Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is a significant quality-of-life improvement over the base game, offering a wealth of upgrades. The addition of the Xbox Series and Switch 2 is the cherry on top for series fans, but the icing on the cake is having an incredible RPG available on the...
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond might not be a total reinvention of the famed series, but it's refined and faster than ever. Despite the prolonged development period, the campaign comes together to deliver an excellent outing for Samus as she explores an expansive world with new psychic powers that imbue the...
Kirby Air Riders shares a lot of the same DNA as its predecessor, and it's a sequel that belongs in this era. The simplistic controls might not be for everyone, but if you can look past that, you've got a competent racer that does its own thing instead of attempting...
Where Winds Meet dazzles with its breathtaking landscapes and authentic wuxia feel, but struggles under technical hiccups and uneven combat. Fans of martial arts epics will find moments of true magic, yet the game’s pacing and bloated systems may test patience. A visually stunning adventure that excites as much as...
Lumines Arise is sensational in every sense. It will wow you with its audio-visual cues and dance across your screen in a way that'll make you feel emotions. It feels almost otherworldly, and yet, it's one of the most calming and memorable experiences I've had with video games this year.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment’s ability to flesh out the past of the latest branch in the The Legend of Zelda series is immediately noticeable. Being canon in the existing Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom timeline makes Zelda’s journey into the past a worthwhile experience. As much as I...
Summary Bounty Star has some interesting moments, but it needed more time to cook. There are polish issues that really take you out of the experience. Clem, though, is an interesting character dealing with the backwater dealings of a bounty hunter. The repetitive loop wanes on you by the end of...
Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D is a tribute to the enduring appeal of the Dragon Quest series’ early roots. It combines familiar elements with refreshed lighting, expanded worlds, and improved user experience.
The Outer Worlds 2 is Obsidian firing on all cylinders, and its refined combat, storytelling, and builds will lead to multiple playthroughs.
Part roguelike and all beat 'em up, Absolum is confident in its skin, and it shows. The world of Talamh was created with thoughtfulness and feels like a character of its own volition. You've got an interesting premise that lets you explore a pretty incredible place, and it's filled with dangers,...
Little Nightmares 3 is, for better or worse, more of the same. Supermassive Games understands what makes the series work, and it effectively translates to the third entry. The formula works after three games. However, the combat is such a distraction from what makes these games work: the tense exploration...
Dying Light: The Beast brings back Kyle Crane for a revenge-driven, contrived story that mostly works. Having access to newfound powers means you can step toe-to-toe with these creatures, but the magic of the series is and always will be the parkour, the cities, and the exploration. I like being able...
