But Why Tho

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book

8/10

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a delight. It’s perfect for both the young and the young at heart.

Darksiders: Warmastered Edition

8.5/10

While not the most polished action game nor the deepest adventure game, Darksiders Warmastered Edition remains one of the most unique action-adventure games of its era.

Mina the Hollower

9.5/10

Mina the Hollower is simply a blast to play and is another success by Yacht Club Games that will make anyone who plays it ask for more of this darker world they’ve created.

007: First Light

9/10

IO Interactive feels like they’ve found a new home in the James Bond franchise. 007 First Light is a blast, with a tense and enthralling narrative that punches way higher and harder than anyone could have expected.

Bubsy 4D

5/10

Bubsy 4D tries to modernize, yet still feels stuck in the past. Uninteresting level designs, underwhelming bosses, and a short game overall leave one wanting more.

Tales of Arise

7.5/10

Despite the visual issues, Tales of Arise – Beyond the Dawn Edition does feel great on the Switch 2. The trade-offs here are understandable, as having one of the best JRPGs of this generation on the go is fantastic. The base game feels as good as ever, with the expansion...

Coffee Talk: Tokyo

8.5/10

Coffee Talk Tokyo delivers an incredible story filled with fully realized characters whose lives will undoubtedly bring players to tears (both happy and sad). What the game says about life, our choices, and how we face both is a powerful statement that we can never hear enough of.

Forza Horizon 6

9.5/10

Forza Horizon 6 is the near-perfect racing sandbox fans have wanted for years.

Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth

8.5/10

Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth is about how small acts of kindness can drive out the cold and the fear that comes with it. It’s about opening your door and asking someone how you can help. While Moomin starts the game as a scared child, he discovers the warmth and joy that...

Outbound

7/10

Outbound is a road trip that rewards patience over speed. Square Glade Games has built a world worth getting lost in, with a van customization system that keeps you tinkering and a presentation that always makes the next horizon look worth chasing.

Directive 8020

9.5/10

Directive 8020 is a love letter to the space horror that looks beyond just going bump in the night. The distrust sown across the small team, the dialogue choices, and the interactions all craft a game that feels like it belongs on the shelf alongside titles like Dead Space, Sunshine,...

Mixtape

8/10

Mixtape offers a unique experience, even if it looks familiar at first. The narrative approach to memory and growing up creates a coming-of-age story that weaves through the messiness of teenage emotions. While the very small amount of gameplay can feel repetitive, the story mitigates that weakness.
