    WORLD HEROES PERFECT
    World Heroes Perfect was taken from the crates with all its nostalgia intact and brought into the Premium Collection. If Eternal Champions was your Genesis fix back in the day, World Heroes Perfect might bring back those same feelings while letting you share them with the power of rollback netcode. Despite a few small nitpicks, it still has that same great taste you would get from the red and white MVS cabinet. It is something that needs to be experienced at least once. Its only real crime is not bringing the rest of its series kin along with it for a proper history lesson.

    MotoGP 26
    MotoGP 26 lands squarely in the middle of the pack, offering strong visuals and solid racing mechanics on Xbox Series X, but held back by familiar modes and a lack of real innovation. It’s an enjoyable and reliable entry for fans, yet it never quite pushes beyond what the series has already achieved, making it a good but not essential instalment.

    Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta
    Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta is still the same game from the PlayStation Vita. It is still a solid title to play with a strong core gameplay loop. It still has some of the problems of being made for that hardware, like its graphics and party AI.

    Homura: The Crimson Warriors
    Homura: The Crimson Warriors is an otome game that should have been a hit with its setting, characters, and vibe. It does do a lot well, but some of the parts that it doesn’t do well with make the whole experience suffer.

    Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection
    Most people buy collections because of the games, and in that sense, you cannot go wrong here. Mega Man Star Force is a great series that you will have a lot of fun with, but it’s just not as good as Battle Network was. If you’re looking for special features, there are plenty here, but compared to other offerings from Capcom, it’s quite obvious that their Legacy Collections are copy/paste paint-by-numbers by now, so if you were hoping for something special or extra here, you won’t find it.

    Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE
    In attempting to line up the perfect horror remake shot, Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake takes a number of steps forward and a few steps back. The ghosts and environments are scarier, aided by new appearances and sound design. On the flip side, in chasing realism, the camera gameplay struggles under the weight of too many mechanics. As a game, Fatal Frame II Remake feels overdeveloped, though its horror elements are practically picture-perfect.

    God of War Sons of Sparta
    God of War: Sons of Sparta is a very good video game, with strong visuals, excellent music, and simple yet effective gameplay driving an ultimately interesting story. However, as a God of War title, it is held back from true greatness by early pacing issues and a presentation style that feels somewhat tone-deaf to the rest of the series.

    Styx: Blades of Greed
    Styx: Blades of Greed delivers smart stealth design and expanded levels that reward patience, but rough edges and limited accessibility hold it back from greatness.

    My Hero Academia: All's Justice
    MY HERO ACADEMIA: All's Justice is the more improved version of the My Hero's Justice games. Unfortunately, it doesn't justify getting this game if you are new to the series. A lot of the narrative is gutted, and the controls can feel janky outside combat.

    Milano's Odd Job Collection
    Milano’s Odd Job Collection is a charming game that is basic and straight to the point. Do a bunch of mini-games as jobs to earn money, then spend that money on decorating the house or learning recipes.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 7
    Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7 is what we have come to expect from the franchise for better and worse. It just doesn’t do enough to set itself apart and recommend at full price, unless you specifically want the game for zombie mode.

    The Outer Worlds 2
    In almost every aspect The Outer Worlds 2 is an improvement over its predecessor. However, been the rather bland and dare I say boring main quest, combined with the fact this game offers very little new to the genre by way of mechanics. It would be hard to say that The Outer Worlds 2 is anything more than a good, yet uninspired RPG. One that is harder to recommend given the stiff competition in the RPG genre and sub-genres here in 2025.

    Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout DX
    Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & The Secret Hideout DX is an updated and enhanced version of the original game. It looks gorgeous, even if it is still a bit clunky overall.

    Rick Henderson
    Rick Henderson has a lot to love when you get to play it and figure out the loop. It can be a bit too simple but for an arcade title it fits in well.

    Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage
    Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage plays it safe but remains deliberate in its execution. Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage gives both new and returning World Tournament fighters a reason to jump back in and welcome fresh challengers. Expecting more than the competitive spirit of “fight everyone on everything” might lead to a ring out for your expectations, though.

    Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection
    Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection contains some of the greatest and most iconic games in the Mortal Kombat franchise! These were the games that put the series on the map, challenged censorship, and paved the way for other fighting games. Despite the games being fantastic, the selection of titles feels bloated and unnecessary, while the features, while good, seem like an average offering.

    Ninja Gaiden 4
    Ninja Gaiden 4 delivers fast and furious action that will have you hacking and slashing through demons and cybernetic soldiers in a fun and satisfying way, but its overuse of gimmicks in its level design, lack of variety of weapons, and flat story keep this from being a game that will leave a lasting impression.

    Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga
    Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga is a fighter brought back from the era of the PlayStation Portable. A lot of the enhancements are great but it doesn’t stop it from feeling like its still from a handheld from that era.

    NASCAR 25
    NASCAR 25 aims to be the definitive next-gen NASCAR experience on Xbox Series X, delivering stunning visuals, authentic handling, and a deeper career mode. While the foundation is strong, persistent bugs, technical hiccups, and missing features keep it from reaching full speed. It’s a solid start for the series’ revival, just one major patch away from greatness

    Little Nightmares III
    Little Nightmares III is a solid addition to the series, as it offers more scares and thrilling chase sequences. It could use some refinement to its systems, but Supermassive Games made for a smooth transition for the 3D puzzle platformer.

    Hell is Us
    Hell is Us is an ambitious game, both in its presentation and subject matter. Exploring a dour setting without waypoints may not be for everyone. But for those looking for something different and experimental, Hell is Us offers a unique experience granting a sense of achievement.

    Cladun X3
    Cladun X3 is a pixel game that has a lot of charm and creativity. It can feel like it throws a lot at you, but at the end of the day, it is a fun and adventurous time.

    Wrap House Simulator
    Wrap House Simulator is just another one of those meme games that streamers play when they want to have a chill night, which is why it can be recommended. But if you don’t like the idea of working a virtual job after coming home from your real job, then this might not be for you.

    Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
    Death Stranding 2: On the Beach continues the same gameplay from the original without any meaningful innovations or ideas. That said, the brilliant story and unparalleled music and performances make this worth a look.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate
    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a cool roguelike that may stand on its own within the legacy of the brand. While it does its homework for what the Turtles are, Splintered Fate delivers a challenging step for a roguelike, whether it’s solo or even with others. If Hades is your stitch, the turtle boys’ new foray might be something to definitely check out.

    Atomfall: Wicked Isle
    Atomfall Wicked Isle starts off promising with a trip to an eerie island inhabited by cults and creepy fish people. But the call of the mainland proves too much as it segues back to the base game in many ways. It’s a fine diversion, but doesn’t do much to differentiate itself from what’s already in the game.

    Thrive: Heavy Lies The Crown
    Thrive: Heavy Lies The Crown is not a bad game it’s just a game that is chasing the greats and constantly falling short. However, falling short in this genre tends to mean you are still a decent game.

    Chained Echoes: Ashes of Elrant
    Chained Echoes: Ashes of Elrant may have its flaws with its execution, but if you liked the combat and the characters, then it is worth a look.

    Fallen City Brawl
    Fallen City Brawl is a fun beat ’em up experience, but it doesn’t have any replay value. I also wish there was a bit more substance to the story in levels.
