those who stick with it and learn from their mistakes. I am a newcomer to the series and I love it. While I struggled at times (took me 3 attempts to pass the prologue) I persevered and kept coming back. There is a steep learning curve here but it is worth getting through it. Veterans of these games will love the survival aspect of the game and building massive cities and challenging themselves in the Utopia Builder. Lots of freedom of choice present and you can play whatever way you want. Dictator or fair leader? Good or evil? Maybe in the middle? Up to you. Lots of replay value. An excellent game that is worth checking out for PS5 players.

Wartales is a phenomenal old-school RPG with a modern edge. You'll love the vast open-world and the freedom to do as you please. However, the brutal gameplay and the spinning of many plates make it a tough game to play.

Commander Quest is an addictive, polished strategy roguelite that understands the appeal of combining smart planning with unpredictable outcomes. It won’t replace the genre’s giants, but it carves out a niche with its breezy pace, clever mechanics, and bite-sized battles that beg for “just one more run.” Whether you’re a deckbuilding enthusiast, a tactics fan, or just looking for a fresh spin on strategy, Commander Quest is well worth your attention.

I must say that RogueBook is one of those strategic action-packed games, with an adventurous journey and plenty of detailed graphics and entertaining scenes when moves are being made that I just love.

The package of Rolling Gunner + Over Power provides countless hours of entertainment through its immensely replayable and masterfully balanced gameplay, making it not just a must-play for fans of the shmup genre but also an excellent starting point for those who are looking to test the waters in the bullet hell genre for the first time, but have been wary of the challenge.

Despite straightforward gameplay, DynoPunk is an incredible game. The game’s branching pathways, fantastic story, and extraordinary visuals immersed me in the world of this game. It is tough to fault this game as it is entertaining throughout the entire runtime.

FF7R is a fantastic reimaging of the iconic title. Refusing to classify itself as a nostalgia act, it expands upon the original narrative in new and exciting ways. The combat system has a seamless fluidity to it, allowing for engaging and entertaining gameplay sequences. Artistically, FF7R retains the level of quality players have come to expect from Square Enix, but it does falter ever so slightly in some environments. The updated rendition of the classic OST is outstanding from start to finish, with the sound design team matching it in every regard.

There is no one puzzle repeated, each is with its own challenges and difficulties. So there is no way to expect the game is going to be easy, even if a few levels are a breeze. That is what makes this game exciting and great, it takes a little more planning and sometimes a few mistakes to survive. I honestly just love puzzle games and this one really keeps me motivated, engaged, and amused to keep playing.

Honestly, it’s hard to say that this one game is horrible because in total it was just so much classic FUN! Games back then use to be slower and the colors or way they move are very obvious in each game. Sometimes the sayings, as phrases are a little much and at that time the game was pretty much exciting. So modern games to classic will be hard to find it that entertaining and enjoyable as many would like them to be. However, they are collections of the past, not much changed, and really a blast from the past when playing.

Train Sim World 6 is a fantastic addition to an ultra-realistic franchise. I love the new routes and gameplay mechanics. If you enjoy the franchise, you will love what Dovetail Games has done.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a fantastic Metroidvania Sci-fi adventure. It can be enjoyed alone or locally and online with another. The drip-fed mechanics, exploration elements, and vibrant worlds are a joy to experience. Though the action can sometimes feel overwhelming, this shouldn't put you off. Accordingly, it is a gem of a game and a must-play experience.

What’s perhaps most impressive is how inclusive the game is without being preachy about it. The Vale was built from the ground up to be accessible to blind and low-vision players, but the experience it delivers is powerful for everyone. It demonstrates that great gameplay doesn’t need to rely on visuals—it just needs immersion, purpose, and heart.

The Darkest Tales is near-perfect. With stunning visuals, an engaging story, challenging combat, and puzzles, it’s a great play. Let down slightly by the frustrations of double jumping and unexpected difficulty spikes.

Refind Self: The Personality Test Game is positively unusual with high re-playability.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is your quintessential kart racing game with great content and a unique and interesting gimmick in the form of the CrossWorlds. What appears to be a very simple kart racing game has far more depth and difficulty than meets the eye, with a plethora of modes, tracks, racers and upgrades. Granted, there are some minor gripes with the tracks sometimes feeling overwhelming, and some punishingly unfair moments. Still, if you are looking for a classic kart racing game with fun mechanics and great online and local co-op gameplay, then this is for you! Sonic is back and with a bang!

Borderlands 4 isn’t just a return to form, it feels like the natural evolution of the series. A solid story, best-in-class side quests, rewarding loot, and some of the most creative Vault Hunter designs yet make this entry stand tall. It manages to respect the chaotic fun that defined the earlier games while laying down a stronger, more focused foundation for the future. For long time fans like me, this is the Borderlands we’ve been waiting for since 2.

Resident Evil 4 (2023) is a phenomenal remake of a fantastic game. With a twist on the excellent plot and some incredible new mechanics, this is great for newcomers and veterans alike. If you haven't experienced this dank and grim world, you are in for a treat. However, if this isn't your first rodeo, you'll adore the additional elements and the gritty and uncomfortable story.

Grind Survivors is a fantastic addition to the genre. It is addictive, easy to understand, and filled with twists and turns. Although it could be repetitive, this shouldn't put you off. A must-play game.

A creepy short story, with unsettling art and a nice, if unexplored, central gameplay mechanic.
