End of Abyss delivers striking visuals, unsettling enemy designs, and an enjoyable scanner mechanic. Its twin-stick controls are a novel idea, but they reinforce the action while the survival horror takes a back seat. Combined with progress-halting bugs and repeated backtracking, it left me wanting to finish rather than keep...
Between the combat, story, soundtrack, and sheer spectacle of it all, Ace Combat 8 delivers exactly the kind of experience I had been waiting years for. It’s easily one of the best games in the series, and I loved damn near every moment of it.

We played Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse at PAX West 2026 and came away impressed by Rose Belmont’s combat, responsive movement, and exploration.

Mortal Shell II is a massive step up from the original, delivering stronger Soulslike combat, deeper Shells, and a huge world, despite a frustrating camera.
Our Beast of Reincarnation review covers combat, exploration, performance, and jank in Game Freak's most ambitious game yet. Is it worth $59.99

Bluey’s Quest for The Gold Pen is a charming kids game that captures the humor, imagination, and heart of the beloved Bluey series.

The Outerhaven’s review of Reanimal finds it to be a dark, atmospheric horror experience that steadily escalates through cryptic storytelling, co-op-focused exploration, and tense chase and boss encounters. Short but impactful, it trades familiarity for discomfort, delivering a haunting experience that lingers well beyond its credits.
The Outerhaven's review of Nioh 3, is easily the best game in the series thanks to Koei Tecmo refining just about everything in it from prior games.
