Marvel Cosmic Invasion is an excellent beat 'em up, but an even better love letter to the Marvel universe. Even if it has a few balance issues, it is one of the most approachable games of this genre, and one that stands out due to its style and combat mechanics.
Where Winds Meet is an amalgamation of so many systems, that should feel overwhelming, but don't. Instead, they all work cohesively to offer a unique Wuxia experience, and one of the best in the market.
Anno 117: Pax Romana is an excellent entry for newcomers, while also adding many features that will bring back the most die-hard fans of the series.
Satisfactory is still one of the greatest building and automation games out there, and it has now finally landed on console. This version flawlessly transitions all its systems to a console environment, and while it has a few visual issues, they don't ruin the addictive experience.
Arc Raiders is the extraction shooter we all needed. It is approachable, challenging, and puts player choices front and center. This is one of the most successful live-service games of all time.
Painkiller undeservedly wears the name of the beloved shooter and nothing else. Even if its gunplay is excellent, everything else from missions to progression is uninspiring, making it an underwhelming addition to the niche franchise.
The Outer Worlds 2 is a superb sci-fi RPG full of meaningful choices, perks, and skills that will drastically change how you experience the world. Fallout New Vegas has finally been eclipsed.
Jurassic World Evolution 3 is, undoubtedly, the best entry in the series that brings many familiar things to let you craft the dino-park of your dreams while also adding several new features to make this entry the most robust and addictive in the whole franchise.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 could have been an excellent vampire experience, but its uninspiring gameplay, technical issues, and frustrating combat leave it in the dark.
Keeper
Keeper is a fabulous story-driven adventure with a beautiful art style that doesn't need words, a bloated open world, or trend chasing to weave a compelling narrative all its own.
Absolum
Absolum combines two iconic genres to create the first rogue 'em up, which ends up being one of the most addictive and unique gaming experiences of the year.
Little Nightmares 3 stands out thanks to its memorable plot and terrifying levels, but some A.I. bugs and a slow pacing during the final act stain what could have been an excellent horror experience.
