CloverPit is a fun luck-based rogue-lite that requires strategies and careful planning to be able to beat. It is easy to pick up, and the quick attempts make for a fast and fun experience that many can enjoy. If you enjoy rogue-lite style games, I would recommend giving it a try.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a genre throwback to the beat’em up games of yesteryear. With a robust team of characters from the mainstream to the deepest of cuts, and 16 action-packed missions, this is a fantastic game from top to bottom.

Crossworlds highlights the Sonic series more so than just being a catch-all mascot racer for the whole publishing line, and highlights the creativity of the world around its notable platformer, with a solid racer that, while its gimmick isn’t terribly impressive, the customization and gameplay around its racing is nonetheless engaging. 

If you are craving a cute and whimsical fairytale to play, I urge you to give Princess of the Lillies a chance. Aside from the frustration of the difficulty spike and screen movement, I loved this storybook adventure. I really feel that developer Whyknot has created something really special here, and I am eager to see what they might create in the future!

While this remaster could have rebuilt some environments to feel like dated, there is still a charming approach to preserving the 3DS visuals, even if it usually conflicts with what I prefer for a remaster of an older game. Still, Monster Hunter Stories is a vivid and colorful world to explore, and the addition of voice acting, really provides the game with an added boost of personality

With engaging combat, crafting, and the ability to turn this simple cartographer into a worthy soldier, Of Ash and Steel became an adventure worth taking on. If you like Euro-jank style RPG’s this one is definitely for you.

Despite a somewhat inconsistent story in its execution, Monster Hunter Stories 2 is an engaging adventure with a ton of Monsties to tame, adventures to be had, and a combat system that is just as thrilling as its real-time sibling. Stories is certainly a beast of its own with a fun cast of characters and its own take on the Monster Hunter formula.

Total Chaos is a very inconsistent experience that I like far more than I don't, one encounter aside. The atmosphere is incredibly well done with some interesting enemy designs and a fairly engaging combat system that reminded me of Condemned: Criminal Origins.

At the core, Dispatch tells a tale of humanity, togetherness, and teamwork. It does so with immense quality across the board. From beginning to end, right down to a satisfying conclusion that both leaves space for expansion of these characters and the universe, but also works fantastically as a one-off narrative adventure.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment tells the story of Zelda being transported back in time during the early events of Tears of the Kingdom. While we saw glimpses of this story during that adventure, Age of Imprisonment tells the full story across a fantastic campaign.

There is a solid shooter here that feels like the perfect marriage of something like Contra meets Smash Bros. With a robust multiplayer suite, a fun campaign, and some decent customization to your soldier, Strike Force Heroes is fun, while it lasts.

While it was somewhat commonplace back then to overlook so many of the original’s issues, it is downright impossible now with the wealth of titles releasing every day. Sacred 2 deserved a much better effort, and this is frankly one of the most disappointing remasters in recent history. 

SpongeBob and Patrick are back after their adventures in The Cosmic Shake. While the previous adventure’s mechanics and feel are present, Titans of the Tide has a better story, a better camera, and a big focus on the ghostly platforming hijinks of its dynamic duo. It’s more of the same, but that isn’t always a bad thing.

Neon Inferno, despite its throwaway title, is a throwback to some of the best games of all time. It simply feels great to control, and while two-player can get a bit hectic, given the size of the sprites, it still is a fantastic hour and change to experience, even if the rating economy can hold back some of the additional weaponry you can bring into combat.

As you are granted a massive loan to open the Laundry Store of your dreams, you suddenly realize that it isn’t just a job, it’s a lifestyle. Building the perfect shop, managing your clients, and dealing with the oddities that come out of the woodwork, Laundry Store Simulator is loads of fun.

ARC Raiders is a PvPvE Extraction shooter where Humanity has been driven underground by robotic threats. And while those threats are smart, agile, and cunning, the biggest threat to Humanity just might be itself.

Based upon the Netflix films, Chickenhare and his pals attempted to track down a jeweled feather and its gemstones from the grip of Spiking Beard, a pirate hedgehog. While the console and PC ports are visually more appealing, the Switch version is absolutely painful.

Obsidian is back with another installment of The Outer Worlds. As rifts begin to appear in the Arcadia Star System, you’ll work against or with different factions to save the galaxy. With deeper gameplay and progression systems, The Outer Worlds 2 is a step above its predecessor, but its companions are just downright boring.

Football Manager 2026 arrives with big expectations. After years of incremental updates, the promise of a new engine and a broader, more inclusive football world had fans excited for a real leap forward. The result is a game that feels ambitious and polished in some areas but still rough around the edges in others.

I was not sure what to initially expect with Silent Hill f. It had no noticeable connection to the titular town, nor did it even take place in the same country and time period. The biggest question on my mind, as was the same with many other fans of the franchise, was Silent Hill f… Silent Hill?

With four player co-op, a competent track builder, and a great feel to its gameplay, Hot Wheels Let's Race Ultimate Speed is a solid racer with a “Kart Racer” feel. Fans of the show, or the genre in general, will find a lot to like here.

Fast and Furious Arcade Edition is a straight port of the 2022 Arcade Classic. It feels great to play, has superb arcade visuals, and a solid sense of speed. However, the Fast and Furious branding and ties to the license is simply wasted.

Painkiller 2025 is a reimaging of the original game, albeit with very little connective tissue. While the story, characters, and endgame all fall flat, the core gameplay is a wild ride, even if the inspiration from Doom 2016 goes a little too far and causes the game to lose much of its identity.

Bye Sweet Carole has all the hallmarks of classic adventure games and the countless point and click games of the past. It handles horror in such a unique way due to its Disney-like presentation, and frankly, the whole experience feels like a truly interactive animated film.

Just Dance is back, sort of. As Just Dance has continued its life as a live service game, it is back for its yearly installment with 40 new songs and a new party mode. While the Party mode has some nice ideas, its collection of songs this year is a pretty big miss.

Ball x Pit is a roguelite like no other. A once thriving city has been destroyed and those looking to seek out treasure have ventured to the pit. Combine wild abilities and numerous character traits together as you fuse and upgrade your skills to collect gold, resources and more, to build a town, collect more people, and destroy enemies with your.. well.. balls.

Battlefield 6 had a lot to prove, especially as it’s been the only franchise to really go toe to toe with Call of Duty. The initial sales of Battlefield 6 certainly show promise, and with a Battle Royale mode to drop at some point in the future, there is a lot to be hopeful for here.

Becastled takes some of the best parts of other castle-building and defense games, putting them in one place for all to play and enjoy. From map customization, tech trees for building and unit upgrades, managing essential resources, and changing seasons to keep you on your toes.
