Galactic Racer pulls podracing into modern gaming at blistering speed, joined by a trio of speeders for would-be galactic grease monkeys to play with.
Control Resonant is Remedy at its most ambitious, turning Manhattan into a reality-bending playground that’s fascinating to explore.
A party 16 years in the making is going down in Japan, and Forza Horizon 6 is your five-star host. After over a decade of globetrotting festivities, the racing series has, at long last, touched down in the beating heart of car culture, and the wait was worth every second.
For better and worse, Pokemon Champions achieves its goal. It’s a competitive battling game that does a fantastic job of onboarding casual fans while streamlining much of what made constructing a battle-ready team in the mainline games so long-winded.
The ninth entry in Capcom’s zombie-slaying series is a tale of two halves. Unlike 2021’s Village, which attempted to make survival and action-horror work in a single campaign, Capcom decouples the styles and hands them off to Requiem’s dual heroes.
Instead of another iteration, Nioh 3 reworks the foundations of the series, trading its tightly controlled, mission-based structure for a fully open world. It’s the most radical change Team Ninja has made to the series yet, and one that, overall, sticks the landing.

The team behind 2017’s Super Mario Odyssey returns to deliver a love letter to the burly primate, making the genius decision to transform Nintendo’s hairiest mascot into its version of the Incredible Hulk.
Elden Ring Nightreign is paradoxically bigger and smaller than every Souls title before it – reserved in scope but bottomless in ambition. FromSoftware’s most experimental title yet wears contemporary inspiration on its sleeve without entirely separating itself from tradition, but it won’t be for everyone.
Survival games, frequently deployed in Early Access, often fail to realize their full potential. Last Oasis and Rust Legacy, the latter of which has only been kept alive by way of a dedicated fan community, remain unfinished works.
