Saros turns bullet hell into a ruthless ballet, pushing you to play aggressively or get left behind. Set on a beautiful, hostile and ever-changing planet, it blends intense combat with a mysterious narrative that slowly pulls you in. It’s punishing but addictive.- XGN

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire might not generate as much adrenaline as other boomer shooters, but it more than makes up for it with its charm and visual style. The top notch voice acting helps sell this unique blend of shooting, 30's animation and the Noir detective genre.- XGN

Six is back, and this time the nightmare feels bigger and more personal than ever. The VR experience is highly immersive, pulling you into its twisted world. It’s scary, haunting, and adventurous, though during intense moments the controls can feel slightly clunky and break immersion.- XGN

An asynchronic multiplayer, which you play Single Player is an interesting concept which is executed perfectly. You change the world around you while having to deal with the choices of your predecessor. All that wrapped in a world that is beautiful despite all the plastic pollution.- XGN

The game offers a quirky life simulation managing Mii characters on a lively island, focusing on relationships, humor, and unexpected interactions, though its long term appeal depends on tolerance for repetition.- XGN

Pragmata is a visually stunning game that blends hacking, shooting, and much more into one seamless experience. The game looks incredible and effortlessly has you multitasking as if it’s second nature. Meanwhile, Diana easily steals the spotlight as the cutest android ever.- XGN

Crimson Desert is an ambitious, visually stunning open-world RPG that blends brutal, skill-based combat with a richly detailed and immersive world. While its sprawling narrative can feel unfocused at times and boss difficulty occasionally borders, this game blows you away battle by battle.- XGN

A re-release or soft reboot of the latest zombie slasher from Techland is better and more challenging than before, with a new persistent survival mode, new roadkill races and more. The best part: it's a free upgrade.- XGN

Nintendo knows how to remarket a game for a new release. Just add a whole pile of content and a brand new story to it. And it works. The game feels like a complete new version, with hours of extra fun to it and a lot of minigames for two or more players.- XGN

A fast, complex futuristic arcade racer that doesn't shy away from doing things differently. This one is not for everyone, but those that can master the controls and keep their cool will have a blast.- XGN

If you were to compare this game to a zombie movie, it's the game version of a decent popcorn flick. Not a revolutionary title that will blow you away, but more like Expendables with zombies. Popcorn, friends online, and a few evenings of mindless fun. Sometimes that's just what you need.- XGN

Though the simple gameplay and fun exploration do overstay their welcome, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is still good fun. Especially for a younger audience. The darker story, while lacking a bit in depth, is well balanced in a way even children can enjoy it. Most of all, collecting all the Monsties is a joy.- XGN

WWE 2K26 improves the wrestling experience with more dynamic matches and smoother gameplay. The game offers new modes and content for wrestling fans. However, some of the storylines feel underwhelming, preventing the game from fully reaching its potential.- XGN

Kazuma Kiryu returns in a modern remake of Yakuza 3, balancing life at an Okinawa orphanage with a new criminal conflict. The added Dark Ties story expands the narrative but doesn’t always improve the experience.- XGN

If you're a fan of Animal Crossing or Pokémon with a Switch 2, then Pokémon Pokopia is a must buy. It's a cute cozy game that you can play at your own speed, while also being surprisingly hard to put down. The story conclusion is a little disappointing and the controls can be a little unruly, but the game is so much fun that these small issues are easy to ignore.- XGN

Capcom shows that Resident Evil remains innovative after 30 years, drawing fans and new players into a brand-new story enhanced by a tense and oppressive atmosphere. Despite minor flaws this could be the horror game of the year.- XGN

Code Vein introduces several new concepts to the saturated Soulslike genre with a partnersystem that shines, a focus on story, which is actually influenced by timetravelling and player's choices. The game does enough different to make it stand on its own feet, while still being a Soulslike in its core.- XGN

Latest iteration of a long running series doesn't entirely know whether to go for realistic tennis play or full party mode. The Fever rackets and courts are a welcome deviation from the norm.- XGN

The new God of War adventure is a solid 2D metroidvania and offers a fresh look at the early life of Kratos. However, the shift from the classic God of War style to this new approach is quite big. The pacing and combat are also somewhat slow, and the gameplay eventually becomes repetitive.- XGN

A great game for those that know the series, but confusing for others. The 3-on-3 tagteam battlesystem works well and the roster is diverse. The game suffers from some difficulty inconsistencies. All in all, it doesn't rise above the competition.- XGN

Same Samus, different world means Beyond is a fine combination between everything that makes Metroid games great, with some much needed additions. The open world addition isn't really that great, but the play with new psi-powers and bike keep the gameplay fresh.- XGN

As Activision’s popular franchise keeps sinking away in quicksand, Black Ops 7 presents a new low for the shooter. The campaign is absolutely horrendous, as is the new mode Endgame. Aside from removing skill-based matchmaking, multiplayer offers nothing new or exciting. At the very least, Zombies is still good for countless hours of fun, but it really acts as a crutch for Treyarch in Black Ops 7.- XGN

Released on the tail of Mario Kart, this combat racer firmly stands its ground with a wide variety of races, battles, party-games and more. Its simple controls unlock unexpected complex strategies not seen in its moustache-man led competition.- XGN

Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment delivers stellar action, a story that bridges the gaps left in Tears of the Kingdom, and runs great on Switch 2, but the repetitive nature of the musou-genre works against it occasionally.- XGN
